Lacie’s Lessons In Dating
**Warning: Sexually Explicit Content**In 2017, I found myself living like so many other singles. Swiping through dating apps trying to find Mr. Right, but never taking the time to look within to see that I had not yet been transformed into Ms. Right. I had lived my entire life always wanting to do better, be better, and become better. Accepting myself for who I had always been was never an option for me. As I wrote this book, I strived to learn about men, dating, communication, and why I historically accepted treatment that was far less than what I deserved. Little by little I began to develop a sense of self-worth and self-love, both severely lacking at the start of my casual dating life. Little by little, I realized I was worth far more than I gave myself credit for. Little by little, I saw the widely accepted casual dating life was damaging me and those I interacted with. When I wrote this book, I hoped others would see a piece of themselves in me. I wanted this book to be a catalyst that sparked change in others. Little did I know, this first book would be the start of my own transformation into a Godly woman who would NEVER choose to live the life outlined on these pages, ever again! This book is the beginning of my story. The story of the woman I used to be.

Friends in Common
"I've been waiting for this book for years - a beautifully written, compelling study of the significance of the dense bonds of friendship in fostering and preserving progressive politics. A joyful, empowering read" - Lynne Segal, author of Lean on Me"A moving exploration of the importance and the difficulty of forging intimate relationships within capitalism" - Hannah Proctor, author of Burnout Friendship is full of revolutionary potential in the face of a profoundly anti-social capitalist system. Friends in Common explores friendship as a radical practice, capable of upending hierarchies and producing social change. Friendship can transcend social boundaries and political borders. It is vital in building communities and underpinning solidarity. But its transformative potency ensures that it is heavily policed and restrained by the state. Understanding the radical possibilities of friendship can help us rethink our approach to family, work and politics, and show us new routes to resistance and ways to open up spaces of solidarity and escape. Friends in Common shows that friendship as a political practice is foundational to strengthening revolutionary ideas and projects, and can be the antidote to capitalist despair. Laura C. Forster is a historian and writer based in Newcastle. She is a lecturer in Modern History at the University of York, and has written for Tribune, ROAR and DOPE. Joel White is a writer and researcher based in Glasgow. His writing has appeared in the Guardian, Wire and Tribune. He co-runs the record label GLARC.
The Answer Is in the Wound
"Lyrical and brutal, intimate and culturally relevant. I've never read anything like it."--Maggie SmithAn intimate, linked, lyrical essay collection focusing on the longer-lasting effects of trauma and PTSD on survivors--challenging a culture in which violence against women is normalized and illuminating the nonlinear, complex nature of recovery--from the acclaimed author of Goodbye, Sweet GirlAn affecting memoir-in-essays from the acclaimed author of Goodbye, Sweet Girl, The Answer Is in the Wound is a radical examination of the fractured, nonlinear nature of life after trauma. In this remarkable account of her own road to healing, Kelly Sundberg challenges a culture in which violence against women is normalized and writes against the implicit demand for survivors to "get over it."Kelly Sundberg's abusive marriage nearly broke her, and finding the courage to leave and begin the difficult process of putting herself back together was only the beginning of her story. Deeply courageous, The Answer Is in the Wound deftly explores the trials and joys Sundberg encountered not only as a newly single parent but also as someone in full pursuit of life. She developed an appreciation for new spiritual practices, reclaimed her body through tattoos, and even became "the problem" rather than going along to get along in her professional life. From erasure poetry crafted from emails and a court-mandated apology letter from her ex-husband, to engaging with the research of some of the most prominent voices in fifty years of trauma psychiatry and psychology --from Judith Herman and Peter A. Levine to Bessel van der Kolk--The Answer Is in the Wound is a profound meditation on trauma and its lasting effects.With the formal innovation and radical vulnerability of Carmen Maria Machado's In the Dream House and the cerebral precision of Leslie Jamison's The Empathy Exams, Sundberg's breathtaking collection offers a redemptive arc for trauma survivors and vital insight into what makes healing possible.

The Way Finds You
Sometimes, the best way to find yourself... is to get completely lost. When Lily's picture-perfect life falls apart-cheating husband, dramatic exit, and two bewildered kids in tow-she does the only sensible thing: packs up and drives until the road runs out. That road leads her to Martha's Mountain-a town as quirky as it is comforting, where the general store doubles as a therapy office and personal growth comes with a side of homemade pie. Thrown into a world of unexpected friendships, cozy cider nights, and laughter she didn't know she'd been missing, Lily slowly begins to piece herself back together. She never planned to stay. But the longer she's on the mountain, the more she realizes the messiest detours often lead to the most beautiful destinations.

Behind Closed Doors
It all began when news broke of the 796 babies who died at the 'Bon Secours Mother & Baby Home' in Tuam, Galway. It didn't stop there, the stories that began to unfold were heartbreaking to say the least. I already knew of the 'Magdalene Laundries' which were bad enough, that led me to the movie 'Philomena' which then took me to 'Sean Ross Abbey Mother & Baby Home' in Roscrea, Tipperary. Just when I thought I heard it all I came home to the news of 'Smyllum Park Orphanage' seven miles from my own home, yet the list goes on. What really happened behind closed doors? Most importantly what made the church & state think that they could get away with lies, abuse, rape, falsifying documents & the illegal adoption of thousands of children?

It was a journey back in time, revealing family history, secrets, laughter, tears, courage, and triumph in the journey of life.MISSYBorn to an alcoholic, drug addict, raised by uncaring foster parents, subjected to ritual abuse at school, married to a drug dealer and child molester, abused by her beloved son, Missy expects the worst from life and she gets it.SUGARHer AKC name was Kay Dee's Bubblin' Brown Sugar, but after she became a part of our family, she was known as Sugar Brunn. This five-pound Yorkshire terrier brought me so much joy and taught me many lessons. She never knew she was tiny, and she never gave up. She never knew that it was anything special to constantly escape the jaws of death. Like the proverbial cat, she truly lived nine lives.ISRAELIt was Thanksgiving when we got the news, and although we went through the motions of Thanksgiving dinner, it was hard to get into the spirit of it. As Carrie said, "I have nothing to be thankful for." Our friend Israel was dead. It was so hard to believe. How could someone so full of life be dead? And yet there were things to be thankful for. We could be thankful that we knew him and that for six years he enriched our lives. Israel was outrageous, crazy, and exasperating, but he was also friendly, loving, and generous. He had more chutzpah than anyone I've ever known, but he also had more charisma.

The Other Significant Others
NATIONAL BESTSELLERAN INDIE BESTSELLER "The Other Significant Others...fundamentally, it's become my new Bible." -- Trevor Noah"An arresting work of compassion and insight." ―Lori Gottlieb"I loved and recommend [The Other Significant Others] to everybody." --Ezra Klein"I feel like I've been waiting for this book for my entire adult life." ―Anne Helen Petersen Why do we assume romantic relationships are more important than friendships? What do we lose when we expect a spouse to meet all our needs? And what can we learn about commitment, love, and family from people who put deep friendship at the center of their lives? In The Other Significant Others, NPR's Rhaina Cohen invites us into the lives of people who have defied convention by choosing a friend as a life partner--these are friends who are home co-owners, co-parents or each other's caregivers. Their riveting stories unsettle widespread assumptions about relationships, including the idea that sex is a defining feature of partnership and that people who raise kids together should be in a romantic relationship. Platonic partners from different walks of life--spanning age and religion, gender and sexuality and more--reveal how freeing and challenging it can be to embrace a relationship model that society doesn't recognize. And they show that orienting your world around friends isn't limited to daydreams and episodes of The Golden Girls, but actually possible in real life. Based on years of original reporting and striking social science research, Cohen argues that we undermine romantic relationships by expecting too much of them, while we diminish friendships by expecting too little of them. She traces how, throughout history, our society hasn't always fixated on marriage as the greatest source of meaning, or even love. At a time when many Americans are spending large stretches of their lives single, widowed or divorced, or feeling the effects of the "loneliness epidemic," Cohen insists that we recognize the many forms of profound connection that can anchor our lives. A rousing and incisive book, The Other Significant Others challenges us to ask what we want from our relationships--not just what we're supposed to want--and transforms how we define a fulfilling life.
Let’s Skip the Bull
When she died, I expected to find a book-a book she left behind for you to follow and learn what she was really thinking as she wrestled with life, faith, and death toward the end. But she did not. So her words will be woven with mine to you. In a way, through me, you will also hear from her. If you died tomorrow, what would you want your kids to learn from your conversations? Let's Skip the Bull cuts straight to the heart, with characteristic wit and off-kilter humor, Daryl Calfee shares practical advice for his children on life, death, relationships, religion, grief, principles, money, and working as a creative in a corporate setting, interspersed with gut-busting or thought-provoking (and sometimes hilariously gut-churning) stories from growing up on his families' farm in rural West Virginia.Daryl takes an honest, unflinching approach to the realities of spouse loss, offering hard-won wisdom on how to endure grief with kindness and strength of character. Above all, he insists on the importance of raising kids to be anti-fragile-to understand death as a fact of life and face challenges with courage and conviction, growing stronger in the weathering.
