Saving face : a novel / by Shah, Mansi(Novelist),author.;
"Ami Shah is on the brink of life-changing success. Her skin-care empire, Amala, is set for a dream acquisition by a Fortune 500 company, and she has just been nominated for a ChangeMaker Award, the most revered entrepreneurial honor. There's just one problem: she's a complete and utter fraud. Twenty years ago, abandoned orphan Monica Joseph made a decision that forever changed the course of her life -- she stole her wealthy classmate's identity and moved abroad to build her life on someone else's name. For twenty years, she's managed to hide in plain sight ... until an ambitious fledgling journalist sets out to write the inaugural full-length profile on her. With her carefully constructed persona and life's work now in jeopardy, Monica is left with no other choice: to cover up her tracks once and for all, she must return to the scene of the crime -- and the one place she vowed never to revisit. Home."--

Saving Face A Novel [electronic resource] : by Shah, Mansi.aut; CloudLibrary;
People love a rags-to-riches story. But they hate an imposter who lies to get ahead . . . To all those who know her, Ami Shah is the epitome of glamour. She has unapologetically leveraged her privileged upbringing as the daughter of Indian aristocrats in Singapore to build her American skincare empire, Amala—a business that’s now set for a dream acquisition by a Fortune 500 company. There’s just one problem: she’s not the real Ami Shah.  Forty years earlier, a girl named Monica Joseph is abandoned at the Gate of Hope, a Singapore orphanage attached to a convent school. Given how she comes into the word, the most her academic prowess and etiquette earns her is a job as a maid for Ami, a schoolmate from the upper-class Shah family. Working a menial job with no other opportunities while Ami applies to university and then business school causes Monica to nurse a quiet rage at the unfairness of life. Until Monica steals not only Ami’s acceptance letter from the London Business School but also Ami’s identity and starts a whole new life on the other side of the world. And miraculously, she almost pulls it off. When “Ami” is nominated for a life-changing entrepreneurial award and the media wants to learn her origin story, Monica’s carefully constructed persona and life’s work are in jeopardy. Monica knows there is only one surefire way to cover her tracks. She must return to the scene of crime, the place she vowed never to revisit: home.

Facing suicide : understanding why people kill themselves and how we can stop them / by Barrat, James(Psychologist),author.;
"Suicide in America has become a public health crisis. Now this insightful book sheds much needed light on the many risk factors that combine to drive suicide forward so that we can try to identify and stop them. On average about 45,000 people in America die by suicide each year, a death toll higher than car accidents or homicides. For every person who dies there were are about 10 ten unsuccessful attempts. And every day some 15 million Americans endure suicidal ideatio n: persistent, agonizing thoughts about taking their lives. Profiling suicide survivors, their families, and experts in the field, Barrat begins to assemble a fuller portrait of suicide, examing such risk factors as genetics, means, mental health, and history. He specifically looks at the longterm affects of racial trauma, bullying, financial stress, and even reveals that the suicidal brain has a characteristic signature. Perhaps most important, Barrat finds that 100% of the people he interviews who attempted suicide are happy they got help and are alive today. Their message is one of hope and possibility. We may never be able to stop all suicide attempts, but with better understanding, we can stop many more"--
