Book Description
Happily married, fulfilling career, and babies on her mind, Mercy was excited about her future. At 32 years old, life was unfolding exactly as she had envisioned. Then, overnight, her foundation collapsed as one by one she lost her husband, career and home. Her life as she knew it shattered; but then, over the next two and a half years, it was rebuilt in extraordinary ways. Through her short but amazing journey, she shares with us her story of great loss followed by three unexpected miracles. Mercy maintains an amusing attitude, reminding us that even in the most trying times, we can still experience joy. Her story is also one of faith, connecting to intuition and opening her heart and mind to a different life. Most importantly, she sheds light on a population of children that is being dismissed, neglected and mostly forgotten about: adolescent foster kids. She admits she wasn’t aware of the reality of the foster care system until she was thrust into it. She shares the intimate details of the system, the process to become a foster parent and the remarkable gift of becoming a mother. Her story inspires us to stay positive, look to the future and open our hearts to our neighbors and communities.

Kat and Meg Conquer the World
Author: Anna Priemaza
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062560832
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
For fans of Nicola Yoon’s Everything, Everything, Emery Lord’s When We Collided, and Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl, Anna Priemaza’s debut novel is a heartwarming and achingly real story of finding a friend, being a fan, and defining your place in a difficult world. Kat and Meg couldn’t be more different. Kat’s anxiety makes it hard for her to talk to people. Meg hates being alone, but her ADHD keeps pushing people away. But when the two girls are thrown together for a year-long science project, they discover they do have one thing in common: They’re both obsessed with the same online gaming star and his hilarious videos. If they can stick together, this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship—the kind Kat never knew she wanted and Meg never believed she'd find. “Kat and Meg Conquer the World will hit home for anyone who has ever been waist-deep in fandom, doubt, or new relationships; Kat’s and Meg’s unique voices are outstanding, and their friendship brings this story to vibrant life."—Francesca Zappia, author of Made You Up and Eliza and Her Monsters

Book Description
Perfect for fans of Heartland! Take a journey to Heart & Soul Ranch in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia where horses and humans come to heal. Hooves & Hearts Book 1 What he needs is someone to fix his broken horse. What he doesn’t bargain for is losing his heart. In the wake of having his perfectly planned future ripped out from under him, Carter O’Sheen finds himself the unexpected, and somewhat reluctant, owner of D’Artagnan: a dressage horse with an expensive price tag. Not only does Carter know practically nothing about horses, the horse’s surly behavior is making Carter’s job of taking care of him more than a little difficult. Carter knows he needs help, but he doesn’t know where to turn. The last training client Meg Beckett wants to take on is Carter O’Sheen, the heir to the famous O’Sheen Distillery. She’s already got her hands full trying to keep Heart and Soul Ranch running and the bills paid. But when Carter reveals how desperate his situation is, Meg finds that she can’t bring herself to turn him and his horse away. She agrees to take on D’Artagnan, promising herself that she won’t fall for the horse’s handsome owner in the process. But Carter and Meg soon discover that the situation surrounding D’Artagnan is more complicated, and more dangerous, than they first thought. Someone has it out for the horse, and they’ll stop at nothing to get what they want. If they want to keep D’Artganan, and the ranch, safe, Meg and Carter will have to work together. But doing so might put something else they don’t expect at risk: their hearts.
