In the glittering yet volatile world of 1921 Vienna, a life of brilliance and turmoil ends, and a family erases his memory.

Eisig Lubetzky-a child prodigy and prominent Jewish writer-dies by suicide, leaving behind a wife, three children, and a legacy that almost vanishes overnight. His name fades. His story is buried. And in the family, the silence surrounding his life shapes generations to come.

Many decades later, his psychologist granddaughter and her psychiatrist husband set out to uncover the truth. Following a trail of letters, articles, forgotten manuscripts, and hidden family secrets, they embark on a thirty-year journey across continents, languages, and history itself. From the forgotten shtetls of Belarus to fin-de-siècle Vienna and new lives in Montreal, this is a powerful reckoning with the past-a story of suppressed memories, inherited wounds, and the extraordinary resilience it takes to break the chain.

Their search leads them deep into:

- the intellectual and cultural ferment of fin-de-siècle Vienna

- the literary legacy of a provocative writer

- the collapsing world of Austro-Hungarian Jewry

- the power of stigma in the face of mental illness

- the enduring psychological aftermath of war, exile, and silence

What emerges is more than the portrait of a gifted but troubled man whose early promise was undone by hardship, prejudice, and mental illness. It is also a powerful story of how one life-and one hidden truth-can reverberate across generations, shaping identities, relationships, and emotional lives in ways both visible and unseen.

As the authors reconstruct Eisig's life from fragments scattered across time and place, they must confront their own inheritance-the weight of family secrets, the legacy of loss, and the possibility of understanding.

A compelling blend of historical mystery, biography, and memoir, this haunting narrative explores intergenerational trauma, buried truths, and the redemptive power of storytelling to heal what silence could not.

For readers of family memoirs, Jewish history, and psychologically rich narrative nonfiction, The Empty Envelope reveals how reckoning with the past can transform the present-and open the door to reconciliation. Immensely readable and profoundly human, The Empty Envelope speaks to anyone who has inherited unanswered questions and dared to "fill in the gaps."

J Brooke's I Can Tell You the Version That Will Make You Take My Side begins in a rich and specific New York City childhood full of binaries, then catapults into a fully realized, self-aware adulthood where the speaker experiences parenting, a breast cancer scare, and the complicated questioning of top-surgery.

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Emma Slate comes the third book in the Saddles & Spurs series.

I swerved off a mountain road into a ditch to avoid a moose.

And then a rugged cowboy in a beast of a truck comes to my rescue.

Brooks Keel.

The quiet loner at Elk Ridge.

The cowboy-biker who looks devastatingly good on a horse and a motorcycle.

Ex-con.

As a jobless twenty-three-year-old virgin, I have no business getting involved with a bad boy.

But between his hard-won smiles and protective streak, my heart-and my body-hunger for him.

We're in a chrysalis of paradise and Huckleberry Hill is starting to feel like home...

But then the truth about Brooks' MC past is revealed, and my world explodes.

And now I don't recognize the man I fell in love with.

I don't recognize my baby's father.

A deep look into the behaviors and habits of a formidable, dynamic leader, The General's Spy transports readers to the birth of the United States of America. Joining Samuel on his journey - both physical and psychological - as he evolves from a humble family man to a widely respected patriot and ultimately entrepreneur, it becomes clear that true leaders possess and demonstrate certain behaviors. From our nation's days as individual colonies to today's national and even international community, history has seen the rise, as well as the fall, of many leaders and so-called leaders. What we take from The General's Spy is a meaningful lesson in leadership - what it takes to lead people and entire organizations, and perhaps more importantly, to inspire ordinary individuals to achieve greatness. The protagonist faces what many of us would view as devastating obstacles; however, these roadblocks do not deter him, but rather drive him forward. It's as if the more complex the situation becomes, the more Samuel digs in his heels. His vision and sense of purpose is unparalleled. He inspires readers with his loyalty, his humility, his grit, and his devotion to the fight - a fight for independence. Interacting with a number of respected leaders - those in the military and in business - Samuel discovers his own propensity to lead. It is during his stages of self-discovery that we, as an audience, are roused and feel the impact of the guidance he receives. Turning the pages, we learn of Samuel's knack for tracking and scouting, as well as his great respect for Mother Nature, that he's learned from Native American friends. We are moved by Samuel's call to duty, as appalling incidents strike his family and neighbors. We are drawn to Colonel Stark, as he brings out in Samuel a new sense of self-awareness - a spark of guidance. Better yet, we take from The General's Spy lessons that resonate with our own lives today - lessons grounded in empathy and authenticity. Samuel's journey serves as an invaluable reminder that being a leader requires certain qualities, and for any person, group, business, or government to not only survive but to thrive, leaders must exist. They must exist, and they must step up to the plate. Finally, they must choose to lead from the front.

By 1993, Guns N' Roses had hit practically every benchmark possible for a rock n' roll band.

Their eight-year journey had included an explosive and game-changing debut record, a self-indulgent but even more successful double album release, a handful of raucous global tours, and various front-page controversies over their lyrics, band members' drug addictions, and lead singer Axl Rose's rattlesnake temper.

The most captivating part of the Guns N' Roses story was just beginning, however. A fifteen-year saga was about to unfold over the creation of the group's sixth studio album, Chinese Democracy-a perverse and jaw-dropping tale that would come to involve not only a small nation of diverse musical talent but also several figures from the world of professional sports, a multinational soft drink company, and the FBI. Cultural critics couldn't agree if the resulting work was unprecedented genius or criminally mediocre.

Magnum Opus: The Unbelievable 15-Year Saga of Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy recounts in engaging depth and detail the long and often ludicrous road to the last mythic rock 'n' roll album of the 20th Century. Of course, Chinese Democracy was not released until well into the 21st Century, and Magnum Opus assembles a thrilling narrative of the mishaps, detours, and near-death experiences that accompanied the long journey to its release. Combining outrageous facts and never-before-told stories from as many direct sources as possible, this is the definitive story of a famously troubled album that will allow rock 'n' roll die-hards to finally separate truth from fan lore and outright fabrications.

A missing friend.

A fractured memory.

A past that refuses to let go.

Mackenzie Douglas wakes in a hospital in Istanbul with no memory of the night her friend Copper disappeared. Months later, unable to shake the trauma of Copper's disappearance, she flees to southern Spain to lose herself in the Alhambra, the focus of her master's thesis.

But the Alhambra's legendary palaces hold secrets of their own. A seemingly harmless tisane, meant to quiet the nightmares that plague her sleep, instead draws Mackenzie into vivid dreams of a spirited Moorish princess navigating forbidden love, betrayal, and political upheaval in fifteenth-century Spain-a story that begins to intertwine with her own in ways she cannot explain.

As danger and intrigue close in around the princess, fragments of Mackenzie's lost night in Istanbul resurface, revealing that the threat she escaped has followed her to Spain.

Caught between two timelines, two destinies, and lives that may span centuries, Mackenzie realizes that to survive, she must face the darkest truth of all:

Some histories return not to haunt us-but to claim us.
