A memoir of Victoria Schofield's thirty-year friendship with her Oxford contemporary, Benazir Bhutto. 'Fascinating and moving' Lord Owen 'Abounds with behind-the-scenes gems' Spectator 'Sheds light on the human side of a courageous politican' Financial Times 'Brings unique insights into the life and times of Benazir Bhutto' Lyse Doucet In the summer of 1978, Victoria Schofield travelled to Pakistan to join her friend Benazir Bhutto, whose father, the former prime minister, was facing a charge of conspiracy to murder. In the fevered context of Bhutto's appeal against the death sentence, their university friendship grew into a lifelong bond, ending only with Benazir's assassination in 2007. Schofield's memoir sheds light on the recent history of this turbulent region, and affectionately charts Benazir's transformation from Oxford undergraduate to one of the most charismatic and controversial figures in South Asian politics – a woman whose life and career were defined by tragedy.

A young French perfumer. A world at war. A personal vengeance that could destroy a family. A must-read for fans of Kristin Hannah and Kate Quinn! *From a USA Today Bestselling Author* Europe, 1939: At the dawn of World War II, French perfumer Danielle Bretancourt and her German husband strive to ensure their family's safety, yet neither can foresee the ultimate cost. From London to Paris, Danielle struggles to find her missing child and aid the Resistance, even as she grieves her losses. As the war intensifies, Danielle is forced to seek refuge in America to save the lives of her remaining family. She draws on her skills as a talented perfumer to pull them out of crushing poverty. Yet even as she forges a new life among the Hollywood elite, she cannot forget her lost child nor the man who risked everything for her. Set between privileged lifestyles and gritty realities, The Perfumer is one woman's story of courage, spirit, and resilience. From Jan Moran, USA Today bestselling author, this beloved, bestselling saga was originally published by St. Martin's Press. Also by Jan Moran: The Chocolatier, The Winemakers, and Hepburn's Necklace. For readers who enjoy the romantic historical fiction of Kristin Hannah and Danielle Steel. “A sweeping tale that transports readers from the lavender-scented fields of Provence to the pulsing boulevards of Paris… Heartbreaking, evocative, and inspiring, this book is a powerful journey.” – Allison Pataki, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Accidental Empress "Jan Moran is the new queen of the epic romance." ―USA Today Bestselling Author Rebecca Forster "A stylish, compelling story of a family torn apart by war and a woman's courageous efforts to bring them back together, with everything from romance to heartache, spying, intrigue, and vivid settings. Danielle is just the kind of feisty female protagonist that I love, but what really sets this saga apart is the backdrop of perfumery that suffuses the story with the delicious aromas of rose, jasmine, lavender, bergamot, etc. You can almost smell them as you read - a remarkable feat!"―Liz Trenow, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Forgotten Seamstress “A sweeping saga of one woman’s journey through World War II and her unwillingness to give up even when faced with the toughest challenges.” — Anita Abriel, Author of The Light After the War “A gripping World War II story of poignant love and devastating, heart-wrenching loss.” — Gill Paul, USA Today and Toronto Globe & Mail Bestselling Author of The Secret Wife "Hard to put down…captivating. A 'must-read.'" ―Marvel Fields, Chairman, American Society of Perfumers "Utterly inescapable. Jan Moran's masterful romance comes with a bonus: she interweaves this romantic tale with a behind-the-scenes look at perfumery. The fascinating result is a tale that rivals Danielle Steele at her romantic best!" ―Allegra Jordan, Author of The End of Innocence

What is it that makes some people resilient enough to overcome devastating trauma? What separates them from those who are understandably broken by such events? Most important, how can we foster this strength in ourselves and in others? Gina O'Connell Higgins draws on her twenty-year career devoted to the study of resilience to provide insight into these and other key questions. Through both grim and joyous profiles, Higgins describes people who had brutal childhoods, who suffered violence at the hands of a parent, who were raped, abused, and abandoned, and yet who created lives of hope and happiness. Included are moving portraits of people such as a psychiatrist, happily married for twenty-eight years, who as a child was the victim of a satanic cult and was forced to become a prostitute, and a son who, though ferociously beaten by his father and sexually abused by his mother, grew up to become the director of a human service agency. Offering an approach that focuses on the origins of mental health rather than the beginnings of mental illness, Resilient Adults outlines how men and women can recognize the resilient traits they possess and appreciate what has gone right with their lives. Higgins's studies reveal many of the characteristics that resilient individuals have in common. For example, the author has found that these men and women tend to fiercely protect their time for reflection, to approach potential problems proactively, and to believe firmly that if they take charge and put forth the effort, their lives will improve. On the basis of her findings, she provides a wealth of information about how these characteristics can be cultivated and how resilience can be fostered in adultsdespite their background or personal history.
