The 1994 recession has hit Cassie Franklin, a custom jeweler in Eden Beach, California, right in the heart. With sales falling and bills piling up, and with would-be real estate mogul, Carla Towne, scheming to force Cassie out of her shop, Cassie must pull out all the stops to survive. Her best chance to save her business is to find a way to get into the most prestigious art show in Eden Beach, but to do that, she will have to take risks with her work and her life. Risks that might cost her everything. It's the worst possible time for Tate Garner, handsome owner of the exciting new restaurant around the corner, to stroll into her life. Tate's silver-spoon background is everything Cassie, an outsider with a chip on her shoulder, ridicules. But as she discovers the man behind her preconceptions, she wonders if she can trust herself to take the biggest risk of all: falling in love.
Stacie Cappella just wants a normal life. Instead, her eerily accurate-though unpredictable-gift of Second Sight, inherited from her eccentric, fortune-telling great aunt, has given her a lifetime of embarrassment, shattered friendships, and broken hearts. She does her best to keep her inconvenient hunches to herself. But even something as simple as selling wind chimes, crystals, and tarot cards at her shop, The Bell, Book and Crystal, has opened her to charges of witchcraft. Then the belligerent wife of a powerful city council member accuses her of fraud. Eden Beach Police Detective Ben Robard, a jaded Iraq war vet and skeptic of all things metaphysical, is reluctant to take on the frivolous fraud investigation, especially since a serial killer may be targeting his city. Despite signs the no-nonsense cop is the love her aunt foretold, Stacie is determined to keep a fence around her heart-and a tight rein on her intuition. But one chilly morning, a nightmare steps out of the fog, and Stacie must risk revealing her gift to convince Ben she's in danger. It's a move that could save more lives than hers-but could lose her the chance at love she thought she'd never have.
The story begins on a hot afternoon at the Wynoochee River where Eve nearly drowns. The drowning symbolizes all the ways she nearly drowned after that day; and after she plunges readers into that stiflingly hot moment of innocence fading, she promises to tell her story in pieces, to explain why "it's about fucking up and learning from that." Eve is tossed from mother to father, ultimately rejected by both. She suffers physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather. When she leaves home, Eve continues the pattern of estrangement from her body. Not all at once, but in increments, she emerges strong and self-assured through her practice of physical movement: the physical act of writing, running, and yoga. But this takes time and happens like her story: in pieces. She delves into early female friendships, sibling relationships, sexuality, and the influence of literature on her thinking to pull out each meaningful piece, color it in a way that evokes her reader's imagination, and then weaves that piece into the larger picture.Eve's is a story of how we heal and grow stronger, even while new wounds are inflicted and our weaknesses emerge -- even while we hurt others and allow others to hurt us. The story is embedded in the landscape of Western Washington, especially Eve's hometown of Aberdeen. Eve, the first-person narrator of Hallelujah, seeks to simultaneously tell the story of her sometimes self-imposed salvation from ruin as well as to refute the idea of resilience as a fixed trait.
Help motivate your child to want to move from a crib to a 'big kid bed' with courage and confidence in a fun and inspiring adventure Change for little ones can be daunting but have no fear - Louie is here to help In the first book of its series, Louie is a super elephant who is always ready for adventure, but he's sick of waking up tired and weary. Louie decides that maybe it's time to give his 'big kid bed' a try and then comes the biggest surprise of all... With sweet rhymes and beautiful illustrations, this book inspires bravery and greatness.A Note from the publisher: Give Your Child the Courage That He or She Needs to Quickly Conquer New Milestones without Stress or Overwhelm. The toddler years can be the most amazing, yet challenging times. On one hand, it's hard to believe that your little one is growing up before your eyes (and it's the most incredible joy to be part of) but on the other hand, with growing up comes change and new milestones. These transitions can often be daunting for both the child and the parent. We created the character, Louie, with your child in mind. It's our goal that your child will instantly relate with Louie's adventurous spirit, independence and fun loving nature. He or she will giggle through this sweet, rhythmic story but also learn that change can be overcome by a little courage and that the outcome can actually lead to even more fun and adventure We understand that there are many different tactics and tools to conquer transitions (and that each household may handle them differently), however, we strongly believe that before technique there needs to be a want and desire within the child. The same is true for adults. Think about it, there's no way you're going to learn a foreign language if you don't have the desire. You can be thrown into some of the best classrooms and programs but will have a hard time grasping the information until you're actually interested and motivated.Louie's Little Lessons sole focus is to ignite curiosity and motivation when it comes to facing change (then, the technicalities can be taught whichever way you chose), however, the first and most challenging step is establishing the correct mindset. We hope to help your child finds his/her desire to embrace change and courage for years to come

Dancing in the Santa Ana Winds: Poems y Cuentos New and Selected contains twenty-five years of liz gonz lez's best work. Set against the diverse landscapes of the San Bernardino Valley and Los Angeles, these richly textured straightforward and sometimes humorous real and imagined works illuminate the trials and beauty of girls' and women's journeys to reclaim themselves. She explores memories, pivotal experiences, and cultural influences that shaped her: The death of a young father, family relationships that nurture and challenge, and the joys and struggles of growing up as a nontraditional Catholic Mexican American.
When you find someone who has no hope left, give the bracelet to her... Sunshine "Sunny" Voorhees David would rather be dead than back in Morning Glory, Mississippi. But after losing both her husband and a pregnancy, she comes home temporarily to the place she swore she'd never return to. Before she can leave for good, she'll have to fix up the dilapidated family home, convince her mother to move, and avoid the man who broke her heart. The mistake Henry Delmar made years ago has always haunted him, and now the woman whose dreams he destroyed is back. He wants her forgiveness, but this new Sunny is nothing like the innocent he remembers. This Sunny is hurt, angry, and has built a mile-high wall around her heart. When Henry's son runs over Sunny's motorcycle, the stars line up for an opportunity to show Sunny how much he regrets the way they ended. With the help of his children, a stray dog, and the townspeople, Henry must find a way to rekindle their romance and prove to Sunny that she's right where she's always belonged...in his arms. Come back to Morning Glory for puppy kisses, lattes at the Lazy Frog, and a happily-ever-after.
