National Magazine Award-winning author Moira Johnston tells the dramatic story of a "perfect" American family destroyed when a daughter's "flashbacks" of incestuous rape by her father turned to accusations and lawsuits - and of the explosive landmark trial in Napa Valley that gave a father, for the first time, the right to strike back legally at the therapists he believed had planted false memories of sexual abuse in his daughter's mind. Johnston sets the story of Gary, Stephanie, and Holly Ramona in the context of a broader concern over the destructive impact of uncorroborated memories of childhood sexual abuse, a controversy that has embroiled parents, adult children, and family therapists throughout the country and has stirred debate among feminists, psychologists, memory scientists, and lawyers.

An original analysis of the parallels between the arrested moment in photography and in the traumatized psyche.

Do you hear them? The witches that whisper in the woods. Do you see them? The birds that gather on the top of the church. Do you taste them? The fruit that lies in her womb. Do you smell them? The smoke tendrils that rise from smoldering ash. Can you touch them? The omens that make up your future. In this poetry collection, Trista Edwards weaves readers through elaborate images-some of terror, some of beauty-that transfix on the things that warn of an entire realm beyond physical sight. Through palm reading, incantations in the night, the blending of body with earth and the ethereal, Spectral Evidence serves as a medium through which one can be delivered, a roadmap to the other side, the guide that lays out connections between where the soul resides now and where the soul will one day make its home.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, THE WITCHES is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story-the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.
