A unique perspective on the last months of WWII and the allied occupation of Europe, this personal, yet universal, story highlights the "overwhelming sense of the continuity of history." Jim McKay heads for combat as his troop ship leaves New York in November, 1944. The young battalion surgeon leaves his bride, Liz, behind for an ordeal that will shape his life. Jim's letters portray an ambitious young doctor struggling to treat the 500 men of his battalion, lead his medics, and keep himself sane while longing for the woman he left behind. Within a week of landing, Jim's battalion is thrown into the Battle of the Bulge. Through the next five months of combat and 15 months of occupation, Jim describes his anger and frustration, his challenges and rewards, and his love for Liz. He emerges a top-notch doctor with a world view that will carry him through his long life. Well-educated and sophisticated, fluent in German and French, Jim's view of Europe is quickly shattered. After a week of combat his pre-war respect for German culture turns to revulsion. After the war, he is assigned to establish a hospital in Germany. He comes to terms with the defeated Germans around him, including prewar German friends struggling to survive. The author is Jim's son Tim, who weaves excerpts from Jim's letters with the memories they provoke and research into his father's battalion, both at the National Archives and in Europe. Letters to a War Bride is both an intimate portrait of a driven, honorable, and loving man, and a fascinating glimpse into the formative years of the Greatest Generation.

Merry Dawn Venture, two years past "the big four-o" and still single, realizes her life is "as aimless as the random patterns of confetti" she always throws into the air on her birthday. On occasion, Merry has dinner-and-drinks with Shellie, Gloria, and Caprice, her three acquaintances (Merry Dawn Venture does not have close friends). None of them would notice Merry in a crowd, but as clients of the decorator studio Merry manages, they all agree that she is one lonely woman and invite her to join them. On their nights of "whine and wine," Merry listens to them bemoan the lack of quality single men while she silently wonders, "Will there ever be someone in my life?" Merry is successful in her career but sees her work world as the "alter ego of her otherwise uneventful existence"--at least until Randy Grant reenters her life. Charming, handsome, sometimes aloof, and often a complete mystery to Merry, is he destined to be just another client (albeit a wealthy one), or could there be something more . . . ? Barbara Shorr's luscious novel, Mansion Dreams, is jam-packed with rich detail and evocative images of Merry's life in a small New England town. Her descriptive narrative of Merry's introduction to the glorious island of Palm Beach, along with genuine and believable characters, will draw you in and hold you until the satisfying and entirely delightful conclusion.

YES YOU CAN: - Change your habits- Reduce your levels of anxiety and depression- Increase satisfaction with your life WITHOUT: - Joining an ashram- Sitting for hours in a meditative trance- Forgoing life's pleasures Too busy, too impatient, too preoccupied to read a book about mindfulness and meditation? Then this is the book for you. Zen on the Run offers readers a clear, concise introduction to the basic concept and practice of mindfulness, a life-altering model for living life to the fullest. In simple, easy-to-follow language and with helpful examples, this book will show you how mindfulness can help you re-embrace life and experience a fuller, more compassionate, more joyful existence--all in a New York minute! Finally a no-nonsense, get-to-the-point, practical approach to mindfulness and meditation! ***** I've written a short book on mindfulness. The very title, "Zen on the Run: Mindfulness in a New York Minute" encapsulates the focus of this work. It is brief and easily accessible. It's targeted to those (not just New Yorkers) who multitask, are inattentive to the world they live in and blot out the essence of being present, (i.e., they're not fully living their lives). The format of this book is Q & A. This book fills a niche: it's target audience is those who are put off by lengthy, fuzzy, and spiritually focused treatises, they want haiku, not an epic poem, a text message not a page-long letter. My book is short, to the point, somewhat humorous, yet no-nonsense.

Windy Hill is a book of many stories about my life and my family. It tells of: - a girl, born a "bastard" in a small town, yet who managed to go through life not dwelling on being a victim. - a lifelong search for a real father and his approval. - a young woman who finally met the "right man." - a family with five daughters and two sons willing to take unbelievable risks. - an extended family, who opened their home to over two hundred kids-without public funding, but with the help of a friendly doctor, free lawyers, and the Good Lord. - a father who quit his job to follow his dream and made that dream-the American dream-come true. - and the struggles of a woman who forayed into politics, and who constantly wrestled with an unyielding bureaucracy. These stories are shared because I believe the life lessons I have learned might be helpful to others. Windy Hill belongs to many. I have just been the instrument to get the story told.

A lakeside community defends itself from hydrofracking and gas storage in this environmental thriller, the sequel to Michael J. Fitzgerald's The Fracking War. Is this a band of eco-terrorists, as defined by U.S. law, or are they just good citizens desperate to defend their homes, their community and their water? Crusading newspaper publisher Jack Stafford once again sets the stage for a familiar political scenario - how the U.S. government could silence energy industry critics and activists by labeling them 'eco-terrorists.' "Fracking Justice captures exactly what is at stake, both for the planet and for our freedoms." Will Potter, author, Green Is The New Red "Read this page-turner and then pass it on." Josh Fox, director of Gasland and Gasland 2 "Fracking Justice is a smart, powerful page-turner in a genre we need more of - environmental thriller. It's exciting, edge-of-your-seat writing and all the more scary because it's so timely." Ellie Ashe, author, Chasing the Dollar

Many people ask why more Catholic priests don't speak up about the crisis roiling the Church: the rampant sexual abuse of children and youth, the second-class status of women, the denial of dignity and respect for gay and lesbian persons, and the woeful and at times criminal behavior of bishops. Crying Out for Justice Full-Throated and Unsparingly is one priest's personal story of awakening to the urgent need for structural reform. Tim Stier's 25 years of experience as a parish priest in five parishes in the suburbs of Oakland, California, and ten more years in voluntary exile, provide ample evidence that the Catholic Church is in dire need of change. Real reform requires truth telling and this book does a lot of that. The abysmal leadership in many dioceses and parishes causes real suffering to real people.
