Josie Silver’s characters sneak their way into your heart and stay.”—Jill Santopolo, author of The Light We Lost Two people. Ten chances. One unforgettable love story. Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend Sarah giddily introduces her new boyfriend to Laurie. It's Jack, the man from the bus. It would be. What follows for Laurie, Sarah and Jack is ten years of friendship, heartbreak, missed opportunities, roads not taken, and destinies reconsidered. One Day in December is a joyous, heartwarming and immensely moving love story to escape into and a reminder that fate takes inexplicable turns along the route to happiness.

The Natural Path


Book Description

If it’s natural, it can still hurt you. If you want to rely less on chemicals for food, medicine, and cleaning and beauty supplies, don’t learn the hard way that some ‘natural’ products may be dangerous for you or your family. Author Porche Berry dove into a deeper exploration of natural health after discovering her child’s sensitivity to pharmaceuticals and following a close call with an essential oil. However, she had begun watching nutrition shows when she was only ten, and, over the years, she has seen pharmaceuticals repeatedly fail family members and friends. You inherit genes from both parents. That’s genetics. Epigenetics is everything else that can impact how those genes carry out their jobs. Epigenetics can impact your genes for your entire life. Diet, stress level, exposure to toxins—these and other factors all can impact gene expression. The Natural Path helps you take control of many epigenetic factors. The book goes from a broad exploration of the factors affecting your health to simple techniques and recipes for making herbal medicine at home. This solid reference book includes resources for further learning. “Believe it or not you ARE capable of learning how to read the scientific studies and becoming skilled at first-line interventions for the health of your family and yourself,” says Berry. What the book does NOT include are recommendations on brands. The remedies covered have been chosen because of their safety profiles, says the author. “I wanted to make a resource that catered to the needs of expectant mothers and families with young children.” Some popular remedies can be dangerous, so the book includes safety information. Topics include: Diet and nutrition Household cleaners and personal grooming products Alternative healing methods Essential Oils Non-herbal remedies Herbs Possible issues affecting healing Pregnancy and breastfeeding Essential oil and herbal blend recipes.

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird


Book Description

Two lives. Two loves. One impossible choice. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reese’s Book Club Pick One Day in December . . . “I read The Two Lives of Lydia Bird in a single sitting. What a beautiful, emotional gift Josie Silver has given us.”—Jodi Picoult Written with Josie Silver’s trademark warmth and wit, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird is a powerful and thrilling love story about the what-ifs that arise at life’s crossroads, and what happens when one woman is given a miraculous chance to answer them. Lydia and Freddie. Freddie and Lydia. They’d been together for more than a decade and Lydia thought their love was indestructible. But she was wrong. On Lydia’s twenty-eighth birthday, Freddie died in a car accident. So now it’s just Lydia, and all she wants is to hide indoors and sob until her eyes fall out. But Lydia knows that Freddie would want her to try to live fully, happily, even without him. So, enlisting the help of his best friend, Jonah, and her sister, Elle, she takes her first tentative steps into the world, open to life—and perhaps even love—again. But then something inexplicable happens that gives her another chance at her old life with Freddie. A life where none of the tragic events of the past few months have happened. Lydia is pulled again and again through the doorway to her past, living two lives, impossibly, at once. But there’s an emotional toll to returning to a world where Freddie, alive, still owns her heart. Because there’s someone in her new life, her real life, who wants her to stay.
