You're Bad Ass, Grandma! Bold living doesn't have an expiration date. And you don't need to ride a Harley or jump out of airplanes (though you could). Being Bad Ass in your later years means deciding what matters now—and having the nerve to go after it. Meet women who swim in cold oceans. Volunteer. Forgive ex-husbands (more than once). Care for dying spouses with fierce tenderness. Start over in their 50s and later, if they want.

When a woman decides to choose herself, everything changes. In Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom, author and activist Deborah Santana shares a deeply moving memoir about awakening, resilience, and reclaiming a life of purpose after decades of living in the shadows. Born to pioneering interracial couple Jo Frances and Saunders King, a popular jazz musician, she learned the strength of family. Deborah married legendary musician Carlos Santana, supporting his career and raising their three children, eventually carrying expectations and roles that diminished her power.

What do you do when the pastor you married becomes the person you need protection from? At 4 AM, Dr. Bridget Trammell fled with a newborn, a toddler, and just $97. Raised in a strict religious environment where obedience was expected and appearances mattered more than truth, she learned how to survive. But survival came at a cost, unraveling into spiritual abuse, domestic violence, partner addiction, and coercive control. In Trigger Warning, Bridget blends raw, lived experience with clinical insight to reveal how trauma reshapes the brain, the body, and identity.

Domestic abuse does not always begin with violence. Sometimes it begins with attention, promises, and a love so intense that you do not notice your world becoming smaller. Wild to Wonderful is the true story of K Judd, a woman who survived coercive control, violence and the night she believed she would be killed. She was only twenty when the relationship began. Before long, fear had entered every part of her life, and the person hurting her had become the person she believed she could not live without. But leaving was not the end.

"Jimmy treated Duncroft like a paedophile sweet shop,” said survivor Toni Townsend. “He used to take his pick of the mix.” As Jimmy Savile parked his Rolls Royce outside of the big old stately home that was Duncroft Approved School, the teenage girls flocked to the door to welcome the celebrity. Given his own bedroom and free reign of the premises, Savile would enter the girls bedrooms while they were undressing, and manipulate them into further assaults in his luxury vehicle. A police investigation confirmed that 22 Duncroft girls were assaulted.

Über Nacht wurde aus ihrem fürsorglichen, zuverlässigen Partner ein Mensch, den sie kaum wiedererkannte.

I thought I was too smart to fall for a lie. Painful events had blinded me and left me vulnerable. The lie hid so close to the truth my desperate heart barely perceived the danger that loomed up ahead. I ignored every warning. It seemed so perfect and wholesome. It seemed like the perfect place to raise kids. There would be no more betrayal and heartbreak because these relationships would withstand any storms. That’s what was promised. This was the fulfillment of all my searching. It promised to end my quest for “more of God.” But thirty years of longing ended in more despair.

The Darkness My Father Brought: A Memoir of Silence, Betrayal and Reclaiming Joy traces one woman’s journey from a life of childhood sexual trauma to a life restored. She did this by being brave enough to remember the pain of her past and then reshaping that into a new life of hope and joy. For years, Cathy Beck kept “those kinds of things—the things you don’t talk about”—buried beneath the façade of a “normal” childhood. Raised in what appeared to be a happy family in the 1950s and ’60s, Cathy lived with secrets and a fear no child should have to carry. But secrets do not disappear.

At thirty-two, she confirmed the unthinkable: she is the biological daughter of another, entirely unknown family. Her search unfolds like a page-turning mystery, leading to an astonishing discovery—her biological grandfather was a U.S. diplomat and author, photographed in the Oval Office with President Kennedy, greeting Charles Lindbergh on the tarmac, and meeting with Rosa Parks and international leaders.

Sam Plavins sat in a Toronto convention centre, surrounded by thousands of the most successful financial advisors in the world, pretending to be one of them. She had the title. The clients. The gold business cards. She had built exactly the life her father had envisioned for her. And she couldn't feel a thing. The math in her life didn’t make sense. The two kids plus the hot husband, even the semi-stoned sheepdog. Why wasn’t the formula adding up?

When cancer stole Mandy’s brilliant 24-year-old son Tomson, she thought her heart would never beat properly again. She was wrong. Tomson came straight back–cheeky as ever–balancing teabags on mug rims, rearranging road signs to spell “LA BOO HERE” for his dad, tugging her hair at 3 a. m., and hijacking fat-freezing machines mid-treatment. He’s levitated a salt funnel, moved a sculpture, photobombed Brazilian water-vapor experiments, sent heart-shaped bruises popping up on total strangers, and even booked his own medium appointments from the other side.
