Eighteen-year-old Cayenne barely remembers her mother, who died of breast cancer when Cayenne was four. The women in her family have a history of dying young. Cayenne figures she'll meet the same fate, so she might as well enjoy life now, engaging in death-defying risks like dodging trains and jumping off cliffs with her boyfriend. When Cayenne receives a series of video messages her mother made for her before dying, she isn't sure she wants them. Her aunt Tee has been her true mother figure. But then Aunt Tee tests positive for a BRCA gene mutation—the one that doomed Cayenne's mom—and decides to get a mastectomy to reduce her chances of developing cancer. As Cayenne helps her aunt prepare for the surgery, she finds herself drawn to her mother's messages, with their musings on life, love, and perseverance. For the first time, Cayenne starts to question what it truly means to live life to the fullest, even when death might be written into her DNA.

After the death of her parents two and a half years ago, Olivia Mayor moves to Pinecrossing, Wyoming with her sister, Christine. Idaho has been the only state she knows and she feels like there’s truly nothing left for her anymore after she’s forced to move to Pinecrossing, WY. For two and a half years, Olivia has submerged herself deeply into a numb state. The death of her parents was tragic and she can’t accept the fact that they are gone. Rather than accept reality, she pushes herself as far away from it as possible. In denial, she submerges herself deeper and deeper into this numb world that she’s created for herself. However, after being in Pinecrossing for several weeks, the numb state begins to leave her and she is forced to step back into the world...what awaits her is nothing like she thought. Many ‘myths’ are going around the town about the forest. According to the legends, scary things—monsters—come out on the night of the full moon. Olivia knows for a fact that there is nothing going out in the forest like everyone believes...or is there? Tempting fate, Olivia goes out into the heart of the forest on a night of the full moon. What she discovers while there will change her whole thinking. She’s determined to solve whatever it is that’s going on in the forest. Along the journey to discovering answers, she falls deeply in love with the handsome and very mysterious Mark Walker. It does not take Olivia long to realize that he is a part of this mystery, too. He knows what’s going on in the forest on the nights of the full moon, but like everyone else, he pushes her away. Finding comfort in a strange white wolf who always lingers around her home, Olivia begins to open up to the wolf...giving him her whole heart. She doesn’t understand what is going on, but she promises that she will protect her wolf...no matter what. This wolf seems to be apart of her life...sewed to her, even. Without him she is positive that she won’t be able to breathe. But...after discovering the truth, will she feel the same? After Mark suddenly withdraws from her and her world seems like it’s crashing down, she discovers the truth. She discovers what’s really going on in her forest. She also uncovers the truth of what Mark is... On this long journey, can Olivia accept the truth of her parents ́ death and heal? Can she open up and let someone love her, giving her love in return? Can she, all in all, continue on with life even with all the pain and grieve that is a constant companion in her life?

The federal offshore oil leasing program has generated more than billion for the federal government, and the Outer Continental Shelf represents the greatest potential for oil and gas reserves remaining in the United States. But most U.S. coastal states oppose offshore development, and the battle resulting from these conflicting forces has raged through the last five presidential administrations and concurrent sessions of Congress. This book tells the history of the debate, puts it in perspective, and explores the prospects for future development. It traces the factors that led to the ascendancy of oil as an energy source, the emergence of the technology that made undersea extraction possible, the political forces that led to the dramatic offshore boom in the Gulf of Mexico, and the national policies that eventually produced the closing of virtually all offshore federal lands to the agency created within the Department of Interior to exploit them.

The Ukrainian crisis that dominated headlines in fall 2013 was decades in the making. Two great schisms shaped events: one within Ukraine, its western and southeastern parts divided along cultural and political lines; the other was driven by geopolitical factors. Competition between Russia and the West exacerbated Ukraine's divisions. This study focuses on the historical background and complex causality of the crisis, from the rise of mass demonstrations on Kiev's Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) to the making of the post-revolt regime. In the context of a "new cold war," the author sheds light on the role of radical Ukrainian nationalists and neofascists in the February 2014 snipers' massacre, the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych, and Russia's seizure of Crimea and involvement in the civil war in the eastern region of Donbass.
