At three, she threw a party in the engine oil of her father’s car. At ten, a helicopter fell from the sky and she gave her life to Christ. At fourteen, she spoke to a dead tree and watched it turn green. At sixteen, she stood on a lakeshore in Tanzania and watched her father come back to life. At twenty, she started a publishing house with no money and a line she’d once scribbled in a self-help book.
Naomi Nyakinyua has lived lifetimes in twenty-five years.
44 Moments, 25 Years is a memoir told the way the best stories are told in Kenyan living rooms; with laughter, faith, Sheng and Swahili, and the kind of honesty that costs something. Nyakinyua hands you her life bank one moment at a time.
This is not a book about arriving. It is a book about becoming-about a girl who blended the world of decorum and the world of casualness, who learned that small small makes big big, and who decided, against every reason to stay quiet, to cast her story onto paper.
Because your mess is your message. And hers is only just beginning.

Islam and the Future of Tolerance A Dialogue by Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz
Brief Summary
In this deeply informed and absorbing exchange, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz present an antidote to the polarizing rhetoric and obscurantism that have become defining features of our time: honest dialogue. A renowned critic of religion, Harris finds the doctrines of Islam dangerous and irredeemable.
No, the Muslim anti-extremist Nawaz argues, Islam is amenable to reform and can find its place in a secular world. Rather than devolve into bigotry or caricature, their exchange presents an inspiring example of courteous attention, sharp-edged wisdom, and finally hope.
A former member of the Islamist revolutionary group Hizb ut-Tahrir, author of Radical, and cofounder of the anti-extremist think tank Quilliam, Nawaz speaks with unique authority about the possibility of Islamic reform. Since the 2004 publication of The End of Faith, Harris has critiqued religion and asserted that reason and science are the true guardians of our deepest human values. Islam and the Future of Tolerance is an exemplar of how the fog can lift when hyperbole and posturing are put aside in pursuit of understanding.
Guided by a mutual commitment to the belief that no idea is above scrutiny and no people beneath dignity, Harris and Nawaz challenge each other, and consequently their readers, to defend incompatible positions, define and explore their facts, and discover common ground. Published with the explicit hope to inspire many more such conversations, this dialogue extends an invitation to a world riven by violence to take up the task of engagement.

Dictator
Imperium...Conspirata...and now, the long-awaited final volume of the author's best-selling Cicero trilogy.With Dictator, Robert Harris brings the saga of Cicero's life to a time when some of the most epic events in human history occurred: the collapse of the Roman republic, the subsequent civil war, the murder of Pompey and the assassination of Julius Caesar.
Yet the question it asks is a timeless one: how is political freedom to be safeguarded against the triple threat of unscrupulous personal ambition, of an electoral system dominated by vested financial interests, and of the corrupting impact of waging ceaseless foreign wars?
And in the very human figure of Cicero--brilliant, flawed, frequently fearful, and yet ultimately brave--Harris gives us a hero for both his own time, and for ours.

Stuff I’d Tell My Sister: On Sisterhood, Surgery and Breast Cancer by Dr. Miriam Mutebi
What if everything women were taught about their bodies was incomplete, or dangerously wrong?
In Stuff I’d Tell My Sister, Dr. Miriam Mutebi, the first female breast surgeon in Kenya, breaks the silence surrounding breast cancer, women’s bodies, and the systems that too often fail them. With extraordinary clarity and compassion, she takes readers from her childhood in Nairobi to the operating rooms where she confronts not only cancer, but silence, shame, and systems that fail women. She introduces us to young mothers diagnosed while breastfeeding, brides whose futures fracture overnight, grandmothers who have never been taught to touch their own bodies, and surgeons who must fight to be seen in spaces never designed for them.
This book is a radical act of sisterhood. Dr. Mutebi speaks directly to women, as a doctor, as an African woman, and as a sister who refuses to let fear or myth decide who lives and who dies. She dismantles dangerous misconceptions about breast cancer, challenges cultural taboos surrounding women’s bodies, and equips readers with practical knowledge about breast health, self-examination, and self-advocacy.
Part memoir, part medical guide, and part call to action, this book is a life-saving conversation African women have been denied for far too long. Written with surgical precision and deep moral courage, this book will change how you understand cancer, how you understand women’s bodies, and how you choose to listen to your own.
