Book Description
Forgiveness comes in many forms, from many places, and for many reasons. But often the hardest forgiveness to accept is the forgiveness you sometimes need to give yourself. Kevin Ahern is a lost and broken man. Faced with crushing guilt over something he could not have foreseen nor controlled, Kevin sets out to find his own redemption. He hopes to bring back to life one of the things his daughter loved mosta carousel. The restoration of an antique carousel and the resurrection of the dying carousel art form soon become his sole passion and quest in life. Just finding this lost historical gem will prove difficult enough. True wooden carousels have not been built for decades. They have been replaced with pre-molded fiberglass animals displayed on uninspired, mass-produced machines. Great master carverslike Cernigliaro, Illions, Looff, Dentzel, Zalar, and the Muller brothersare long gone. Most of the old carousels have been destroyed by fire, neglect, or damaged beyond repair by severe handling. Oftentimes, a carousel is dismantled and the animals and artwork, which command huge prices with collectors, are individually auctioned off, negating the possibility that an authentic carousel can ever be completely restored to its once grand and magical perfection. But none of this deters Kevin. Through his extensive research, he believes he may have finally located a surviving and intact but forgotten carousel. His search will bring him to a small Midwest town, just a dot on a map, where a circle of new friends and an enigmatic stranger on an unusual quest of his own will slowly reveal to Kevin what he truly must restore: his own heart.

Book Description
Reclaim Your Headspace and Find Your One True Voice As a hospital chaplain, J.S. Park encountered hundreds of patients at the edge of life and death, listening as they urgently shared their stories, confessions, and final words. J.S. began to identify patterns in his patients’ lives—patterns he also saw in his own life. He began to see that the events and traumas we experience throughout life become deafening voices that remain within us, even when the events are far in the past. He was surprised to find that in hearing the voices of his patients, he began to identify his own voices and all the ways they could both harm and heal. In The Voices We Carry, J.S. draws from his experiences as a hospital chaplain to present the Voices Model. This model explores the four internal voices of self-doubt, pride, people-pleasing, and judgment, and the four external voices of trauma, guilt, grief, and family dynamics. He also draws from his Asian-American upbringing to examine the challenges of identity and feeling “other.” J.S. outlines how to wrestle with our voices, and even befriend them, how to find our authentic voice in a world of mixed messages, and how to empower those who are voiceless. Filled with evidence-based research, spiritual and psychological insights, and stories of patient encounters, The Voices We Carry is an inspiring memoir of unexpected growth, humor, and what matters most. For those wading through a world of clamor and noise, this is a guide to find your clear, steady voice.

Book Description
It is 1852 as approximately fifty slaves work a one-hundred-acre cotton plantation in Carolina County, Virginia. Little Emeline, one of five slaves residing in the big house on the Berkley plantation, has been gifted with buttercream-colored skin, beauty, and innocence. Ten years later, Emeline is one of the privileged who has been assigned to complete arduous tasks around the house. Despite what she sees and hears, she has learned to keep her head down and stay out of white folks’ way. Her husband, George, is Master Berkley’s valet and driver, who understands what life is like for the other slaves who are beaten, sold, and cannot read or write. George wants nothing more than to escape their life of bondage. Emeline, on the other hand, is terrified of what might await them on the other side. Two years later, George runs off and joins the Union Army, leaving Emeline behind to wonder whether he is alive or dead. But what she does not know is that the taste of freedom is closer than she thinks. In this compelling historical tale, two privileged slaves toiling on a Virginia cotton plantation embark on a journey toward freedom, instigating a generational curse that transforms the future.
