Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marigold Girls(TM) is a guide and workbook with activities and journaling, all rolled into one! It was developed by an educational psychologist and written directly to girls in a warm, honest and personal way. The cheerfully illustrated, 130-page book is a must-have for 'tween and early teen girls who like to analyze the world around them and understand the "hows" and "whys" things happen to them and their peers. Most girls have heard the phrase "Mean Girls" before, but how many can say they really know what that means? And if they do, how many girls have really ever been taught how to manage these relationships and the feelings that go along with them? This book was written JUST for girls, to help them understand and navigate relational aggression. By teaching girls how to recognize and understand the behavior of themselves and others, we give them tools to change their perspective in order to manage these relationships objectively and not become overwhelmed by taking them personally. The book includes 8 chapters that each begin with educational information and then reinforce it with thoughtful activities and journaling. At the end, girls are invited to participate in a 30-day journaling activity that will help reinforce the lessons learned. Girls are encouraged to return to the book whenever needed, to revisit the information and apply it to whatever circumstances they are experiencing at that time.

So when Reese goes missing after attending Last Chance, an exclusive singles’ retreat off the coast of Hawaii, Ann infiltrates the retreat. Quickly, Ann realizes there’s more to Last Chance than meets the eye. With its extravagant clothes, never-ending interviews, and bizarre dates, Ann begins to suspect the retreat is a front for a reality dating show. Could Reese be safe and sound, keeping a low profile until the premier, or did something more sinister occur? As Ann traces Reese’s last known movements, partakes in the unusual “journey,” and meets the other attendees who all have something to hide, she jeopardizes her career, her sanity, and her life to find her missing friend. Told from the perspective of both Ann and Reese, Beneath the Marigolds is a fast-paced thriller that explores friendship, women in recovery, and the traditional marriage path idealized by today’s numerous dating and relationship reality shows.

Until one day, returning soldiers begin to take refuge within their walls, and the flowers see their first blooms in these four Regency romances. A Duke for Daisy The moment Nathaniel steps foot into The Wild Rose Inn simply as Mr. Hawke, everything changes. He is constantly tested by the stubborn and opinionated eldest daughter of the innkeeper, yet he cannot seem to keep away from her. Daisy Tavers, in turn, wants nothing more than for the arrogant, self-righteous man to leave the inn and her family, for he is clearly hiding something he has no wish to share. Everything about Daisy and Nathaniel should mean they are absolutely wrong for another. Yet the more time they spend together, the more they cannot deny that they are inexplicably drawn to one another. When Nathaniel must assume the life of a duke, however, whatever will happen to Daisy? A Marquess for Marigold Jacob Rothschild, the Marquess of Dorchester, arrives at The Wild Rose Inn having survived the war, but left with a scar across his face that matches the one across his heart. While the bitter marquess manages to keep most away with his surliness, Marigold Tavners has never been able to resist an attempt to heal a broken soul — even if this particular one has no wish to be tended to. The more time they spend together, the more he opens up. But can he do so enough to ever love again? An Earl for Iris Iris Tavners met the man of her dreams -- but found out that he was in love with someone else.
