Book excerpt: The two people who compiled (and contributed) their own stories have over a dozen chronic illnesses between them. They and the other 19 writers want you to know what it's like. How do they, as "chronics," deal with walking into a medical office and being called "odd" or "complex" or "interesting?" How much should they tell others-and whose business is it anyway? Where do they find the patience to try medication after medication and deal with the unpleasant side effects? How do they stay positive in the face of never-ending symptoms and no cure? How do they deal with the fact that they seem okay, and look great on the outside, while silently suffering inside? As they seek answers and solutions, they ask: Can't Someone Fix What Ails Me? It's all very tough to handle. As you read these stories, see the writers' resilience, strength and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Spirit Is Like the Eagle begins with a poem sharing its title with the book. The central image of the poet as an eagle provides a unique introduction to the variety of themes in this poetry collection. Some verses soar high above the landscape, while others swoop down from the heights to grasp the small gestures that make up daily life. Poet Roy Forrester has Parkinsons disease, and it has changed his world dramatically. What began as a poem to his wife expressing his love for her has turned into a dynamic collection of poetry on many different topics, from love and passion to humour. He also writes of the frustrations he encounters with his disease. This debut poetry collection represents the end of a long journey for Forrester, and he invites you to join him in considering that journey. My spirit is like the eagle. It is an illusion that I am bound to this earth by an aging body. It is an illusion, as is life itself. It is an illusion that this existence is finite. My spirit is like the eagle. I, too, scan the earth below, and though I search for sustenance, sustenance for my soul, it is the beauty of the journey which fulfils me. from My Spirit Is Like the Eagle

Book excerpt: From the author of the New York Times bestselling Bad Boys novels comes the second book in a dark, sexy contemporary trilogy. He’s a fighter who never loses, but is he tough enough to win her heart? There was a time when I had everything–a wonderful family, a bright future. Love. But all that was taken away in a single night, torn from me like flesh from bone. Since then, I’ve hidden away in my second-choice job as a makeup artist. But I prefer it that way, actually. I’m comfortable in the shadows, where no one can see my scars. Kiefer Rogan literally took my breath away the moment I met him. MMA champion-turned-actor, notorious playboy, charming to a fault—he’s everything I vowed to avoid. But he just wouldn’t stop until I opened up and let him in. Maybe I should’ve tried harder to resist him. Maybe I shouldn’t have fallen in love with him. Because I, of all people, know that everyone has secrets. Scars. And that they’re usually ugly and painful and destructive to the people we love most. I just never guessed that they could be deadly, too.

Book excerpt: Filled with warmth and tender insights, Heart of Glass follows the unforgettable Fairwyn March from young adulthood through midlife during the final decades of the nineteenth century. A free-spirited beauty whose life brims with mountain lore and dulcimer music, Fairwyn disastrously loses her heart to the ambitions of a man who wants only to change her. Determined to be everything her husband wants, she gives up the core of herself. Then one day, she discovers a secret that shatters her world. Sending herself into self-imposed exile, Fairwyn allows her family to believe her dead. Her journey takes her across the continent–and into the landscape of her heart. In the most unlikely of places–California’s decaying Mission San Juan Capistrano–she meets another exile in need of healing. Bound together in tender friendship, they also discover hope in God’s promise of love without condition. A spellbinding journey into the human heart. From the Trade Paperback edition.

We met an intentional community having locations spanning the globe, their own government, a tall ship for trading overseas, organic farms, soap shops, biodiesel and solar energy. My husband joined. Alcohol and drugs were prohibited. I followed. I became ill. Touting sickness and death to be punishment for sin, their leaders proclaimed God smote me over insubordination to men. Years later I found proof God wasn’t to blame, involved possibly. Something supernatural had transpired when I survived. Keeping a journal, capturing details, crippled and bleeding internally, I left, sought medical attention, got divorced, emerged a single mother, and began my recovery. It wasn’t their intention, but I made it out alive! Never underestimate your power ... you just might unleash a Phoenix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 Minnesota Book Award Finalist in Memoir & Creative Nonfiction “A bridge shouldn’t just fall down,” Senator Amy Klobuchar said after the August 1, 2007, collapse of the Minneapolis I-35W eight-lane steel truss bridge, which killed 13 motorists, injured 145, and left a collective wound on the city’s psyche and infrastructure. On her way to a soccer game with a fellow teammate, Kimberly J. Brown experienced the collapse firsthand, falling 114 feet in her teammate’s car to the Mississippi River. Although terrified, injured, and in shock, she survived. In this sobering memoir and exposé, Brown recounts her harrowing experience. In the aftermath of the disaster, Brown became both an advocate for survivors and an unofficial whistle-blower about decaying infrastructure. She details her investigation and correspondence with Thornton Tomasetti engineers, including the false official account of the collapse and the eventual revelation of its real causes. In addition, she chronicles the ongoing decay of America’s bridges and the continuing challenges faced by leaders to address infrastructure problems across the country. After nearly a decade of research into the collapse and her active and ongoing recovery from psychic and physical injuries, Brown shares her experience and answers the questions we should all be asking: Why did this bridge collapse? And what could have been done to prevent this tragedy?
