Your walk with God: A daily testimony of faith, trust, and belief? A weekly routine of doctrine, tradition, and customs? Or nonexistent? Every person's story is a microcosmic enactment of God's eternal story, a portrayal of His relationship with humanity. Written with a cathartic tone, this sibling story reveals an adventurous testimony to the presence of God over the entire course of a lifetime. It is a testimony of developing faith and struggle for identity, personal acceptance, and self-liberation. With liberation comes freedom, and Anita believes freedom is the absence of fear. The absence of fear in Anita's life has been a long time coming-taking nearly six decades to abolish the fear that began with childhood trauma and grief; the fear manifested as guilt and inadequacy; the fear of greatness that had her playing small; the fear that her father would always be an unknown factor in her life, and, most decidedly, the fear of giving God complete control over her life. God is now the boss of Anita's life, and this book chronicles her journey toward giving Him control. Anita D. Russell, M.Ed., was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, spending most of her childhood in the suburb of Homestead. In 1988 she left Pittsburgh to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry in New Jersey. Her fluid career spans multiple disciplines, including pharmaceutical R&D, learning and development, web and e-learning design, and youth and community leadership. Now working independently, Anita is the founder of The Place to SOAR LLC and the creator of the SOAR Coaching Academy. She is a Certified John Maxwell Coach, Speaker, and Trainer. Anita returned to take up residence in her home city as of 2017.

Laney Bozeman works at a lonely roadside junk shop in a remote corner of New Mexico. He reads old paperbacks and daydreams on his two- week shifts, and by night he stargazes and dabbles in the kitchen of the tiny attendant's bungalow. He sleeps in his truck during his time off and explores, though lately he's been carrying on with the beautiful clerk Maria from Big Donut in Roswell, so a different life might be on the horizon. The old carnie Ralston Orley is supposed to be gone when he arrives for their bimonthly sunset shift change, but this time he's still there, half naked and blackout drunk, and he's dragged a gigantic belt buckle into the bungalow's living room.
The weirdness never stops! A.J. has to go see Miss Laney, the speech teacher, which makes no sense at all because he already knows how to talk. Miss Laney has him say weird tongue twisters and forces him to be the lead in the third-grade play, Romeo & Juliet. And you'll never guess in a million hundred years who's going to play Juliet. Will there be kissing? Ew, disgusting!

"In the Family Way bursts with the complexity, drama, and warmth of Call the Midwife, but set at the canasta and kitchen tables of 1960s suburban America. This timely, timeless novel captures not only the reproductive horrors of that era but also political awakening and a kind of nostalgic hope: it's a changing world, and Roe, behind us now, was glimmering on the horizon then. Laney Katz Becker so beautifully reveals that where there are women's hardships, there is consolation to be found, then and still, in each other's company and care."—Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of SandwichSet in the 1960s before Roe, a poignant and powerful novel in the vein of Lessons in Chemistry and Big Little Lies, about the friendship between a group of suburban housewives who help one another navigate through their personal challenges, marriages, and their pregnancies—both wanted and unwanted.In 1965 America, women can’t have their own bank accounts, credit cards, or sign their own leases; divorce is scandalous and difficult; and abortion is illegal. Every week, a group of suburban housewives meet for their Tuesday canasta game. As cards are drawn and discarded, the women share advice and confidences. When prim and proper Lily Berg, a doctor’s wife, discovers she’s pregnant with their second child, she follows her friend Becca’s suggestion and takes in Betsy, a pregnant teen from the local home for unwed mothers. Betsy, who’s never met anyone Jewish before, is to live with the Bergs for six months, help with babysitting and housekeeping, have her own baby, and agree never to contact the family again. But things quickly get complicated. Lily, who’s opened her home to the teenager, never planned on opening her heart, yet that’s exactly what happens. Meanwhile, Becca is pregnant with her fourth, and comes up with a scheme to get a legal, therapeutic abortion, and Lily’s sister, Rose, discovers the man she married isn’t who he purported to be, and turns to Lily and her husband for help.Moving and atmospheric, full of history and heart, In the Family Way is a timely novel that captures the experiences of women on the cusp of liberation as they struggle with their own complex feelings about being wives, mothers, and women with their own dreams and ambitions.

The true story of one of the twentieth century's most audacious art frauds Filled with extraordinary characters and told at breakneck speed, Provenance reads like a well-plotted thriller. But this is most certainly not fiction. It is the astonishing narrative of one of the most far-reaching and elaborate cons in the history of art forgery. Stretching from London to Paris to New York, investigative reporters Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo recount the tale of infamous con man and unforgettable villain John Drewe and his accomplice, the affable artist John Myatt. Together they exploited the archives of British art institutions to irrevocably legitimize the hundreds of pieces they forged, many of which are still considered genuine and hang in prominent museums and private collections today.

TERROR AND FORBIDDEN DESIRE STALK THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACKA school excursion turns into teacher Kayla Petrovic's worst nightmare. Abducted. Held for ransom. For years, she's believed she's nothing more than the whore of her alcoholic mother's taunts, trading her body for a roof, food, money, and stealing men's hearts to heal her emptiness. But when the kidnappers thereaten her students she'll sacrifice everything, inlcuding the last vestige of her self-respect, to save them. Hardened combat veteran Captain Nick West bears his own scars - not all of them visible. He knows how to handle a world turned to shit. He'll get in, retrieve the hostages, and get out, doing little damage. Except to the kidnappers. They're fair game. Yet he isn't prepared for the kick in the chest - worse than the recoil on a sniper's rifle - that comes with recognising there's something special about the woman he rescues. But after years of avoiding emotional intimacy, he's sure as hell not interested in her. Love is a weakness he will never permit. Determined not to be labelled a victim, but haunted by PTSD-induced nightmares and ashamed of her illicit desire for Nick, Kayla is desperate to find a way free. She's had enough of men stealing her worth, her confidence, her voice. She refuses to be labelled a victim, nor is she dependent on Nick's protection. But when a kidnapper trackes her down, hell-bent on revenge, can she discover the strength to save not only herself but the one man she may be able to love?
