When a knee injury forces Mari Coleman’s mid-semester exit from college, her consolation is reuniting with her boyfriend, Will. Crushed to learn that her dream job at New Hampton’s Sunlight Women’s Center went to an old rival, Mari takes a shift at the Taiton Coffee Break. Then, while visiting her recuperating grandfather in the nursing home, Mari offers to watch a former neighbor’s daughter after school. Pleased to be back in her old neighborhood, Mari unexpectedly attracts a crowd of children for after school kickball. But then a startling discovery in the field reveals illegal activity occurring right under their noses. As Mari seeks to determine who might be responsible, she discovers that one of her kickball kids and his mother may be in peril. Before long Mari finds her heart drawn to help an influx of hurting women and children in her life who could benefit from the Sunlight Center’s care, yet she cannot bear to have her rival help them. Challenged by Taiton professor, Dr. Grant, and with the support of her new friend, Leah DeSoto, Mari begins to face her battle with jealousy. While the threat of danger grows in the neighborhood, a dilemma arises when Mari is torn between following her renewed spiritual convictions and her budding feelings for her employer.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This on-point guide to growing up by Instagram sensation Mari Andrew features “achingly vulnerable and completely relatable watercolor illustrations about relationships, heartbreak and the struggles of urban life” (The Washington Post). In the journey toward adulthood, it is easy to find yourself treading the path of those who came before you; the path often appears straight and narrow, with a few bumps in the road and a little scenery to keep you inspired. But what if you don’t want to walk a worn path? What if you want to wander? What if there is no map to guide you through the detours life throws your way? From creating a home in a new city to understanding the link between a good hair dryer and good self-esteem to dealing with the depths of heartache and loss, these tales of the twentysomething document a road less traveled—a road that sometimes is just the way you’re meant to go. Praise for Am I There Yet? “Equal parts memoir and illustrated guidebook, it chronicles Andrew’s journey through adulthood as she navigates love and heartbreak, professional indecision and success, and personal struggles.”—Refinery29 “Using her artistic skills to illustrate thought-provoking essays, Andrew inspires readers to take the path less traveled in life.”—CNN “The illustrations . . . are often packed with truths about dating, self-care, careers, and all the secret thoughts you never say out loud.”—Elle “This uplifting book is filled with essays and illustrations that will fill you with so much hope as you move forward with any big life change.”—Bustle “Her illustrations will resonate with anyone who has ever had a crush, went on a date, or felt the sting of heartbreak.”—The Independent

No matter how much is learned, if that learning remains in our heads, it is not enough. Unless learning touches our hearts, it's never going to bring us the wisdom we seek, the peace we desire, or the intimacy and connection for which we yearn. A new and more receptive way of knowing is needed, and is found in this course for the heart. "A Course of Love" was received by Mari Perron and given to be a "new" course in miracles. It is for the heart what "A Course in Miracles" is for the mind. For many, it is the next step in a journey already begun.

Transports readers to the cold landscape of wartime Norway, as a brave, young heroine faces the cruel reality of oppression to join the underground resistance and do whatever it takes it save her family and her country. - Michelle Houts, author of Winterfrost.

In Mari's Hope, set in a small village in occupied western Norway in the final years of World War II, young Mari has become a valued helper to the village doctor. She also plays a role in her family's efforts in the local resistance, despite ever-present dangers, especially from the snooping soldier called Goatman and from Leif, her one-time school friend, now a German collaborator. As the German war efforts falter, the pressure increases on the occupying troops to hold Norway firmly in their grip. But freedom-loving Norwegians will do their best to thwart those plans. Praise for the series: "An exciting look at the occupation of Norway, through the eyes of a young, brave girl." - Angela Cerrito, author of The Safest Lie.
