Mock’s Bad Stomp
MOCK'S BAD STOMP In the Indian Territory of pre-statehood Oklahoma, a brutal assault has been committed against a young Creek woman by the name of Etta Jane "Mock" Burnham. A full description of how and why the assault occurred is revealed, but, surprisingly, sympathy for the victim is not what it ought to be. Soon, the focus shifts more toward the consequences of the crime than the incident itself. Two personal problems had turned Mock into the rebellious and angry young woman she was - the toxic relationship that existed between herself and her parents and her outright hatred of her backwater hometown. Things had been said and done that could not be taken back or forgotten, much less forgiven; blind and thoughtless anger on Mock's part had made it much too late for that. All she could think of was how to escape the choking constraints of her parental home and the hometown she abhorred. Mock's own terrible attitude had turned her into a vengeful bridge burner as well, a young woman who had not only taken full advantage of but also perversely relished every opportunity that arose to alienate the very people - family members, friends, and neighbors - who in the normal course of things would have helped her when the going got rough. Her own behavior led first to an ill-fated association with the man most everyone in her community referred to as "Crazy Early" and then to what eventually came to be referred to as "The Story of Mock's Bad Stomp". Mock was a young woman who asked for trouble, and, sadly for her, that's exactly what she wound up getting. *****

Hiding in Plain Sight
In Hiding in Plain Sight, a U.S. Air Force veteran comes home to a family very different and unrecognizable than the one he left behind more than twenty years ago. He quickly learns that the long-duration battle he's about to fight on the home front will take every ounce of his strength...a battle as formidable and horrifying as one could ever conceive imaginable.Sean Torean McFadden was a happy boy in childhood and a happy man through much of his adulthood. His departure from home at the age of seventeen led to a rewarding military career that was his greatest success, but upon his return home in his early forties, he would find a different type of enemy than those he worked so hard to suppress in uniform for more than two decades. This enemy was close, personal, and wore a mask; hidden yet unhidden, known yet unknown, present yet distant. His quest for survival would take him on a long, treacherous and heartbreaking journey in emotional and psychological warfare-where the fight for survival of his mind, his spirit, and the love of one person put him on a divergent, unscrupulous battlefield-one bred in the depths of hell.___________________________________All families are imperfect, yet within the expected range of imperfection you may believe that your family is particularly afflicted with a profound dysfunction and that this dysfunction is so severe as to inhibit the happiness and success that every person within that family unit deserves.Sibling abuse is one of the more controversial areas of domestic violence. Society places great emphasis upon sibling relationships exemplified by the use of terms such as "brotherly and sisterly love" to reflect strong attachments of love and caring, but not all sibling relationships are healthy and well-adjusted. Several studies indicate that sibling abuse occurs in more than sixty percent of families, crossing all racial and socioeconomic lines, making it a common form of domestic violence and an area in need of greater research. For many years, very little research was conducted into the dynamics of sibling abuse, and what researchers do know comes from clinical studies. Parents often ignore it, researchers do not study it in great detail, and many therapists find it a normal element of growing up. However, there is an increasing focus on the fact that, in less than a majority of cases, sibling wars develop into a form of repeated and inescapable abuse.One study determined that, as siblings grow older, their abuse decreases. The author can personally and unequivocally state that this is not always the case. It is his greatest hope that, should any aspects of his life within these pages sound familiar to you from your own experiences, you will learn from his experiences, be nourished and strengthened by them, and become strong enough to prevail in healing with truth and a greater sense of self.The word "evil" has been used in this book more than one hundred times. It is not a word Sean takes lightly, nor should you. He struggled immensely with its use and required in-depth soul-searching before determining whether to use it or not. One normally associates evil with demons, possession, dark cults, and the like, and most notably with the devil itself. This book is not about that. It is about premeditated and unbridled betrayal, cruelty, emotional and psychological harm, half-truths, outright lies, and other forms of deception that leave no outward scars. While these, Sean has concluded, are all weapons in the devil's massive arsenal, because of that there is no question in his mind that with the existence of human evil, the devil plays an active role. With that thought in mind, he determined his use of the term in this book was proper.
It Wasn't You, It Was Me
I wrote this book to help women who are going through a process of separation or divorce, the latter I had to live alone.

In this book you will find very strong life lessons that are experienced in a marital breakdown.Each stage is lived, felt, analyzed, worked until it was healed and released all the pain that one day you could feel.Life gave me a new opportunity to fulfill all my wishes, enjoying my freedom. A wonderful freedom in which I have open arms to receive everything that comes. God has given me the opportunity to start over, but now with the knowledge of who I am and what I want for myself.I wish you can achieve the same as you read this book, learning to let go, not inbe hooked on emotions that can trap you for life, acting cunningly, without falling into legal battles that can leave you financially and emotionally ruined.

The Brainwashing of My Dad
After her beloved dad got addicted to right-wing talk radio and Fox News, Jen Senko feared he would never be the same again...Frank Senko had always known how to have a good time. Despite growing up in a poverty-stricken family during the Depression and having to fight his way to middle-class status as an adult, he tended to look on the bright side. But after a job change forced Frank to begin a long car commute every day, his daughter Jen noticed changes in his personality and beliefs. Long hours on the road listening to talk radio commentators like Rush Limbaugh sucked her father into a suspicion-laden worldview dominated by conspiracy theories, fake news, and rants about the "coastal elite" and "libtards" trying to destroy America.Over the course of a few years, Jen's dad went from a nonpolitical, open-minded Democrat to a radical, angry, and intolerant right-wing devotee who became a stranger to those closest to him. As politics began to take precedence over everything else in her father's life, Jen was mystified. What happened to her dad? Was there anything she could do to help? And, most importantly, would he ever be his lovable self again? Jen began the search for answers, and found them... as well stories from countless other families like her own.Based on the award-winning documentary, The Brainwashing of My Dad uncovers the alarming right-wing strategy to wield the media as a weapon against our very democracy. Jen's story shows us how Fox News and other ultra-conservative media outlets are reshaping the way millions of Americans view the world, and encourages us to fight back.

Beauty in Battle
Beauty in Battle is not just another marriage book - it's a blueprint for how to energize your relationship, give you purpose, and draw you close to your spouse by turning the tension that divides you into energy that fuels you. In these pages, Jason and Tori Benham share their story of how they turned conflict and quarrels into passion and purpose by leaning into their struggles rather than trying to avoid them. As a result, they discovered that fighting together drew them together. Their message is clear - you don't need to stop fighting; you need to start fighting ... the right way.

In this book, the Benhams take you to a basketball court where a flirtatious stranger exposed a problem in their relationship. You'll travel along with them on a cruise ship where a suitcase was flung across their room. They'll invite you to a party where one of them (not mentioning names!) jumped across a kitchen island to punch someone in the face. They'll even walk you into their master bedroom where God used a dream to reignite their passion for each other, and the three-step plan He gave them to get it back.

How to combat negative thinking toward your spouse.

Ellen meets Jim at a posh restaurant, hoping for an evening of fine wine and better conversation. Maria sets out on a walk with a man she's been looking forward to meeting. In First Date Stories, these women, and others, enter into initial liaisons with well-honed expectations--and come out on the other side with extraordinary tales to tell. Chances are, every woman in her mid-thirties and over who is seeking a loving companion has a first date tale of triumph or disaster. Each of the candid and memorable stories Jodi Klein shares here imparts a bit of wisdom--with the help of takeaway tips and inspirational quotes--to guide readers through what can be a baffling, intimidating, and sometimes lonely journey.

After Your Person Dies
This is a book for anyone that has lost their person. (Or for people supporting those who have lost their person.)In this book, Dr Linda Shanti McCabe shares with you the paintings she made the first year after her husband died, as an invitation for you to see how you can create new meaning while traveling with loss. Tackling such difficult topics such as anger, grief waves, the nonlinear experience of grief, and the things your person leaves behind, Dr. Linda provides a compassionate hand to hold while traveling the journey of grief. She invites you to build a new home inside yourself, develop new capacities, find meaning, and live your life as if it were a series of questions. She encourages you to become a phoenix. She shows you what it could look like to carry grief with grace.After your person dies you may experience numbness, anger, overwhelming sadness, or regret. You may have the experience of not being in your body or as if the world is continuing and you are an observer, watching it go on without you. You may feel like you "should" be an inspirational sunflower or look strong in your grief. You might try to put on a bright face, so that others aren't uncomfortable. We don't live in a grief literate culture. You may feel angry at stupid things people say to you. You may feel angry at people trying you console you. You may feel that it is unfair that your loved one died. Anger is a normal part of grief. You may say "I don't know who I am now, without my person. My person was with me for so long! My person was with me forever. I don't know how to be a person, separate from my person." If that is the case, now is the time for you to discover, and uncover, who You are. This is the opportunity now staring you in the face, every day. When monarch caterpillars are getting ready to turn into cocoons, they find a place to attach themselves and become still. Then they split their old skin open and wriggle into a cocoon. They literally build a new home for themselves from the inside out. Do that with your grief. Make a safe space for it, so you can transform.From there, you will be able to ask yourself, what do I want to do and who do I want to become, with the time I have? Please ask this question with fierce kindness, without regret, and with a vast amount of compassion. *15% of all proceeds from this book go to Dreams From Drake (supporting children's grief), Soaring Spirits International (widow support), and Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Relationships between stepfathers and stepdaughters can be unfathomably complex. When Christin's stepfather reaches the end of a final cancer diagnosis and is told that he has only three to six months to live, she is suddenly invited into his dying process, a role she never expected to play. During his last five, heartbreakingly beautiful days, as he prepares to die, they discover a closeness and trust that can only be shared between father and daughter. Set in the deep south along the Texas Gulf Coast, where the cara cara hunt and the resurrection ferns mysteriously revive, 5 days: A Lifetime of Love in Seven Thousand Two Hundred Minutes is a poetic memoir that tells the story of vulnerability, bravery, the humility it takes to forgive and how it is never ever too late, to live or to love.

Married for Five Minutes
A husband who won't work. In-laws who let a nine-year-old watch inappropriate movies. A wife who's been dishonest in bed. Take a 5-minute peek inside real marriages facing challenges that threaten to blur the reflection of Christ that marriage was created to be. Bestselling fiction author Michelle Stimpson teams up with Shundria Riddick, a licensed therapist, to tackle issues rarely discussed but frequently experienced--even in Christian marriages. Each chapter gives a fictionalized behind-the-scenes account of scenarios the authors have encountered through mentoring/counseling women, followed by biblically and professionally sound commentary. Readers will be encouraged to know that all marriages have tough seasons, and some marriages are simply more difficult than others throughout their entirety. Nonetheless, we can find encouragement and wisdom from our Heavenly Father to deal with life after "I do." Foreward by Chrystal Evans Hurst, Bestselling Author of Kingdom Woman
