How to menopause : take charge of your health, reclaim your life, and feel even better than before / by Fadal, Tamsen,author.;
"Menopause needs a rebrand. Like it or not, women are finding themselves in the middle of a global transition: by 2025, 1.1 billion women will be in menopause. There's been nothing like it since the women's movement caught fire in the late 60s and early 70s, and the call for change is coming from women themselves. In 2021, journalist Tamsen Fadal took off her makeup and revealed her menopause struggles on TikTok. Since then, her #GRWM authenticity has garnered over three million engaged followers across platforms who reach out to her daily, eager for encouragement and advice on how to make their lives better, while navigating the misinformation and lack of education in the medical system. This book, Tamsen says, is for them. With over 50 interviews with experts across the menopause space, this book prepares readers for menopause-mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and helps them navigate the path to empowerment in the process. HOW TO MENOPAUSE is for the whole woman who just so happens to be dealing with menopause. Until women understand what's happening to our bodies, we won't feel like ourselves. Fadal offers well-researched, clear advice on handling all of your symptoms-physical and emotional-alongside prescriptions for actionable, achievable goals that enables us to reinvent ourselves in midlife-to get stronger, sexier, bolder, and more centered. She teaches readers how to advocate for themselves, to take control of their bodies, face their fears, learn what to let go of and what to hold onto fiercely"--

It didn't start with you : how inherited family trauma shapes who we are and how to end the cycle / by Wolynn, Mark,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, by a renowned expert in the field. Inherited family trauma is currently an area of growing interest, as science increasingly explores what we know intuitively: that the effects of trauma can pass from one generation to the next, and that the answers to some of our greatest life problems often lie not within our own story, but in the experiences of our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and extended family. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on in those in the present. And while inherited physical traits are easily discernible, this emotional legacy is often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language"--Provided by publisher.

Last to leave the room : a novel / by Starling, Caitlin,author.;
"The city of San Siroco is sinking. The basement of Dr. Tamsin Rivers, the arrogant, selfish head of the research team assigned to find the source of the subsidence, is sinking faster. As Tamsin grows obsessed with the distorting dimensions of the room at the bottom of the stairs, she finds a door that didn't exist before - and one night, it opens to reveal an exact physical copy of her. This doppelgänger is sweet and biddable where Tamsin is calculating and cruel. It appears fully, terribly human, passing every test Tamsin can devise. But the longer the double exists, the more Tamsin begins to forget pieces of her life, to lose track of time, to grow terrified of the outside world. As her employer grows increasingly suspicious, Tamsin must try to hold herself together long enough to figure out what her double wants from her, and just where the mysterious door leads."--

Christa comes out of her shell / by Waxman, Abbi,author.;
"After a tumultuous childhood, Christa Liddle has hidden away, both figuratively and literally. Happily studying sea snails in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Christa finds her tranquil existence thrown into chaos when her once-famous father--long thought dead after a plane crash--turns out to be alive, well, and ready to make amends. The world goes wild, fascinated by this real-life saga, pinning Christa and her family under the spotlight. As if that weren't enough, her reunion with an old childhood friend reveals an intense physical attraction neither was expecting and both want to act on ... if they can just keep a lid on it. When her father's story starts to develop cracks, Christa fears she will lose herself, her potential relationship, and--most importantly--any chance of making it back to her snails before they forget her completely."--
