A raw and honest look at life in America. Read it if you dare.
Toys
TOYSShe had it all. Except fulfilment.Modern womanhood has become a dazzling theatre of "empowerment." From filtered selfies and curated independence to sex positivity and boss-babe mantras - today's woman has never had more choices, more freedom, more applause. So why does it still feel... hollow?TOYS is a fearless, soul-piercing exploration of the hidden costs behind modern femininity's glow-up. With razor-sharp insight, Ori Rere exposes the quiet crisis beneath the loud affirmations - a world where intimacy is dying, identity is outsourced, and fulfilment is traded for dopamine hits.This is not a book about hating men or glorifying the past. It's about asking the questions we've been trained to avoid: Has "choice feminism" become a disguise for deep emotional emptiness?What happens when pleasure becomes performance?Are modern women empowered... or quietly exhausted?With chapters like "Sexless but Not Sacred," "The Age of Accidental Abstinence," and "The Myth of Having It All,"TOYS is both a cultural autopsy and a spiritual wake-up call. Poetic, Provocative, and Painfully true.Read it if you dare. Share it if you care. This is the book they hoped we'd never write.Sincerely Ori Rere (MDotBravo) Yoruba Ronu Publishing

Wisdom
Marriage is not a child's play. Our society is founded on homes. The problems we face today in our societies could be averted if only our homes are sane and godly. God did not intend marriage for procreation alone. He expects more than that. Until we arise to the task and ensure we put things in proper perspective about marriage, God's purpose for our lives would be defeated. Many writers have written about different topics on marriage particularly how to make it work. But the greatest challenge we have is that only few are those that deliver on preparing young people for what to meet in marriage. Most of the marriage counseling sessions of our days only teach young people about how to conduct themselves during courtship not mentioning what to expect in marriage. This is the reason why a lot of marriages fail. Some will tell you how pure they were in courtship yet marriage is not working. This piece is dedicated to prepare young people for marriage, resolve conflicts among married couples and serve as a viable manual for every marriage counselor or pastor. I pray that as you embark on reading it, may the light from above shine into your inner man and make your marriage work in Jesus name. Read and be blessed!

Provoked
Now a major motion picture starring Aishwarya Rai as Kiranjit, Nandita Das, Naveen Andrews, Miranda Richardson, Robbie Coltrane and a host of other stars. Born into a privileged family in India, Kiranjit Ahluwalia came to England in 1979 to be married to a man she hardly knew. The next ten years were to be a nightmare of almost daily, physical, mental and sexual violence at the hands of her husband. There was no one she could turn to for help and support. Domestic violence was a taboo subject for many Asians In Britain, and family honour - izzat - was at stake for anyone who went outside the family for help. Kiranjit, in desperation, killed the man who had tortured her for so long. Bewildered, poorly advised and speaking little English, she was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. In prison, she unexpectedly found a degree of freedom she had never known in the outside world. For the first time she was safe from beatings and abuse, and was able to enjoy the friendship and solidarity of other women who were in a similar situation. Meanwhile, a campaign organised by Southall Black Sisters, a women's group operating on a shoestring budget to draw attention to her plight was gathering momentum. Media coverage of her plight had made Kiranjit something of a cause celebre", and she attracted many prominent supporters, including Diana, Princess of Wales who urged her to write this book. She was released amid scenes of rejoicing in September 1992 when her conviction for murder was reduced to manslaughter on appeal. Regina v Ahluwalia has become legal history because it was a landmark ruling that paved the way for other women in Kiranjit's situation to win justice."
Understanding Marital Violence
This book examines the roles and interconnections between structural factors and individual agency in marital violence, focusing on women in heterosexual marital relationships. With the overall aim of improving recognition and strengthening responses to marital violence, it underlines what occurs as marital violence and why it is possibly occurring in the manner it does, while simultaneously demonstrating how it is dealt with and resisted.Based upon in-depth qualitative data focussing upon the experiences of women facing marital violence and key informants from Assam in Northeast India, this book sheds light upon four key areas. To begin with, what is named or recognised (and not recognised) as marital violence is assessed and a typology (and associated denials) informed by the capabilities approach is developed. Further, the re-victimisation that happens through and within both civil and criminal justice is explored. In addition to this, the existing structural context highlighting changes that occur at a broader economic, political, and social level, contextualising a society that is in transition, has been emphasised. To conclude, conditioned by distinct material-cultural constraints-enablers and acknowledging the role played by emotions, a temporal agential trajectory in response to marital violence is mapped, specifically through the concepts of Habitus and Reflexivity. In short, this book attempts to decolonise certain aspects of academic knowledge around marital violence by asserting the need to consider distinct natures and forms of violence and violations that occur within marriages and the acknowledgement of a spectrum of actions in the agential trajectory so that victims-survivors are not solely assessed by their decisions to stay or to leave an abusive marriage.It will be of interest to scholars, students, professionals, and policymakers working within social work, social policy, gender studies, and violence prevention.

Why am I Involved with a Jerk ... AGAIN?
If you have been in a committed relationship for a while -- or if you have been sitting by the phone for years -- this isn't for you. However, if you are now involved with a jerk and you're asking yourself "Why am I involved with a jerk ... again?" then this book is for you. The genesis of this book arose from two sources. The first was my experience as a moderator, in the 1980s, for an online discussions forum dealing with human sexuality and dating. The second impetus for this book was an article from Ms. Magazine to which I had been a subscriber for many years. This was a front cover article about six women in abusive relationships. The article focused on the qualities that made the relationships abusive. I believe that the intent was to show women how to recognize that they were in an abusive relationship. While this was, and is, a worthy objective, I felt that something else would have been more useful. These women were strong, intelligent, successful, talented, and attractive - able to pick between many different men (at that time, only heterosexual relationships were considered). Yet they chose these men. Why? A single relationship doesn't really indicate anything. We can all be "fooled". Perhaps we can also be fooled in different ways at different times. However, as the saying goes: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". This book is for those people who find themselves involved with a jerk ... AGAIN.

You know Who An Alienated Daughter's Memoir
Even when parents divorce, their children are allowed to keep loving both of them.At least that is how it should be. But shortly after Dana's parents split up, her whole maternal family is cast out of her life. Traumatized but afraid to upset her father, Dana obediently goes along with this plan of erasing the past. Over time, her mother becomes a fading memory, an outline in her imagination, etched in colors. Red hair, white skin, the same blue eyes as Dana's. Unable to voice her yearning to have her mother back, or even to ask questions about her, Dana holds on to proof of her mother's existence wherever she can find it. In this harrowing memoir, Dana makes her way through her lonely childhood and teenage years, and through her father's second marriage with the woman she is told to call mother. Dana tries to fill the emptiness left by her mother's absence, but she eventually learns that she must harness the courage to face the truth, whether or not that leads her back to her mother.

No Visible Scars
One in four Christian women will experience domestic abuse, and for these women their experience can be incredibly challenging to their faith. Survivors report that they do not feel their churches are adequately equipped to support them, but that secular domestic abuse services do not understand their faith.In No Visible Scars, author Sally Hope draws on her ten years of work supporting survivors and her own experiences of abuse, to help women undertake their own journey of healing.The book explores domestic abuse and the unique challenges that Christian women face. Through research, personal stories and opportunities to journal, No Visible Scars seeks to help survivors find answers to commonly asked questions such as 'Where is God in all this?' and face the thorny theological concepts of divorce, submission and gender roles. Survivors will be helped to recognise that God is firmly on the side of the abused, He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.No Visible Scars is based on the 'Always Hopeful' recovery programme for groups of Christian women who have experienced domestic abuse. Many survivors find attending a recovery group intimidating and would prefer to read a book in their own time; others don't have access to the programme. Through this book, survivors can learn more about their experiences and unpick some of the faith lies they may have acquired as a result.
