Women’s writing in Cameroon has so far been dominated by Francophone writers. The short stories in this collection represent the yearnings and vision of an Anglophone woman, who writes both as a Cameroonian and as a woman whose life has been shaped by the minority status her people occupy within the nation-state. The stories in Your Madness, Not Mine are about postcolonial Cameroon, but especially about Cameroonian women, who probe their day-to-day experiences of survival and empowerment as they deal with gender oppression: from patriarchal expectations to the malaise of maldevelopment, unemployment, and the attraction of the West for young Cameroonians. Makuchi has given us powerful portraits of the people of postcolonial Africa in the so-called global village who too often go unseen and unheard.

When Skye Jackson starts her new job at the hospital, she wants nothing more than to fit in. But she makes a startling discovery—she can communicate with comatose patients in a way no one else can. At first doubting her own sanity, Skye finds herself helping doctors understand their nonverbal patients better. But as Skye tries to make sense of her strange talent, she faces skepticism and lack of understanding. When her conversations are misunderstood, she fears she could lose not only her job but her own sense of reality. Worst of all, Skye begins to doubt herself. With no one to believe in her unique ability, Skye may betray her true potential, at the cost of her life. She finds unlikely allies in a café barista and a hospital social worker. They see Skye not as abnormal, but as gifted. With their guidance, Skye must decide whether to believe in herself or give in to easier paths. Only by embracing her oddity can Skye fulfill her life's purpose and, maybe, save a life—her own, and someone else's. Readers of The Way of the Three-Year-Old Why will recognize familiar characters—Dan and Grace Roberts, Callie Anagnostopoulos, and especially Hope Roberts. You’ll also meet Skye Jackson, Irene, Erica, and others who figure into the journey. Although early readers think it’s a good story, the lessons that Skye and Dan discover will help you to live your own values and value your life: * Learn about believing in yourself when others do not. * Confront challenges when you just want to quit. * Feel the fear and do it anyway—when you’re pursuing a worthwhile goal. Medium Well is a story of self-discovery, perseverance, and learning to accept unconventional strengths. It explores what happens when one must believe not just in inexplicable events, but in one's own ability to rise above limitations, both external and internal. If you enjoyed the books Still Alice, The Go-Giver, and The Vagrant, you will love Medium Well.

Equal parts memoir and road map to living a less stressful and more vibrant life, bestselling author Jesse Itzler offers an illuminating, entertaining, and unexpected trip for anyone looking to feel calmer and more controlled in our crazy, hectic world. Entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and father of four Jesse Itzler only knows one speed: Full Blast. But when he felt like the world around him was getting too hectic, he didn't take a vacation or get a massage. Instead, Jesse moved into a monastery for a self-imposed time-out. In Living with the Monks, the follow-up to his New York Times bestselling Living with a SEAL, Jesse takes us on a spiritual journey like no other. Having only been exposed to monasteries on TV, Jesse arrives at the New Skete religious community in the isolated mountains of upstate New York with a shaved head and a suitcase filled with bananas. To his surprise, New Skete monks have most of their hair. They're Russian Orthodox, not Buddhist, and they're also world-renowned German shepherd breeders and authors of dog-training books that have sold in the millions. As Jesse struggles to fit in amongst the odd but lovable monks, self-doubt begins to beat like a tribal drum. Questioning his motivation to embark on this adventure and missing his family (and phone), Jesse struggles to balance his desire for inner peace with his need to check Twitter. But in the end, Jesse discovers the undeniable power of the monks and their wisdom, and the very real benefits of taking a well-deserved break as a means of self-preservation in our fast-paced world.
