According to Grace, "Life is what it is: survival." But her devotion for helping injured animals has allowed her life to fall into one big rut. And to make matters worse, the other women of Carmella Manor don't appreciate her efforts. Grace, who people say is a medicine-woman-of-sort is just one of the richly imagined characters in this light-hearted somewhat cozy mystery novella.There are things nobody knows about the home they share and even more they don't know about each other. When a trail of ants in the kitchen leads the women to a mystery, Grace goes missing "Wounded Birds was both a relaxing, and a telling read about women. What I liked most was the element of surprise that was brought to each character and how the communal relationship of these women, though each so very different, forced self-discovery of their own uniqueness... A light-hearted great read, making me look forward to the next." ̶ Christie Ennis

Despite the fact that use of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs is skyrocketing, we are not seeing their golden promises being fulfilled. These "Band-Aid" prescriptions do not treat the root of the problem from which so many people suffer. Fortunately, our understanding of mental illness has exploded in the last decade. Due to our improved understanding of how the brain, body, and environment interact, we are finally identifying practices that effectively alleviate anxiety and depression. Based on this new research and success stories gathered from one bestselling author in collaboration with two committed practitioners, this book describes effective techniques to help you beat anxiety and depression and achieve a life you love living.

David and Jessica have almost everything they could want: he is an accomplished journalist, she teaches at an elite private school, and they travel in a circle of alluring friends. Theirs is an enviable life -- until one night when David returns from a business trip. Jessica's wallet and keys are in their usual place, but she is gone. As months pass without her, David's certainty "that she is going to walk in that door tonight" slowly diminishes. At the heart of this unnerving story is David's search for his wife -- which takes him far from his Manhattan neighborhood and deep inside himself. At once heartbreaking and wry, Now You See It is a remarkable debut novel about the impossibility of fully knowing someone -- and what happens to the past when we have a second chance at the future. Now You See It presages a thrilling career for a fresh and gifted author.

For many years I have been collecting recipes from friends, family, and acquaintances. I have used these recipes not only in my daily life, but also for entertaining and for special occasions. In 2010, my mother, Virginia (Jynny) Ruth Stanley passed away, and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipe cards and books. My mother had gathered a great selection of recipes from a lifetime of entertaining, as well as from family and friends. In order to share these with my sister, RuthAnne McGavack Belton, I started typing them out. I soon realized that my mother's recipes, along with my own, would make a great project to share with those I love. Many of these recipes I remember fondly from my childhood, though I thought they had never been written down. The process of typing these out took much longer than expected, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every single moment recalling celebrations and memories of my elderly family members, ancestors and friends. Note: Being on a diet is part of everyone's life, which is why many years ago, I stopped calling it a "die-it", and started calling it a "live-it". One of the "live-its" I have used is Weight Watchers(R) and I have had great success. Therefore, I have added my calculations of the PointsPlus(R) values for these recipes so that I can make better choices, while still enjoying my memories.
