Thinking of You
Mary Beth Runnoe was only eleven when she met Mr. Davis-the charming and worshipful young choir teacher would hold her in thrall for decades.In prose as resolute as it is haunting, Runnoe explores what it felt like to be groomed by an older man as the focus of Davis' inappropriate, yet strongly appealing, attentions and favor. As she was drawn deeper and deeper into his web, her life turned upside down. She became the keeper of his secrets and his closest confidante, carried along amidst the exhilarating expectation that she was somehow more than just a child with a crush on a teacher, and that God himself looked with favor upon their relationship. Today, Runnoe is about the same age as was Mr. Davis when their compelling and inappropriate relationship began. She finds herself looking back on Mr. Davis' influence over the very course of her life-the notes and letters he wrote, the gestures he made, the memories long-buried, the traps she was unable to avoid-to reflect upon the meaning of innocence and faith, and to come to terms with the experience of this older man's attentions and its effect on her development as a woman and an adult.Thinking of You is a story about grooming, the delicacy of power, and the effects of its influence on the powerless. It is a story about reclaiming, repainting, and retelling. And, though it is specifically Runnoe's story, she knows her life experience has not been unique. By sharing her journey, she hopes she might help others find their voices, and their peace, as well.

Sins of the Father
"We are born carrying the sins of our fathers- but we choose the song we leave behind."In Sins of the Father, J.Outis unearths the jagged stones of a childhood carved by silence, violence, and longing. Across continents and broken homes, he traces the fragile journey of a boy learning to survive not by forgetting his pain-but by transforming it.Through lyrical prose and searing honesty, this memoir invites readers into a world where love was a battlefield, identity was a puzzle with missing pieces, and survival meant building strength from the ruins.

If Only Love
AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERA HEATHER'S PICK An astonishing memoir of love's enduring power, resilience and transformation, If Only Love is a celebration of the timeless connection between two souls--a real-life love story for the ages. In 1973, a seventeen-year-old Canadian girl meets an American boy on her first day of school in Japan and falls in love, not realizing that he is also a goner for her. When they finally connect, they only have two months together before school's out and she has to head home. Bad timing and swirling emotion botch their attempt to stay together and they fall out of touch. Long after she loses him, she still thinks of him, and even sets out on a journey to find him, one that fails in the most traumatic of ways. Thirty years later--after her award-winning documentary career has taken her to the most dangerous of places pursuing the toughest of stories--Daniel Peterson's name pops up in an email in Shelley Saywell's inbox, delivering them both a second chance at love. Soon they are edging towards each other in a soul-baring exchange of emails that slowly confirms that their teenage love was real. For fifteen years, they are bonded in life and in love, only to have their marriage cut short when Daniel is diagnosed with terminal cancer. By braiding together the strands of time--threads of first love enhancing threads of grief, a magic reunion undone by final separation--Saywell reveals the power of memory and the healing magic of love. In his last moments, she asks Daniel, "Can we do this again?" and he replies, "We'll do it again, only better." Hard to imagine any two people doing love better, or any writer creating a more touching, revelatory story and testament to the heart.

Family life is changing. More people are living solo, choosing to stay single, or consciously uncoupling. Blended families are becoming the norm, and many are creating their own "chosen families." We're seeing a resurgence in intergenerational living, and more diverse relationship models than ever before. This book dives deep into these shifts, exploring the rise of solo living, the complexities of blended families, and the evolving definitions of marriage and parenthood. We'll examine the impact of technology, globalization, and economic inequality on families, and explore how we can build stronger, more resilient connections in the 21st century. What makes this book different? It goes beyond simply describing these trends. We'll tackle the tough questions about how these changes impact our well-being, our communities, and our social policies. We'll challenge outdated notions of family, advocate for greater inclusivity, and offer a hopeful vision for the future of love, connection, and kinship

It Is What It Is
An intimate memoir of love, loss, and enduring grief. Maura McGee's life turned upside down when, in the span of months, she found herself facing both the sudden loss of her mother and her husband Dave's shocking diagnosis of a rare and aggressive cancer. With six young kids, Maura and Dave were at a loss, unsure of how to move forward in the wake of this devastating news. In the throes of pain and fear, they had to relearn how to exist in a new reality as Dave battled this unforgiving disease and Maura confronted the fact that she may become a widow sooner than she ever thought possible. Dave, Maura, and their children were thankfully supported by their community, allowing them to find brief moments of happiness and acceptance of what was to come. About two years after the diagnosis, Maura became a young widow and single mother, losing her childhood sweetheart the day after celebrating his forty-fifth birthday. As Maura would soon learn, motherhood pauses for no tragedy, but through faith, love, and support, she found the strength she needed to persevere. Because of Dave's example and their experience, Maura and her kids now try to pay forward the kindness and support shown to their family-encouraging Maura to finally share her inspiring journey of devastating loss and transformative resilience with the hope that it might offer a helping hand to those in need. What began as an exercise in journaling to deal with her own grief, combined with timely social media posts and emails, turned into a beautiful recounting of her family's journey. It Is What It Is offers a vulnerable look into the painful world of grief and how one widow turned to her faith, family, and friends to help her move forward, one step at a time.
Burn the Haystack
It's time for a dating revolution!How do you find a needle in a haystack? You burn the haystack to the ground.Among Dr. Jennie Young's legion of fans, the "needle" is a long-term, committed partner and the "haystack" is the group of men available to date. So often women are advised to "give the guy a chance," to take seriously men whose app bios tell women not to take themselves seriously. Young's refreshing approach to online dating turns this advice on its head: Give almost no one a chance. A professor of feminist rhetoric, Young teaches people how to decode the hidden meanings in ordinary communication. Fascinated (and frustrated) by the rhetorical gambits she saw in men's profiles when she first downloaded a dating app, she created Burned Haystack to help other women navigate the nonsense and find their needles. Young has revolutionized the dating lexicon by identifying common toxic rhetorical patterns in men's messaging, such as: Test and Apologize: He texts some sexual innuendo, then apologizes before you caneven respond. He's testing if you'll be okay with being objectified. The test is real; the apology isn't.Disciplinary/Directive: He uses his dating app profile to "lay down the law" with women, which usually turns into abuse down the road. Understanding this pattern will help you disengage from this guy before he ruins your life.Blue Ribbon for Bare Minimum: He opens his bio with "I will never hit you" (shockingly common) or brags about basic adult life skills such as having a job or washing his sheets. Things don't improve from here.Young's engaging system empowers readers to sort through profiles quickly and effectively, preserving both time and sanity. And with its blend of scathing humor and academic rigor, Burn the Haystack is so much more than a dating tool--it gives women the skills to break down communication from the classroom to the boardroom and everywhere in between, and the confidence to approach life with a deeper, more powerful level of understanding.
