Sheila Williams, with her talent for detailed storytelling, expertly takes the reader on a poignant and humorous quest for self.”—Lori Bryant-Woolridge, author of Read Between the Lies At forty-one, Juanita Lewis is running away from home, courtesy of a one-way ticket to Montana, a place that seems about as far away from the violence and poverty of the Columbus, Ohio, projects as the moon. She wants adventure and excitement—if such things exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three grown, deadbeat children. Juanita’s new life in Paper Moon, Montana, begins at a local diner where a culinary face-off with chef and owner Jess Gardiner finds Juanita in front of Jess’s stove serving up home cookin’ that lures the townsfolk like a magic spell. And suddenly Juanita, who was just passin’ through, now has a job by popular demand. Out here in this wide-open space, Juanita’s heart can no longer hide, especially when she sees herself through the eyes of the wonderful and eccentric people of this down-to-earth town. She’s happy in Paper Moon; she’s found a home, but can she stay? And then there’s Jess. She has always dreamed of romance, but she never planned on falling in love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an emerging young painter in New York City, Brahna Yassky lived her dream, working full-time as an artist and supporting herself with her work, attending art openings and going to clubs, and painting scenery in theaters. In 1982 a flame shot up from her stove and burned 55% of her body. InSlow Dancing with Fire Yassky chronicles the day she was burned, the three months she spent in the burn unit enduring an arduous healing process, and the next full year of physical and occupational therapy. She feared she might never paint again or have an independent life. Would any man ever find her attractive enough to want a relationship? Over time Yassky's resilient spirit guided her to build a new life. She earned credentials as an art therapist and helped others heal from their traumas by engaging with the creative process. She adopted a daily practice of swimming, both as a meditation and a way to loosen scar contractions. The New York City Department of Health commissioned her to create a mural on the outside of a building in the South Bronx and posters for every subway car. She joined the Guerrilla Girls, a women’s artist activist collective whose mission was to fight racism and sexism in the art world. She wrote and directed a film about the day she was burned, casting an actress to play herself, thus objectifying the experience and eliminating her personal identity as a burn victim. And finally, she married a man she never would have dated before the fire because his greatest attributes were kindness and nurturance, not coolness and worldly success. Her story encourages the belief that building a resilient spirit and healing our wounds and traumas are not only possible but exhilirating.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his signature larger-than-life style, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Total Recall is a revealing self-portrait of his illustrious, controversial, and truly unique life. The greatest immigrant success story of our time. His story is unique, and uniquely entertaining, and he tells it brilliantly in these pages. He was born in a year of famine, in a small Austrian town, the son of an austere police chief. He dreamed of moving to America to become a bodybuilding champion and a movie star. By the age of twenty-one, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr. Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Within ten years, he had earned his college degree and was a millionaire from his business enterprises in real estate, landscaping, and bodybuilding. He was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award for his debut as a dramatic actor in Stay Hungry. Within twenty years, he was the world’s biggest movie star, the husband of Maria Shriver, and an emerging Republican leader who was part of the Kennedy family. Thirty-six years after coming to America, the man once known by fellow bodybuilders as the Austrian Oak was elected governor of California, the seventh largest economy in the world. He led the state through a budget crisis, natural disasters, and political turmoil, working across party lines for a better environment, election reforms, and bipartisan solutions. With Maria Shriver, he raised four fantastic children. In the wake of a scandal he brought upon himself, he tried to keep his family together. Until now, he has never told the full story of his life, in his own voice. Here is Arnold, with total recall.

Book excerpt: How would it feel to be the creative mastermind behind some of the world's greatest public spectaculars? No-one will forget the beauty of Barcelona's archer lighting the Olympic flame with a burning arrow or the sheer drama of Cathy Freeman igniting the Olympic torch in Sydney. But what about the unseen and unheard about dramas behind the openings? Ric Birch knows intimately the highs and lows of producing and directing many of the world's most watched and acclaimed ceremonies. The success of Ric's production at the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games led to the opportunity to work on the opening and closing ceremonies of the Los Angeles Olympic Games. From there Ric's path brought him back to Australia for the six-month long World Expo 88, and then to the Singapore Silver Jubilee celebrations, the ceremonies for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games and of course the magnificent ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, amongst many other events, stage shows and television productions. For the first time, Ric Birch reveals some of the skulduggery behind the ceremonies. He writes of his personal and professional life and of the effects they have on each other. Ric also describes the years of creativity and ruthlessness that precedes each event with humour, amazing detail and with huge affection and respect for his teams'. This entertaining and fascinating memoir reveals the guts, determination and confidence of the master of the ceremonies, Ric Birch.

Book excerpt: Short Stories for Rainy Days is a wide variety of stories, ranging from the Bayou to New York City and beyond. Belle's lived on the Bayou for most of her life, and likes it there. Some people think that it's dull in the swampland, but not her. She thinks that there's a lot of life and mystery out in the Bayou. Like the time that the escaped murderer came through... Marta's world has been turned upside down. More than once. Living in Germany as World War II rages, Marta must learn to cope as all normalcy dissolves. If that wasn't enough, she must learn a new way of life in a new country, a new language, and a new culture. Ginnie and Vicky are both having problems. One is shipwrecked, and the other is stuck for the summer in a place she'd rather not be. Both must help each other, in ways that they don't understand, crossing the barrier of time itself.
