Sweet Harmony Montgomery should still be alive. But now she is the face of a brutal homicide and her murder has left her half-brother, Jamison, adopted by two loving dads, grieving the loss of the sister he loved so much. And while Jamison often tells his dads, I wish she wouldn't have died, he is unaware of the public outrage and controversy swirling around the circumstances of her death. When a court in Massachusetts granted custody of Harmony to her violent father who was living in New Hampshire, Harmony's tragic fate was sealed. In chilling detail at the murder trial, his own wife described the brutal beating that ended Harmony's life. When she took her last breath, her malevolent father desecrated her remains in unspeakable ways. The truth is that governmental officials, courts, and lawyers in Massachusetts will do everything they can to crush Harmony's voice, even in death, to protect the secrets and reckless indifference of those who were supposed to protect her. The dangerously defective child protection system in Massachusetts made sure Harmony was simply expendable. It's only a matter of time before another child dies.

Sixteen-year-old Domenic Bassini sets out alone for America from his small village in Italy in 1914.

I'd like to tell you a story. It's a fairy tale of sorts...
At the age of twenty-seven, Caroline Rose was finishing her first year of medical school and in the best shape of her life when she was shockingly diagnosed with a highly aggressive, incurable, stage IV cancer.
At the age of one, Riley, a Great Dane/Labrador mix, was rescued from inhumane abuse. An Internet search of rescue dogs during Caroline's first remission led her to a picture a large broken dog with empty eyes that resembled her own. One impulsive decision later, Riley became a Rose.
This is the story of two lost souls coming together as one and their journey together through family, love, loss, pain, and hope.
Dear Riley Rose radiates the humor of Riley's antics during even the toughest of times and illustrates the courage it takes for every being to rise up and choose life in the face of adversity.
Love heals us. Hope carries us. But is that enough for us to believe in a happy ending?
Patrick Castingway is an American portrait artist who travels the country spending weeks at a time living with, and learning about, the people whose portrait he will be painting next. Hoping to better represent them on canvas, he focuses his attention not so much on the outward beauty of his subjects, but the beauty within them. We all strive for harmony in our lives, but in life there is always conflict rising or receding, and with each new stop he invariably gets pulled into theirs. And, it is at some of the lowest points in life that we reveal our truest selves. From one place to the next he shares their joy and sorrow, their laughter and tears. Some visits more contentious than others but in the end, in some small way, he helps them find resolution, which for years is something he's searched for himself but until now has been unable to find.
Have you ever found yourself in the best of moods, feeling completely confident, only to start comparing yourself to others, and suddenly feeling as though you are lacking in some way? The good news is, if you answer yes to this question:
You.
Are.
Not.
Alone.
It's a human experience to want things we don't have or want to change things about our lives.
We compare ourselves to those around us and make ourselves believe they have it better than we do. We all do it! But guess what? There are so many wonderful and special things about YOU. Already. Just as you are. When we focus on what we already have instead of what we wish we had, this helps us grow into our fullest potential. The more we learn to accept ourselves as we are, the better we get at loving others exactly as they are, too.
If Goldfish Were Bluebirds is a story about self-acceptance that follows five animal characters' thought processes in wishing they were like other animals, however, they ultimately come to realize that their own attributes are what makes them so special and unique.

Like Lorna Landvik and J. Ryan Stradal, Jan Lefebvre has a wonderful ear for the cadence of Midwestern life, and an appreciation for the small moments between us that are so much bigger. There's heartbreak in this book, but also so much good humor, and hope. Reading this beautifully tender novel, I kept thinking that if A Man Called Ove were set in Central Minnesota in the 1970s, it might be a little bit like this. In the end, Little Stars is a plea for compassion and kindness in this world, and we need it.
Shannon Olson, author of Welcome to My Planet: Where English Is Sometimes Spoken and Children of God Go Bowling.
Sal Schmidt, a middle-aged bachelor in 1974, lives a lonely life in central Minnesota, employed as a maintenance worker while caring for his mentally ill brother, Art. When a sudden event forces Sal into a moment of heroism and, thereby, local celebrity, his secluded ways spin out of control, forcing him to live in the larger world he avoids and mistrusts. He discovers that, when he was young and serving in the Navy, his mother betrayed him, causing Sal to lose his chance at love and leading him to descend into seclusion. The shock of his mother's betrayal sets Sal yearning for what might have been, and he finally acts, daring to dream of romance and wondering if he might attain a ray of happiness if he is brave enough to let in a little light.

Inspired by the Author's Actual Experiences
The mystery of what they endured as children took a lifetime to unravel.
MK-ULTRA, a covert CIA mind-control program, forces Tommy, Beth, and Curtis Matthews to take part in life-altering experiments during the late 1950s. The experience dramatically impacts their lives, but they don't remember any of it-at least not right away.
As Beth, Tommy, and Curtis Matthews come of age through the turbulent 60s and into the 80s, invisible strings pull them toward their preordained destinies.
Dr. Rudolph Holtzmann, the Nazi-trained psychiatrist in charge of their CIA program, harbors a secret agenda to turn Tommy into a future world leader, but Holtzmann's work is compromised by dangerous forces surrounding him and by one of his experimental subjects, an indigenous boy with shamanic gifts.
When the MK-ULTRA program is aborted, the siblings are left deeply damaged without access to the memories that can free them. It takes Curtis's psychotic breakdown and Beth's startling vision to open up the pathways to their buried past. These developments lead to the detective work of Lynn Snyder, a diligent therapist-but will it be enough to unravel the hidden tapestry of deception?
The first book of a trilogy, Memories of MK-ULTRA opens a window into the multiple dimensions of the human mind and soul and forces us to question memory, identity, and the fragile concept of the truth.
This is a story for the rest of us. Those who want to grow their companies but can't find relatable inspiration, or guidance, in current business literature. It's a story about a company that you've never heard of, but one that used computer algorithms to save the American taxpayer over $60 Billion in government pandemic relief fraud. And it's about an unlikely founder who takes the risks and inspires his team to go from an idea to a nine-figure exit in less than 9 years.
In A Ten-Year Overnight Success, Pondera Solutions founder, Jon Coss, takes you with him on his journey through what he describes as the four stages of a typical startup. You'll share his raw emotions through the rise and fall of enthusiasm, his months of desperation in the desert of despair, his tempered confidence through wiggles of hope, and his immense relief and sense of accomplishment marching toward the Promised Land.
Jon's story-telling narrative combines soul-searching truths with self-deprecating humor to provide you with an inside look at what it takes to achieve the success that less than 1% of businesses ever will. Along the way, he offers practical, nuanced lessons that you won't find in the typical business book. Lessons learned in the trenches. Lessons that may not make you the next Tesla but are sure to grow your business. Lessons that apply to the rest of us.
Imagine you are on a rollercoaster. The slight nervousness when you are in line waiting to board. The feeling of anticipation as you clank, clank, clank your way up to the top of the first peak, and then the rush of adrenaline as you accelerate through a feeling of freefall down the rails, followed by a jarring hard left turn followed by a jarring hard right turn. All this to stimulate your sense of danger and to create a true thrill ride. The enjoyment of a rollercoaster can only be achieved when you know and trust that you are safe throughout the entire experience. If there was ever any doubt that you were safe, you wouldn't even think about riding.
Retirement for many Americans can be like a rollercoaster. We experience the ups and the downs, the jarring turns, and the panic-inducing plummets. However, we have no guarantees and no trust that we are going to be taken care of, so it creates fear and not enjoyment. Is that how we want our retirement to go? Does this sound like a fun ride?
Fortunately, you have a choice how you want to experience retirement. For most of us, we don't want it to feel like a rollercoaster, and for good reason! For those who want to feel some of the ups and not the downs, there is a solution, and that solution is a Fixed Indexed Annuity.

Please don't shoot me again, would be the most horrific words to hear anyone say. These were Sgt. Mike Crowe's words as he was being gunned down by one of his subordinates at the South Border Narcotics Taskforce office in Yuma, Arizona on July 4, 1995. Mike wouldn't be the only victim that night; the night Deputy Jack Hudson was planning his burglary at the taskforce in furtherance of his undercover plan to do his big case. Lt. Dan Elkins and Evidence Custodian Jim Ehrhart would also be looking down the barrel of the meth fueled deputy's gun. All three lawmen walked in on the deputy as he was ransacking the taskforce to steal evidence in furtherance of taking down a local motorcycle gang. The deputy had become a junkie with a badge. What happened to this rising star - a former Eagle Scout, a 17-year U.S. Marine, number one in his academy class, Rookie of the Year? How could he fall so far from grace in only two years on the job? Once the structured environment of this phenom, who once operated under accountability, stricter rules, procedures, and uniforms, was gone, his life devolved into a drug dependent, murderous rampage.
