Ahead of Her Time: The Trailblazing Life and Literary Legacy of Ann Head

"Ann Head was a celebrated Southern author whose nuanced portrayals of women's lives captivated readers in the mid-20th century. Born in Beaufort, South Carolina, she drew deeply from her Lowcountry roots to craft compelling fiction that appeared in major national publications such as Redbook, Cosmopolitan, and Ladies' Home Journal. Her most famous work, Mr. and Mrs. Bo Jo Jones (1967), became a groundbreaking young adult novel and was adapted into a television movie. A woman ahead of her time, Ann Head tackled themes like teenage pregnancy, social class, and personal agency with empathy and authenticity. She also served as a mentor to the young Pat Conroy, encouraging his early writing and helping to shape his literary path. Nancy Thode's biography, Ahead of Her Time, illuminates Head's extraordinary life—a single mother, a determined writer, and a quiet feminist voice in an era of conformity. Her legacy endures through her work and the generations of writers she inspired. Appended to the biography are a never before published story and letters of Pat Conroy's as well as several examples of Ann Head's stories."

Tatae's Promise: You will live… You will tell

"Tatae's Promise: You will live… You will tell Internationally acclaimed. 13 Awards. 'Riveting, Inspiring Masterpiece... Nothing short of brilliant... I will never forget it.' Inspired by a never-before-told, true story of a young woman's escape from Auschwitz with her sister, Tatae's Promise is an extraordinary narrative of unimaginable courage, family, faith and enduring love. Experience Hinda's breathtaking life as it transforms from living in a happy home, to banishment to a ghetto, to prison, to the Auschwitz death camp, to escape, and then miraculously rebuilding her life. In 1940, Hinda was eighteen years old when an axe crashed through the front door of her home in Poland. Nazi soldiers swarmed inside, herded the family into an army truck and hauled them away for one reason: They were Jews. After thirty-two months of subsisting on a starvation diet, sleeping on a wooden floor in the Mlawa ghetto, Hinda was deported to Auschwitz. When incarcerated there for an additional two years, Hinda endured rabid hunger, slave labor, life threatening diseases, and barbarous brutalities while clinging to her father's promise: 'I know for certain that you will live, and you will tell.' These twelve words—a powerful presage written by her father, Tatae, in a letter to Hinda mere hours before the Gestapo murdered him—fueled her will to persevere. Incredibly, at the age of twenty-three, Hinda devised a daring plot to escape the exhaustively guarded gates of Auschwitz with her younger sister, Rachel. Hinda brilliantly executed the plan only to find the two of them running for their lives—from both Germans and Russians. Two subplots, featuring pivotal characters Wolf Yoskowitz and Dr. Walter Zeilhofen, intertwine with Hinda's life in surprising ways. Wolf, a young Jewish man, struggles to endure the horrors of Buchenwald concentration camp. Walter, a young German doctor, who risks his life, committing treason by secretly issuing curative medications to prisoners, reluctantly works at Auschwitz under the thumb of the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele, 'The Angel of Death.' According to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, there are less than two hundred documented, successful 'prisoner escapes' from Auschwitz-Birkenau. Most of them were men. Hinda and Rachel's victorious escape was truly remarkable."

AT LOGGERHEADS: Stunning debut novel! Sea turtles, murder mystery, politics, romance!

"Sea turtles. Murder. Politics. Romance. This stunning debut novel, often compared to Delia Owens's Where the Crawdads Sing and John Grisham's The Pelican Brief, takes place on a South Carolina barrier island, where murder brings together a sea turtle biologist and a local detective to unravel a mystery that might impact the race for the White House. In late May, loggerhead sea turtles should be nesting on Anders Isle and scientist Brooke Edens should feel more at home on the island where she grew up. But something is amiss. When a dead body surfaces along with other big crimes, Brooke finds herself entangled in a homicide investigation with detective Drew Young, her closest friend (and sometimes love interest). At the same time, a favorite candidate is emerging for the upcoming US presidential election, and he happens to be the father of Brooke's ex-fiancé. While Brooke's knowledge of sea turtles helps Drew discover and decipher evidence, the many revelations, betrayals, and secrets threaten not only the investigation but also Brooke's closest relationships and her beloved turtles. Will they be able to untangle the web of crimes and catch the killer before it's too late? Captivating, clever, and timely, At Loggerheads is a love letter to the barrier islands and coastal towns of the South Carolina Lowcountry, where the often-opposing forces of Mother Nature and human nature influence what people will do for money, for power, and for love."

Irvin D. Yalom: On Psychotherapy and the Human Condition

"Irvin Yalom is one of the best known, most widely read and Through his many books, which are accessible to ordinary readers as well as illuminating for psychotherapists, he has provided a guide for living in a perplexing world. A recent poll of American psychotherapists voted him to be one of the three most important living therapists, but the worldwide success of his books suggests that his prominence is international. Rather than positioning himself as a representative of one of the hundreds of 'schools' or approaches to psychotherapy. Yalom offers a message that goes to the heart of psychotherapy. Taking up the central existential concerns of human life, Yalom's work engages the problems of finding meaning in life and confronting death, concerns that had lain beyond the scope of psychiatry. Writing in a literary style that reviewers have compared to Freud, Yalom details what actually happens in the intimate human encounter that is psychotherapy. Yalom does not shrink from exposing his own thoughts and feelings about what occurs; he, too is a vulnerable and searching human being. He makes his thinking about his patients, and his efforts to treat them, transparent, exposing his doubts, reservations and struggles as well as his insights. He has written two textbook, two volumes of case history stories, three novels about therapy, a guide for therapists and one book of counsel for the masses confronting death. Across all of this work, he explores the limitless and complex possibilities of the healing inherent in genuine human connection and authentic awareness of the dilemmas of human existence. Irvin D. Yalom: On Psychotherapy and the Human Condition traces the genesis and evolution of his thinking and presents some of the seminal ideas of his writings."
