"Brutally lyrical." -Publishers Weekly

"A rich blend of metaphors and genuine characters that will touch the hearts of readers." -Library Journal


Ella Ginsberg’s brother Simon seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His clothing, shoes and watch were found abandoned near a freight line track in Central California. His jockey shorts and wallet were never found. The police have no clue, and Simon’s wife Sarah had no warning that any trouble was brewing.

Ella, the member of the family with the most severe mental health issues, takes off on foot across much of California and Arizona, thinking she can find Simon using nothing but her knowledge of the way he might think. Her search leads her to the Navajo Nation in Arizona, where she is helped and befriended by three Native Americans and an aged paint horse named Yozzie.

Chapters of her travels in the present are interspersed with chapters of her past with Simon, who raised her, and who is still the most important person in her shaky world. Only maybe it’s not as unstable as it looks from the outside. Maybe inside Ella a core of unexpected strength is emerging. Maybe Ella is even stronger than the brother who held their lives together for so long.


"A tale of sibling loyalty, madness, pain and redemption. In this restrained but compelling narrative, Hyde movingly conveys the toll of years of emotional damage." -Publishers Weekly

In this third in the series, Jeff Resnick faces a new dilemma: someone is stalking his sister-in-law, Brenda, who fears that violence from pro-life supporters will escalate near the women’s clinic where she works. Or could the vandalism, threatening phone calls, and letters against her have come from her abusive ex-husband? Meanwhile, Jeff grapples with meeting his estranged father and the sister he never knew existed. Could Patty Resnick be the key to Brenda’s stalker? And what has that got to do with the death of his brother Richard’s colleague?

"The reader won’t find the time to discover a “psychic signature” in the pages of this book because it just sizzles hot, asking to be read in a single sitting!"

The Snail Soup Can Decoy to keep the candy stash safe. The Customizable “Keep Out” Sign to deter meddlesome siblings and parents. A Bunk Bed Communicator made from cardboard tubes (“Psst! Can you keep the snoring down?”). Clever, whimsical, and kind of genius, here are 67 unique projects that will turn any dad with DIY leanings into a mad scientist hero that his kid(s) will adore.

No screens, no hi-tech gadgetry. Made by Dad combines the rough-edged, handmade ethos of a Boy Scout manual or The Dangerous Book for Boys with a sly sense of humor that kids love. Scott Bedford, a creative director by day and Webby Award–winning blogger by nights and weekends, wields an X-ACTO knife, magic marker, and prodigious imagination to create endlessly delightful projects for his two sons. He knows that kids like contraptions and gadgets, things that are surprising—a chair that appears to be balanced on eggshells. Things that are complex—a multilevel city, with buildings, tunnels, and roads, built from old boxes around the legs of a table. And especially things with humor—the Snappy Toast Rack, made to resemble a crocodile’s gaping mouth.

The projects are shown in full-color photographs, and the instructions are illustrated in detailed line drawings that exude personality. Some are quick and simple enough to be done in a coffee shop; others are more of an afternoon project— yielding hours and hours of rich, imaginative playtime.

WHAT IF something unexpected should happen to you... a fire, a flood, a death? Does your family know about your finances, where your important documents are, your final wishes and your family medical history?

Too often we wait until it is too late to get our affairs in order; we think 'nothing is going to happen to me'! How many of us have gone through the experience of a family member who died and did not have their estate in order?  It can be a nightmare!

Drawing from her experience with hospice and elder care, in 2005, Gwen W. Morgan was inspired to write the "What if... Workbook." The "What if... Workbook" is a comprehensive, easy to use guide for putting your affairs in order. By filling out the Workbook, you are providing your loved ones with the necessary information they need should anything happen to you.

The Workbook includes, but is not limited to financial information, personal contacts, location of documents, burial vs. cremation, care for pets, family medical history, special gifts for loved ones, thinking about legacy, and more. The Workbook was written with three goals in mind:

1. Give the gift of preparedness:  Fill out the Workbook, thus giving the gift of preparedness to your loved ones, while you are of sound mind and body.
2. Communicate what's important:  Communicate to your family/loved ones that you have filled out the "What if... Workbook" and where the book is located. If possible, sit with your family and go through the Workbook together, thus learning about each other and the ideals that are important to you.
3. Live your life to the fullest:  When you think about your end, hopefully this will encourage you to live your life more fully! Live each day to the fullest, acknowledging that our time here on this beautiful earth is precious, and meant to be lived with joy, kindness, and service to others.

Keeping your love on.



It’s a hard thing to do. Sometimes it’s the hardest thing to do. But if you want to

build healthy relationships with God and others, learning to keep your love on

is non-negotiable.



Adults and children alike thrive in healthy relationships where it is safe to love

and be loved, to know and be known. Yet for many, relationships are anything

but safe, loving, or intimate. They are defined by anxiety, manipulation, control,

and conflict. The reason is that most people have never been trained to be

powerful enough to keep their love on in the face of mistakes, pain, and fear.



Keep Your Love On reveals the higher, Jesus-focused standard defined by mature

love—love that stays ‘on’ no matter what. Danny Silk’s practical examples and

poignant stories will leave you with the power to draw healthy boundaries,

communicate in love, and ultimately protect your connections so you can love

against all odds. As a result, your relationships will be radically transformed for

eternity. When you learn to keep your love on, you become like Jesus.

Jeff Resnick is definitely out of his element when he and Maggie take a working vacation at a quaint Vermont inn. For most people, the chance to spend time with a beautiful woman in a romantic, isolated setting would be a plus, but the moment Jeff crosses the Sugar Maple Inn’s threshold, his sixth sense warns him that someone is about to meet a violent death.

His anxiety intensifies when he travels on one of the local roads and he is nearly overwhelmed by feelings of impending doom. Ultimately, Jeff can only find respite in his brother Richard’s presence and it is only after one of the inn’s guests is murdered that Richard reluctantly becomes a third wheel on Jeff and Maggie’s trip. With their own lives at stake, Jeff, Maggie, and Richard must use all their wits and skill to bring a ruthless killer to justice. And if they don’t, one of them might just become the next victim.

Family Relationships

The Magical Stranger is a moving story of love and sacrifice, fathers and sons, heroism and duty, soldiers and the families they leave behind.

On November 28, 1979, squadron commander and Navy pilot Peter Rodrick died when his plane crashed in the Indian Ocean, leaving behind a devastated wife, two daughters, and a 13-year-old son.

In this powerful, beautifully written book, journalist Stephen Rodrick explores the life and death of the man who indelibly shaped his life, even as he remained a mystery. Through adolescence and into adulthood, Stephen Rodrick struggled to fully grasp the reality of his father’s death and its permanence.

To better understand his father, Rodrick turned to members of his father’s former squadron, the "World-Famous Black Ravens." As he learns about his father, he uncovers the layers of these sailors’ lives: their loves, friendships, dreams, disappointments—and the consequences of their choices on those they leave behind.

A penetrating, thoughtful blend of memoir and reportage, The Magical Stranger is a moving reflection on the meaning of military service and the power of a father’s legacy.

Loopers is a treasure of a memoir about the uncommon world of the  club caddy and the improbable journey it resulted in for one man.  It is a perennial account that touches on the animating force of the game itself, reminding us of the reason we continue to tee the ball up, year in and year out.

John Dunn never expected that his summer job as a caddy at the local course in Connecticut might turn into something more. The lifers - as in "caddies for life" - that plied the loops were an ensemble of misfits and degenerates that made the caddy yard look more like an OTB parlor than anything near a country club.  But Dunn came of age in those yards and on those courses, and after an eye-opening experience caddying in Aspen during college the magnetism of the game and the lifestyle proved irresistible. One adventure after another kept him coming back summer after summer, until - out of college - he found himself migrating with the seasons, looping at some of the most exquisite and exclusive golf locations in the world; Sherwood, Augusta, Bandon Dunes, Shinnecock, and St. Andrews to name a few. Dunn criss-crossed the country on his own big loop; working inside the privet hedges while camping on the mountains; following the back roads and stumbling across unexpected moments of profound natural beauty; embracing the freedom of what he calls the last vagabond existence in America, all while trying to decide whether to quit the loop and get a real job. Maybe next season...

Tell My Sons: A Father's Last Letters

Family Relationships

At the pinnacle of a soaring career in the U.S. Army, Lt. Col. Mark M. Weber was tapped to serve in a high-profile job within the Afghan Parliament as a military advisor. Weeks later, a routine physical revealed stage IV intestinal cancer in the thirty-eight-year-old father of three. Over the next two years he would fight a desperate battle he wasn’t trained for, with his wife and boys as his reluctant but willing fighting force.
 
When Weber realized that he was not going to survive this final tour of combat, he began to write a letter to his boys, so that as they grew up without him, they would know what his life-and-death story had taught him—about courage and fear, challenge and comfort, words and actions, pride and humility, seriousness and humor, and viewing life as a never-ending search for new ideas and inspiration.
 
This book is that letter. And it’s not just for his sons. It’s for everyone who can use the best advice a dying hero has to offer.
 
Weber’s stories illustrate that in the end you become what you are through the causes to which you attach yourself—and that you’ve made your own along the way. Through his example, he teaches how to live an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.

Praise for Tell My Sons
 
“A gift to us all . . . Every page exudes courage, honesty, and an indomitable spirit. Mark Weber’s story has touched me in such a profound way.”—Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie
 
“Tell My Sons is a deeply moving, personal account of a soldier’s journey into an ultimate frontier. As I read Mark Weber’s book, I was astonished by its honesty, courage, and discipline. This book offers one of the most profound and detailed descriptions of the strange world of cancer and should be essential reading for all of us who seek to understand that topsy-turvy terrain.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies

“Tell My Sons is one of the most profound and inspirational stories I have ever read. It may have been written for Mark’s children, but it may as well be a treatise for all of us about honest parenting and leadership with character in love, family, faith, and politics. For a man who is facing profound health issues, Mark is doing a remarkable job showing us all how to live with courage and integrity.”—Walter F. Mondale, former vice president of the United States
 
“This book is why I have always been proud to call Mark Weber my son. His ability to reach across complex boundaries and write and speak with such depth and beauty makes him a modern day Lawrence of Arabia. Mark’s passion, attitude, and thoughts about life are what is best about America.”—General Babakir S. Zibari, chief of defense, Republic of Iraq
 
“A poignant illustration of what being a hero is all about . . . Heroes exemplify invincible courage, character, and perseverance in times of insurmountable odds. Mark embodies these attributes. Tell My Sons will empower the reader with profound lessons of living life with hope and determination.”—John Elway, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Who IS he, you ask? Who IS Mr. Meus? Any relation to the famed Dr. Seuss?

No relation through blood; just connection through rhyme: a marvel that travels through space and through time.

That Marvel of Rhyme, carried by Mother Goose, and so beautifully spun by the great Dr. Seuss.

Then the Dr. passed on, and his rhymes stayed behind. But who would the Marvel of Rhyme come to find?

There was a young man; as "Meus" he was known. And it seemed he was destined also to own...

That Marvel of Rhyme, that so very few see. Their names even rhymed--it was just meant to be.

Like you, Meus grew up with the Grinch and the Cat. And he felt in himself, "Hey, I can do that."

One day he was reading that Green Eggs and Ham, and then he just knew, "I'm a Rhymer, I am."

So he dug up some paper and pulled out a pen, and just started writing and then... then... well, then...

Born was the Mr. - one tale then another. So go tell your mother, your father, your brother,

Your uncle, your grandma, your neighbour, your sister, about this new Meus that they're calling Mr.

His rhymes have that marvel of old Mother Goose and that master of rhyme, the great Dr. Seuss.

That marvel of Meus: it's awe and then some. So stay tuned for the wonder... there's more yet to come.

"If you like Dr. Seuss, you'll love Mr. Meus."
