Dr. Eleanor Vale is a respected historian specializing in World War II military archives, known for uncovering forgotten stories buried beneath official history. Quietly ambitious and deeply drawn to the human side of war, Eleanor is granted rare access to a newly declassified collection of classified military files that had remained sealed for decades. Expecting routine wartime documents, she instead discovers scattered references to a mysterious female surgeon named Dr. Chiara Marchetti. At first, Chiara appears only in fragments - a faded photograph tucked into a folder, bloodstained surgical reports signed "C.M.," and testimonies from wounded soldiers describing a woman who operated for hours during the attack on Pearl Harbor, even after suffering a gunshot wound herself. But the deeper Eleanor investigates, the stranger the story becomes. Entire files are missing. Pages have been heavily redacted. Official military histories credit male officers for medical breakthroughs Eleanor slowly realizes belonged to Chiara. Obsessed with uncovering the truth, Eleanor pieces together hidden letters, photographs, and forgotten records. What she uncovers is the story of a brilliant female surgeon who saved countless lives during the war, only to have her contributions erased from history afterward. As Eleanor digs deeper, she begins to suspect Chiara's disappearance was not accidental. Someone deliberately buried her legacy, ensuring her name faded into obscurity despite her extraordinary work. Recovering Chiara Marchetti's story becomes more than academic research - it becomes Eleanor's mission to restore a forgotten woman to history and expose the uncomfortable truth that some heroes are not forgotten by time, but intentionally erased from it.

The Women's Guard, The Soldier, The Nazi, The Spy. The Spy turned Prisoner. As they say, dead men (or women, as the case may be) tell no tales. But Kathleen Winfred isn't dead; she managed to escape. Now, the story of her capture by Nazis in occupied France, and her time spent in a hotel-turned-prison must be reported to her superiors. Most stories like Kathleen's are simple: captured, taken prisoner, and, finally, a daring or lucky escape to freedom. But Kathleen's is a little more complicated than that, and to sort out what goes to her superiors in the end, she has to wade through the memories first. .....

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION There are imperfect moments in every life-but sometimes, there are perfect accidents . . . What's the point of pretending nothing has changed when everything has? It's the last summer before college, and Jonas Avery knows he should be excited. Instead, he hides out at home, avoiding his friends, his family, and everything that resembles his old life. Because nothing will be normal again-because of The Accident, when everything started falling apart. Brennan Davis knows she needs to stand up and face her anxiety-the deep, dark, debilitating dread that rules her everyday life. Because what stops her from going out into the world and just living is going to get a whole lot worse. She's leaving for college in the fall, where she'll be confronted with even more to worry about. To get back up sometimes you have to fall down, hard . . . When Jonas crashes into Brennan-in a harmless, albeit embarrassing fender bender-the two teens connect in ways they never expected. As friends, they help each other overcome their biggest falls and faults, and soon discover that while love can't fix everything, it's sometimes a place to start. Sensitive, wry, and unabashedly authentic, The Opposite of Falling Apart isn't about finding perfection in another person or fixing the things we think are broken. Instead, Micah Good has penned an enchantingly honest novel about accepting the very pieces of ourselves that make us unique, whole, and undeniably human.
