In You Unstuck, Libby Gill uses cases studies, client stories from her coaching work, and brain research to help readers understand the biological basis of fears that hold them back. She shows how to reframe what she calls Riskophobia, turn off the fear voices, and circumvent ancient defense systems. Readers can then create an Escalating Risk Hierarchy by "chunking down" their vision into small, actionable steps, ordered from least to most anxiety inducing. By combining stress-busting relaxation techniques with small action steps, the readers’ odds for realizing their vision greatly increase in this Relax, Risk, Repeat cycle. Gill also shows readers how to "Avoid Limiters & Embrace Liberators," keeping naysayers at bay while seeking influential supporters who can help free their creativity and productivity. Capitalizing on her business background, coaching expertise, and a personal history of risk-taking and resilience, Gill makes complex concepts relevant and accessible through immediately applicable tools, exercises, self-tests, and questionnaires that challenge readers to change.

No empty-headed fool, Daisy Buchanan tells her side of the story of that tumultuous summer in the 1920s when she reunites with her first love, Jay Gatsby. Unlike her cousin Nick's recounting, her version tells readers what was in the letter that Jay sent to her on the eve of her wedding to Tom Buchanan that almost had her calling off the ceremony, and who was really driving the car that killed her husband's mistress. Although she wishes sometimes she could be a sprite (akin to the flickering green light at the end of her pier), Daisy comes to realize that charting her own destiny means making hard choices, for herself and her precious daughter.

Daisy-Great Gatsby: Centennial Edition
Libby Sternberg; F. Scott Fitzgerald
Bancroft Press

One hundred years ago, F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby, a novel that captured the glamour, ambition, and illusions of the Jazz Age while exposing the cracks beneath its gilded surface. Over the past century, Gatsby's story has endured as a defining piece of American literature, studied, admired, and continually reinterpreted. Yet, within this celebrated novel, one character's voice has remained elusive--until now. With this centennial edition, we present The Great Gatsby alongside Libby Sternberg's Daisy, a critically acclaimed reimagining of the story from Daisy Buchanan's perspective. For decades, Daisy has been viewed through the lens of Gatsby's longing and Nick Carraway's detached observations. But who was Daisy, truly? What choices shaped her, and how did she see her own life amid the wealth and expectations of her era? By pairing these two books together, we invite readers to experience Gatsby's world in a new way--first through Fitzgerald's iconic prose and then through Daisy's own lens. We hope this edition will deepen readers' appreciation for both novels, offering a fresh perspective on agency, identity, and the weight of societal expectations--themes that resonate as powerfully today as they did in 1925. Whether you are revisiting Gatsby for the hundredth time or discovering Daisy's story for the first, we are honored to share this literary dialogue with you.
The stories in My Mother Said...And the Lessons I learned are told by daughters, sons, and even granddaughters and stand as salutes to the women who influenced their lives. The idea for the book came from memories of my own mother, Anna Wilma Pope McDonald. A widow after just nine years of marriage, left with three children and no source of income, she sacrificed her own life to raise my sister, my brothe4r and me. We always knew that we came first, and the lessons I learned from her are ones that I have held onto and incorporated into my own role as a mother. The stories told include one of three women from Minnesota, the grandmother now 103 and still active, her daughter who remains by her side, and her granddaughter who is grateful to have had her so long in her life. There is the former police chief of San Francisco, whose mother instilled in him respect for women, and the educator from Pennsylvania who had a bond so strong with his mother that he said she "wove his heart." Three sisters share the memories of their mother, an Olympic gymnast, whose records remained intact for almost 70 years, until they were beaten by Simone Biles in 2019. There is the story told by a daughter who has found herself as the caretaker of her mother who now struggles with a failing memory, one of a son, whose mother taught him to live his life with a tough skin, and one of a son, whose mother rose above her humble beginnings in a sharecropper family to become a respected leader in their community. There is the mother who supported her daughter as she pursued her dream of becoming a performer on the stage and of mothers and their adopted children. Woven between the memories shared by others are mine of my mother. Throughout her 92 years on this Earth, she never lost sight of her respect for others, no matter their race, religion or political affiliation. She lived her life with a positive attitude, despite years of hardship, sadness with the death of her only son and then the loss of her home that she worked so hard to keep. The last ten years of her life were spent in a nursing home, but they were years when she never lost her positive view of life. She remains today, my hero, as do so many other mothers to those who tell their stories.
Lum has always been on the outside. At eight, she was diagnosed with what we now call an intersex condition and is told she can't expect to marry. Now, at thirty-three, she has no home of her own but is shuttled from one relative's house to another - valued for her skills, but never treated like a true member of the family. Everything is turned upside down, however, when the Blue Ridge Parkway is slated to come through her family's farmland. As people take sides in the fight, the community begins to tear apart - culminating in an act of violence and subsequent betrayal by opponents of the new road. However, the Parkway brings opportunities as well as loss.
Kairos, Libby Maxey's first poetry collection, speaks both to the passage of time and to the timelessness of being. The epistolary quality of the sonnet form is front and center, insisting on connection, even as the poems suggest that the mysteries of the past have nothing on the mysteries of our personal present and the people we love. Kairos makes family out of history, gleaning a rich and mythic past from literature and place to structure, interpret, and communicate the present. Whether capturing the explosive intimacy of parenthood or the shortcomings of faith, Maxey's verses order chaos with metaphor. Kairos takes us from New England to the Washington coast to Japan, gathering in what breaks apart. Rooted in the natural world and blooming with music, these luminous poems have won the Poet's Seat Poetry Contest, the Robert P. Coll n Poetry Contest, and the New Women's Voices prize from Finishing Line Press.
