Cancer: Navigating the Journey
Paliative nursing sister, Cherry Armstrong answers a wide range of cancerrelated questions in this 156-page book, published by Quivertree Publications. It goes beyond treatment and medical information and touches on topics like lifestyle, as well as emotional and spiritual aspects. Cancer is a subject so often talked about, yet there is little practical information out there that help people navigate through it.
Captain Fanplastic & The Black Mermaid
This groundbreaking book serves to educate readers about the pervasive issue of marine litter. It also emphasises our interconnectedness with the world’s oceans.

Fraud – How prison set me free
Author Nikki Munitz matriculated from a top private Jewish school in Joburg, after which she found herself addicted to heroin. She was sent to Noupoort, a rehab centre in the Northern Cape, where she met Jake whom she later married. With money being in short supply, she started a job at a law firm and eventually started to syphon money from trust accounts. She was found guilty on 37 counts of fraud. This book is her memoir. It’s about a Jewish mother who is forced to examine a life of lies and deceit from behind bars, until an unexpected encounter in a grimy prison gives her wings to fly.
