Mary J: The Junior Headmaster's Daughter

The Junior Headmaster's Daughter

Stepping from the shadows of sexual assault on the journey to recovery

In 1949, soon after the arrival of communism, David Kidd's Chinese fiancée, the daughter of an ancient Mandarin family, telephoned to say that her father was dying and that they must marry immediately.
At first the couple were able to continue their privileged lifestyle, a remnant of an old and exquisite culture. But the new proletariat was rapidly suppressing the ancient traditions. Spies watched them from the roof, then confiscated their sets of mahjong; an aunt was sent on a mission to re-educate prostitutes; and the family's final magnificent party was invaded by the police. Eventually their entire way of life, and the thousand- year-old culture on which it was based, was destroyed by the totalitarian regime.

A haunting and delicately observed description of the last days of Mandarin culture before the revolution. This book is a testimony to a way of life, a culture, an aesthetic and a civilisation which has since completely disappeared.

Am Abgrund

Passion and Power is about the life and career of Harriet Newman Cohen, one of the nation's most celebrated divorce attorneys, as she navigated the male-dominated legal world from the 1970s to today. This sweeping narrative details Harriet's journey through three worlds: raising a family at a time when men held all the power, graduating from law school on the cusp of the "divorce revolution," and re-fighting old battles over women's rights in today's time of reaction of retrenchment. The frankness with which Harriet relates her own experience is matched by equally candid insights into how a legal system that often rewards bad behavior and irrational decision-making shapes the culture at large and impacts those trying to navigate their way towards a better life. Writing with candor and humor, Harriet describes her encounters with celebrities, mentors, notable judges, allies, and adversaries. She examines many cases but describes three in almost novelistic detail, all drawn from her own practice-including her pivotal role in the "Case of a Lifetime," the focus of the three-part documentary HBO series Nuclear Family (2021). Harriet is equally honest about the business side of the law-the financial cost and psychological burden these proceedings impose on families and the sometimes-heartbreaking collateral damage. Passion and Power illuminates both a singular life and the legal and social revolution that changed, in fundamental ways, the sexual, financial, and cultural norms governing the most intimate relations between men and women.

A Brief, Beautiful True Love Story

The Solo Honeymoon

A profound exploration of the art and magic of writing by New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende. In this deeply personal and insightful book, Isabel Allende delves into her creative process, reflecting on nearly half a century of writing that has captivated millions of readers worldwide. For Isabel, writing is more than a craft. It is an addiction, a means of preserving memory, and a way to make sense of life. She offers readers an intimate glimpse into her creative world, where stories take shape through intuition, discipline, and a deep connection to the human experience. It is also a glimpse into the life of a writer who views literature as a portal to understanding the chaos of life. Story Telling is not a prescriptive guide to writing. Rather, it is a conversation. In it, Isabel shares her triumphs, mistakes, and lessons learned from the challenges and joys of writing. She intertwines her own stories with invaluable wisdom for anyone pursuing the craft, making this book equally a memoir, a masterclass in the alchemy of storytelling, and a celebration of the enduring power of stories.

Enemies Within Us

Women in Authority and the Hidden Abuse of Power
Power is built on trust.
Teachers guide students.
Supervisors manage employees.
Correctional officers control prison environments.
Public officials hold authority over institutions and the people who depend on them.
But what happens when the person holding that power crosses the line?
In When Power Seduces, investigative author Wayne C. Robinson examines a series of real cases in which women in positions of authority formed inappropriate relationships with those under their supervision. From classrooms and correctional facilities to workplaces and public institutions, these stories reveal how authority, trust, and access can create opportunities for boundary violations that often go unnoticed-until a scandal erupts.
Drawing from court records, investigative reporting, and psychological research, this book explores a pattern rarely examined in depth: how power dynamics influence relationships when the authority figure is female and the subordinate is male.
Inside this investigation, readers will discover:
¿ Real cases involving teachers, correctional officers, and supervisors who crossed professional boundaries
¿ The psychological patterns that appear in many authority abuse cases
¿ How private communication and secrecy often allow relationships to develop unnoticed
¿ Why institutions sometimes fail to detect warning signs until misconduct becomes public
¿ How courts and disciplinary boards handle cases involving abuse of authority
The public reaction to these scandals often reveals a deeper social contradiction. In some cases, the young men involved initially describe the experience as flattering or exciting. In others, the long-term impact only becomes clear years later.
When Power Seduces does not rely on speculation or sensationalism. Instead, it investigates the intersection of power, psychology, and institutional responsibility to better understand how these situations develop-and why society often struggles to interpret them.
Provocative, thought-provoking, and grounded in documented cases, When Power Seduces challenges readers to examine the uncomfortable reality that abuse of authority can take many forms-and can emerge in places where trust is supposed to be strongest.

When Power Seduces

Hank Idsinga, whose grandfather was murdered in the Holocaust, became the country’s leading homicide detective; he shares his insights into tracking down murderers and serial killers over his colourful and decorated thirty-year career. From the age of ten, Hank Idsinga knew he wanted to become a homicide detective, when he learned that his grandfather had been murdered by the Nazis in the Second World War. He prepared to be a police officer his entire youth and soon found himself in ill-fitting suits training for the job. More than competent—smart, incisive, caring, respectful—Idsinga won over his fellow officers and his superiors. He was as capable of tracking down a getaway man as he was informing a mother that her son, lost to crime, would never return home. Idsinga found himself at the center of some of the most notable crimes in recent Toronto history, from the Jane Creba shooting on Boxing Day to shootouts on Yonge Street to helping track down some of the most vicious serial criminals the city has ever seen. But it was in homicide that Hank Idsinga would prove such a vital asset to the Toronto Police Services. Idsinga teamed up with his partners, including future chief of police Mark Saunders, on many murder calls—some one-offs, others more nefarious—taking in the scene with his excellent recall, finding the motive and the method faster and more insightfully than most. Idsinga and his team of seasoned detectives participated in taking down some of the worst Toronto has to offer, perhaps none more so than serial killer Bruce McArthur, who had terrorized the gay village for years. Idsinga became the public face for that investigation, and despite the criticism of the police force’s handling of the murders, Idsinga always appeared strong and compassionate in front of the media’s camera flashes. The High Road breathes life into the true detective genre, with raw, accessible and punchy prose, as honest and compelling as the homicide detective himself. His grandfather would have been proud.

Confessions of a Homicide Cop

The High Road

'A fascinating journey that illuminates, in often thought-provoking ways, the politics of violence in radical movements' Angela Davis The son of the FBI's most wanted woman tells the electrifying, heart-rending story of a childhood on the run - and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in America We all grapple with a past that defines us: culture, religion, a family story. But what happens when you inherit a revolution? Zayd Ayers Dohrn was born underground. His parents were fugitives after a decade fighting the US government; his mother co-founded a leftist radical group called the Weathermen, and replaced Angela Davis on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. All his life, Dohrn's parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle but, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn't entirely true. A masterpiece of personal and social history, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young offers a page-turning account of an infamous family and their life in hiding, as well as the political battles of the '60s and '70s. At its heart it asks big questions: how can a child survive when the place they feel safest - with their family - also puts them in danger? What does it mean to be a good revolutionary, and how should young people today try to change the world?

Gut wird's hier nicht mehr, aber besser

Die ergreifende Geschichte zweier Brüder - die literarischen Erinnerungen vom SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor John Niven 
 In seinem persönlichsten Buch erzählt John Niven zum ersten Mal über ein dunkles Kapitel in seiner Familie: Den jahrelangen Drogenkonsum und Selbstmord seines Bruders. Während sich John aus der schottischen Provinz herausarbeitet, in Bands spielt, einen gutdotierten Job bei einer angesagten Plattenfirma findet und erfolgreicher Romanautor wird, bricht Gary die Schule ab, verliert den Halt, wird drogenabhängig und begeht 2010 im Alter von zweiundvierzig Jahren Selbstmord. Fortan lebt John mit der quälenden Frage, warum er seinem Bruder nicht helfen konnte. John Niven zeichnet die Lebenswege von sich und seinem Bruder nach. Eine herzergreifende Spurensuche, eine Liebeserklärung an das Leben und einen Bruder, der diesem Leben nicht gewachsen war. Geschrieben voller Empathie und gleichzeitig im subversiv-humorvollen John-Niven-Sound, den seine Fans so lieben.

O Brother

'Utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists. Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman.
