Book excerpt: By the author of Morning Star—in an Amish community built on faith and second chances, two young lovers see if they can start over. Founded by three Amish sisters determined to put misfortune behind them, Promise Lodge is a colony where faith’s abiding promise can be fulfilled—and love can make all things new… Energetic widow Mattie Bender Schwartz is working day and night to get Promise Lodge going. She's also hoping the change will help her son Noah’s heart to heal after his broken engagement. But his former fiancée, Deborah, is looking for a fresh start too. Filled with regret, and cast out by her dat for a reason she can’t yet reveal, Deborah can only pray Noah will forgive her foolishness. Deborah is the last person Noah expected to show up at Promise Lodge. But with her cruel words still ringing in his head, he's reluctant to accept her apology—even if the Old Order ways demand he try. If only he could obey Christ’s most important commandment: love one another. But one thing is certain—his mother and aunts, and their beloved Preacher Amos, will do their best to help him get there. Praise for Promise Lodge “Hubbard firmly grounds the storyline in the principle of Amish grace.”—Publishers Weekly “Hubbard writes of healing and brave new beginnings from a refreshingly feminist perspective.”—Booklist (starred review) Praise for Charlotte Hubbard's Seasons of the Heart series "Another great book centered around the Sweet Seasons Café." --RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars "These very special books will sit proudly on my keeper shelf!" --Romance Reviews Today

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age of demagogues, hostile great powers and trade wars, foreign policy traditionalists dream of restoring liberal international order. This order, they claim, ushered in seventy years of peace and prosperity and saw post-war America domesticate the world to its values. The False Promise of Liberal Order exposes the flaws in this nostalgic vision. The world shaped by America came about as a result of coercion and, sometimes brutal, compromise. Liberal projects – to spread capitalist democracy – led inadvertently to illiberal results. To make peace, America made bargains with authoritarian forces. Even in the Pax Americana, the gentlest order yet, ordering was rough work. As its power grew, Washington came to believe that its order was exceptional and even permanent – a mentality that has led to spiralling deficits, permanent war and Trump. Romanticizing the liberal order makes it harder to adjust to today’s global disorder. Only by confronting the false promise of liberal order and adapting to current realities can the United States survive as a constitutional republic in a plural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awaken Your Inner ButterflyThis book is about the transformation process. It is about changing your life. It is about becoming. We all experience pain at least at some points in our life and we all wish to improve our life, to grow and to heal. But how can you heal?Transformation happens whether you are consciously aware of it or not. If you are aware and feel the desire for change, you are at the starting point of a conscious shift in your life. Perhaps you have become aware of something that could improve or you have a general sense of discontent. Perhaps you are in pain. Perhaps you feel that something is missing in your life. Whatever the feeling, you have realized that something could be better. With this belief, you have opened up a space to grow into. It is as if you have suddenly discovered a window, and become aware of the life outside, where new possibilities and adventures await. Whether you are grappling with physical, mental-emotional or spiritual issues, this book will guide you through steps to examine your life, heal wounds and transform situations. And with this you will discover an increase in love and joy in your life experiences.In this book you will find tools to help you expand in to better life experiences and therefore into a better life. This expansion into new life experiences is called transformation. And whether we want it or not, transformation is part of our life. We cannot remain in any set form, because life is always changing. Life moves on and there is always a next step, a new door to open, food to digest, oxygen to breathe, the cocoon to leave, the wings to grow and then take flight as we soar to new heights... Just like the caterpillar, that thought his life was over before he became a butterfly, we often look upon our impending transformations with fear. This book offers tools to help you through life's many transformations, and to consciously take the next step. The Transformation Promise presents you with the understanding and the tools you need to shift, to heal and to transform.Even without doing the exercises this book will guide you to connect consciously with life-force-energy and a continuously increasing love within. It will show you how to use forgiveness and gratitude so you can heal and transform everything you encounter or have encountered.The Transformation Promise will help you to awaken your inner butterfly!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The imagined land of Eem is home to an awkward Orser named Apt, who isn't, and a host of outrageous and nonsensical characters. Our story begins as Apt makes a spectacular blunder (on purpose) and falls headlong into a course of strange actions. Fleeing her employer's wrath, Apt takes refuge with the Antiquarian, remembering his past kindnesses. However, the years have changed him much, and Apt cannot bear to stay. In the interest of her own survival, and with the assistance of the Antiquarian's super-sentient Cat, she 'borrows' a folio of arcane secrets. Promising to return it, Apt escapes to the local catacombs. Upon emerging, transformed, Apt will head to the local public house and encounter the Poet. With this romantic young man, she will make various discoveries, among them that she is at the center of a search for the broken Harp of Don Juana Lucia, an ancient instrument that possesses the power to heal all who hear it and assures its owner of fame and glory. But a shadowy villain, also hunting the Harp for his own wicked ends, watches from the wings and waits for the perfect moment to strike... A lyrical classic, this galloping adventure will charm and bemuse readers of all ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to challenge the broken-windows theory of crime, which argues that permitting minor misdemeanors, such as loitering and vagrancy, to go unpunished only encourages more serious crime. The theory has revolutionized policing in the United States and abroad, with its emphasis on policies that crack down on disorderly conduct and aggressively enforce misdemeanor laws. The problem, argues Bernard Harcourt, is that although the broken-windows theory has been around for nearly thirty years, it has never been empirically verified. Indeed, existing data suggest that it is false. Conceptually, it rests on unexamined categories of law abiders and disorderly people and of order and disorder, which have no intrinsic reality, independent of the techniques of punishment that we implement in our society. How did the new order-maintenance approach to criminal justice--a theory without solid empirical support, a theory that is conceptually flawed and results in aggressive detentions of tens of thousands of our fellow citizens--come to be one of the leading criminal justice theories embraced by progressive reformers, policymakers, and academics throughout the world? This book explores the reasons why. It also presents a new, more thoughtful vision of criminal justice.

Book excerpt: Aileen Riley’s not sure she belongs at Shady Forks any longer. Sure, she loves the kids. She loves being a nanny. And Theresa’s still her best friend, but… So, what’s a gal to do when she needs to leave? She takes a page from Theresa’s book and answers an advertisement for a mail order bride. She doesn’t expect to find herself married under suspicious circumstances. She doesn’t expect to find a lot of things. And yet she does. Now she’s missing the Winchesters, she’s in danger, and she’s scared for her life. Donald Ferris isn’t the type who likes to be deceitful, but when his boss asks him to perpetrate a deception on a young woman who’s answered a mail order bride ad, well, a fella can’t say no, can he? No, Donald can’t. Not to the man who’s been almost like a father to him for the last decade. So he goes on with the charade, hating himself for it. And then really hating himself after he meets the lovely Aileen. Now Donald’s in a jam. Can he tell her the truth? Would she forgive him?
