Book excerpt: The "sublimely awkward and hilarious" (Chicago Tribune), National Book Award "5 Under 35"-garnering first novel from the acclaimed author of The New Me--now in a new edition Twenty-four-year-old Megan may have her whole life ahead of her, but it already feels like a dead end, thanks to her dreadful job as a gastroenterologist's receptionist and her heart-clogging resentment of the success and happiness of everyone around her. But no one stokes Megan's bitterness quite like her coworker, Jillian, a grotesquely optimistic, thirty-five-year-old single mother whose chirpy positivity obscures her mounting struggles. Megan and Jillian's lives become increasingly precarious as their faulty coping mechanisms--denial, self-help books, alcohol, religion, prescription painkillers, obsessive criticism, alienated boyfriends, and, in Jillian's case, the misguided purchase of a dog--send them spiraling toward their downfalls. Wickedly authentic and brutally funny, Jillian is a subversive portrait of two women trapped in cycles of self-delusion and self-destruction, each more like the other than they would care to admit.

Book excerpt: There is a famous quote which says, "The truth will set you free!" The word truth connects with other words such as 'fact' or 'reality.' However, what do you do when your facts and past reality are ugly? Do you welcome the truth for freedom sake or do you embrace spirit binding words like secret, hidden, or lies? Our 'Ugly Truth' is what shapes us and can work to our detriment or for our good. In this memoir, Jillian Coburn shares her riveting story through the journey of abuse, addiction, and her quest to freedom, self-love, and wholeness. A balance between a powerful story and tools to break the chains that bind many, My Ugly Truth: Life Beyond Abuse aims to spark the conversations and support that will heal families from addiction and abuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unbelievable, true occurrence in todays modern society. An injustice waiting to be answered for. Everyday people are victims to crimes, but how these victims and crimes are addressed are not always the same. The outcomes of criminal proceedings often vary. When you are the victim, that is not always the case. Does a kind, innocent, and slightly naive woman like Jillian always get treated fairly or taken seriously for her humility and compassion in our world? Chester L. King uses the personality of the character of Jillian as a comparison to his own wifes kind, softhearted personality to tell the true story from his own perspective of the real criminal injustices and experiences that she encountered in this short, direct, unique, and challenging publication.

Book excerpt: The “inspiring and beautifully told” story of one mother’s determination to help her child overcome amblyopia (Susan R. Barry, PhD, author of Coming to Our Senses). Vision challenges present a real and devastating problem among children in the USA—the correlation between vision-related learning challenges and juvenile delinquency is shocking. Jillian’s Story: How Vision Therapy Changed My Daughter’s Life shares how one family triumphed over vision problems. At the age of five, Jillian Benoit was diagnosed with amblyopia, a condition in which a child is born with good vision in one eye and extremely weak vision in the other—Jillian had been legally blind in one eye since birth, and no one knew it. After receiving the diagnosis, the Benoit family embarked on a six-year journey to improve Jillian’s vision. It wasn’t until after eye patches, thick glasses, visits to doctors’ offices, and constant struggles with academics that Robin Benoit took matters into her own hands and discovered the wonders of vision therapy. A truly inspiring tale of determination, Jillian’s Story offers a deeply personal account along with life-changing information on vision therapy. “A fascinating book that should be required reading for any parent who is struggling with the challenges of a child who is a victim of medical system that is sometimes blind.” —Todd Huston, author of More Than Mountains “Jillian’s parents prove that knowledge and answers are out there if people have the endurance to find them—a true and beautiful message of faith, hope, and love.” —Carol Dean Schreiner, author of Laugh for the Health of It!

Jillian lives with a trusted and dependable friend, Charlie. They had a unique friendship and living arrangement that was comfortable for both of them. Jillian, although happy with the arrangement, felt that one day it would end. She wanted that typical life with a husband and family and did not see that as being a desire for Charlie’s future. He was a wealthy and handsome young man whose goal in life seemed to revolve around fun. While planning a trip in which Jillian would spend two full weeks alone, Charlie challenges her to take a guest with her. She fights the idea at first, but reluctantly after losing a bet over the subject, Charlie had gotten himself in on the trip. Secretly Jillian was pleased that events had unfolded that way. Charlie spiced up her normal trip with new and exciting adventures. When he was suddenly called away from the trip Jillian was sad. In the time left on her trip she pined for Charlie’s company. Upon arriving home she confides to Charlie that it is him that she loves and longs to be with. Charlie in return admits he feels the same. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
