When the daily grind is getting you down, nothing beats a nice, warm bath with a good book. The stories in this collection do for the soul what a hot soak does for the body: cleanse, relax and refresh. Another Long Hot Soak -- Book Two offers more than fifty true-life stories to comfort and inspire. In this poignant, heartwarming collection, an unwanted child finds a mother and a home. A young woman renews her love for her dying brother. A sailor adrift at sea chooses faith over fear. These are the accounts of real people from all walks of life who have faced every kind of circumstance -- the routine, the remarkable, the uncanny, the tragic and even the humorous. Some, in the face of betrayal, have shown astonishing forgiveness and love. Others have stared death in the face and emerged with a deeper sense of purpose. Many have encountered a power greater than themselves that guided their decisions, empowered their actions and engineered outcomes beyond their own ability. Written in the style of its popular predecessor, A Long Hot Soak, this book is a spiritual tonic to bring encouragement and strength in the ups and downs of life. 'Life is often more akin to a Blackpool roller coaster than the calm, serene and pleasant life that we would all wish for ... But whether you are on the downward slide or on the climb to the top, I am sure these stories will provide inspiration, encouragement and a source of hope that will enable you to find the handle to steady you through the dips and bumps of your own journey through life's great adventure.' -- Wendy Craig

Fans of Jason Reynolds and Sharon M. Draper will love this oh-so-honest middle grade novel from writer and educator Maurice Broaddus. Thelonius Mitchell is tired of being labeled. He’s in special ed, separated from the “normal” kids at school who don’t have any “issues.” That’s enough to make all the teachers and students look at him and his friends with a constant side-eye. (Although his disruptive antics and pranks have given him a rep too.) When a gun is found at a neighborhood hangout, Thelonius and his pals become instant suspects. Thelonius may be guilty of pulling crazy stunts at school, but a criminal? T isn’t about to let that label stick.

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller in Bliss County, where the women are ready to meet the men of their dreams! THE MARRIAGE PACT Ten years ago, Hadleigh Stevens was eighteen and this close to saying "I do," when Tripp Galloway interrupted her walk down the aisle. Now that she’s recovered from her youthful mistake and Tripp’s interference, Hadleigh and her single friends form a marriage pact. She doesn’t expect Tripp to meddle with her new plan to find Mr. Right—or to discover that she’s more attracted to him than ever! Divorced and eager to reconnect with his cowboy roots, Tripp returns to Bliss County to save his ailing father’s ranch. He’s not looking for another wife—certainly not his best friend’s little sister. But he’s never been able to forget Hadleigh… THE MARRIAGE CHARM The women of Bliss County have a pact—to find husbands. The right husbands. One already has: Hadleigh Stevens, who married rancher Tripp Galloway a few months ago. Now Melody Nolan thinks it’s her turn. Melody has recently found success as a jewelry designer, and her work is the focus of her life. She’s not exactly unhappy, but she wants more. She’s always been attracted to Spence Hogan, the local chief of police, but she’s convinced that Spence, a notorious charmer, isn’t what you’d call husband material. Spence is a good cop who isn’t scared of anything—except love. And yet…there’s something about Melody. Something his heart can’t ignore. THE MARRIAGE SEASON Since Hadleigh, Melody and Bex—the best of best friends—entered into a marriage pact, two of them have found (and married) the men of their hearts. But Bex doesn’t think she’ll be as fortunate as the others. Then single father Tate Calder comes to Mustang Creek with his two sons in tow, boys who befriend Bex’s eightyearold nephew. Which means she and the handsome, aloof newcomer are constantly thrown together. But is the marriage season over? Or can a man with doubts about love be the right husband for a woman who wants it all?
