Book Description
Most families have one negative heritage or another associated with them. Some have struggled with these evil foundations for centuries. Others have accepted persistent reproaches as their lot in life. Yet others, in an attempt to change the tides of calamities, have sought for solutions in places that compounded their situation. What do you do when you notice the scourge of premature death in your family? How do you explain the persistence of poverty in the midst of plenty? Why do some family members work like elephants and eat like ants? Why are women in certain families unable to keep their husbands? Why is divorce a mark of identification for some families? These are the concerns we have chosen to address in this book on principles of dealing with evil heritage

Book Description
What happened to the ancient Egyptians? The Persians? The Romans? The Mayans? ARE WE THEIR DESCENDANTS? Recent genetic discoveries are uncovering surprising links between us and the peoples of old—links that rewrite race, ethnicity, and human history. Today’s Native Americans descend from Central Asians who arrived in the early A.D. era. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob still have clearly identifiable descendants, albeit rare ones. Every people group on earth can genetically trace their origins to Noah and his three sons.

Book Description
We live in a time of great uncertainty about relationships. We search for "The One," but find ourselves staying single because nobody measures up. The reality of our relationships is not what we expected, and it becomes hard to balance it with all the other things that we want out of life. At the same time that marriage shows itself to be the one 'recession proof' industry; the rates of separation and break-up soar ever higher. Rewriting the Rules is a friendly guide through the complicated - and often contradictory - rules of love: the advice that is given about attraction and sex, monogamy and conflict, gender and commitment. It asks questions such as: which to choose from all the rules on offer? Do we stick to the old rules we learnt growing up, or do we try something new and risk being out on our own? This book considers how the rules are being 'rewritten' in various ways, for example the 'new monogamy', alternative commitment ceremonies, different ways of understanding gender, and new ideas for managing conflict and break-up where economics and child-care make complete separation a problem. In this way Rewriting the Rules gives the power to the reader to find the approach which fits their situation.

Book Description
In Breaking the Cycle: How to Heal Generational Trauma and Rewrite Your Story, Rosie Peggy Greenwood offers a compassionate and empowering guide to understanding and healing from the deep wounds of generational trauma. This transformative book explores how the unspoken pains and unresolved issues of our ancestors can shape our lives in profound ways, influencing our relationships, mental health, and overall sense of self. With a blend of personal stories, scientific research, and practical exercises, Greenwood provides readers with the tools they need to break free from the past and create a brighter, healthier future for themselves and future generations. Understanding Generational Trauma: Generational trauma, also known as intergenerational trauma, refers to the transmission of traumatic experiences and emotional pain from one generation to the next. It can manifest in various ways, such as patterns of abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and emotional disconnection, often without the individual understanding the root cause of their struggles. Breaking the Cycle delves into the science behind this phenomenon, drawing on research in epigenetics, psychology, and family systems theory to explain how trauma can be passed down through the generations and how it impacts our lives today. The Healing Journey: This book is not just about understanding trauma; it’s about healing it. Greenwood guides readers through a step-by-step process of identifying and addressing the generational patterns that may be holding them back. With chapters dedicated to self-awareness, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems therapy, and narrative therapy, Breaking the Cycle offers a comprehensive toolkit for healing. Each chapter is filled with practical exercises, reflection prompts, and actionable strategies designed to help readers uncover hidden wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and rewrite their personal and family narratives. Inspiring Stories of Transformation: Throughout the book, readers will find inspiring stories of individuals and families who have successfully broken the cycle of generational trauma. These stories illustrate the diverse paths to healing and demonstrate that transformation is possible, no matter how deep the pain or how long the trauma has been present. By sharing these real-life examples, Greenwood offers hope and encouragement, showing that it is possible to overcome the past and build a new legacy rooted in resilience, empowerment, and love. Building a New Legacy: Breaking the Cycle is also a guide to building a new legacy—one that is free from the constraints of the past and rich with possibility for the future. Greenwood emphasizes the importance of cultivating positive habits, establishing healthy relationships, and engaging in communities that foster growth and healing. The book provides specific guidance for parents on how to raise children in a way that prevents the transmission of trauma, ensuring a healthier emotional and psychological environment for the next generation. A Lifelong Commitment to Healing: Healing from generational trauma is not a one-time event; it is a lifelong journey. Breaking the Cycle reinforces the idea that healing is a continuous process, with its own set of challenges and rewards. Greenwood encourages readers to stay committed to their path of transformation, offering words of empowerment and hope. She reminds readers that they have the power to change their story, break free from the past, and create a future that is defined by strength, resilience, and hope. Who Should Read This Book: Breaking the Cycle is for anyone who feels burdened by the weight of their past or the struggles of their family history. Whether you are aware of the trauma in your lineage or have only recently begun to explore these issues, this book offers valuable insights and tools for healing. It is also an essential resource for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals who work with clients dealing with generational trauma. Conclusion: In Breaking the Cycle: How to Heal Generational Trauma and Rewrite Your Story, Rosie Peggy Greenwood offers a compassionate, insightful, and practical guide to breaking free from the chains of generational trauma. With a focus on empowerment and transformation, this book provides readers with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration needed to heal from the past and create a legacy of hope, strength, and resilience for future generations. Whether you are at the beginning of your healing journey or well on your way, this book will serve as a trusted companion, guiding you toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Book Description
"A beautiful amalgam of memoir, travelogue, and investigative report that moves with the propulsive forward energy of a thriller. A haunting chronicle of loss and redemption." --Ron Chernow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Alexander Hamilton In the wake of her mother's death, Jessica Pearce Rotondi uncovers boxes of letters, declassified CIA reports, and newspaper clippings that bring to light a family ghost: her uncle Jack, who disappeared during the CIA-led "Secret War" in Laos in 1972. The letters lead her across Southeast Asia in search of the truth that has eluded her family for decades. What she discovers takes her closer to the mother she lost and the mysteries of a secret war that changed the rules of engagement forever. In 1943, 19-year-old Edwin Pearce jumps from a burning B-17 bomber over Germany. Missing in action for months, his parents finally learn he is a prisoner of war in Stalag 17. Ed survives nearly three years in prison camp and a march across the Alps before returning home. Ed's eldest son and namesake, Edwin "Jack," follows his father into the Air Force. But on the night of March 29, 1972, Jack's plane vanishes over the mountains bordering Vietnam and Ed's past comes roaring into the present. In 2009, Ed's granddaughter, Jessica Pearce Rotondi, is grieving her mother's death when she stumbles across declassified CIA documents, letters, and maps that reveal her family's decades-long search for Jack. What We Inherit is Rotondi's story of her own hunt for answers as she retraces her grandfather's 1973 path across Southeast Asia in search of his son. An excavation of inherited trauma on a personal and national scale, What We Inherit reveals the power of a father's refusal to be silenced and a daughter's quest to rediscover her voice in the wake of loss. As Rotondi nears the last known place Jack was seen alive, she grows closer to understanding the mystery that has haunted her family for generations--and the destructive impact of a family secret so big it encompassed an entire war.
