Book Description

Tiffany and Kory are settling into their happily-ever-after and enjoying matrimonial bliss, but they are missing the one thing that would make their family complete?a baby. After several months of trying to conceive, with no success, Tiffany shifts her focus on her career and her new role as CEO at TiMax. Eager and ready to move up the corporate ladder, Tiffany convinces her best friend, Rose, to move to L.A., offering her a new start. It’s something Rose simply can’t refuse, an opportunity not only for success, but also for love. With a great family, friends, and career, Tiffany’s world is in perfect peace, until she runs into Tracy Sims. Beaten out of her position at KCLN for just showing up late, Tracy has vowed she’ll get back at Tiffany one way or another. Hell-bent on payback, scheming becomes Tracy’s middle name as she does everything within her power to destroy Tiffany. Not even the threat of being blacklisted detours her plans. Meanwhile, Tressa is determined to win back the heart of the one man she lost. Just when she thinks she’s left her past addictions and L.A. queen lifestyle behind, her past returns with a vengeance! Will Tracy finally get her revenge on Tiffany and make her pay for all of the misfortune she’s suffered, or will things blow up in her face? Will losing her father’s love again be at stake for Tressa, or will she finally live up to the promises she made to him? Some demons are hard to defeat, and they don’t die easily. It’s a lesson Tressa and Tracy will soon learn, and they just might pay the ultimate price for it.

Book Description

Rachel K. Frederick once went through life without knowing who she was because she didn't know who God was. By age forty-two, she'd become exhausted because the consequences of her sinful choices were just too heavy to carry. Just when she was ready to give up all hope, however, God's merciful arm reached down and lifted her into His grace. In that instant, she was transformed into a follower and fighter devoted to Christ. Since that day, her God-given faith compels her to testify about her experiences and to reveal her sinful past, which includes rebellion, fornication, adultery, murder, homosexuality, rage, vengeance, self-mutilation, suicidal tendencies, and with secrecy enabling them all. It's a journey that showcases the power of the Lord-one that can help you redefine your future just as it has redefined hers. Join Rachel as she walks with the Lord, putting her poor soul in His hands to witness the works of both God and Satan. She is awed by the many blessings that God intended for her in life, having discovered that it's never too late to turn back and receive them.

Book Description

Foregrounding the voices of women who have survived experiences of domestic sex trafficking in the US, this text implements qualitative research methodologies to illustrate how experiences of complex trauma have impact on women’s identities, sexuality, relationships, and re-integration into communities. Building on theoretical understandings of complex trauma and posttraumatic growth, this volume centers insights from in-depth interviews and photovoice methodology to document survivors’ experience of sex trafficking and recovery. Outlining the nature of support and services available, the text identifies recommendations for effective recovery and in doing so, emphasizes women’s capacity for post-traumatic growth. Relationship development, therapeutic and peer-support are highlighted as primary sources of healing. Ultimately, the text affirms the need for trauma-informed, ecological, and relational perspectives in the care of survivors. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in trauma studies, clinical social work, and those working in mental health research more broadly. The text will also support further discussion and reflection around mental health services and support systems, adult trauma counselling, and mental health policy.

Book Description

The only mention of Jude in Nova Scotia’s official history relates to her death: a slave-owning family was brought to trial for her murder in 1801. They were acquitted despite overwhelming evidence that they were guilty. Sharon Robart-Johnson pays tribute to such archival glimpses of enslaved people by re-creating the fullness of sisters Jude and Diana’s survival, emphasizing their joys alongside their hardship. She stories their movements through the U.S. to Nova Scotia, Canada, with the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists in 1783. As a child, Jude is sold away and then, by a lucky turn of fate, reunited with her fiercely loving family. Jude’s experiences harden her into a rebel who resists injustice without heeding consequences, and after her death, Diana is left alone to deal with racist and sexual violence. Through Robart-Johnson’s research, we experience nineteenth-century Nova Scotia, when political debates about abolishing slavery were just beginning to emerge. Through Robart-Johnson’s creativity, we enter the historical fiction of Jude and Diana and their strong familial bonds, each character developed with nuance and care. While chronicling the cruelty they endured, Robart-Johnson’s storytelling powerfully honours their humour, strength, and shining dignity.

Book Description

Do you think you’re the only one who’s been so embarrassed they wanted to hide? You’re not. Think you’re the only one who feels [insert the name of any emotion here]? I can promise you you’re not. Think you just don’t know how to study? We can fix that (there are research-backed tips to help you study and test better that you’ve probably never been taught)! Think this life isn’t really yours, that you’re just taking up space in it or going through the motions? No way—it’s yours and you have every right to own it. Think you just aren’t good at talking to people or you’re not likable? There are some simple strategies to help you overcome that. Life is really hard. Being a kid is hard and being a teenager’s even harder. How you navigate the challenges and struggles you face now will influence who you’ll become and how you’ll interact with others and the world around you...for better or for worse. I struggled too and for far longer than I should’ve. I’ve learned, as an adult, about so much research and so many strategies (from the fields of psychology, sport psychology, positive psychology, resilience, and academics) that would’ve helped me lead a better life sooner if only someone had known to tell me about them. Your mental habits get harder and harder to change the older you get, so starting to use these strategies early in life is much easier than waiting until your mental habits get totally hardwired into your brain.
