Tracy LaCroix is a Virginia man with an amazing story to share. After his heart stopped beating for an hour and a half, he came back spiritually renewed, fortified with an inspirational message of hope and love. CJ Golden-author of Tao of the Defiant Woman and Tao-Girls Rule -is from Newtown, Connecticut, a town still searching for healing from an unimaginable tragedy. Though hundreds of miles separate their homes, a series of circumstances bring these two individuals together-and the coincidences are too strong to ignore. The result is Golden's inspirational biography Reflections from Beyond: Sharing a Message of Hope, Peace and Kindness, the story of the near-death experience that changed Tracy's life and is sure to touch countless others, as well. Together, author and subject share powerful messages for anyone who is facing death, whether it is through the horrors of tragedy or coming to terms with the inevitability of their own passing. Through Tracy's amazing journey, you'll experience the peace and beauty that lie just beyond this physical plane-regardless of religion or personal spiritual beliefs.

Watching her husband, Joe, regress from crossing the country on a bike to cheering him on as he navigated his wheelchair around the kitchen, CJ Golden had much to learn about caregiving. And she did - through her characteristic determination, quest for knowledge, boundless love and relentless optimism. Within these pages the reader finds a balanced mix of somber reflections and light moments that highlight a very real passage in the lives of a husband and wife who love each other unequivocally. Golden shares the lessons she learned, the emotional and physical strain upon her heavily burdened shoulders, and the realization that, through it all, their connection and love have grown stronger. Joe's motto for getting through life's most trying times has always been, "one pedal at a time" - referring to his days traversing the country, for months at a time on the two wheels of his road bike. Thus, the title of this book and, hopefully, a philosophy that will help carry others through their own caregiving struggles. One Pedal at a Time speaks to caregivers who need a place to turn to for information, inspiration, and hope, and who enjoy a good love story.
