Would you give to someone who desperately needed it, that which you could live without?Keely is the epitome of a self-made woman, her ability to make the right choices her superpower. She doesn't believe in looking back and has the drive, ambition, and financial means to create the exact life she wants to live--regardless of what her kids and her husband, Andrew, want or need. Michelle lives in stark contrast to Keely's life. She believes she was doomed from the start with a heartbreaking, poverty-stricken childhood. A string of bad choices in adulthood only intensifies her lack of faith in herself. With her daughter safely away at college, she is left alone with her abusive husband, Ray. As the days drag on, she struggles to find a reason to continue. Until she meets Andrew. The two women's worlds eventually collide, courtesy of their daughters, and both are forced to contemplate a time-worn question: is the comfort of a familiar self-constructed prison safer than the risk of trying to live a life of true freedom and potentially failing? Cake asks how much the world has really changed for women--and for which women--by evaluating the progress of modern feminism. This novel examines privilege, the haves and have-nots, the ideals we choose to embrace, and the facts we forcefully decide to not see. This story entices the reader to contemplate whether our material and emotional conditions arise from childhood environments, personal choice, systemic inequality, or a combination of them all.

Connolly "Connolly has created a fully-realized, sweeping epic of a book. The story is intricate, well plotted, and satisfying. This book is BIG - in terms of character cast, setting, time lapse, and commentary. A common way the author set up a chapter was to start with the macro view: a big-scale history or a sweeping shot of a setting. Nearly every time it was brilliantly done. I loved how the book took on large societal issues like racial equity, the prison system, the overreach of corporations. It was always personal, real, and visceral. The voice and writing style are outstanding!"

In When God is their Father, Too... A Guide for the Single-Parent Household, Stephanie McCaskill shines a light on single parenthood and the importance of providing children with a Christian foundation. Unfortunately, there are many children who are being raised, not only without a father in the home, but without their biological parents. As a result, these children grow up with all types of issues. And their only hope is Jesus! This is why it is imperative for single parents to have a personal relationship with the Lord.  When we know Jesus, we can impart the kingdom of God into our children and change their lives, our communities and the world.

The Grief Practice explains and explores grief in the body through human stories and mindfulness practices. The ancient practices of yoga and mindfulness are offered through a trauma-informed and science-based lens, validating the physical experience of grief and reminding grieving humans that their body is doing everything it can to support them under the weight of their grief.Monique Minahan draws from her years of experience teaching yoga to grieving humans, current understandings of emotions science, movement science, and trauma - as well as her own devastating experience of grief - in creating a book that approaches grief from a submarine perspective, allowing people who have not lost to understand both the tremendous beauty and overwhelming pain of loving and losing, and allowing people who have lost to feel accompanied in their experience in a uniquely personal way.Find the companion website at TheGriefPractice.com
