How do you react when your entire world changes?

"Living While Dying" by Thom Barrett is a poignant memoir detailing his experiences and insights from battling stage IV prostate cancer. Eight years ago, Thom's life took an unexpected turn with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Initially, he believed a surgery to remove his prostate would cure him, but the cancer had already advanced to stage III, spreading beyond the gland.

The book chronicles Thom's journey since 2015, starting from the initial signs of rising PSA levels to the life-altering biopsy in 2016. After a period of remission, where Thom embraced travel and active living, the cancer returned in 2019, necessitating further treatments like external beam radiation and androgen deprivation therapy.

Despite these challenges, Thom has continued to lead a fulfilling life, traveling and volunteering, even as recent tests in early 2023 showed the cancer's progression to his lymph nodes and chest. Now 67, he faces the realities of stage IV cancer with determination and hope, aiming to surpass survival expectations and maintain a quality life.

This book isn't a step-by-step guide on battling cancer but a deeply personal narrative about living fully in the face of illness. Thom's story emphasizes the power of positivity and the significance of cherishing each moment, offering inspiration to others with cancer and their supporters. It's a testament to facing life's hardest challenges with unwavering strength and optimism. Grab your copy today!

From bestselling author Kristin Canary comes a series filled with laughs, friendship goals, and the swooniest book boyfriends imaginable ...

Connor is the last guy in the world I should fall for.
He's the resident office flirt. I'm the quirky Pride & Prejudice-loving editor who uses big words and dresses like the world's non-sexiest librarian. We have nothing in common. Plus, we're competitors for the same job.

Fine by me. I'm happy to hold him at arms' length forever. And considering I'm practically the only woman in the office he's never flirted with, he's obviously happy to do the same.

But then, everything changes.
Because when we're stuck overnight in our office building thanks to an earthquake-induced landslide, I begin to realize that Connor isn't actually the jerk I thought he was—the kind who leads women on, just like my ex.

And when he offers to attend my ex's wedding as my fake boyfriend, things get even more interesting. Especially when he gives me that much-too-chaste kiss...

But I can't fall for him.
That would be repeating the same mistake, just with a different guy. Tell that to my dumb heart, though—the one that seems to think Connor Bryant is my Mr. Darcy.

Perfect for fans of:
✔️flirtatious banter
✔️office romances between competitors
✔️charming “bad boys” who are secret cinnamon rolls
✔️quirky bookish heroines
✔️Pride & Prejudice references
✔️fake relationships
✔️forced proximity

YOU DESERVE TO BE YOU—EVEN IF OTHERS DISAGREE

Do you dream of feeling confident in your own skin? Of no longer worrying what people think of you and whether they will approve? Instead, can your day turn on a dime with a look or a comment? Do you feel like what you do is never enough—that you’re never enough? And has all of that pressure left you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Maybe turning to food for comfort? If so, this book is for you.

Despite what you may think, I doubt you are weak, disorganized, codependent, a people pleaser, or that you lack motivation or willpower. Nor are you alone.

Over my many years working with women in therapy, it would be hard to count the number of bright, capable, successful women who have shared with me their fears of not being “good enough”, or how easily they are derailed by disapproval. And I have yet to meet a woman who feels her body is as it “should” be.

So, why is it that so many women feel they don’t measure up or find themselves constantly scrambling for approval or to be “good enough”? That is the question that prompted me to write this book.

Never Enough explores,

• the external factors, including our history as women, that keep us looking outside of ourselves for how we “should” be, while abandoning our true selves, our internal wisdom, and all that we were meant to be in this life

• how the brain, in an effort to protect and help us, often makes change difficult and knowledge insufficient in changing patterns of behavior

• the specific skills that have helped women turn this around

My gift, as a licensed psychologist, is helping women celebrate their unique beauty and truth and to step out of the no-win struggle to gain approval and be “enough.” I’d like to help you do that as well and to get you tapping into the treasure chest of strength, wisdom, and power that is waiting right there inside you! You may not believe it is there, and it is. It is just being overrun by a strong pull for approval or other outdated faulty assumptions about yourself.

Imagine how good it will feel to:

• be yourself and trust your yourself, even when facing disapproval
• deal with uncomfortable feelings like fear and guilt when speaking up
• feel confident and comfortable in your body
• celebrate who you are—your wisdom and beauty
• know what you need and be able to ask for it in an effective way
• finally get to the place where you can relax
• align with your larger purpose and greatest desires
• bloom into all you were meant to be!

I want you to have the chance to bloom and blossom in the magnificent way that is only possible for you.

My vision for you, and for all women, is a move from the outdated pull to find safety through approval to a place grounded on the firm foundation of your own wisdom—feeling safe to be yourself, to support and be supported by other women, as well as by larger sources of support like the spiritual.

This is your time to bloom! So, please don’t wait. Scroll back up to the top of the page and purchase your copy of Never Enough, right now, before something or someone pulls you away with something else you need to do.
And to help you get the most from this book, I created a companion workbook. Ideas for Reflection the Never Enough Companion Workbook provides a place where you can reflect on topics discussed in the book as well as apply them to your life. Scroll up to get your copy today!

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“Magnificent.” —The New York Times * “Beguiling, observant, and howlingly funny.” —San Francisco Chronicle * “Spectacular.” —Star Tribune (Minneapolis)* “Full of astonishments.” —The Boston Globe

Susan Orlean—the beloved New Yorker staff writer hailed as “a national treasure” by The Washington Post and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Library Book—gathers a lifetime of musings, meditations, and in-depth profiles about animals.

“How we interact with animals has preoccupied philosophers, poets, and naturalists for ages,” writes Susan Orlean. Since the age of six, when Orlean wrote and illustrated a book called Herbert the Near-Sighted Pigeon, she’s been drawn to stories about how we live with animals, and how they abide by us. Now, in On Animals, she examines animal-human relationships through the compelling tales she has written over the course of her celebrated career.

These stories consider a range of creatures—the household pets we dote on, the animals we raise to end up as meat on our plates, the creatures who could eat us for dinner, the various tamed and untamed animals we share our planet with who are central to human life. In her own backyard, Orlean discovers the delights of keeping chickens. In a different backyard, in New Jersey, she meets a woman who has twenty-three pet tigers—something none of her neighbors knew about until one of the tigers escapes. In Iceland, the world’s most famous whale resists the efforts to set him free; in Morocco, the world’s hardest-working donkeys find respite at a special clinic. We meet a show dog and a lost dog and a pigeon who knows exactly how to get home.

Equal parts delightful and profound, enriched by Orlean’s stylish prose and precise research, these stories celebrate the meaningful cross-species connections that grace our collective existence.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue, returns with a tantalizing novel about the secrets, betrayal, and murder within one of New York City's most impressive Gilded Age mansions.

Eight months since losing her mother in the Spanish flu outbreak of 1919, twenty-one-year-old Lillian Carter's life has completely fallen apart. For the past six years, under the moniker Angelica, Lillian was one of the most sought-after artists' models in New York City, with statues based on her figure gracing landmarks from the Plaza Hotel to the Brooklyn Bridge. But with her mother gone, a grieving Lillian is rudderless and desperate—the work has dried up and a looming scandal has left her entirely without a safe haven. So when she stumbles upon an employment opportunity at the Frick mansion—a building that, ironically, bears her own visage—Lillian jumps at the chance. But the longer she works as a private secretary to the imperious and demanding Helen Frick, the daughter and heiress of industrialist and art patron Henry Clay Frick, the more deeply her life gets intertwined with that of the family—pulling her into a tangled web of romantic trysts, stolen jewels, and family drama that runs so deep, the stakes just may be life or death.

Nearly fifty years later, mod English model Veronica Weber has her own chance to make her career—and with it, earn the money she needs to support her family back home—within the walls of the former Frick residence, now converted into one of New York City's most impressive museums. But when she—along with a charming intern/budding art curator named Joshua—is dismissed from the Vogue shoot taking place at the Frick Collection, she chances upon a series of hidden messages in the museum: messages that will lead her and Joshua on a hunt that could not only solve Veronica's financial woes, but could finally reveal the truth behind a decades-old murder in the infamous Frick family.

In Do You Believe in Me witness a family torn apart by addiction through the eyes of a determined daughter. As her parents' lives shatter she becomes the pillar of strength, rallying her siblings to stand together in the face of adversity.

This poignant tale portrays the unbreakable bonds of family, forged through love and shared hardship. With a mix of heartrending honesty and moments of levity, the author paints a vivid picture of their journey. Can their collective love and resilience lead to redemption, or will they be forever defined by their fractured past?

Join this family on a transformative path from loss to healing in a narrative that explores the power of human connection, making Do You Believe in Me a compelling and inspiring read.

His job is to vanquish the demon threat. But when a mortal woman gets stuck in the crossfire, can he protect her from the new target on her back?

Titan is second-in-command of the fallen sentinel angels, a fearsome group of earthbound angels who are tasked with protecting heaven from the demon charmers. The eternal struggle has cost many lives, one of which Titan still blames himself for six months later. But when a mortal woman becomes a target of his enemy, he saves her—only to discover she looks just like the woman he lost months ago.

Not a day goes by that Rose Meyer doesn’t spend looking for her twin sister. With a newfound lead at her fingertips, she heads out in search of clues to her sister’s whereabouts. What she finds, however, is a frightening magic user intent on killing her—and a hulking angel of gleaming metallic titanium who shuttles her out of the kill zone.

And refuses to let her out of his protection.

Her touch has sparked a celestial power in him that has been lost since he and his brothers fell. But as Titan’s power grows, so does the mysterious bond between him and the woman occupying his every thought. When they learn that Rose unknowingly possesses what the demons are searching for, their deep connection is tested as tensions run high. Because this elemental angel refuses to put her in harm’s way. Even if it means shattering his heart in the process.

Dive into this gripping self-help narrative that explores the hidden world of covert narcissism within families.

Emma, born into the illusion of a perfect life, confronts the stark reality of a toxic family system led by a covertly narcissistic mother and a narcissistic-sadistic father. Behind closed doors, manipulation thrives, shrouded by external prosperity and a facade of good upbringing.

As Emma navigates the complexities of her seemingly idyllic family, the narrative unveils the decades-long web of manipulative tactics that have bound her in chains of abuse – both physical and psychological.

In her late 30s—amidst a personal crisis—Emma's awakening begins. In shedding light on the darkness, she unravels not only a long-held family secret but a pervasive web of deceit that she unknowingly perpetuated.

I Love You When... is more than just a fictional tale. It's a poignant exploration of covert narcissism, a force often overlooked but profoundly impactful.

Through Emma's raw and compelling story, readers gain insight into the subtle and insidious nature of narcissistic trauma within families. The narrative illustrates that healing from such trauma is not only possible but essential in breaking the cycle of abuse in future relationships.

Join Emma on her journey from darkness to light, and discover a path toward hope, self-discovery, and ultimately freedom.

WINNER OF THE 2016 ILLUMINATION BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDAL FOR CHRISTIAN EBOOK FICTION

Travel photojournalist Chloe McConnaughey thought she understood her brother Tate—a brilliant programmer willing to compromise anything to get ahead. She just didn’t know that included her.

When Tate dies unexpectedly, Chloe copes by taking an assignment in the Caribbean where she meets Jack, a charming Manhattan escapee who almost has her believing life could turn around. But the illusion is shattered when a series of bizarre incidents leaves them framed for murder and running from killers convinced that Chloe is the key to questions Tate left behind. Suddenly Jack’s timely entrance into her life seems more than coincidental, but with nowhere else to turn, Chloe must trust this man who is not only charming, but also dangerous, and much better at evading capture than he should be. Strained to the breaking point by a life consistently marked by tragedy, Chloe fights a sense of hopelessness, confronting the age-old question: if it’s not all random—if God does exist—why would He allow bad things to happen to good people?

Hunted from the tiny island of St. Gideon all the way to Miami, Chloe and Jack desperately search for the evidence that will prove their innocence and eliminate them as targets of the shadowy conspiracy that will stop at nothing to make its problems go away.

Good and evil are not always what they seem, close friends can be deadly enemies, and loyalty can sometimes be rewarded with treachery. Even if Qualtan can grow from these lessons, a greater one will need to be faced: can an unexpected friendship with a thief of orcne blood, despised by all, support his chance for knighthood, or ruin it altogether?

On August 4, 1940, the Seattle Times featured a photo of a toddler sitting on a dock, surrounded by suitcases and looking dazed. After a harrowing journey with her parents, she’d just stepped off a boat and into her new life in America. Barbara Sommer Feigin was that little girl.
Over seventy years later, Feigin made a stunning discovery: her Jewish father had kept a detailed journal that chronicled their family’s escape from Nazi Germany. Her parents had never spoken of it, and she remembered nothing of their terrifying, death-defying passage three-quarters of the way around the world—from Berlin to Seattle by way of Lithuania, Russia, China, Korea, and Japan before crossing the Pacific.

Featuring three intertwining narratives, My American Dream is a memoir of resilience, grit, and grace. Feigin tells of her life as a young German-speaking refugee living in a small Washington town and yearning to become an “authentic” American. She details how she became a trailblazing executive in the advertising business in New York City—a completely male-dominated business in the 1960s—rising from the ranks and ultimately securing a seat in the executive boardroom. A devoted wife and mom of three sons (including one set of twins), she spent twenty-five years as a caregiver for her husband, who suffered two serious strokes, and remained fiercely committed to building strong family bonds during turbulent times.

Despite overwhelming odds, her parents’ grueling journey to America has fueled Feigin’s lifelong resolve to dream big, work hard, and never quit. My American Dream is an inspiring tale of love, dedication, and how uncovering the past and preserving history can inform your identity.

“This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com.”—Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR

Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her “princess of pop” image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is. 

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room—but only until her car is fixed—then she’s on her own. 

Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose—she’s Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can’t help but get close to her. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more. 

Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

*The instant New York Times bestseller*

The untold story of four of the most decorated soldiers of World War II—all Medal of Honor recipients—from the beaches of French Morocco to Hitler’s own mountaintop fortress, by the national bestselling author of The First Wave

“Pitch-perfect.”—The Wall Street Journal • “Riveting.”—World War II magazine • “Alex Kershaw is the master of putting the reader in the heat of the action.”—Martin Dugard

As the Allies raced to defeat Hitler, four men, all in the same unit, earned medal after medal for battlefield heroism. Maurice “Footsie” Britt, a former professional football player, became the very first American to receive every award for valor in a single war. Michael Daly was a West Point dropout who risked his neck over and over to keep his men alive. Keith Ware would one day become the first and only draftee in history to attain the rank of general before serving in Vietnam. In WWII, Ware owed his life to the finest soldier he ever commanded, a baby-faced Texan named Audie Murphy. In the campaign to liberate Europe, each would gain the ultimate accolade, the Congressional Medal of Honor.
 
Tapping into personal interviews and a wealth of primary source material, Alex Kershaw has delivered his most gripping account yet of American courage, spanning more than six hundred days of increasingly merciless combat, from the deserts of North Africa to the dark heart of Nazi Germany. Once the guns fell silent, these four exceptional warriors would discover just how heavy the Medal of Honor could be—and how great the expectations associated with it. Having survived against all odds, who among them would finally find peace?
