Book Description
"Ellie's Enchantment: A Journey Through the Forest of Whimsy" authored by Ryan Keeler, published on April 7, 2024, is a captivating children's tale that explores the magical adventures of Ellie, a young girl with a vivid imagination and an open heart. Set against the backdrop of the Enchanted Forest of Whimsy, the story begins with Ellie discovering a shimmering envelope in her grandmother's attic, an invitation that leads her to a hidden, mystical forest. As Ellie traverses this magical realm, she meets an array of whimsical creatures, from talking animals to singing flowers, each introducing her to the wonders and secrets of the forest. Guided by Finn, a wise fox with a monocle, Ellie visits extraordinary places within the forest, like the River of Reflections, which reveals the beauty of one's soul, and the Meadow of Mirrors, where mirrors reflect one's inner strengths rather than physical appearance. The narrative beautifully interweaves elements of fantasy with heartfelt lessons on self-discovery, the value of kindness, and the power of positive belief. Throughout her journey, Ellie learns that the true magic of the forest isn't just in the enchanting experiences or the mystical creatures she meets but in the growth and insight she gains about herself and the world around her.

As the story culminates, Ellie returns to her world transformed, carrying with her the profound lessons and the enchanted essence of the Forest of Whimsy. She learns to see her daily life through a lens of wonder and carries the seeds of joy and gratitude back into her community, spreading the magic further.

We all face different challenges in life-we lose loved ones or jobs, fail at relationships or at achieving our goals. While our pain and grief are incomparable among us, one thing is true of all of us: we were created for happiness. But how do you reclaim this birthright in the face of devastating loss, or even just amid the daily hurts and disappointments that pile up year after year? Step one: acceptance. By choosing to accept the reality of your circumstances, you make a mental shift that allows the healing process to begin. The surprising result? Peace.

Acceptance is just the first step in your journey to reclaim a vibrant life. In her book Back to Happy: A Journey of Hope, Healing, and Waking Up, Connie T. Bowman shares how she rediscovered joy after the death of her first child.

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A superb suspense writer…Brava, Ruth Ware. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed.” —Maureen Corrigan, author of So We Read On “This appropriately twisty Turn of the Screw update finds the Woman in Cabin 10 author in her most menacing mode, unfurling a shocking saga of murder and deception.” —Entertainment Weekly From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lying Game and The Death of Mrs. Westaway comes this thrilling novel that explores the dark side of technology. When she stumbles across the ad, she’s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss—a live-in nannying post, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten—by the luxurious “smart” home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family. What she doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare—one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder. Writing to her lawyer from prison, she struggles to explain the events that led to her incarceration. It wasn’t just the constant surveillance from the home’s cameras, or the malfunctioning technology that woke the household with booming music, or turned the lights off at the worst possible time. It wasn’t just the girls, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasn’t even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time, with no adults around apart from the enigmatic handyman. It was everything. She knows she’s made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post, and that her behavior toward the children wasn’t always ideal. She’s not innocent, by any means. But, she maintains, she’s not guilty—at least not of murder—but somebody is. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, The Turn of the Key is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.
