In this compelling memoir, Shawn Elizabeth George is transparent about her struggles with anxiety and depression, and other stumbling blocks along her journey in life. She lived with fear as her core, seeking anything outside herself to bring her peace. When she fell into her deepest pit of depression, hitting a wall with her spiritual walk with yoga, she was turned upside down. It was when she began to mingle with her Christian roots she started gaining traction back in her life. When she started infusing God's love into her marriage, parenting, finances, and more, her life was transformed. Shawn's story will encourage you to stop living defined by your struggles and inspire you to live from the inside out with love as your core.

Matthew Brennan's Snow in New York is his sixth full collection of poetry, and it brings together his best poems written during the last forty years. Whether in free verse, blank verse, or rhyme, Brennan's poems betray close attention to form while evoking the senses through concrete images and the imagination through vivid figurative language. His subjects cover family, love, and memory, as well as art, history, and landscape. Whether in personal lyrics or in dramatic monologues, Brennan speaks directly, musically, and emotionally. Besides selections from Seeing in the Dark, The Music of Exile, The Sea-Crossing of Saint Brendan, The House with the Mansard Roof, and One Life, this new book includes more than twenty new poems.

"Matthew Brennan''s impressively wide-ranging new volume marks a major imaginative breakthrough for an already fine poet. Mixing personal memory and cultural history, Brennan''s poems incisively chronicle the joys, sorrows, and astonishments of a now vanished Twentieth Century America"&mdashDana Gioia.
