In the following months, strange and dangerous thoughts and behaviors make her question her sanity. Eventually, as a result of the devastating horror and loss, she is diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In this revealing memoir, Ms. Kay offers readers an up close look at her life voyage, up to and including her present day challenges and successes.

In her book Ms. Kay includes excerpts from her therapy sessions and conversations with other medical personnel. The author candidly discloses ways in which her spiritual struggle and loss of faith, personal character flaws, and various family relationships affect the challenges she faces living with PTSD. As her tale unfolds, Ms. Kay makes it clear why she ultimately declares her life a complete triumph with the help of her team of supporters. This relatable and intriguing book is informative and captivating, especially for readers with mental illness, physical challenges, or stressful situations of any kind. It is also an insightful source for loved ones and caregivers of hurting and struggling survivors. Between its pages is an ageless and intricate narrative of love, loss, dynamic resiliency, and inspiration.

Book excerpt: Welcome to Destiny Falls, New York, home of Bomb Squad—an ice hockey team full of rugged military heroes. The team’s battling a losing streak, but the season’s biggest game changer is one player’s second chance with the one who got away… Yoga instructor Marlena Brodie is always up for a challenge, and her new job of snapping Bomb Squad out of their rut is definitely that, even though it means being in close contact with Liam McAllister, her high school crush gone bad. She can feel the damage pouring off of him—but also a wild and sexy strength that calls to her. The Army turned Liam McAllister into a man, but as a combat medic, he saw far too much to ever be whole again. He’s not interested in the civilian world beyond his job as a carpenter, but he never stopped wondering what might have been with Marlena—and it isn’t long before she’s crashed through his carefully constructed walls. He longs for a new beginning with her, but to be the man she deserves, he’ll have to step out of his defensive zone and score the most important play of his life… Includes a preview of the next Bomb Squad novel, Game Changer. Praise for the novels of Melissa Cutler “A bright new voice in contemporary romance.”—New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde “One hot romance from start to finish.”—New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown “Sexy, savvy stuff!”—New York Times bestselling author Susan Andersen “Witty dialogue, great pacing, and steamy romance—not to mention a sassy heroine and her charming cowboy—make for one fun, passionate romp.”—RT Book Reviews Melissa Cutler knows she has the best job in the world, dividing her time between her dual passions for writing sexy contemporary romances and edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense. She was struck at an early age by an unrelenting travel bug and is probably planning her next vacation as you read this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 15 million copies sold, “a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature” (The New York Times Book Review). For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Delia Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how Christians, or persons making inquiry into redemptive Christianity, can make a very powerful and unfailing connection to Jesus Christ, the son of God, according to Romans 12:1-2: unconditional surrender to God, learning to achieve scriptural and spiritual warfare for healing against great pain of PTSD, and freedom from all addictions that hold our lives in misery. I have thirty-two years' experience in learning and implementing this process. Dwell upon these scriptures for assurances: "Cast thy burden upon the lord and he shall sustain thee, he will make righteous those who come unto him and they shall never be defeated" (Psalm 55:22). "For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried unto him, he heard. For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee" (Psalms 22:24, 9:10). "He that loses his life for my sake and he who hates his life and gives it to me shall find it" (Matthew 10:39 and John 12:25).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed author and researcher Dr. Joy DeGruy comes this fascinating book that explores the psychological and emotional impact on African Americans after enduring the horrific Middle Passage, over 300 years of slavery, followed by continued discrimination. From the beginning of American chattel slavery in the 1500’s, until the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, Africans were hunted like animals, captured, sold, tortured, and raped. They experienced the worst kind of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual abuse. Given such history, Dr. Joy DeGruy asked the question, “Isn’t it likely those enslaved were severely traumatized? Furthermore, did the trauma and the effects of such horrific abuse end with the abolition of slavery?” Emancipation was followed by another hundred years of institutionalized subjugation through the enactment of Black Codes and Jim Crow laws, peonage and convict leasing, and domestic terrorism and lynching. Today the violations continue, and when combined with the crimes of the past, they result in further unmeasured injury. What do repeated traumas visited upon generation after generation of a people produce? What are the impacts of the ordeals associated with chattel slavery, and with the institutions that followed, on African Americans today? Dr. DeGruy answers these questions and more as she encourages African Americans to view their attitudes, assumptions, and emotions through the lens of history. By doing so, she argues they will gain a greater understanding of the impact centuries of slavery and oppression has had on African Americans. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome is an important read for all Americans, as the institution of slavery has had an impact on every race and culture. “A masterwork. [DeGruy’s] deep understanding, critical analysis, and determination to illuminate core truths are essential to addressing the long-lived devastation of slavery. Her book is the balm we need to heal ourselves and our relationships. It is a gift of wholeness.”—Susan Taylor, former Editorial Director of Essence magazine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an alcoholic, drug-addicted comedian with tendencies to over-indulge and under-achieve since he was a teenager, Alex Wood was on track for to achieve his greatest goals: to die young and drunk. At the age of twenty-eight, feeling desperate in the face of addiction and associated health problems (ulcers, pancreatitis)—which were compounded by the deaths of loved ones and even worse undiagnosed issues—he decided to do something he’d actually been doing all his life: fight. Alex concocted a plan to quit not only alcohol and drugs, but everything else that he felt was holding him back: cigarettes, caffeine, red meat, dairy, sugar, social media, smartphones, porn, credit cards, nail-biting, social media, and gossip. His biggest weapons? A pair of boxing gloves and plenty of peppermint tea. But as Alex soon learned, people don’t change overnight, and sobriety isn’t a linear journey; there’s heartbreak, relapses, and abuse along the way, but there’s also love, support, and lots of laughter. In this memoir, Alex wants to prove that people really can change, or go on a withdrawal- inspired murder spree, whichever comes first. With plenty of self-effacing wit and grace, Float like a Butterfly, Drink Mint Tea tears down the walls of shame surrounding addiction, providing an honest and open portrait of the stakes involved when one is willing to quit everything in order to survive. Float like a Butterfly, Drink Mint Tea is the latest title to be published under the Robin’s Egg Books imprint.

Book excerpt: You pull me in. I resist. I run away but want to crumble. Your eyes: only one glance, one look, hits me like a tidal wave. I can’t breathe. I’m plunging. Rescue me before I drown. I hide but wish to be found only by you ... Salty understands first-hand the devastating effects of trauma as well as the importance of showing ourselves compassion during these moments rather than placing unreasonable expectations on ourselves to “get over it” after a certain time period. In a poetic story of love, loss, and lessons learned, Salty shares writings that lead others on a journey through the depths of the heart as she bravely confronted the emotions associated with unrequited love, self-doubt, and heartache, ultimately learning how to lift herself up and face the future with a new perspective. In poems and prose that speak to the universal human experience, Salty helps us all map a course through one of our most relatable struggles in life. Trauma, Tears & Triumph shares poems and prose that lyrically chronicle a young woman’s powerful journey to and from the self as she struggled with and eventually healed from heartache and loss.

Book excerpt: Adolescent girls are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate, despite having more opportunities than ever before. More than that, mainstream media coverage of women’s sports has declined over the last twenty years, and currently accounts for less than 5 percent of the total. Is it possible that there’s a connection between these dispiriting statistics? Is it possible that young girls would have a better chance of staying in sports if they could actually see the older equivalent of themselves more often? With Strong and Free, Lyndsay Doyle believes we have the power to change their lifestyle trajectories through photographs. Here is inspiration for Canadian female athletes, coaches, and officials in one collection, assembled in the hopes of expanding media coverage of female sports and encouraging young girls to enroll and stay involved. These photographs capture sporting women in all walks of life—all ages, all body types, from beginners to Olympians. These women share common traits that often transcend sports: determination, perseverance, dedication, patience, and responsibility for showing young girls how sport can benefit them. Strong and Free gives these incredible role models for young girls a powerful voice. Our girls are watching us. Our nieces, cousins, sisters, neighbours, daughters. If we don’t show them what they’re capable of, who will?

Book excerpt: Amateur detective Mallory Viridian’s talent for solving murders ruined her life on Earth and drove her to live on an alien space station, but her problems still follow her in this witty, self-aware novel that puts a speculative spin on murder mysteries, from the Hugo-nominated author of Six Wakes. From idyllic small towns to claustrophobic urban landscapes, Mallory Viridian is constantly embroiled in murder cases that only she has the insight to solve. But outside of a classic mystery novel, being surrounded by death doesn’t make you a charming amateur detective, it makes you a suspect and a social pariah. So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. Surely the murders will stop if her only company is alien beings. At first her new existence is peacefully quiet…and markedly devoid of homicide. But when the station agrees to allow additional human guests, Mallory knows the break from her peculiar reality is over. After the first Earth shuttle arrives, and aliens and humans alike begin to die, the station is thrown into peril. Stuck smack-dab in the middle of an extraterrestrial whodunit, and wondering how in the world this keeps happening to her anyway, Mallory has to solve the crime—and fast—or the list of victims could grow to include everyone on board….

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Washington Post Bestseller An entirely fresh approach to ending the high school dropout crisis is revealed in this groundbreaking chronicle of unprecedented transformation in a city notorious for its "failing schools" In eighth grade, Eric thought he was going places. But by his second semester of freshman year at Hancock High, his D's in Environmental Science and French, plus an F in Mr. Castillo's Honors Algebra class, might have suggested otherwise. Research shows that students with more than one semester F during their freshman year are very unlikely to graduate. If Eric had attended Hancock—or any number of Chicago's public high schools—just a decade earlier, chances are good he would have dropped out. Instead, Hancock's new way of responding to failing grades, missed homework, and other red flags made it possible for Eric to get back on track. The Make-or-Break Year is the largely untold story of how a simple idea—that reorganizing schools to get students through the treacherous transitions of freshman year greatly increases the odds of those students graduating—changed the course of two Chicago high schools, an entire school system, and thousands of lives. Marshaling groundbreaking research on the teenage brain, peer relationships, and academic performance, journalist turned communications expert Emily Krone Phillips details the emergence of Freshman OnTrack, a program-cum-movement that is translating knowledge into action—and revolutionizing how teachers grade, mete out discipline, and provide social, emotional, and academic support to their students. This vivid description of real change in a faulty system will captivate anyone who cares about improving our nation's schools; it will inspire educators and families to reimagine their relationships with students like Eric, and others whose stories affirm the pivotal nature of ninth grade for all young people. In a moment of relentless focus on what doesn't work in education and the public sphere, Phillips's dramatic account examines what does.

Some of these notions will be widely embraced while others may enjoy limited acceptance. Regardless of stance, we can acknowledge that gun violence undermines a quest for a healthy and productive life. Further, making this book urban focused, has race and socio-economic class assume prominence bringing a social justice and equity lens (Zakrison, Williams, & Crandall, 2021)"--

Book excerpt: "I've got my monsters and they all look like my father." Even after starting a successful company at 24, expanding from Washington, DC to LA, and securing extensive national media coverage, Kanchan still suffered from self-destructive behavior, depression, and anxiety. Kanchan Singh, Founder and CEO of Crumbs and Whiskers, was doing great. But Kanchan was hanging by a thread. Deeply unhappy, insecure, and afraid, Kanchan began a journey of self-work to heal from the traumas she had buried deep within her in the process of becoming a successful entrepreneur. At the advice of her mentor, she began therapy to uncover wounds from her childhood (an absent and abusive father, an emotionally abusive mother, sexual assault, bullying, and immigrating to the US), and from doing arduous work and self-discovery, Kanchan arrived at self-love and healing. Dear Me, I Love You is the story of that healing. Through poetry, prose, and conversations with her therapist, Dear Me, I Love You explores the feelings and realizations Kanchan had in therapy. The book creates a map and guide of what it takes for a successful young woman to confront what she thought made her weak to come out from the shadows of her past. The book inspires others to feel their pain and heal from it, to overcome their limiting beliefs and conditionings, and become who they really are. Let Kanchan take you on her self-healing journey and explore with her what it takes to finally say to yourself, Dear Me, I Love You.
