Growing Into a Mature Marriagefrom Kindergarten to College
Marriage is an interesting trip. Never think that you're by yourself on the journey. Married people all over the world are having the same frustrations, questions, and challenges that led you to this book.The goal is not to insult your intelligence by minimizing the complications of life and marriage through comparisons to elementary schooling. I have been inspired, however, from a lifetime of working with children and teens as a young wife and mother; and being flooded with revelation of an undeniable connection between the standards and lessons set forth in the school system with those of an evolving marriage.I am ever indebted to the students and teachers who have taught me invaluable lessons and for being a doorway to a higher level of learning. Regarding educating ourselves into successful lives with our spouses and children, the cost of such an education is priceless and will leave you in positive cash flow rather than student debt.Great relationships refine the world. Learning how to better relate to ourselves and others will bring the peace we desire. Even if we focus only within our own circle of relationships, improving them will be a stimulant to influence change in the world--one marriage at a time.

The Situation
The Situation - A Radical Journey Thru Sisterhood is an intimate portrayal of two sisters, Carolyn and Lila, whose lives are deeply intertwined over forty years. "The official FDNY response time to 9/11 was ?five seconds. ?Five seconds. That's how long it took for FDNY, for NYPD, for Port Authority, EMS to respond to an urgent need from the public. ?Five seconds. Hundreds died in an instant. Thousands more poured in to continue to fight for their brothers and sisters. The breathing problems started almost immediately and they were told they weren't sick, they were crazy. And then, as the illnesses got worse, and things became more apparent, "?W?ell?, ? okay, you're sick?, ? but it's not from the pile." And then when the science became irrefutable, "?O?kay, it's the pile, but this is a New York issue. I don't know if we have the money."And I'm sorry if I sound angry and undiplomatic. But I'm angry, and you should be too, and they're all angry as well and they have every justification to be that way...Your indifference cost these men and women their most valuable commodity: time. It's the one thing they're running out of."- Jon Stewart's testimony before Congress Jon Stewart's testimony before Congress reminded America - in scathing terms - of their responsibility to 9/11 first responders, but the effects of that day spread to nearby residents as well. Carolyn Glasoe Bailey owned an art gallery in lower Manhattan, and years later in Los Angeles, she was diagnosed with brain cancer. Her doctors told her it was mostly likely due to her proximity to Ground Zero. When Jon Stewart took to CSPAN, it moved Lila Glasoe Francese, her sister, to finally release the book she wrote about Carolyn's journey. When Carolyn is diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer, Lila is unaware of the complexity of the diagnosis and unprepared for the devastating path to come. When she was told she had cancer, Carolyn opted into treatment, even knowing it might change her personality. At that time, Lila went to search for a book to help her understand what her sister was going through and what her family should expect. She couldn't find anything to support her. So she wrote the book she needed at the time to support others in their own journey. The Situation takes readers on an emotional and intense journey that explores the lifelong bond between siblings and the aching loss of deep relationship. Like When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi and Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, it deals intimately with the choices terminal patients face, and the effect of those choices on those who love them.

Pieces of Victory
If telling this story can bring the darkness of these types of institutions into the light, we need to share it so the abuse can stop... -Ryjin Pearson, FilmmakerWhat would you do if you were held captive behind an electrical barbed wire, 12-foot fence without due process?At the age of 16, Jeneen Miller was prosecuted without a fair trial for telling a family-kept secret about a wrongdoing that was perpetrated by the hands of her uncle. After bravely coming forth to her family, they were not open to the truth. Jeneen's justifiable rage was wrongfully mistaken by her parents when they assumed she was experimenting with drugs and alcohol. In 1988, Jeneen's parents used trickery to achieve the ultimate betrayal. Instead of the therapy they promised Jeneen, they turned her over to a prison camp in spite of her self-discipline, excellent academics and responsible behavior. Trapped in Ramona, California without any communication, she was completely cut off from her soul mate. Letters, phone calls and visitors were forbidden. Pastors and staff justified their actions of isolation as a means of extinguishing the evil out of her and other inmates. This tough love program persecuted girls in the name of God while denying their constitutional rights. While going through this so-called war behind the gates of hell, the only person who kept her grounded was her one true love, Drake McCallister.This is an account of Jeneen's battle to redeem herself after being abused by her family and Victory Christian Academy. Unfortunately, the horrific reality is that these programs still exist today.
Becoming Pearl
This third book in the Loved Back to Life Series, reveals Pearl's personal search for meaning and Purpose in life today when death was the only option she thought existed. She wanted to believe in hope buried very deep in her heart, but that meant trusting in a God she no longer believed. She had survived her traumas and SRA abuses from family and cults through a survival mechanism known as Dissociative Identity (Disorder or DID). Learning why God allowed this is the point of her autobiography...not in the how but in the Who. She cries out to God through Jesus to explain why she should keep on living carrying these memories of abuse, pain and suffering that still controlled her choices in life. If He would or could heal her with a reason and will to continue then they would keep talking. How God brings healing to all in her system of people...culminating in one person living today is poignantly revealed in her journaled conversations from the beginning with Jesus, to understand God's love for her and all of His children. She shouts, denies, gives up, submits, challenges, obeys and finally chooses to trust in God's love as He overcomes her fears to live renewed again. As seen in the introductions in each book, God's desire is to give back hope to all who have lost it or had it stolen and empower each of us to rise above our circumstances in life through His eternal love living within and through us.Books 2 & 3 Becoming Pearl & The City of Hope continue their process of discovery, acceptance and trust to reach where they are today, as one person on the path Jesus has put before them... with Jesus revealing how the answers to life's questions bear repeating often in the midst of our struggles and pain...in order to eventually trust in God and not in our own understanding. The drawings and words reflect their ongoing battles to believe in who God is, what He wants for her, and in the reality of the Kingdom of God around us, in us and in the heavens. She knows that nothing new is in her revelations about the Lord or His will that isn't already declared in the Scriptures for everyone...but prays these books will remind those still suffering alone as she did that He is there with them. She shares her hope in the future to become a growing reality to accept y as her heart and ours becomes one with God's heart. Her story truly is an autobiography of God's love.

Sycamore Drive
It's in 1955. Eisenhower is President and the Cold War is at its height, yet life on Sycamore Drive in the mid-sized city of Riverport, Illinois seems idyllic and sweet.Much of the neighborhood's social life centers on St. Mary's Catholic Church, its parish school and a group of families that have known each other for generations. But then the revelation of inappropriate interactions with some of the altar boys at the church comes to light. Suddenly, they and their parents are at the center of the emerging sex abuse scandal, a drama that was unimaginable at the time. After all, the priest was seen as God's representative on earth; the Church was believed to be incapable of harboring evil itself.And so a story known to us all these years later began to play out, featuring the power and influence of the Catholic Church, the belief that an abuser could be safely reassigned after being sent off to be cured, and then the Church's unparalleled effort to protect herself. The strange and unanticipated interaction between two families on Sycamore Drive provides the setting for the beginning of this story. It then grows to reveal a brilliant but eccentric neighbor, a courageous teacher at the school, a young priest who dares to look at signs that others ignore, and, of course, the clergy and church leaders who are either na簿ve or extremely irresponsible - or both. AUTHOR'S NOTEIt didn't need to be this way. I remember experiencing this thought back in 2002 when the explosive news was first reported in Boston about child sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. Many priests were implicated in the pedophilia scandal, but perhaps the most startling revelation was that the Church hierarchy had full knowledge. There was a cover-up at work. The news from Boston was the beginning point. Soon, similar revelations were occurring at different dioceses across the country. The cover-up was extensive. Initially, the Catholic Church used as their defense that the situation was merely the result of a few, disturbed priests and that efforts were underway to reign in the actions of these few. Future prevention efforts were not on the front burner. But as the news revealed widespread cases, and that many of the guilty priests were being transferred from parish to parish to avoid discovery, the Church went into a defensive mode. Some efforts were made to even suggest the cause of the abuse centered on homosexual involvement rather than pedophilia. The public relations' efforts on the part of the Church to minimize the damage continued.It was some time after that I decided to write Sycamore Drive. As a lifelong Catholic, I felt anger and disbelief at the actions of the Catholic hierarchy in trying to deal with the scandal in a less than straightforward manner. Church members were angry, and the lack of acceptance of responsibility was a major reason for this anger. In my hometown, I was aware of one such abusive priest who was linked to dozens of abused children. Ultimately, at his trial, it was revealed that he had been transferred to numerous different parishes through his years of abuse. These transfers occurred after his actions were reported to the Archbishop by irate parents. And in the case of this particular priest, he also revealed that he had told the local hierarchy of his guilt, and asked that he not be allowed to associate with children. His request was denied. There was no culpability, no acceptance of responsibility on the part of the hierarchy.

A Woman’s Strength
A woman from the beginning of time was a gift to man. In today's time we have been devalued, disrespected, and mistreated. Most have settled for the lies the devil has told. We are not what the rappers, women, etc say we are today. We are not the woman number 2, abused Ms. Lu, low self esteem teen, or the bitter baby momma. We are so much more. Life is a journey. And we all have one shot. To think that we could live life without guidance is a close minded decision. It is our season to hear a word from the lord, no more settling and its time we take up our bed. Our way could lead us into destruction. What do we have to lose by giving it all to God and trusting him to direct our steps?
