Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling memoir was written by Robert Alastair Jensen. Robert traces his ancestral record back to the early 1700s. He describes the journeys of the generations before him as they make the bold, daring move from Norway and Denmark across the ocean to begin homesteading in North America. He chronicles his early life growing up in rural Saskatchewan during the 1940s, his career as a teacher, his experiences with fatherhood and family life, his retirement years, and his eventual struggles with cancer. Weaving in the significant events of the times, including the Spanish Flu, the Depression, and World War Two, Jensen creates a rich backdrop for his family history while offering wisdom gleaned from generations of hardworking ancestors. Along the way, he reveals his love of literature and history as he references his favourite authors, their works and their impact on his journey through life. He challenges himself with many questions all the while referencing the struggles of facing the wind. Initially, he asks himself the question, "When will I be done?" His answer was "When I get to the last page." In an ironic but peaceful sense, the correct answer would have been, "The day I pass." He leaves this treasured gift for his entire family, his friends and the generations to follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert and Mary Rowe’s second child, Christopher, was born with severe neurological and visual impairments. For many years, the Rowes’ courageous response to adversity set an example for other parents of children with birth defects. Then the pressures on Bob Rowe—personal and professional—took their toll, and he fell into depression and, ultimately, delusion. And one day he took a baseball bat and killed his wife and three children. Julie Salamon deftly avoids sensationalism as she tells the Rowes’ tragic story with intelligence, sympathy, and insight. Like all great literary journalism, Facing the Wind asks us to join its issues and examine our own lives and problems in the new, bright light that good writing always sheds.

Book excerpt: The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! With Robert Jordan’s untimely passing in 2007, Brandon Sanderson, the New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn novels and the Stormlight Archive, was chosen by Jordan’s editor—his wife, Harriet McDougal—to complete the final volume in The Wheel of Time®, later expanded to three books. In A Memory of Light, the fourteenth and concluding novel in Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, the armies of Light gather to fight in Tarmon Gai’don, the Last Battle, to save the Westland nations from the shadow forces of the Dark One. Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, is ready to fulfill his destiny. To defeat the enemy that threatens them all, he must convince his reluctant allies that his plan—as foolhardy and dangerous as it appears—is their only chance to stop the Dark One’s ascension and secure a lasting peace. But if Rand’s course of action fails, the world will be engulfed in shadow. Across the land, Mat, Perrin, and Egwene engage in battle with Shadowspawn, Trollocs, Darkfriends, and other creatures of the Blight. Sacrifices are made, lives are lost, but victory is unassured. For when Rand confronts the Dark One in Shayol Ghul, he is bombarded with conflicting visions of the future that reveal there is more at stake for humanity than winning the war. Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Book excerpt: Once again Peter Kenny, known worldwide as a passionate fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and the world of fantasy, has given us a treasury of poems, Memories of Another Land. Mr. Kenny has revisited the world of his first collection of poems, Dreams of Another Land, to continue to explore the bygone years and half-remembered histories of this other land, both familiar and strange to our own eyes and memories. Brave warriors, travelling wizards, voyagers making their long ways across land and sea, and lovers both together and apart are described with language that in places is delicately pastel and in other places vividly coloured. Some poems describe dark beings and darkness falling across the land, but against this gloom stands the presence--in some poems prominently, in others as a small brave figure--of hope, for better days, peaceful times, and love reunited. Mr. Kenny's previous illustrator, Sue Bradley, has again provided lovely watercolour illustrations to pair with the poems. Notable poems include "The Clans Will Gather," with its echoes of Celtic traditions, and "His Golden Ring," with just the right touch of eeriness along with vivid imagery. The Title Poem "Memories of Another Land" is a lovely poem which reminds us that not all we "know" is true, and that it's what people have inside them that produces evil--or by extension good. Big folk and small, young folk and old, will all find something to enjoy in Memories of Another Land. Sherry Larson-Rhodes. First Year Experience Librarian at SUNY Geneseo, & freelance editor.

Even a greater love, the love of his life, is afforded no pass through the bulwark of those preoccupations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like cancer untreated, PTSD can kill—if not the body— the mind and soul. Linda King has portrayed, in real-time, what it is like to live with full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder. With My Face to the Wind is not only for those who have PTSD, or those who support friends and family with PTSD, but it is also for professionals who want a window into the mind and heart of someone struggling to overcome PTSD. With this 2021 revision, Linda hopes that readers who have lived with the symptoms of this disorder (which often goes undiagnosed) will learn coping skills, along with hope and faith to continue on their journey. Linda King’s “With My Face to the Wind” is an inspiring read like no other. Her story is one of the tragedies and triumphs, with tears and laughter guiding the way. Mrs. King knows how to tell her tales and pushes her readers to better themselves—by accepting themselves. I suggest this book to anyone—PTSD suffers, mis-understood teenagers, and those who are perfectly fine. This book will lead you to your best self. -Anna Katherine Beerman While sharing some of her personal tragedies, Linda King weaves just enough verifiable psychological content (without causing brain freeze) to know that she's done her homework. Her wit and humor shine through just in the nick of time. . . -Rhonda B. Holmes, Author, The WORD Diet What you have written is too powerful to be read in one or two settings. As a registered nurse I’ve been accustomed to reading professional abstracts and journals quickly and incorporating new learning into my nursing practice. It was the unanticipated emotional impact that caused me to read it in small “doses” spread over a couple of months. . . . and your format of introducing that information throughout the book as it coincided with stages in your own emotional journey, will make it much easier for individuals affected by PTSD to understand and apply it to their own circumstances. -Elen Wright, R.N

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a picture can say a thousand words, it can also leave a thousand unsaid. How well do you really know the person sitting beside you, the work colleague across the desk from you? You see their rise up the corporate ladder, their smiling children, their immaculate house, but do you really see them? Chances are, what you see is not what you get. Take me for example. I have a wonderful job, a house, a car, two amazing children, and friends and family who I know love me and are there for me no matter what. On the outside, I'm one of the luckiest people around. But my journey here would probably shock some people, even my friends. Some would be sad, and others would feel sorry for me. Yes, it's been hard; it's been painful, and sometimes I've wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out, but my journey is what's made me the person I am today. Heartache, pain, sorrow, joy, and laughter are all parts of life. We all live it; we all feel it, and hopefully we all grow and learn from it. I'm sharing my journey so others might see that, no matter how hard things may seem, life goes on. You do get through it. Keep searching for the way to happiness because life is worth it. I knowIm living it.
