Book excerpt: "Behind the Curtains of Joy" is a book that embodies the struggle of the depressed, through which we get closer to some of their pains and needs, reveal some of their precious treasures, and help others understand the horrible sufferings of the depressed, and how the sound of their silence is loudly voiced out every day. In fact, depression is the worst diseases of the world, and the most painful and complicated one that it killed more humans than wars. Scholars and philosophers exerted much effort to define depression, however, it remained a disease difficult to understand and manage. Some define it as: a mere manifestation of a sense of helplessness toward achievement of goals, in which case despair is attributed to personal anguishes. In this context, hope is seen as a function for recognizing the likelihood of success in terms of its relevance to achieving goals. Others described it as a mental illness characterized by a deep and lasting feeling of sadness, despair, or loss of interest in things that were once a source of joy, accompanied by a sleep, appetite for food, and mental processes disorder. Other scholars confine it to a state of despair, hopelessness, and fear, accompanied by negative thoughts, and changes in the ecosystem of motivation, or in the driving forces of man, in the perceptions, and in the negative behavior in general. Many others got closer to what depression is by defining it as "a state of ongoing severe sadness caused by sad painful conditions, representing something missing, though the patient seems to be unaware of the real source of his/her sadness". However, other scholars defined depression as: "a case of psychological imbalance, which primarily affects the person's mood and ideals, thus exposing him/her to moral pain and distress". It thus becomes clear that there are many definitions and explanations put forward by many scholars and philosophers who are affiliated to study of Medicine, Psychology, and Sociology. However, the most accurate and correct definition of depression from my point of view is: "that feeling only depressed people experience." Yes, this only is the definition of depression. Simply, in order for someone to be able to define depression the way it should be defined, s/he must first experience it so s/he can fairly describe it, which is something I do not wish for anyone.

Book excerpt: Best Book of the Year Real Simple • AARP • USA Today • NPR • Virginia Living Longlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize From the Man Booker finalist and bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves comes an epic and intimate novel about the family behind one of the most infamous figures in American history: John Wilkes Booth. In 1822, a secret family moves into a secret cabin some thirty miles northeast of Baltimore, to farm, to hide, and to bear ten children over the course of the next sixteen years. Junius Booth—breadwinner, celebrated Shakespearean actor, and master of the house in more ways than one—is at once a mesmerizing talent and a man of terrifying instability. One by one the children arrive, as year by year, the country draws frighteningly closer to the boiling point of secession and civil war. As the tenor of the world shifts, the Booths emerge from their hidden lives to cement their place as one of the country’s leading theatrical families. But behind the curtains of the many stages they have graced, multiple scandals, family triumphs, and criminal disasters begin to take their toll, and the solemn siblings of John Wilkes Booth are left to reckon with the truth behind the destructively specious promise of an early prophecy. Booth is a startling portrait of a country in the throes of change and a vivid exploration of the ties that make, and break, a family.

Book excerpt: You must always, always tell the truth, no matter the consequences, for you must model yourself on Jehovah, and Jehovah does not lie. This is the most crucial rule of all, Joy Castro is told as a young girl in a Jehovahs Witness family. Joy is 12 years old when her divorced mother marries a brother in the church. He is highly respected in the community, having displayed the ultimate sign of spiritual devotion: he served at Bethel, the Watchtower headquarters in Brooklyn. At home, however, he is a despicable brute. For the two years her mother is married to him, Joy does not grow at all; in fact, she loses 16 pounds, an eloquent testimony to the physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse she suffers at his hands. Her battered mother does nothing to protect her, nor does her church. She is sustained by a consuming fascination for horses and books and her protective love for her younger brother. Their daring escape from this unspeakable cruelty, to discover a nurturing home with their father, is the key to their survival and salvation.
