The Luck We Carry is a collection of personal essays about love, loss, and the enduring presence of the people who shape us. Written over many years, the book traces life after the death of the author's husband, Ken, and the ways grief quietly weaves itself into identity, memory, and daily living.

Rather than offering advice or prescriptive steps for grieving, The Luck We Carry bears witness to what it means to continue living after profound loss. These essays explore marriage and partnership, chosen family, resilience, and the small, often unexpected moments that allow meaning to surface again. The tone is reflective and honest, allowing space for sorrow, humor, gratitude, and tenderness to coexist.

At its heart, this book is grounded in the belief that grief is not something to overcome, but something to carry. Loss becomes evidence of a deeply felt love, and remembrance becomes an act of devotion rather than a barrier to moving forward. The essays move fluidly between past and present, honoring what was while acknowledging the reality of what remains.

Each essay is accompanied by a brief author's note that offers context about when the piece was written and where the author was emotionally at the time. These notes are not meant to instruct or explain, but to gently orient readers and invite them to locate themselves within the work, wherever they may be in their own experience of loss or transition.

The Luck We Carry will resonate with readers who have lost a spouse or partner, those navigating life after grief, and anyone drawn to thoughtful, literary nonfiction. It is particularly well-suited for readers seeking honest storytelling that affirms love's lasting impact without minimizing the complexity of grief.

Tender without sentimentality and hopeful without denial, The Luck We Carry is a meditation on how love continues to shape us, long after the person we loved is gone.

Told with sharp humor and unflinching honesty, Fran Weinstein's memoir traces one woman's journey from dutiful immigrant daughter to seasoned entertainment news reporter who reckons with the price of ambition-and finally chooses a life grounded not in Hollywood glitz, but in grace.

The daughter of Polish immigrants who fled Nazi Germany, Fran Weinstein grew up in the post World War II Bronx. Though she was expected to follow a conventional and exclusive path to homemaking at an early age, she forged her own, rising in the cutthroat game and glamour of Hollywood's red carpets. Mentored by the iconic Robin Leach, creator of the groundbreaking television show, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, she became a force behind the camera at Entertainment Tonight, where she transformed whispers into headlines while chasing stories in stilettos that doubled as armor.

But the higher she climbed in those backbreaking heels, the greater the cost to her spirit. Tortured Soles pulls back the glitzy velvet ropes to a gutsy career built on adrenaline, ethical tightropes, and impossible standards. Behind the scenes, Weinstein navigates painful family turmoil, mental health battles, and the corrosive pressures of an industry built on spectacle.

"Whether you are a pop culture junkie or just love a good story, Tortured Soles gives you a front row seat to the real "business" of celebrity journalism told by one of its most grounded, honest, and generous insiders. I couldn't put it down."

- Lara Spencer, co-anchor of Good Morning America

"...for anyone who's ever fantasized about working on the frontlines of entertainment news. From being robbed by Anne Heche, trespassing through the ashes of a child star's apartment and a startling discovery in the private chambers of a TV judge, Weinstein puts one Manolo Blahnik in front of the other as she navigates a decidedly rocky road to run with the world's most famous movie stars."

- Paula Froehlich, on-air correspondent and producer, "News Nation Now"

Indigenous Peoples in Canada have experienced coerced sterilization under eugenics legislation since the 1930s, and the violence has never stopped, even though eugenics fell into disrepute. In The Genocide Continues, Karen Stote traces the historical, political, economic and policy context informing the coerced sterilization of Indigenous women from 1970 onward. She shows how a powerful idea paved the way for the expanded violations of Indigenous People's bodies and futures. That idea was population control -- a concern with who occupied land and how resources were distributed -- and it was a central thread guiding public health interventions from eugenics to family planning.

The Genocide Continues offers new insights to show how federal, provincial and corporate activities intersected to criminalize and regulate Indigenous reproduction. Saskatchewan, which first established family planning policies in the 1970s and is now the province with the highest number of Indigenous women coming forward with experiences of coerced sterilization, is Stote's case study to demonstrate why family planning activities consistently targeted Indigenous women.

Stote weaves compelling archival evidence with principled storytelling to connect violence against Indigenous bodies to violence against Indigenous lands. Unless and until colonialism, extractivism and dispossession are addressed, a genocide against Indigenous peoples will continue.
