Can she be who she is? Or is it forbidden? What Marsha Melinda Martin once believed she could be has vanished, and she has almost stopped caring. Then a man claiming to be her father comes to town, bringing back memories she thought she had forgotten and revealing secrets she has been avoiding. But before she can do anything about her future, Marsha and the Ruby Sisters must deal with the new woman in town. Is she working with the serial killer that once lived among them? Has Ron Page returned to claim the woman he believes he owns and punish those that took her from him? And will Marsha forgive her father in time to save them? Although mystery and danger abound, the heart of this story is how community and friends working together—and remembering who they are—can overcome all evil. No matter how hidden it might be.

"A new voice for a new generation, Katie Westenberg is exhorting us to remember. We need this challenge. Read her book and take her words to heart!"--Bestselling author BARBARA RAINEY In this frenzied world, it's time to focus your faith. We live in a loud, opinionated world of staggering distraction. It's not only exhausting, but immobilizing. You are tempted to zone out, binge watch, and doom scroll. With all of this distraction, it's hard to keep focus on what matters most: God and His nearness in this very moment. In this powerful resource--part book, part Bible study--Katie Westenberg equips you to focus on what truly matters. Leaning on Scripture, scientific studies of memory, and the power of a renewed mind, she helps you uncover the ancient way of being un-distractible. Here is the wake-up call our hearts are longing for--and the clear-eyed focus our souls were made for.

In this unflinchingly honest and hilarious memoir, a woman discovers that her best life is a sober one.

On the outside, her career was flourishing, but inside, her spirit was diminishing. She could no longer avoid the truth–she needed help. Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure–sobriety. Sarah Hepola's tale will resonate with anyone who has had to face the reality of addiction and the struggle to put down the bottle. At first it seemed like a sacrifice–but in the end, it was all worth it to get her life back.

In this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, Natalia Ginzburg explores both the mundane details and inescapable catastrophes of personal life with the grace and wit that have assured her rightful place in the pantheon of classic mid-century authors. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. "A glowing light of modern Italian literature . . . Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase. . . . As direct and clean as if it were carved in stone, it yet speaks thoughts of the heart.' — The New York Times Book Review

A shattered wife with secrets and the man who has always loved her are united in this wrenchingly beautiful novel of longing, loss, and second chances from bestselling author Annette Reynolds. Since the tragic death of her famous baseball player husband, Paul Armstrong, Kate has lived a life of seclusion. Riddled with guilt, unhappiness, and secrets about her not-so-perfect marriage, Kate has turned away from everyone who cares—except Mike Fitzgerald, her neighbor and childhood best friend, a man determined to bring Kate back to the living. Mike was Paul’s best friend, too, so he kept his love for Kate a secret. He never stopped wanting her, never stopped yearning to kiss away the sadness from an unfaithful husband and too many shattered illusions. Now Mike, a successful architect, is determined to tear down Kate’s walls. He persuades her to renovate her home, providing a foothold for his deepest desire—giving her the life she deserves. Kate married the wrong man, but now the right one is going to show her what’s always been in his heart—a love that belongs to her forever.
