Book excerpt: When you're living one step at a time, the next one could change your life...forever. Love is the last thing on Jack Harrington's mind when he sets out to meet Andi Walsh's flight. Recently back to work after spending more than a year tending to his comatose wife, Jack is focused on getting through each day and caring for his three daughters. However, the moment he sets eyes on Andrea Walsh, the interior designer who has come to decorate the hotel his company is building in Newport, Rhode Island, Jack begins to wonder if Andi might be his second chance. After a disastrous marriage, Andi, single mom to a hearing-impaired son, isn't exactly looking for love, either, but that's what she finds with Jack. The two embark on a long-distance relationship fraught with challenges as they balance the needs of their children and dueling careers while Jack continues to care for his wife, Clare. Just when Jack thinks his life is once again settled, he is confronted with a new challenge that tests him in ways he never could've imagined, leaving him to wonder if "happily ever after" is in the cards for him.

Book excerpt: If they can find a way to work together, Sean & Julian might be able to save a friend and each other in the process. After devoting eighteen years of his life to the US Navy, Petty Officer First Class Shane Parker is struggling with the very real possibility of becoming unnecessary. If he doesn’t make Chief Petty Officer before his twenty—and it doesn’t seem likely that he will—he’ll be retired from active service and placed on the Fleet Reserve list until his mooring lines are officially cut forever. While it would all be very honorable and ceremonial, he simply wasn’t civilian material. Before even swearing-in, Julian Brand knew he wasn’t cut out to be a soldier, but refusing wasn’t an option. Generations of Brand man made careers in the military and the expectation of every Brand son was to follow in those prestigious footsteps. Though the prospect of being rolled back hindered his every step, he survived Battle Stations and did his time. Six years out of uniform and Julian still struggles to find familial acceptance as he fights to live life on his terms. On the surface, they couldn’t be more different, but when Jared Ramos calls, neither are capable of refusing.

Book excerpt: Ten years ago this month, I wrote THE END for the first time in TREADING WATER. At that time, I never could’ve imagined the amazing journey I was about to embark upon and how it would change my life, my family’s life and the lives of many of my friends and family who now work with me. But on that afternoon of May 18, 2005, all I could focus on was the singular feeling that comes with actually finishing a book for the first time. There are no words to describe the thrill, the sense of accomplishment and the fear of what comes next. I remember those feelings as if they were yesterday rather than ten long years ago. Forty-one books later, I still get a thrill out of writing THE END, but nothing will ever compare to finishing TREADING WATER. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of that amazing day, I’m thrilled to bring you the Treading Water Series Box Set, available for the first time on May 18, 2015. Thank you to all the readers who’ve made the dream that began on that long ago day come true in every possible way. I hope you enjoy this box set! xoxo Marie

Download or read book Treading Water written by Sydney Hanley and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney Hanley was four years old when her mom gave her the nickname “Fishy Girl.” Growing up by a lake, Sydney was always in the water—often deeper than her mother would have liked. She played mermaids with her sister, catch with her brothers, and swam laps to her neighbors’ buoys and back. She would spend hours in the lake for days at a time. She could never just be by the water; if she was near it, she had to go under, had to swim. At freshly nineteen, in the spring of her senior year of high school, Sydney learned how to properly tread water for the first time. Now in college, Sydney reflects on her time spent as an athlete throughout her life with her memoir, Treading Water. She refuses to hold back the raw moments of her journey toward college athletics as she extends a lifeline to those struggling in a world obsessed with the curation of self-images. Treading Water breaks into “writing sketches” to convey Sydney’s personal entrapment with the relentless pursuit of perfection, the emotional toll of being consistently reduced to statistics, and the lull that follows a blatant failure to meet expectations. The memoir also delves into critical moments in Sydney’s life where seeking help and embracing vulnerability propelled her toward a stage of healing and self-acceptance. With Treading Water, Sydney shares how sometimes just keeping her head above water was exhausting. Sometimes, she even gave up completely. But ultimately, she created her own path back to self-fulfillment and acceptance. Her memoir is a testament to the importance of mental health in sports, the courage it takes to speak out, and the strength in the legs of those still treading.
