Publisher's Summary:

'J'ai un mal qui me ronge, l'endométriose'. « En février 2017, au cours d'un prime de Touche pas à mon poste !, un internaute m'a posé une question très personnelle, intime, à laquelle j'ai décidé de répondre. Dire la vérité était une évidence, et j'en étais là de l'existence : arrêter de me cacher, de m'anesthésier, de fuir. Assumer mon désir plus fort que tout d'avoir un enfant et me dresser pour vivre avec mes bleus, mes bosses, mes peurs. Mon cri venait du ventre. En parlant de mon endométriose, la maladie avec laquelle je cohabite depuis dix ans, j'ai rompu la loi du silence. » À l'aube de la quarantaine, Enora Malagré jette un regard franc sur son parcours et lance un cri d'espoir pour toutes les femmes, les mères et celles qui ne le sont pas.

Release date: November 21, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

Das ist der erschütternde Bericht einer Frau, die als Jugendliche jahrelang vom eigenen Vater sexuell missbraucht und unter Drohungen zum Schweigen gebracht wurde. Für das gläubige Mädchen war diese Zeit das Fegefeuer auf Erden und selbst die Flucht aus dem Elternhaus konnte sie daraus nicht befreien. Die Dämonen des Missbrauchs verfolgten und beherrschten sie weiter in zwei unglücklichen Ehen. Ihre neurotischen Störungen, Panikattacken und ihr grenzenloser Hass trieben sie eines Tages an den Rand des Abgrunds. Als sie nur mehr Selbstmord als Ausweg sah, erkannte sie, dass sie es ihren Kindern schuldig war, weiterzuleben, weiterzukämpfen. Am tiefsten Punkt ihres Lebens angekommen, nahm sie daher den Kampf um ihre seelische Gesundung aktiv in die Hand. Brenda Leb schaffe das schier Unmögliche, bekämpfte verzweifelt die Dämonen, wandelte negative Energie in positive und tauchte ein in das warme Licht des Glücks. Wie neugeboren erkannte sie, dass Leid getarntes Glück sein kann. Daher wurde sie gerade wegen ihres Leidensweges stark, tolerant und glücklich. Stark wird man durch die Liebe - stärker noch durch das Leid

Title: Dare

Author: Diane Demetre

Narrator: Diane Demetre

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 11 minutes

Release date: November 2, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

Long before the global #metoo movement, Diane Demetre was dramatically sacked by her producer for apparently being 'too fat' after she refused his sexual advances. She took him to court, and the ensuing court cases for wrongful dismissal became some of the highest-profile cases in Australia in the 1980s. Dare is a no-holds-barred account of Diane's rise from being born an illegitimate child given up for adoption to fulfilling her dream in the entertainment industry and directing the largest production shows staged in Australia. But when she was terminated, there were no laws to protect her. Now, Diane reveals the unimaginable public humiliation and heartbreak of losing herself, her career, and her destiny. Follow Diane's thirty-year quest for truth as she discovers that our lives aren't random events over which we have little influence. Calling on her background as an educator, speaker, and successful entrepreneur, Diane uses touchstones in her life to outline fifty insights that expanded her consciousness, connected her to being, and transformed her life. Join this journey within, Dare to master your destiny, and be more than you ever imagined. Demetre is a strong, determined, successful woman who has self-actualized more than most. This is evident in this engaging memoir. She is clearly a passionate and experienced writer, her prose sophisticated, her narrative moving. Her spiritual experiences are compelling, unique, and very readable making this book a strong, fascinating addition to the memoir/spiritual journey genre. -Book Life Review Diane Demetre is a fiercely vibrant, brilliant, dynamic, and professional leader who has laid her life bare in DARE. Much more than a memoir, DARE is a handbook on life and one that should sit on the self-help shelves of reader's library (sic). Not only is DARE required reading for every woman, it awakened something in me which has made a lasting impact on my life.

Title: A Handful of Raisins in an Otherwise Empty Room: A Journey From Tragedy to Joy

Author: Michele Misino De Luca

Narrator: Michele Misino De Luca

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 35 minutes

Release date: November 1, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

A Handful of Raisins is a heart-stirring memoir about survival, strength and courage. For Michèle Misino de Luca, life began as a series of dark, traumatic episodes and continued as deeply challenging events beset her incessantly throughout her youth. Yet somehow, she rises to value life, viewing it as a miracle. She was five years old when she first felt completely on her own, and although food, clothing and a warm bed were provided, it seemed her survival was not ensured. Every night, when she was handed those raisins, there was a moment of intimacy in her soul. She ate those raisins ever so slowly, savoring not just their sweetness, but the sweetness of a few moments when everything was alright. Imagine being a child seemingly dropped into a dark hole. Nothing around you but strangers. Nothing familiar. Throughout this memoir, readers will gain a true understanding of loneliness and despair, while receiving the gratifying reminder that you do not have to succumb and be formed by your painful experiences. You can become who you say you are, and who you say you are can be based on what you value most. Our author declares herself fully alive and becomes so alive with dignity, wonder and joy. In her groundbreaking and raw story, Michèle Misino de Luca had the tenacity not only to survive, but to thrive. Unwilling to surrender to victimhood, she had to change. She had to find joy. It certainly was not easy, but in a world by herself, she created her own silver lining. This is a memoir about celebrating the fullness of life, written by a truly extraordinary person. This is a story about seeking and accepting the handful of raisins in an otherwise empty room.

Title: Big Love

Author: Brooke Blurton

Narrator: Brooke Blurton

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 21 minutes

Release date: October 20, 2022

Genres: Women

Publisher's Summary:

A raw, moving and uplifting memoir about courage, resilience and the transformative power of love, from one of Australia's most captivating personalities 'Powerful, heartbreaking and beautiful ... a story of incredible triumph fuelled by love and compassion' Osher Gunsberg 'Brooke Blurton is an icon for people of all generations and backgrounds. I love seeing her star shine.' Clementine Ford My story is about the one thing that I never went without. Love. Big love, that filled me up and made me feel like there was a future for me. The kind of love that's unconditional, and that lasts across time and space ... From the moment Brooke Blurton appeared on Australian television, she dazzled audiences with her authenticity, self-knowledge, generosity and honesty. As a proud young Noongar-Yamatji woman, Brooke's connection to her culture and country is deep, and as an openly queer woman, she knows that love is simply love. Most of all Brooke knows the importance of family, and the uplifting power of unconditional connection. But behind the public persona Brooke presents to the world is a story of epic proportions and awe-inspiring resilience - she had to grow up fast from a very young age, surviving an extremely challenging childhood and youth, and overcoming the shocking legacy of intergenerational trauma, abuse and homelessness. She's also had to defy labels and perceptions about who she is, and her worth, all her life. But through it all, Brooke didn't just survive, she found her voice and thrived, and in this raw, heartbreaking, often funny and ultimately life-affirming memoir, Brooke lays her journey bare about how she refused to allow the past to define her and reclaimed her own identity - and realised the power of love, for herself, for her family, and her community.
