Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-four-year old Taylor Henning has just landed her dream job as an assistant at a major movie studio. But when her catty coworkers trick her into almost getting fired, she realizes that the old saying "Hollywood is like school with money" just may be true. The thing is, Taylor wasn't exactly a social butterfly in high school-how is she supposed to do any better the second time around? That's when she meets her boss's popular sixteen-year-old daughter Quinn, and has an epiphany: maybe this teenager can teach her how to use her queen bee tactics to succeed in the Hollywood popularity contest. Quinn comes up with a plan to teach Taylor one lesson a week-everything from "Fake it 'til you make it" to "It's *never* your fault"--and soon Taylor finds herself winning the war against rival assistant Kylie. Until, that is, she's directed to steal Kylie's boyfriend, and something happens that's not in the game plan: Taylor falls for the guy. Now she must do the impossible-- harness her inner mean girl while staying true to herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story begins during the Korean War with Nancy, a simple girl raised by her older brother after her parents die. During her high school years, she meets a Christian friend and becomes a believer through her friend's evangelism. She's excited to be a Christian and vows she'll live the rest of her life as a nun. But life and love intervene. Nancy studies to be a nurse, falls in love with and marries Godo, gives birth to two sons, and ultimately moves to the United States. On her death bed, she confesses her broken vow to her son, Jinwoo. He enters a monastery to fulfill his mother's vow. In A Martyr's Descendant: A Story of a Vowed Son, author Alexander T. Pak tells this story. It's a story of immigrants and sojourners on earth. It tells the tale of those who didn't realize their hopes and dreams. It's not a pretty story, but it communicates a message of hope, a reason to live because it is a story of triumph.
