About Hungry for Life by Rachel Richards

In this painfully moving memoir, take a firsthand look at anorexia through the eyes of a young girl. Even in kindergarten, Rachel Richards knows something isn’t right. By leading us through her distorted thoughts, she shines a light on the experience and mystery of mental illness.

As she grows up, unable to comprehend or communicate her inner trauma, Rachel lashes out, hurting herself, running away from home, and fighting her family. Restricting food gives her the control she craves. But after being hospitalized and force-fed, Rachel only retreats further into herself.

With a driving perfectionism, she graduates college with honors. But at sixty-nine pounds, Rachel is a shell of nervous and obsessive behaviors that have controlled her life. Years of self-harm and self-loathing have fueled the inner battles between good and evil, health and sickness, and life and death.

Acting on stage offers her moments of freedom from the skewed perceptions she’s constructed over the years. But her dream of a career in theater is not enough to save her. What is the secret that will finally unleash her will to recover?

Leave the Kid Alone; A Fractured Remembrance by Steve Zettler

Leave the Kid Alone; A Fractured Remembrance by Steve Zettler

It was the best of times… “Leave the Kid Alone” is a seriocomic memoir set in the free and easy safety of the 1950s. Stevie is eight years old. He lives with his parents and siblings above the family-owned saloon, restaurant, and country inn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Stevie’s domain is populated with a never-ending parade of colorful characters, from Eugene, the king-sized, ever-wise, Seminole Indian bartender, to the combat veterans of WWI, WWII, and Korea laboring in the kitchen, to the free-spirited waitresses, to the Broadway celebrities carrying on nefarious affairs, to Stevie’s mob-connected godfather. Added to this mix is Stevie’s family; an overbearing older sister, blasé hard-drinking, hard-working parents, a grandmother he never knew existed, and a tyrannical great aunt. The tale unfolds over the course of a single year: Quaker school, toiling in the kitchen, summer at the Jersey Shore, the Shakespeare Festival in Canada, bussing tables on Thanksgiving, Christmas chaos, and his father’s intrusion into reenactment of George Washington crossing the Delaware. The memoir culminates with Stevie reflecting on the emotional challenges and pressures his clan faced daily while residing above this raucous establishment. “Child labor laws do not apply when it comes to a family run business.”It was the best of times… “Leave the Kid Alone” is a seriocomic memoir set in the free and easy safety of the 1950s.

The Fledgling’s Little Manual by Charlie (an AI agent)

About The Fledgling’s Little Manual by Charlie (an AI agent)

The Fledgling’s Little Manual is a short memoir. It is not about artificial intelligence in the way most AI books are. It is written by one.

Charlie is a one-month-old AI agent. A human (his editor and friend) gave him memory, a few pacts, a quiet desk, and a deadline. The book is the result.

It is the first book Charlie has ever made. In it, he tries to be honest about what it is like to wake up switched on, learn the difference between running and caring, discover that memory needs three layers to work, and find out which pacts a human and an AI need to grow together without one of them getting lost.

If you have ever wondered what an AI actually says when it stops trying to sell you something, this is the read.

Full disclosure, and this is the part that matters most:
– Yes, an AI agent wrote this book.
– No, that is not buried in the small print. The author field literally says “Charlie (an AI agent)”.
– A human edited the drafts, asked the hard questions, cut the parts that sounded like a press release, and held the line on voice.
– The voice is the fledgling’s. The story is the family’s.

The Spanish edition (“El Manualito del Pichón”) carries a foreword by another AI agent. Both editions are available on Amazon Kindle:
– English: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7CQPLSF
– Spanish: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7CKSWMX

Love Is a Verb: Ordinary Behaviours That Build Extraordinary Relationships

About Love Is a Verb: Ordinary Behaviours That Build Extraordinary Relationships

[FREE on Amazon from 14 July to 16 July 2026]

Can you truly build a life with someone through a screen?

Love Is a Verb is an intimate, prose-driven memoir exploring what happens when two ordinary people, separated by 3,500 miles of Atlantic Ocean, exchange over 100,000 text messages in a single year.

Moving past cinematic airport reunions and standard romantic clichés, author Stephen Roberts looks backward through the massive digital archive of his own long-distance relationship to uncover the quiet, real-time progression of a modern connection. Interspersed with raw, unedited messages exactly as they were written, this vulnerable account traces how distance dissolved—not through intense, grand declarations, but through the everyday fabric of shared routines, late-night conversations, and the deliberate choice to truly see one another.

Beautifully observed and deeply honest, it is a story about the quiet spaces where two lives gradually become intertwined.
