Doors Locked Backwards
Doors Locked Backwards pulls readers into a household where love and fear consistently collide. Willie's unpredictable temper and unspoken mental battles rule the home, shaping every moment with tension that ripples under the surface. Shelia's complicated, almost desperate loyalty to him-born from her own wounds and hopes-traps their children in a world where the rules shift without warning and safety feels constantly just out of reach. What should be a sanctuary becomes a maze of emotional landmines, where vigilance is survival and silence becomes second nature.Told through the clear, unfiltered eyes of the children, this story exposes what it feels like to grow up behind doors that are metaphorically-and sometimes literally-locked backwards. Every chapter pulls back another layer of the family's fragile existence, revealing the patterns of control, secrecy, and pain that shape their days. Yet even in this turmoil, the children discover unexpected pockets of courage, resilience, and the quiet, fierce power of sibling bonds. Their shared glances, whispered conversations, and small acts of rebellion become lifelines in a storm they never asked to weather.As the family's internal fractures widen, Doors Locked Backwards explores the intricate ways love can coexist with harm, how devotion can blur into survival, and how hope manages to bloom in the smallest, most unlikely moments. With raw honesty and relentless emotional pull, this gripping narrative invites readers to witness not just the darkness of a troubled home, but the astonishing strength found in young hearts determined to protect one another-and ultimately to find freedom, both from the walls around them and the shadows within.
Bad Bet

With the rapid expansion of legalized online sports betting, millions of Americans-particularly young men-are being drawn into a system designed to keep them playing, often at devastating personal cost.In this powerful and eye-opening book, Jack Alan Levine, a recovering gambling addict, joins veteran journalist John Rabe to examine the rise of online gambling from two distinct but complementary perspectives. Levine offers a deeply personal account of addiction, revealing how gambling can take hold, escalate, and ultimately disrupt every aspect of a person's life. Rabe provides a broader lens, exploring how professional sports, media, and technology have fueled the normalization and growth of betting across American culture.Together, they uncover the mechanics behind the industry's rapid expansion, the psychological pull of constant access and in-game wagering, and the real-world consequences affecting individuals, families, and communities nationwide.BAD BET is both a warning and a call to awareness. It challenges readers to look beyond the surface of entertainment and recognize the risks associated with a system where the odds are always in favor of the house. For anyone seeking to better understand the impact of online gambling-or to recognize its warning signs before it's too late-this book offers insight, perspective, and a closer look at a crisis that is only beginning to unfold.

The Dreamer
This is a book about several recurring dreams I've had throughout my life. First, each dream is described, then followed by memories from my past and insights I gained from ruminating over it. Encouraged by my 5th Grade English teacher, I began writing recollections of my dreams on scraps of paper. In 8th Grade, I began keeping a formal dream journal. As I recalled a portion of the dream and journaled about it, I began to notice a jigsaw-puzzle take form, sometimes one piece at a time, other times large portions. As I matured, I realized that my dreams were also maturing. No longer was I drifting through the starlit skies in a trundle bed like Wendy and Peter Pan. Instead, I was at the controls of a rocket ship in outer space. The small child who once skipped on the sidewalk with her best friend grew into a young woman swinging for hours on ropes hanging from the ceiling of a vacant school auditorium.When it came to dreams where I was interacting with animals or pets that had shared their lives with me, a surge of compassion and renewed memories arose. Although I'm not qualified to interpret dreams, I am happy to share my experiences with you, and hopefully, somewhere along the way, we will connect with one another at a deeper level. Each of my dreams has its own unique story that releases memories of times and circumstances specific to my journey in life ... sometimes happy ... sometimes sad ... other times angry or fearful.When thinking about a dream, I attempt to address everything that troubles me or brings me joy so that I can arrive at a place of peace in my life. Looking too closely at my fears and phobias can create undue anxiety, which I would rather avoid. If I attempt a resolution or spend too much time working on solutions to better deal with my darker side, I can make myself physically ill. This has been a lifelong struggle because I don't want to involve others in the task of fixing me. I've found that I do much better when I work on these concerns in the privacy and protection of my own thoughts, using methods that I've already discovered work for me.Some of my dreams are strange and frightening while others are scarcely discernable, which causes me to wrestle endlessly with them, taking up valuable time that I could be using to do more productive and enjoyable things. I believe the reason I have these recurring dreams is because of insurmountable mental and physical health challenges I have encountered throughout my life.I've been hypervigilant since I was a toddler due to traumatic experiences that occurred during those early years in my life. One such occasion was when a man crawled through our bedroom window, awakening us. My mother jumped out of bed and smashed the window down on him. I still remember his scream and expedient exit, followed by the police coming to our door. It is an encounter such as this that created an overactive fear circuit in my brain that keeps me acutely aware of danger around me.I have lived with an exaggerated startle reflex, a crippling anxiety disorder, Tourette syndrome, and bipolar disorder throughout most of my life. My anxiety is best controlled when I'm at home writing, interacting with my pets, or being out in my gardens. Having projects to work on helps me stay focused and healthy. Before my gramma passed away, she suffered with agoraphobia and rarely left her home. After my grampa died, she had to learn how to drive a car and shop for groceries, which she eventually accomplished with the help of my aunts. She had always taken care of herself by baking, canning, and playing the piano or organ. Much like my gramma, I avoid group gatherings and large crowds, but I'm able to drive and do my own shopping. With stage IV melanoma skin cancer that metastasized from my upper left arm to my lower right lung, resulting in two major surgeries, followed by breaking my hip three years ago, requiring yet an

Not a Monster
In popular culture, the term sociopath has been reduced to a symbol of danger, cruelty, emotional emptiness, and inevitable harm. Media narratives and armchair psychology have blurred the line between clinical understanding and cultural myth. Labels replace observation. Fear replaces research. And once the diagnosis is socially assigned, curiosity ends. Not a Monster challenges that collapse. In this incisive, research-informed examination of sociopathy and antisocial personality, psychologist Channa Bromley, PhD reframes sociopathy through the lens of trauma psychology, behavioral adaptation, and nervous system survival responses. Rather than an absence of humanity, Bromley presents sociopathy as an adaptive psychological architecture-one formed under sustained threat, chronic stress, and developmental survival conditioning.This groundbreaking book explores: The psychology of sociopathy explained beyond stereotypesThe trauma and sociopathy connectionDifferences between sociopathy vs. psychopathyHow antisocial personality patterns developEmotional regulation and survival adaptationCultural myths about sociopathsMisdiagnosis and misunderstanding in mental healthThis book does not excuse destructive behavior. Instead, it offers a psychologically accurate framework for understanding risk, prevention, and intervention. By replacing moral panic with structural insight, Bromley shows how clarity-not condemnation-is what allows society to identify danger earlier and respond more effectively. Not a Monster is a correction of a cultural and clinical misunderstanding.

Her Man, His Secret
You found something on his phone. A message. A profile. A picture of someone you didn't expect. And now the ground beneath your feet doesn't feel solid anymore.If your man is secretly involved with a trans woman, a femboy, or a drag queen, everything you thought you knew about the down low is about to change.For more than twenty years, America has treated the down low as a single story: a closeted gay man hiding his truth from the woman who loves him. But the reality is far more complicated than that, and the difference matters more than you think. The man who is attracted to masculine men and the man who is exclusively drawn to feminine-presenting individuals are not living the same secret, and they are not hiding the same thing.Drawing on published research from Northwestern University, data from the CDC, real interviews, and composite stories built from the lived experiences of women, trans women, and the men caught between two worlds, Robyn Bailey takes you inside a conversation no one else has been willing to have. With the unflinching honesty of someone who grew up in the community, in the church, and in the culture that shaped these secrets, Bailey breaks down the psychology, the patterns, the health risks, and the emotional devastation of discovery, all while treating every person involved with the dignity they deserve.This is not a book of excuses. This is a book of understanding. Because you cannot make the right decision for your life if no one has told you the truth about what you are actually facing.
The Way of the Living Jesus
An Ancient Gospel for the Modern Spiritual SeekerWhat if the teachings of Jesus were not primarily about belief-but about awakening?Hidden for centuries and rediscovered among the Nag Hammadi manuscripts in 1945, the Gospel of Thomas offers a radically different portrait of Jesus.
