Light Between the Leaves: 6 Truths Your Therapist Won't Tell You about Healing Depression and Trauma
Drawing on psychology, lived experience, and the environments that shaped his own recovery, a clinical psychologist introduces a way of understanding the mind as an ecosystem--one that must be supported, stabilized, and nourished before it can truly change. For many people, therapy, medication, and self-help advice provide insight--but not relief. They understand why they feel the way they do, yet still feel numb, disconnected, or emotionally distant from their own lives. The Light Between the Leaves, by Dr. Scott Eilers, sheds light on why certain minds require a different framework for healing. Known to many as "The Depression Doctor," Dr. Scott is a clinical psychologist who has spent decades working with people whose depression, trauma, and emotional disconnection do not respond fully to conventional approaches. During his own struggle with disabling depression and self-isolation, Eilers found his way out through nontraditional methods--like reconnecting with nature in the area where he was raised. As he grew up immersed in the wild tapestry of the lakes region, he observed patterns of the natural world that eventually transformed his understanding of how we view and preserve mental well-being. Through six core truths, Dr. Scott weaves together story, science, and practical application into the map he never had to help readers:
- Understand why joy, comfort, and connection can feel inaccessible even when life appears "fine"
- Recognize why positive moments fade quickly while emotional lows feel permanent
- See why therapy can help yet still leave gaps for certain forms of depression and trauma
- Identify the internal systems that quietly block emotional recovery
- Learn how to rebuild the pathways that allow positive experiences to register and last
- Move from simply functioning to genuinely feeling again
A judgement- and jargon-free guide for those whose needs cut deeper than most, The Light Between the Leaves invites readers to explore clear glacial lakes, sprawling northern forests, and surprising detours through darkness and wonder on the road to improved mental health and reconnecting with the world. -

Champions of Justice: Book 1: The Rise of the Super Athletes
What they were told was an opportunity. What waited was a trap. Five inner-city junior high athletes - a track star, a gymnast, a hockey player, a football prodigy, and a basketball player - each receive the same mysterious gold-trimmed invitation: compete for life-changing scholarships at the grandest athletic event of the year. They accept. They arrive. And then everything changes. Behind the glittering lights of the competition hides a sinister plot orchestrated by a shadowy mastermind known as Keres - the Evil Genius. His goal? To harvest their DNA, weaponise their gifts, and build an unstoppable army. But the experiment doesn't go as planned. Instead of creating obedient soldiers, Keres accidentally unlocks something extraordinary within each of them. Jamal becomes BLAZE - moving faster than lightning itself.
Maria becomes FLEX - bending in ways no human should.
Malik becomes FROST - commanding ice with terrifying precision.
Tyrone becomes CANNON - launching projectiles with supersonic force.
Maya becomes LEAP - defying gravity with every stride. Now, with two unexpected allies - Magnus, a chess prodigy who thinks ten moves ahead, and Melody, a musical genius who can bend sound itself (and who has a very personal reason to bring the Evil Genius down) - the five athletes must master their powers, trust each other, and confront a villain whose plans extend far beyond one laboratory. But stopping him once may not be enough. Because the darkness they defeated... is already watching. The Champions of Justice is an action-packed middle-grade superhero series that celebrates courage, diversity, teamwork, and the belief that true power comes not from what you can do - but from who you choose to be. The Champions of Justice will return. -
