As a girl growing up in remote central Oregon, Sarahlee Lawrence dreamed of leaving her small town in search of adventure. By the age of twenty-one, she had rafted some of the most dangerous rivers of the world as an accomplished river guide. But living her dream as guide and advocate, riding and cleaning the arteries of the world, led her back to the place she least expected to find herself--her dusty beginnings and her family's ranch. River House is the beautiful chronicle of a daughter's return and her relationship with her father, whom she enlists to brave the cold winter and help her build a log house"--Cover flap.

Before Lawrence Block was the author of bestselling novels featuring unforgettable characters such as hit man Keller, private investigator Matthew Scudder, burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr, and time traveler Evan Tanner, he was a walker. As a child he walked home from school, as a college student he walked until he was able to buy his first car, and, as an adult, he ran marathons until he discovered the sport of racewalking. Through the lens of his walking adventures—in 24-hour races, on a pilgrimage through Spain, and just about everywhere you can imagine—Block shares his heartwarming personal story about life's trials and tribulations, discomforts and successes, that truly lets readers walk a mile in the master of mystery's shoes.

A young man from Connecticut documents his experience and connection with highly advanced beings. He shares his true confession which takes place over the course of nine years. The first three in which they had physically connected, guided and pushed him to excel and advance his own life, and in exchange, collect data for their research and studies of where mankind has currently evolved into today. After three years of functioning non-stop like a machine being pushed by these beings, Andre awoke in full control of himself again, trying to regain his human-like nature while keeping up with everything he was pushed and shown he was capable of in the following three years. In the last and final three of the nine years, Andre was able to harness life on his own again, and find the courage to write out his lessons through these experiences to share with the world. Only now, it is during the pandemic of 2020 and the consciousness of humanity is being tested. By sharing this experience and his message of love and acceptance, it may shine a light of hope and send a reminder to all as to why we are here.

One of the Best Books of the Year: The Christian Science Monitor NPR The Seattle Times St. Louis Post-Dispatch Chicago Tribune A New York Times Notable Book Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War I was, in the words of T. E. Lawrence, “a sideshow of a sideshow.” As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power. At the center of it all was Lawrence himself. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding into legend at the head of an Arab army as he fought a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. Based on four years of intensive primary document research, Lawrence in Arabia definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed.
