How to survive ambiguous loss, by a mom who lost her son to psychosis and then to suicide.

What mom expects her honor-student son to one day barricade a bathroom in their home to lock away "demons?" Who can imagine a beloved child behind jail Plexiglas, his eyes vacant? How does a mom sleep knowing her son is homeless, sleeping rough in a city park, his life tattered by his disordered mind? In Gone Before Gone, Clark describes her son's "death by degrees" during a young adulthood wrecked by severe mental illness.

Surviving a parent's nightmare led to Clark's memoir of self-help-a toolkit for living with "ambiguous loss," a term coined by Pauline Boss, PhD, an academic, author, and long-time family therapist. Trained by Boss herself, Clark has blended Boss' concepts with her own experiences and the coping skills she's cultivated as a long-time yoga teacher.

The result is a book like none other. Part memoir, part survival guide, complete with practical exercises. You'll feel as though a kind mom is holding your hand and helping you breathe as you bravely take one step at a time toward healing yourself.

"We are everywhere."

We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings carrying the light within us.

After losing his parents, Gilbert Martina worried that his father's collective wisdom from his Curaçao ancestors and his mother's spiritual guidance were forever lost. Instead, he received clear instructions: he needed to carry their legacy to the world.

Healthy Minds, Healthy Nation is a deeply personal portrait of one man's search for solace while maintaining his health and moral integrity. It is a homecoming for everyone who feels they do not fit in, who longs to find true acceptance and understanding.

Healthy Minds, Healthy Nations introduces transcendental meditation and shamanism to transform your consciousness. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal growth, even in moments filled with physical pain and suffering. It encourages you to use your light to heal yourself--and to be a lightworker to change the world.

Growing up in a mixed Greek and German household, the author was raised in a loud Chicago home shaped by tradition, contradiction, and unspoken rules. As the youngest of six, he learned early how to stand out and how to survive.

Through vivid memories of family rituals, Catholic schooling, and the pop culture of the 1960s and 1970s, this memoir captures both the warmth and the confinement of childhood. Beneath it all lie experiences of bullying, trauma, and alienation that quietly shaped his sense of identity.

Adolescence brings rebellion through drugs, risk, and restless searching, but also an unexpected refuge in theater. Onstage, he finds confidence, belonging, and a voice that had long been silenced.

Threaded with themes of longing, self discovery, and the pursuit of the impossible dream, this memoir is an unflinching reflection on resilience, creativity, and the courage it takes to tell one's truth.

I followed the path I was told would lead to stability and purpose. I went to college and fought my way out of Queens, shaped by a first-generation American upbringing in a Haitian household led by a single mother who modeled resilience long before I had the language for it. I learned early how to survive, how to adapt, and how to find joy anyway on New York City streets and in dreaming beyond my zip code. That resilience carried me into a career in global diplomacy. I built a life serving on the frontlines of USAID and working across Africa and Southeast Asia to advance public health outcomes and resilience. For years, the vision was coming together. I finally reached the bridge to the life I had spent decades building. Then the bridge collapsed.

This is not a story about a single failure. It is a memoir of endurance inside systems that quietly work against the people who serve them. As a Black woman in the Foreign Service, I navigated global health crises, shrinking aid budgets, institutional burnout, and the unspoken costs of leadership. At the same time, I became a caregiver to my mother as she entered dementia, returning emotionally and physically to the role that first shaped me. I loved through pain, carried responsibility while depleted, and continued to lead even as grief took hold. It was an education in how grief, responsibility, and leadership coexist. But this is also a story about living. About friendship, laughter, late nights, music, and learning how to belong in places far from home. About falling in love along the way, and about discovering parts of myself that only emerged when I allowed joy to exist alongside duty. This book examines what happens when leadership demands certainty while life offers none. When diplomacy is dismantled. When careers fracture. When caregiving collides with duty. When the second act arrives without warning. It is also a story of movement, curiosity, and wonder. It is about learning cultures through food, language, rhythm, and people. It is about how travel can be both an escape and an education. And it is about discovering that while escape is an illusion, building a life of meaning and purpose is not.

This memoir is for:

• Women who refuse to be defined by where they come from or what the system predicts.
• First-generation Americans and children of immigrants carving their own paths.
• Young people navigating identity, ambition, and uncertain futures.
• Caregivers carrying loss while still being expected to perform.
• Travelers and the curious at heart who want to experience the beauty of cultures and glimpse the raw unscripted reality of life in the Foreign Service.
• Anyone seeking to understand the deep fulfillment of a life rooted in service, resilience, and purpose.

Poise. Obedience. Purpose.

Within the walls of a secluded facility that reforms troubled girls into obedient daughters, there are only two options: graduate or disappear. Erased and rebuilt from the ruins of herself, Maysie knows little about the future she's training for, let alone the world outside. Daily sedatives, posture drills, and the constant reminder to smile shape the only life she's ever known.

She considers herself lucky. She has friends who keep her calm, rules to keep her safe, and a future she's been taught to want. The guidance of armed enforcers and watchful doctors is a small price to pay for the promise of perfection.

But perfection never lasts. Dreams bleed into memories of a girl they claim no longer exists. Girls who break vanish without explanation. And two rival mentors-each claiming to know what's best for her-pull Maysie into a game she can't afford to lose. Every lie she uncovers threatens the version of her they've built, and the Program knows one sure way to silence girls who know too much.

Only this time, they won't stop at her memories.

Taba never asked to lead. No, he would rather follow the directions of someone much more qualified than him. Still...if no one was willing to step up, what choice did he have but to lead? With his friends, Queenie and Hush, behind him, there isn't any obstacle they can't overcome. Plus, with his ability to get the definite answer to anything he asks, victory is all but assured.

Victory...should have been guaranteed.

Queenie is unmatched in weaponry. From close quarters to ranged sniping, she has no peer. Well...apart from Taba and her brother, Hush. Still, the mission should have been simple: take out the Gatekeepers of Malapace and secure an easy win for the Family.

How...how did she miss? She never missed.

Hush could blame no one but himself. He was a fool to enhance his senses instead of Taba's or Queenie's. Now they were being brought into the damned city of Malapace for interrogation. Had Hush been more reliable...they wouldn't be such a hindrance to their Family.

They just needed to bide their time. The opportunity for revenge would reveal itself.

Despite their vows of retribution, as the trio grows while helping various villagers...something inside of them softens. Who they had believed were cold-hearted enemies show compassion, selflessness, and trust.

Their Father had always emphasized how important it was to follow their gut instinct. So...what happens when their heart tells them to protect those their Family can't coexist with?

A startling, witty and downright terrifying collection of 25 short stories from the "21st century's Richard Matheson" (Richard Chizmar, Chasing the Boogeyman.) Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay, Rachel Harrison and Eric LaRocca.

They're feeding on you too.

A father returns from serving in Vietnam with a strange and terrifying addiction; a man removes something horrifying from his fireplace, and becomes desperate to return it; and a right-wing news channel has its hooks in people in more ways than one.

From department store Santas to ghost boyfriends and salamander-worshipping nuns; from the claustrophobia of the Covid-19 pandemic to small-town Chesapeake USA, Clay McLeod Chapman takes universal fears of parenthood, addiction and political divisions and makes them uniquely his own.

Packed full of humanity, humour and above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror's finest authors.

"The Favored, the Cursed, the Nobody, and the Agapéd."

Life has become a blur of magic, potions, and blood-soaked battles for Lisa Rae Robbie ever since she fled the Kingdom of Boolavogue on the day they buried their youngest King. Her role as the Agapéd Bearer, the Slayer of the Fallen, was supposed to end the day he died, but the immortal magic stayed with her. Lisa doesn't understand why.

Fate brings a new Chairman to the Magic Embassy, and he wants to work with Lisa, reinvigorating the Embassy with the Agapéd Bearer by his side. The only problem is Lisa's heart: It hasn't healed from when she last defeated the Fallen four months ago.

Begrudgingly, Lisa agrees to be guarded by three soldiers until her heart is healed. They are nothing more than her bodyguards-certainly not friends. But as Lisa's nightmares resurface and her past comes to haunt her again, these three soldiers may be the ones who finally help her vanquish the terrors binding her soul.

Embassy Saints is a magic-spilling story of redemption, marking a new epic beginning in The Agapéd Bearer Saga.

Life gets pretty boring when you can beat the snot out of any villain with just one punch.

The year is 1999, and the Kanto Regional Championship is in full swing. Emi is using the championship to compete with all her skill before quitting the game to honor a promise she made with her mother, while Kano has his heart set on the gold--and on finally bringing his feelings for Emi to light.

Written in the prison of Lancaster Castle in 1666 (appended in 1667), Margaret Fell's Women's Speaking Justified by Scripture stands out in world history as the first sustained exegetical defense of women in public ministry. Noting the facts that the God of Israel used women time and time again to challenge kings and other societal leaders in Hebrew Scripture and that the Apostle Paul ministered alongside women in his mission, Fell applies a compelling approach to understanding what the Bible is really saying, what it is not, and within its historical contexts, why. Introduced, annotated, and translated into modern English, Paul N. Anderson has rendered this classic and historic texts in a readable form, highlighting the biblical passages referenced and also expanding upon how the universal ministry of all believers can be understood more fully and meaningfully, as followers of Jesus seek to live into their spiritual callings with personal clarity and corporate support.
