Lily met Clay in college and went on to travel the world with him as he excelled in his sport. She experienced it all-the fast life, the fame, and the money-but unlike so many others who were dazzled by the glittering world of professional sports, she managed to stay grounded. In the Shadows of Glory ... My NBA Life offers an in-depth, poignant account of living day to day with an NBA player-in fact, living with the NBA itself-from the perspective of "a girl who enjoyed life and fell in love with an athlete, a basketball player."

SEEN FROM A DISTANCE is the story of Cusack, an Iraq war veteran now working for a private security firm. Alienated from his past and haunted by it, too, he lives determinedly in the here and now. His assignment is surveillance of an elderly professor, W.S. Tyler, whose dead son-in-law had ties to a shadowy Senegalese rebel army, accused by the U.S. government of being a terrorist organization. Cusack's preferred method of surveillance - the detached technology of camera and microphone is abruptly abandoned in favor of a role which puts him in Tyler's classroom and soon thereafter in a complicated relationship with his family. Cusack's boss, increasingly obsessed with Tyler, drags Cusack into his hidden agenda where deadly unforeseen events occur in rapid succession and the situation spins rapidly out of control. In the end, Cusack is confronted with choices that will change his future as radically as his earlier choices fixed his past. Seen From A Distance can be read as a character study, or a dramatic adventure or considered for its parallels to political events of the recent past. At every level, it is a terrific read.

In a voice of stark reality and sincere intrigue, Cynthia Lang builds upon a personal legacy left to her in nine spectacular journeys. A legacy may be handed on as a fortune or formidable debt, baseball cards, antique autos, or vermeil coffee spoons. In her collection of short stories it becomes apparent: a legacy is not always so tangible. "Devoid of weight, of volume, some [legacies] take up no room at all. On a journey, for instance, nothing may change hands but tickets. On the other hand..." Traveling through the lives of intriguing and oftentimes enlightening characters, Lang spins a wonderfully interconnected world for the reader to consider: nine characters, each inheriting a legacy and collectively handing one on to the reader, composed of remnants from past lives, a natural history that has the power to reveal current truths and predict future realities. "Having known what such adversity is, I can appreciate the distress you are in," begins Sarah Carlisle's own legacy, written in the 1800s--what will be yours?

In 1969, when Tony Carr was in the fourth grade, he was taken from his mixed-race school and transferred to a different, predominantly-white school. He didn't realize it at the time, but he was on the front lines of a historic event, an entire generation taking the first faltering steps in the nation's march toward racial equality. Since that time, society has made strides toward integration and coexistence. Programs were created to give minorities equal access to education and jobs. African-Americans began playing major roles in national politics, sports, and entertainment; television programs began to show interracial dating and black people in powerful positions. Much has changed since 1969. But, as Carr has experienced firsthand, many things have not changed, and our national journey toward equality and acceptance is far from over. Carr has lived to witness his father respond submissively to a verbally abusive young white man in front of his family-and he lived to learn his father's reasons for doing so when he was in a similar situation with his family, understanding then that the safety of his loved ones was worth any price. Through his black memorabilia collections, classes, and community involvement, Carr has discovered that what goes around comes around. Time Bring About a Change brings us the story of how one man has dedicated his life to raising awareness that color is, truly, just a color, and that the true worth of a person is found in the respect, love, and caring that person shows to all around.

"An unauthorized work of narrative nonfiction."
Dreams - sometimes they change the world, sometimes they just plain fall through. Over the course of a weekend at grandpa's farm near Luverne, Minnesota, 14-year-old Josh Lindstrom gets in touch with his dreams as they spend their time inventing, and grandpa relates the stories of some of the great Minnesota inventors. Success, however, does not come easily. So, is there anything to be learned from the inventors that preceded them, especially those of the aptly named Greatest Generation? Josh and his grandpa discover together that when it comes to dreams of inventing, failure is okay. As Minnesota inventor Earl Bakken had said, "Failure is closer to success than inaction." Some surprises are revealed along the way, and the unexpected ending soars with a heartfelt and compelling, once-in-a-lifetime, encounter. An appendix featuring profiles of the Minnesota 80 serves as a resource of the state's key inventors.
A familiar story, an ageless story- Uncommon Thread is a journey of two people who although they work hard to convince themselves that they aren't happy, can't escape the fact that love is never found by trading in people or entire cultures for new and better models. True love can't be denied nor erased. Chemical love, founded in undeniable attraction, much like who we are and what culture we are born into, can never be replaced with our own ideas of who we dream of being or want to be like. A story that will make us think about the choices we make in life that we really don't have to make. It might just make us realize that what we have isn't all that bad and what we think we need isn't all that good. Or maybe it will do none of this. But at the very least it will make us think. Uncommon Thread is a romance story first and a psychological awakening second.
Do you ever wonder "What do I want to do?" or "What's wrong with me?" or "Where did I go wrong?" or "Now what?" Sometimes we can feel as if we are at sea, drifting through life without direction. We tried to do everything right, but it hasn't worked out as expected. Perhaps we even achieved important goals but then found them unsatisfying or not worth the cost. Or an unexpected loss wrought havoc on our carefully laid plans. Are you searching for life's meaning and path, or feeling uprooted from home, family, marriage, or job? This book provides no answers. We believe that what you are searching for was always there, inside you, and that only you can find your personal answers. There is no easy recipe to follow. It will take time and introspection to uncover exactly who you are and were meant to become. Passport 2 Purpose is intended as a sort of guidebook on your life journey. Instead of telling you what sights to see, it leads you through short, personal explorations that will help you to better set and adjust your own course. We will guide you through discovering your hidden motivations - subconscious emotional drivers rooted in your past. Many of our instinctive reactions stem from painful experiences earlier in life, so we don't really like to bring them into conscious awareness. But growth usually comes from pain: that is when we are receptive to learning because we realize that we don't know everything. Recognizing, understanding, and managing our feelings can put us back in control of our lives. At times, life can feel like an arduous trek or an effortless voyage, but much depends on the destination, the route, and-especially-the companions you choose. And never forget that all of these are your choices! We believe each person is unique, precious, worthy, and has a destiny. Find Yours!

Miracles are all around us; we just have to know how to listen. Gayle and Tom had it all: a wonderful family, four beautiful children, a future full of plans. Then, in the spring of 2008, the unimaginable happened. Their 21-year-old son Aaron was killed in a motorcycle accident. A few months after Aaron's death, Gayle met a medium, Melanie May-a meeting which she found later was completely orchestrated by Aaron. Reluctant to trust in the abilities of a medium, Gayle decided she was willing to take the leap of faith for the chance to communicate with her son. After all, given Aaron's "bigger than life" presence in life, it made sense that he would continue this tradition even in death. Aaron's Mailbox takes us on Gayle's journey, as-with the help of Melanie-she reconnects with her son after his passing, and regains the joy that was so abruptly taken from her. Whether or not you're convinced there is anything after death, Gayle's story will cause you to wonder: Is there life after death? Do my loved ones stay with me even after passing on? As a mother, the greatest heartbreak imaginable is the death of your child. When confronted by such a hardship, hope seems impossible to grasp. But Gayle reminds us that even in the face of the most horrible tragedy you can imagine; hope remains.
