Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spirit of Loving Frank and The Paris Wife, acclaimed novelist Melanie Benjamin pulls back the curtain on the marriage of one of America’s most extraordinary couples: Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. “The history [is] exhilarating. . . . The Aviator’s Wife soars.”—USA Today NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER When Anne Morrow, a shy college senior with hidden literary aspirations, travels to Mexico City to spend Christmas with her family, she meets Colonel Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his celebrated 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic. Enthralled by Charles’s assurance and fame, Anne is certain the aviator has scarcely noticed her. But she is wrong. Charles sees in Anne a kindred spirit, a fellow adventurer, and her world will be changed forever. The two marry in a headline-making wedding. In the years that follow, Anne becomes the first licensed female glider pilot in the United States. But despite this and other major achievements, she is viewed merely as the aviator’s wife. The fairy-tale life she once longed for will bring heartbreak and hardships, ultimately pushing her to reconcile her need for love and her desire for independence, and to embrace, at last, life’s infinite possibilities for change and happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melanie Gibson was an independent woman with a good job, multiple college degrees, and a condo in the trendy part of town. She also had a few mental illnesses, a minor substance abuse problem, and rotten relationship skills. She was a high-functioning crazy who needed a good kick in the pants, literally and metaphorically. In early 2013, as a last desperate means to save her sanity, Melanie turned to a nearly forgotten childhood activity: the Korean martial art of taekwondo. As if the universe were listening, she discovered her West Texas childhood taekwondo instructors’ Grandmaster operated a taekwondo school a few miles from her home in Fort Worth, Texas—and she decided to start her training over as a white belt. In taekwondo, Melanie felt like she had a fresh start in more ways than one. She found an inner peace she’d never known before, a sense of community, a newfound confidence, and a positive outlook on life. The kicking and screaming she was doing in class quieted the long-term kicking and screaming in her mind. Funny and frank, Kicking and Screaming: A Memoir of Madness and Martial Arts is the story of Melanie’s life-changing journey from troubled, lost soul to confident taekwondo black belt.

Book excerpt: A charming and heartwarming new romantic comedy by the acclaimed author of Waiting for Tom Hanks, Kerry Winfrey. Teddy Phillips never thought she would still be spending every day surrounded by toys at almost thirty years old. But working at a vintage toy store is pretty much all she has going on in her life after being unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend. The one joy that she has kept is her not-so-guilty pleasure: Everett’s Place, a local children’s show hosted by Everett St. James, a man whom Teddy finds very soothing . . . and, okay, cute. Teddy finds the courage to write to him, feeling slightly like one of the children who write to him on his show. He always gives sound advice and seems like he has everything figured out—and he pretty much does: Everett has a great support system, wonderful friends, and his dream job. But there is still that persistent feeling in the back of his mind that something is missing. When a woman named Theodora starts writing to Everett, he is drawn to her honesty and vulnerability. They continue writing to each other, all the while living their lives without meeting. When their worlds collide, however, they must both let go of their fears and figure out what they truly want—and if the future they want includes each other.

Book excerpt: Melanie runs away. From conflict. From pain. From reality. When novelist Melanie Vander faces a looming deadline, she decides it’s time for an escape to an inspiring, novel-worthy locale. She’s not running away. Really. She just needs time to focus. But as she disappears into her writing, she encounters a man whose tenderness leaves her reeling. Engaging and wise, psychologist Elliot Hammond tempts Melanie to question everything, including her marriage. But that’s ridiculous. Dr. Hammond isn’t even…real. Melanie’s husband, Craig, has his own problems, including a recession that’s threatening his business. Waning finances, a looming home foreclosure, and a wife who’s checked out emotionally, has Craig feeling as though he’s carrying his burdens alone. When his client, the beautiful and single Serena Buchanan, offers him a solution to his financial woes, he’s tempted by more than her offer of a business solution. At a crossroads, Melanie and Craig seem headed in opposite directions. As Melanie runs away from her problems by escaping into her own fictional world, Craig dives into his struggles, seeking God for strength and healing for his marriage. Ultimately, Melanie must choose whether she’ll check out completely, or allow her characters to lead her home.

Book excerpt: The world and the humans share a special bond together. The world is a place full of vibrant life, unpredictable events, and a sort of beautiful, self-sustaining chaos. The Human being’s journey on this Earth is one that is corporeal yet also deeply spiritual. The world presents so many things into our lives that often we forget that we are more than just what invokes responses from our physical senses. What separates man from every other creature is his ability to think rationally. What man lacks in survival endowments such as long claws, fur, etc., man makes up for in his ability to know. Man can think and know that he thinks. Man can eat and know that he eats. Man can speak and know that he speaks. The human being is able to conquer and have dominion over the creatures and the world itself, because of this unique ability to know rationally. There are many different areas where the human being shows this separation of pure intellect. One would be his tool-making ability or homo-Faber. It is true that some monkeys can make tools, but it is the only man that makes these tools not just as an extension of their bodily reach, but as direct fruition of their thoughts. Community, Language, Science, Arts, Religion, Death, and Culture are all elements that show man’s rationality, his intellect. The intellect exists in the soul of man and animates the body through the influence on man’s free will. Too often we focus on the superficial parts of ourselves and get lost in the mainstream’s constant influential assault about how we should be physical. While of course we are composed of the body, we must remember that it is the soul that also makes up our life, and its health must also be taken into consideration in everything we do. We can define a human being as a rational animal, a composite of both body and soul. Its soul is the subsistent element, and its powers involve the knowing intellect and the will to do good. With free will aiming toward good, and knowledge aiming towards the truth, the human being works towards becoming more beautiful in the sense of intentionality, of culture. Biohacking in its deepest sense must look beyond the temporal world of physiological and temporal matter and adhere to the health and the growth of the human soul. We are all on this Earth together and as biohackers, we have the mission of increasing our knowledge every single day to feed not only our bodies and brains but most importantly our souls. When one chooses to take the time to explore such questions as who they are and how they act, and where they are going, and what is their purpose, they increase their value as a person through this continual development. Their soul becomes more of a master over their temporal body and they can live life with perhaps more peace and happiness because of their continued growth and development of their soul, which acts through their body.

Book excerpt: A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2019 Why do we make things by hand? And why do we make them beautiful? Led by the question of why working with our hands remains vital and valuable in the modern world, author and maker Melanie Falick went on a transformative, inspiring journey. Traveling across continents, she met quilters and potters, weavers and painters, metalsmiths, printmakers, woodworkers, and more, and uncovered truths that have been speaking to us for millennia yet feel urgently relevant today: We make in order to slow down. To connect with others. To express ideas and emotions, feel competent, create something tangible and long-lasting. And to feed the soul. In revealing stories and gorgeous original photographs, Making a Life captures all the joy of making and the power it has to give our lives authenticity and meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hillcrest Journal is skillfully told . . . very realistic . . . I would recommend it not only to teenage readers but also to parents who may have a slightly hazy recollection of adolescence." West Concord Enterprise Chad Wilson, before his senior year of high school, is forced to move from his family farm to Hillcrest, a small town in Ironwood County, Minnesota. The troubled senior seeks to discover his true values in 1984 America: social, sexual, and moral. He questions everything around him as he is torn between his desires, his fears, and his convictions. His journal entries, awkward at first, become a moving account of the narrator and his search for meaning. His journey leads to bitterness, confusion, temptation, and, ultimately, forgiveness. Throughout his struggle, his one enduring value is his utmost honesty--with himself and with his journal. This is the first novel in the Ironwood County Chronicles, a loosely-linked trilogy focusing on Christians in conflict with the world, with those they love, and with themselves. The second novel, also published by Xlibris, is Passing Through Paradise; the third novel in sequence is Life on the Fly. * * * Excerpts from a sophomore English class, Triton High School, Dodge Center, MN: "Overall, your book was one of the best I have ever read. It deals with normal high school issues in a way that is easy for people of all ages to be interested in." "I wanted to laugh, cry, cringe or even rejoice at different stages in the book. . . . Since I have read this book I have learned many things. I have an even bigger assurance that it is ok to not give into peer pressure." "Reading your novel Hillcrest Journal reminded me of how almost every high school is the same and how every teenager has ups and downs just like everybody else. I think your book really reminds us that we are not the only ones with struggles. Many of the characters in the book reflected many of my own peers. . . . It told of every high and low and explained all the options, opportunities, and tough decisions that we face everyday." "I loved your book. . . . It made me want to start laughing. Chad is so much like me it was scary." "Hillcrest Journal is more than honest about high school life, it is honest in general about what life is. . . " What Ironwood County is saying: "Everyone should read this when they are 15, reread it when they are 20, and reread it again when they are parents." The Paradise Post "This is what Christian fiction should be: insightful and innovative." The Cherry Grove Gazette "Teenagers. Conflicts with parents. Problems dating. These topics are all fine. But add politics, religion, and sex? Not in my library!" Agatha Peabody, Hillcrest High School librarian Intended Audience: Anyone who has ever had conflicts with parents, feared for a younger sibling, dealt with unrequited love, or asked sincere religious questions will be drawn into the novel. As one mother who read this book said, "Every parent who has a son should read this book." Helpful Link: Schreiber has posted some of his published articles, essays, and poems along with book group discussion questions for Hillcrest Journal at Ironwood County Books

Book excerpt: Newbery-winning Rules meets Counting by 7s in this affecting story of a girl’s devotion to her brother and what it means to be home When eleven-year-old Thyme Owens’ little brother, Val, is accepted into a new cancer drug trial, it’s just the second chance that he needs. But it also means the Owens family has to move to New York, thousands of miles away from Thyme’s best friend and everything she knows and loves. The island of Manhattan doesn’t exactly inspire new beginnings, but Thyme tries to embrace the change for what it is: temporary. After Val’s treatment shows real promise and Mr. Owens accepts a full-time position in the city, Thyme has to face the frightening possibility that the move to New York is permanent. Thyme loves her brother, and knows the trial could save his life—she’d give anything for him to be well—but she still wants to go home, although the guilt of not wanting to stay is agonizing. She finds herself even more mixed up when her heart feels the tug of new friends, a first crush, and even a crotchety neighbor and his sweet whistling bird. All Thyme can do is count the minutes, the hours, and days, and hope time can bring both a miracle for Val and a way back home. With equal parts heart and humor, Melanie Conklin’s debut is a courageous and charming story of love and family—and what it means to be counted.

Book excerpt: In the unforgiving vortex of the American heartland, when you have to choose, you always choose life For Iona Moon, the open fields of the Kila Flats and the town of White Falls are centuries apart rather than the distance of a few miles. Mocked and feared by her classmates, Iona is only desirable to beautiful, brilliant Jay Tyler when they’re in the backseat of Willy Hamilton’s Chevy. Passion offers relief from the abuse of her older brothers and the sorrow of her mother’s slow surrender to cancer. But transient pleasures do not lead to grace—and Iona discovers she must escape everything she knows before she can learn to love the ones who have harmed her. Sensual, haunting, and tender, Iona Moon is a cry for independence, a demand for respect, and a realization that all worlds are cruel in their own ways.
