Book Description
Longlisted for the Center for Fiction Debut Novel prize, this fableistic, "beautifully crafted, poetic" debut novel about a sister trying to hold back her brother from the edge of the abyss is for readers of Jesmyn Ward and Tommy Orange (The New York Times Book Review). In the tourist town of Ciudad de Tres Hermanas, in the aftermath of their mother's passing, two siblings spend a final weekend together in their childhood home. Seeing her brother, Rafa, careening toward a place of no return, Rufina devises a bet: if they can make enough money performing for privileged tourists in the plaza over the course of the weekend to afford a plane ticket out, Rafa must commit to living. If not, Rufina will make her peace with Rafa's own plan for the future, however terrifying it may be. As the siblings reckon with generational and ancestral trauma, set against the indignities of present-day prejudice, other strange hauntings begin to stalk these pages: their mother's ghost kicks her heels against the walls; Rufina's vanished child creeps into her arms at night; and above all this, watching over the siblings, a genderless, flea-bitten angel remains hell-bent on saving what can be saved.

Book Description
Brigit Stryder was sexually abused at age four and again at age twelve. This resulted in bedwetting, anxiety, and a disorder that caused her to pull out her eyelashes. She suffered these symptoms until her early teens, but she didn’t recognize it was the result of the sexual abuse until her early fifties. In I See You, she shares the raw account of how she struggled for years with her untold story of sexual abuse and her journey out of the cycle of feeling like a victim. Stryder provides honest and vulnerable details of her childhood story that many can identify with. She narrates how the journey back into herself gave her the tools to step off the trauma treadmill and bring her girl home. In this self-improvement book, Stryder tells how she harnesses the power of emotional freedom technique (EFT) tapping and ritual as tools to support others’ individual process. I See You presents a refreshing and unique offering to help illuminate your conscious and unconscious wounds. It gives you a chance at a new beginning, one in which we can all join in an exodus from our pasts and the feelings of powerlessness that have trapped us as adults and children.

Book Description
This is a story meant to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for the minority women in speech-language pathology who find themselves struggling with a sense of belonging in their field. It follows the autobiographical accounts of Barbara Fernandes, an adult immigrant to the US, as she embarks on her journey as a CSD student learning both English and Spanish. It tells of her struggles facing isolation, microaggressions, and her own internal battles to eventually become one of the most successful entrepreneurs within the SLP field. The journey from striving to thriving is amplified by the inclusion of her many Black and Brown, Latinx, Asian, and immigrant colleagues as they open up to share their own relatable challenges to persist within their field. The book serves as a rallying cry for unity and tolerance amongst minority SLPs, and it offers hope for minoritized SLP women. Lastly, it goes one final step further, asking much-needed, deep, and thought-provoking questions intended to push the field forward.Foreword by Vicki Deal-Williams, MA CCC-SLPContributors:Maria Claudia Franca, PhD., CCC-SLPLeila Regio, B.AEbony Green M.S CCC-SLPEnjoli M.

Book Description
For many women, "living your best life" is just a slogan. It sounds great, but when it comes to having practical steps that can take it from a cute poster or social media post, to their actual existence, most do not have the tools. Sis, You're Worth It: Seven Ideas for Manifesting Your Best Life takes "living your best life" off the wall and provides women with seven powerful ideas that help them to get clear about what their best life is and how they can manifest it. While the ideas are not new, they are when used this way. They are powerful, life-changing approaches to living an authentically successful life, which is what it means to live your best life. This isn't society's definition that's heavy on the external stuff - material possessions that can never, ever fill the inner void. This is manifesting your best life from the inside-out. It's creating a life where you certainly manifest the external stuff, but your enjoyment of them is magnified because they do not define you. This is living the life you were born to live, expressing your unique gifts and talents, standing in your truth, being and doing YOU. This is leaving it all on the playing field of life - taking zilch with you to that great graveyard of unfulfilled dreams and unlived lives. This is living your best life!
