Beyond Hope<br />
From an Auckland prison to changing lives in<br />
Afghanistan by Bariz Shah<br />
A powerful story of how one man didn’t let other people define him<br />
At age 18, Bariz Shah ended up in an Auckland prison. As an<br />
Afghan migrant who was deeply affected by 9/11, Bariz spiralled<br />
from schoolyard fights into crime and drugs - until prison made<br />
him rethink the story of his life.<br />
Years later, in Christchurch, Bariz had turned everything around<br />
when a terrorist walked into the local mosque and took the lives of 51<br />
people in his community. Driven by a new purpose, Bariz and his wife Saba<br />
raised money to return to Afghanistan and establish 51 small businesses in honour of<br />
those they lost.<br />
In this memoir about finding self-belief, belonging and positive change, Bariz’s story<br />
reminds us that we always have the power to change ourselves for the better.<br />
‘Bariz gifts us his truth-telling, delivered with unwavering optimism.’ Matt Brown,<br />
author of She Is Not Your Rehab<br />
‘Bariz has been through adversity and emerged with love, care and kindness. He<br />
shows that nothing is impossible.’ Meng Foon, Race Relations Commissioner 2019-<br />

Sisterhood<br />
by Cathy Kelly<br />
Two sisters. One secret. A journey to learn who they really are…<br />
The instant Irish number one bestseller!<br />
As the waves crash on to a wild Atlantic beach, Lou is at a crossroads. For the first<br />
time ever, just giving up seems like an option. In just one night, at her own 50th<br />
birthday, her world has imploded. Her mother has kept a secret hidden all her life.<br />
And it changes everything. Before Lou can take another step, she needs to get to the<br />
bottom of the shocking truth that alters who she really is. Along with her sister, Toni,<br />
who is facing her own crisis, the two women sets out on a life-changing journey – one<br />
that will take them through Ireland’s wildest coastline and to Sicily’s sun-baked rocky<br />
shores. It will also take Lou deep into her relationships with her mother, her sister and<br />
her daughter to figure out how to stop pleasing everyone else – and carve out who she<br />
really wants to be.<br />
‘I really, really loved it. I think it’s her best book so far, written with maturity and<br />
great compassion. The characters are very relatable, Lou was my favourite . . . I<br />
enjoyed this book so much’ MARIAN KEYES<br />
‘Cathy at her absolute best . . . Wonderful realistic women trying to forge their way<br />
in an upbeat story where dark clouds give way to sunshine. Perfect to curl up with’<br />
