Newly-arrived in a small Wisconsin town, Christina Tucker now dares to chase her long-cherished dreams: put her wartime nursing skills to use and reconnect with country life. But helping a shell-shocked veteran recover soon tests her determination and disturbs town memories best left buried. She has no choice but to turn to her patient's seemingly-irresponsible brother, Tyler Sutter. A restless ex-soldier, Tyler can't believe this pretty ladylike nurse can heal his family. Yet as Christina begins to understand Tyler's own fears, the two grow close, then closer still-as a terrible secret sparks one man's violent, vengeful spree.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ginger Zee's follow-up to the bestselling Natural Disaster, the ABC chief meteorologist takes readers on a much deeper journey of self discovery. When Ginger Zee opened her life to readers in Natural Disaster, the response was enormous. She put a very relatable if surprising face on depression and has helped lessen the stigma surrounding mental health issues. But Ginger tells us, Natural Disaster was "Ginger Lite" and only scratched the surface. In this moving follow-up, Ginger shares her truest self. She spent most of her life shielding her vulnerabilities from the world all while being a professional people pleaser. Her stormy childhood, her ongoing struggles with crippling depression, her suicide attempts, and many other life experiences will resonate with readers who are likely to see themselves along the way. In spite of its serious subject matter, Ginger's positive, life-affirming outlook comes through loud and clear. Written with great heart and quite a bit of humor, Ginger normalizes issues and challenges millions of people face every day. A Little Closer to Home will broaden the conversation around mental health at a time we need it more than ever.

Book excerpt: To say things don't always go as planned would be an understatement... I met Sarah at the airport. Beautiful. Sexy. And a bit shy. She was wobbling on heels that looked a little too big, so I offered her my seat. At first, she rebuffed my invitation, but I convinced her to stay. My flight had been delayed and I assumed hers had too. I figured why not spend the time together. One drink led to casual conversation--she'd recently been fired and I'd just attended my ex-fiancée's wedding. Three drinks led to getting a little closer--I slid a hand on her thigh and my fingertips under the hem of her skirt. Five drinks led to a proposition--a hotel room and nothing more. After a mind-blowing night of the hottest sex I've ever had, I woke up alone and penniless. Turned out Sarah was looking for more--just not more of me. I should never have offered her my seat. I should never have drunk so much. And I never should have fallen asleep. Not the smartest thing I've ever done. Then again, who would have thought my self-proclaimed one-night stand would screw me in more than the literal sense. That hooking up with Sarah would jeopardize everything I've worked for. That Sarah wasn't really Sarah. If she thinks things are over between us--she's wrong. Turns out, fate didn't throw me the bird after all. "Sarah" doesn't know it yet but she picked the same tropical island to escape to as I did. Can you say--payback? I can. Karma baby. Or that's what I thought--until I fell for her. Too bad things don't always go as planned... *** COME A LITTLE CLOSER is a complete standalone and part of the Imperfect Love Series.

I can almost sense their shadows slipping closer. It’s no time for resting on my heels or falling in love. Besides, I gave that madness up years ago.

We go way back to a time when I wasn’t so broken by the life I’ve chosen. She’s got no clue of the danger she’s trying to bed. She just remembers the good parts.

Download or read book First Ask Why written by Shelly Wildman and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's no secret that parenting is tricky business. With advice flooding in from all sides, strong-willed children pushing against boundaries, and our own human flaws, it's easy to get bogged down in every how-to that we're not doing well. But maybe that isn't the right approach. Maybe the first step is not to ask "how" but to ask "why." Like most parents, when Shelly Wildman had children, she consulted books, sermons, and lectures on how to raise the best children possible. Yet every resource focused on how to get external results: children who behave the way others expected them to. For Shelly and her husband, the turning point happened when they started asking why instead--shifting their focus to internal change. That's when their purpose as parents became clear: parents are called to do their best to show kids how to know and love Jesus, to love others, and to make a difference in the world. There are no rules here, no inflexible series of steps that lead to perfect parenting. Instead, Shelly encourages parents to think about their unique family and why each child's needs for spiritual growth might look different. She walks you through intentional questioning, focusing on building a firm foundation for lasting discipleship. And in the end, you'll discover that God wants the same outcome you do: a child who knows Christ intimately, loves him deeply, and has a heart to serve him fully.
Download or read book The Closer written by Mariano Rivera and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest relief pitcher of all time shares his extraordinary story of survival, love, and baseball. Mariano Rivera, the man who intimidated thousands of batters merely by opening a bullpen door, began his incredible journey as the son of a poor Panamanian fisherman. When first scouted by the Yankees, he didn't even own his own glove. He thought he might make a good mechanic. When discovered, he had never flown in an airplane, had never heard of Babe Ruth, spoke no English, and couldn't imagine Tampa, the city where he was headed to begin a career that would become one of baseball's most iconic. What he did know: that he loved his family and his then girlfriend, Clara, that he could trust in the Lord to guide him, and that he could throw a baseball exactly where he wanted to, every time. With astonishing candor, Rivera tells the story of the championships, the bosses (including The Boss), the rivalries, and the struggles of being a Latino baseball player in the United States and of maintaining Christian values in professional athletics. The thirteen-time All-Star discusses his drive to win; the secrets behind his legendary composure; the story of how he discovered his cut fastball; the untold, pitch-by-pitch account of the ninth inning of Game 7 in the 2001 World Series; and why the lowest moment of his career became one of his greatest blessings. In The Closer, Rivera takes readers into the Yankee clubhouse, where his teammates are his brothers. But he also takes us on that jog from the bullpen to the mound, where the game -- or the season -- rests squarely on his shoulders. We come to understand the laserlike focus that is his hallmark, and how his faith and his family kept his feet firmly on the pitching rubber. Many of the tools he used so consistently and gracefully came from what was inside him for a very long time -- his deep passion for life; his enduring commitment to Clara, whom he met in kindergarten; and his innate sense for getting out of a jam. When Rivera retired, the whole world watched -- and cheered. In The Closer, we come to an even greater appreciation of a legend built from the ground up.

But will the former Ranger find out that the battle is so much sweeter when you surrender? All Cody Johnson wanted to do was forget everything—forget his fiancée who'd dumped him when he was wounded in Afghanistan, forget the military, forget even what it felt like to hold a woman close. The firecracker, Sonya, wasn't allowing that, was she? She was more woman—more everything—than he'd ever met. The trouble was, the harder he fell, the more he feared he'd lose. Sonya Petrok had never considered herself to be the kind of person to sacrifice everything for love, until the day she looked down her gun at a man who'd clearly seen more pain in his life than most. But could she be the one to shelter his heart when she wasn't even certain she had one of her own?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The many thousands of readers of the best-selling Love's Executioner will welcome this paperback edition of an earlier work by Dr. Irvin Yalom, written with Ginny Elkin, a pseudonymous patient whom he treated -- the first book to share the dual reflections of psychiatrist and patient. Ginny Elkin was a troubled young and talented writer whom the psychiatric world had labeled as "schizoid." After trying a variety of therapies, she entered into private treatment with Dr. Irvin Yalom at Stanford University. As part of their work together, they agreed to write separate journals of each of their sessions. Every Day Gets a Little Closer is the product of that arrangement, in which they alternately relate their descriptions and feelings about their therapeutic relationship.
