The Devil and Harper Lee
Mark Seal“The legendary novelist Harper Lee left us a cold case of her own. Almost two decades after writing ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ Lee returned home to Alabama to investigate a mysterious string of murders and the charismatic reverend rumored to be the killer. But she never wrote the book. In this Scribd Original, find out more about the true-crime story that haunted Lee, but that she never managed to write.” — Stephanie
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
Lori Gottlieb“This moving memoir takes you inside the minds of both therapists and patients. Gottlieb opens up about her experiences on both sides of the couch in such a personal and revealing way that it’ll resonate with anyone grappling with finding bigger meanings in their life. (And it’ll make you realize we all could probably use a therapist).” — Katie
I Miss You When I Blink: Essays
Mary Laura Philpott“Based on the beauty of the title alone, I expected this hybrid of memoir and self-help essays to be great. When I cried after reading only the introduction, I knew it was going to be special.
Mary Laura Philpott writes with humor and sorrow about losing yourself despite having loving friends and family and a rewarding career. The “you” and the “I” of the title are one and the same — a nostalgic longing for who you once were and can never be again. A reluctant acceptance that here and now will soon be there and gone. A triumphant realization that you are still the maker of your own story.” — Ashley
