    Book: Guiding Emily: A Tale Of Love, Loss, And Courage...

    -Titulo Original : Guiding Emily: A Tale Of Love, Loss, And Courage (Guiding Emily Series)-Fabricante : Casa Del Northern Publishing-Descripcion Original: Book: Guiding Emily: A Tale Of Love, Loss, And Courage (guiding Emily Series) - Paperback Review Guiding Emily takes readers through the heartbreak, the fear, and the triumph that so many of our visually impaired adult clients face. At the Foundation for Blind Children, we believe vision loss is a diagnosis, not a disability. Read this book--Emily Main personifies that belief, as she digs deep to find the confidence and strength she never knew she had. -- Marc Ashton, CEO, Foundation for Blind Children A page-turning, informative read with a tender shoutout to service dogs. Hinskes emotionally charged novel toggles between the storylines of a successful programmer who has gone blind and an earnest pup determined to ace his training as a guide dog. The tale begins with first-person narration by Garth, a guide dog who is excited about being introduced to Emily. The woman who would become everything to me. On his way to meet her, something on the carpet distracts him. Is that a Cheeto? A Crunchy Cheeto? he thinks. I love Crunchy Cheetos. Flashback to Emily Main, who is in Fiji with her fiance, Connor Harrington III, for their destination wedding. They are a power couple--hes a top salesman for a large corporation; shes a lead programmer. Emily suffers from myopic degeneration, which could result in detached retinas, and a fall from horseback causes her to lose her eyesight. Emily, a fiercely independent woman, plummets into a deep depression from which she would not have recovered had it not been for Dhruv, a programmer on her team at work. Dhruv convinces her to attend classes at the Foundation for the Blind, where she confronts her fears, learning skills for living independently. Meanwhile, and separately, Garth undergoes his own rigorous instruction and struggles, including a traumatizing incident in a restaurant where he is attacked by another dog. The two narratives do not converge until the concluding chapters of the novel. Hinske rotates third-person narration of Emilys story with delightful chapters written in Garths voice. Despite the dogs own anxieties, he provides the novel with comic relief. During a training session on navigating stairs, Garth observes a two-legged mother with a mass of gray curls on top of her head approaching, and he notes, Ive seen four-legged mothers with that hairstyle--theyre called poodles. While Emily grows into a fully developed character as the story progresses, Connor remains a superficial player. But it is the persistent kindness of secondary character Dhruv that will capture readers hearts. -- Kirkus Reviews A page-turning, informative read with a tender shoutout to service dogs.

    -Titulo Original : The Enigma Affair: A Novel-Fabricante : Blackstone Publishing-Descripcion Original: Review The Enigma Affair is a modern thriller with first-class historical credentials. A globetrotting page-turner where the characters take center stage. A clever librarian and an assassin named Nemo team up in a story thats part Ken Folllett, part Raiders of the Lost Ark, and as clever as anything Lovett has written. A smart roller-coaster ride from start to finish. I want more books like this one! --M. L. Huie, author of the Livy Nash historical mysteries In the latest from veteran literary mystery writer Charlie Lovett, a professional assassin and a librarian team up to unravel a literary mystery, decipher a coded message from WWII, and fight the fascists. This action-packed adventure gave me serious Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes. --Anne Bogel, creator of Modern Mrs. Darcy and host of What Should I Read Next? Rollicking...The pages fly by. This prose mash-up of National Treasure and Indiana Jones is fun escapist fare. --Publishers Weekly Product Description In this propulsive historical thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Escaping Dreamland, a librarian and a professional assassin team up to solve a seventy-five-year-old Nazi mystery and stop a nefarious opponent from wreaking havoc on the world. When small-town librarian Patton Harcourt comes under fire one morning while making profiteroles, she has no choice but to trust the mysterious assassin, Nemo, who shows up in her kitchen. Fleeing a pair of German thugs, the two form an unlikely alliance as they try to decipher a seventy-five-year-old message encoded by Nazis on an Enigma machine. Traveling to Bletchley Park in England, they enlist the aid of Patton s old flame, Ruthie Drinkwater, an expert on Enigma. The trio soon finds themselves on the run, pursued by both the police and Ingrid Weiss, a white supremacist trying to unlock the secret of Heinrich Himmler s research into alchemy. If Patton, Nemo, and their cohorts can survive a host of dangers -- from trained killers to explosions to imprisonment -- they might be able to prevent Weiss from acquiring untold wealth to promote her racist agenda. In this fast-paced thriller with a thoroughly researched World War II background, a mismatched cadre of heroes, including an art historian, a museum docent, and a collector of Nazi artifacts, must work together to stop a ruthless and resourceful opponent. Racing across Europe, attempting to outfox Weiss and her associates at every turn, Patton and her team mount a complex operation. But can they withstand double crosses and dark secrets from Patton s military past to defeat Ingrid Weiss and discover the secret of Projekt Alchemie? About the Author CHARLIE LOVETT is the New York Times bestselling author of four previous novels, including The Bookmans Tale and Escaping Dreamland.

Based on the little-known story of America s first nursing school, a young female grifter in 1880s New York evades the police by conning her way into Bellevue Hospital s training school for nurses, while a spate of murders continues to follow her as she tries to leave the gritty streets of the city behind...

This is historical fiction at its finest! – Sara Ackerman, USA Today bestselling author of The Codebreaker s Secret BookBub s Best Historical Fiction of Summer Based on Florence Nightingale s nursing principles, Bellevue is the first school of its kind in the country. Where once nurses were assumed to be ignorant and unskilled, Bellevue prizes discipline, intellect, and moral character, and only young women of good breeding need apply. At first, Una balks at her prim classmates and the doctors endless commands. Yet life on the streets has prepared her for the horrors of injury and disease found on the wards, and she slowly gains friendship and self-respect. Just as she finds her footing, Una s suspicions about a patient s death put her at risk of exposure, and will force her to choose between her instinct for self-preservation, and exposing her identity in order to save others.

For Riley Thorn it is. Divorced. Broke. Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she s diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they re clairvoyant visions. Just when things can t get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for a neighbor...who turns up murdered. Nick Santiago doesn t play well with others. Unless the others are of the female persuasion. Wink. He s a rebel, a black sheep, a man who prefers a buffet of options to being stuck with the same entree every night, if you catch his drift. When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. Only because he likes solving mysteries not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress. All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep the by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. All before the killer discovers she s a loose end that requires snipping. Review Jess Moro, Frolic Media Journalist ~ I would read Lucy Scores grocery list.

    Book: Live Wire: Long-winded Short Stories - Hardcover

    -Titulo Original : Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories-Fabricante : Dey Street Books-Descripcion Original: Product Description A sharp, funny, and honest collection of real-life stories from Kelly Ripa, showing the many dimensions and crackling wit of the beloved daytime talk show host. In Live Wire, her first book, Kelly shows what really makes her tick. As a professional, as a wife, as a daughter and as a mother, she brings a hard-earned wisdom and an eye for the absurdity of life to every minute of every day. It is her relatability in all of these roles that has earned her fans worldwide and millions of followers on social media. Whether recounting how she and Mark really met, the level of chauvinism she experienced on set, how Jersey Pride follows her wherever she goes, and many, many moments of utter mortification (whence she proves that you cannot, in fact, die of embarrassment) Kelly always tells it like it is. Ms. Ripa takes no prisoners. Surprising, at times savage, a little shameless and always with humor... Live Wire shows Kelly as she really is offscreen a very wise woman who has something to say. Review This laugh-out-loud book is a must-read for Ripa s legions of fans. Bustle Ripa has a penchant for name-dropping and rambling (or, as she puts it, making a long story, longer), but her essays are unapologetic, uninhibited, and undeniably hilarious. This banter-filled collection will delight daytime television devotees. Publishers Weekly About the Author Kelly Ripa is one of the most powerful voices in media, with a diverse body of work both on and off the camera. A household name for more than two decades and a career at ABC spanning over 30 years, Ripa has welcomed viewers with her sharp wit every morning as the host of the award-winning Live franchise. Having established Live as a major destination for entertainers, politicians, athletes and other cultural icons during her over 20 year stint as host, Ripa has been honored with six Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards for Outstanding Talk Show Host and 15 Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show, with a win in the category in 2012. Beginning her career in entertainment as an actress, Ripa s success spans across numerous celebrated television series playing various roles. First appearing on the soap opera All My Children, where she met her husband Mark Consuelos on set, Ripa earned three Daytime Emmy nominations. Ripa additionally guest-starred on an episode of the hit comedy series Broad City, where her performance, playing an alternate version of her television persona, was met with rave reviews. Ripa also starred in three seasons of the half-hour ABC sitcom Hope and Faith and in 2003, took a turn in TV s most coveted role, hosting Saturday Night Live. Ripa and her husband ventured into the development side of entertainment when they began their NY-based production company, Milojo Productions. Milojo produces and creates content across multiple platforms, working with Bravo, Logo, VH1, E!, CMT, HGTV, WeTV, TLC, Oxygen, ABC Signature, Hulu and Discovery. Additionally, Milojo produced Emmy-nominated documentary The Streak for ESPN and critically-acclaimed documentary Off The Rez for TLC.

She is also consistently recognized by The Hollywood Reporter and has been named as part of its annual Women in Entertainment Power 100 list, as well as the publication s 35 Most Powerful People in Media. In September 2022, Ripa will add author to her resume, when her collection Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories is published by Dey Street Books.

A highly practical road map. Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author and lead pastor of National Community Church Despite the overwhelming amount of resources for time management and work-life balance, the ability to cultivate the efficiency and equilibrium needed to manage all our worthy pursuits can often feel frustratingly out of reach. The reason for our struggle is that productivity and time-management systems focus on individual habits rather than more meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes. But as it turns out, there is a better way to reach our full potential. We don t need just another approach to changing our habits. What we need is an operating system that takes into account the full scope of our lives. In these pages, bestselling author Jordan Raynor presents this system, using seven powerful time- management principles drawn from the example of how Jesus lived: 1. Start with the Word: Find meaningful connection with the author of time daily. 2. Let Your Yes Be Yes: Accept only the commitments you can fulfill. 3. Dissent from the Kingdom of Noise: Create room for silence, stillness, and reflection. 4. Prioritize Your Yeses: Confidently maintain your commitments. 5. Accept Your Unipresence: Focus on one important thing at a time. 6. Embrace Productive Rest: Live the God-designed rhythms of rest which are productive for our goals and souls. 7. Eliminate All Hurry: Embrace productive busyness while ruthlessly eliminating hurry from our lives. With these principles, you ll see how Jesus managed his time on earth and how he responded to human constraints much like the ones you face today. More than that, you ll discover corresponding practices that will help you embrace the best, most Christlike version of yourself possible: purposeful, present, and wildly productive. Review Jordan Raynor s paradigm of purpose, presence, and productivity is excellent. But learning it from Jesus? That s the magic. John Mark Comer, bestselling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry Mixing the theological and the tactical, Jordan Raynor offers a deeply original and practical take on time management, busyness, and the human urge toward living meaningfully. Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Deep Work If wisdom had weight, this book would weigh a thousand pounds. Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Soundtracks What can we learn about time management from the life of Christ? It turns out, quite a lot! I m so grateful Jordan has written this book. Janeen Uzzell, COO of Wikipedia Jordan is your guide to a better way, giving you a highly practical road map to redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5: 16). Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker . . . an outstanding guidebook to help you steward your time . . . Dee Ann Turner, former vice president of talent and sustainability at Chick-fil-A Balance is not something you just achieve. It must be designed. In Redeeming Your Time, Jordan shows you how.

    Book: ethal Objection: An Edward Mead Legal Thriller: Book 2

    -Titulo Original : Lethal Objection: An Edward Mead Legal Thriller: Book Two-Fabricante : Independently Published-Descripcion Original: About the Author I had never even read a novel until I got to prison, said bestseller author Michael Swiger, and now I write them. Swiger discovered his love of reading and gift for writing after being sentenced to 21-50 years after refusing to testify at his older brothers murder trial. The Ohio Supreme Court later overturned his conviction, but not before Swiger served 17 years. While incarcerated Swiger earned two Associates Degrees with a 4.0 GPA, went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, before receiving a full scholarship to study theology at the Reformed Theological Seminary. I looked at the one commodity that I had in abundance -time, Swiger said, and I wanted to use every minute to better myself. Swiger became the first Ohio prisoners since William Sydney Porter - better known as O Henry - to become a published author while incarcerated. During his incarceration, Swiger authored five books, placed 2ndin the St. Martins Press national mystery writing contest, and shared a literary agency with Alan Dershowitz. Swigers spiritual journey during his incarceration is chronicled in a book published by Our Daily Bread entitled God Has a Plan. Free copies are available at: God Has a Plan |Discovery Series. Swiger serves as Executive Director of True Freedom, Ohios largest prison ministry with ten paid staff and over 150 volunteers, actively engaged in prison ministry, addiction recovery, and homeless outreach, all across the Ohio. In 2019 True Freedom touched nearly65,000 lives, averaging over 200 classes, programs, or services every month inside the prison system. True Freedom also provided nearly 17,000 hot meals to the homeless on the streets of Cleveland and provided Addiction Recovery programming to over 3,000 individuals in Northeast Ohio. See TrueFreedomMinistries**** Swiger makes his home outside of Cleveland, with his beautiful wife Susan, and two children. Product Description A sensational trial. Dark motives. Deadly secrets. Arrogant and abusive Judge Samuel Chesterfield is murdered in his chambers during a sensational wrongful-death trial brought against a prominent abortionist. Only the four trial lawyers had access. Edward Mead, 77-year-old distinguished law professor, acts as special prosecutor. Still brilliant but struggling with the ravages of age and the recent death of his wife, Mead is thrust headlong into a lethal maelstrom of crime and corruption that threatens to submerge his mind and body, with the slightest misstep costing his life. Special Agent Sarah Riehl sees the case as her one chance to shatter the glass ceiling that has suffocated her career at the FBI. Her impetuous drive to succeed recklessly propels her on a deadly gambit where the hunter becomes the prey. This fast-paced legal thriller ripped from todays headlines combines the action and suspense of John Grisham with the classic twists and turns of an Agatha Christie locked room murder mystery, leaving the reader breathlessly guessing until the final page. With suspense on every page, ELBAZARDIGITAL #1 Best-Selling author Michael Swiger demonstrates why he is a favorite among mystery, suspense and thriller fans. Fans of Creston Mapes, Robert Whitlow, Scott Pratt, John Grisham and James Patterson will love this thriller from award-winning and bestselling author Michael Swiger. Reader praise for Lethal Objection: ----- Excellent!! - As far as I am concerned this guy is light years ahead of Grisham and Patterson...just a GREAT author....GREAT story....PERIOD. ----- An important case; verdict is in; judge is murdered in chambers...This is the second Edward Mead thriller; soooo good!

    Book: All The Forgivenesses - Paperback

    -Titulo Original : All The Forgivenesses-Fabricante : John Scognamiglio Book-Descripcion Original: Product Description Set in Appalachia and the Midwest at the turn of the twentieth century and inspired by the authors family lore, this exquisite novel paints an intimately rendered portrait of one resilient farm familys challenges and hard-won triumphs--helmed by an unforgettable heroine. Growing up on their hardscrabble farm in rural Kentucky, fifteen-year-old Albertina Bertie Winslow has learned a lot from her mama, Polly. She knows how to lance a boil, make a pie crust, butcher a pig, and tend to every chore that needs doing. What she doesnt know, but is forced to reckon with all too soon, is how to look after children as a mother should... When Polly succumbs to a long illness, Bertie takes on responsibility for her four younger siblings and their dissolute, unreliable daddy. Yet no matter how hard she tries to hold the family together; the task is overwhelming. Nine-year-old Dacia, especially, is resentful and stubborn, hinting at secrets in their mamas life. Finally, Bertie makes the only choice she can--breaking up the family for its own survival, keeping the girls with her, sending the boys off to their grown brothers, long gone from home. Ever pragmatic, Bertie marries young, grateful to find a husband willing to take on the care of her sisters, and eventually moves to the oil fields of Kansas. But marriage alone cannot resolve the grief and guilt she carries over a long-ago tragedy, or prepare her for the heartaches still to come. Only by confronting wrenching truths can she open herself to joy--and learn how to not only give, but receive, unfettered love. Inspired by stories told by the authors mother and aunts, All the Forgivenesses is as authentic as it is lyrical--a captivating novel of family loyalty, redemption, and resilience. About the Author Elizabeth Hardinger was born and raised in Kansas. She holds a BA in English from McPherson College and an MFA from Wichita State University. She lives with her husband in Eugene, Oregon, where she occasionally copyedits technical and academic books. All the Forgivenesses, her debut novel, draws on family lore about life in a tarpaper shack during the Kansas oil boom of the 1920s.
