YOUR BODY IS NOT A PROBLEM TO SOLVE. IT IS THE PLACE YOU COME HOME TO.

In a world driven by speed, digital noise, and constant striving, we have become exiles in our own skin. We treat our bodies like machines to be fixed-battling chronic pain, anxiety, and exhaustion-while searching outside ourselves for peace. But the silence we seek is not found in escaping the body; it is found in returning to it.

Coming Home to Embodied Awakening is your map for that return.

Guided by internationally renowned Qigong Master Mingtong Gu, this book offers a gentle, powerful path back to wholeness. At its heart is Wisdom Healing Qigong, an ancient practice that combines slow, flowing movements, natural breathing, and focused awareness to restore the body's natural flow of energy.

Stop thinking your way to healing. Start feeling your way home.

In these pages, you'll discover how to:

• Shift from "Fixing" to "Feeling" Transform pain and self-judgment into presence.
• Awaken Vitality: Calm the nervous system and reclaim your energy in minutes a day.
• Heal the Exile: Support recovery from chronic stress and trauma.
• Turn Movement into Prayer: Transform everyday actions into a living spiritual practice.

From the award-winning author of the best-selling Tristan Strong trilogy comes the sequel to Jax Freeman and the Phantom Shriek--a magical series about a special boy who is granted summoning powers from his ancestors.

Seventh grader Jackson "Jax" Freeman recently learned two important facts: one, he's a summoner--someone who can call on the magical powers of his ancestors to help him do amazing things--and two, he isn't the only person with this ability.

After much training, Jax and four of his summoner classmates from DuSable Middle school in Chicago are thrust into a competition called the Tournament of Spirits where they'll face the most skilled summoners from around the world.

But while everyone is focused on winning, Jax is given a special side quest by the elders of the four magical families: he has to spy on each of the competitors--including his own teammates--in order to uncover who is releasing endangered, and very dangerous, cryptids into the arena.

Can Jax take the top spot in the tournament and save himself and his friends from a mysterious foe?

Kwame Mbalia's incredible imagination and world-building talents are on full display in this thrilling adventure that's packed with magic, friendship, non-stop action, and a lot of heart.

Fans of Rebecca Serle and Christina Lauren will adore this immersive contemporary romance set in Italy.

Ava Graham's ducks are in a row as she heads off to Italy to complete her final law school credits and fulfill a promise she made to her late mother five years ago. Ava expects her long-term boyfriend to propose before her trip, but instead of giving her a ring, he suggests they use her time abroad as a "break" before settling down.

When James Massini arrives-late-to the airport to pick up Ava as a favor to his aunt and uncle, he's surprised to find that she's not a young co-ed, but a fascinating woman approaching thirty with a serious superiority complex and a habit of underestimating him. When she's assigned to his class as a TA, he becomes determined to prove to her that there is more to life than plans and lists, no matter how hard she fights with him-or how annoyingly charming he finds their banter.

Despite the sudden disaster of her life, type A Ava might actually enjoy Italy-if only annoyingly carefree James wasn't there, too. As Ava reluctantly lets James try to show her a different way of life in Italy, she begins to find beauty in the chaos. Of course, it's when things begin to make sense again that her past comes storming back.

With a humorously relatable protagonist and a rich Italian setting, this debut novel is an escapist treat and a necessary reminder that life doesn't always care about the plans we've made for ourselves.

The breathtaking true story of the return of wild bison to the Rockies, as told by the wildlife biologist who helped lead them there.

Featuring behind-the-scenes photographs from one of North America's most ambitious conservation projects.

For thousands of years, wild bison numbering in the millions roamed across a range spanning half of North America. Then, in the 1800s, they were nearly exterminated by European settlers. Buffalo Lessons shares the story of their triumphant return to a mountainous corner of their historic range, nearly a century and a half after they last walked the land.

Karsten Heuer, the conservationist tasked with leading the project, chronicles the groundbreaking reintroduction of plains bison to Banff National Park, beginning in 2017, when ten pregnant females and six males were airlifted into an enclosed pasture. It was a complex and ambitious project, designed to restore North America's largest land mammal to its important ecological role in the landscape and its cultural role for Indigenous peoples. Despite meticulous planning, Heuer and his team found themselves repeatedly "buffaloed" by the animals, who had a knack for doing the unexpected, and teaching the humans lessons along the way.

Heuer packs his narrative with thrilling moments: a horseback chase to tranquilize a bison, a helicopter-assisted translocation into the rugged backcountry, and the tense tracking of wayward bulls that scale steep, treacherous terrain. Throughout, his encounters with these massive creatures--both awe-inspiring and humbling--force him to confront his assumptions about control, nature, and conservation.

In 2024, Heuer was diagnosed with a terminal brain condition, and he completed the manuscript for Buffalo Lessons in the weeks and days before his death. His narrative ends seven years after the initial introduction, with a thriving population of around one hundred bison and the organization of the first Indigenous hunt in the region in over 150 years. Buffalo Lessons stands as a testament to the resilience of bison, and as the culmination of a life's work in conservation.

"Replete with emotional interactions that bring the sisters and their world to life, The Cassatt Sisters is hard to put down, intensely revealing, and a work of art itself." -Midwest Book Review

In 1877, the Paris art scene is very competitive for men but nearly impossible for thirty-three-year-old Mary Cassatt, an American woman. Bored by traditional methods of painting, she admires the work of avant-garde painters, especially Edgar Degas. So, when Edgar visits Mary's studio to view her paintings, she is exhilarated by his invitation to join him, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and other Impressionists in the collective.

Meeting the standards of the Impressionists is nerve-racking. Mary is judged not only as a painter but as a woman. She takes comfort in her close bond with her sister, Lydia, who often poses for her. But Mary's growing attraction to Edgar threatens to derail the plans Mary and Lydia have made for their future. When an opportunity arises to work side by side with Edgar, Mary begins a clandestine love affair that utterly upends her life and career.

In The Cassatt Sisters, author Lisa Groen paints a dazzling picture of Belle Époque Paris and the extraordinary life of artist Mary Cassatt during her time with the Impressionists. At the heart of this compelling historical novel is an age-old question: What must a woman sacrifice to live a life of freedom and accomplishment?

Marty, a young Mountain Lion that does not eat meat, is a bit of a "troubled teenager." One evening, he has a disagreement with his mother and is sent to his room without dinner.

Under the light of a full moon, he makes a dash for the creek. Marty's father went for a walk down this very creek one year ago and never returned. The young hungry lion makes a brave decision to find out what really happened to his father. His adventure begins as he sets off on a quest for answers. Unlikely individuals form friendships while uncovering the truth about Marty's father. The search for answers quickly turns into a rescue mission that takes the new friends to the most breathtaking and treacherous land they have ever seen.
