Book Description
In this “thought-provoking blend of history, biography, women’s studies, and travelogue” (Library Journal) Mia Kankimäki recounts her enchanting travels in Japan, Kenya, and Italy while retracing the steps of ten remarkable female pioneers from history. What can a forty-something childless woman do? Bored with her life and feeling stuck, Mia Kankimäki leaves her job, sells her apartment, and decides to travel the world, following the paths of the female explorers and artists from history who have long inspired her. She flies to Tanzania and then to Kenya to see where Karen Blixen—of Out of Africa fame—lived in the 1920s. In Japan, Mia attempts to cure her depression while researching Yayoi Kusama, the contemporary artist who has voluntarily lived in a psychiatric hospital for decades. In Italy, Mia spends her days looking for the works of forgotten Renaissance women painters of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and finally finds her heroines in the portraits of Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, and Atremisia Gentileschi. If these women could make it in the world hundreds of years ago, why can’t Mia? The Women I Think About at Night is “an astute, entertaining…[and] insightful” (Publishers Weekly) exploration of the lost women adventurers of history who defied expectations in order to see—and change—the world.

Book Description
A beautiful photographic board book featuring babies from all over the world and the sounds their hearts make as they beat with love. No matter what language we speak, no matter where we live in the world, our hearts beat with the same rhythm. We may hear and say the sounds differently—doki doki in Japanese, tu tump tu tump in Italian, dugeun dugeun in Korean, dhak dhak in Urdu, boum boum in French and thump thump in English—but when our hearts beat, all the sounds mean the same thing: you are alive and you are loved.

Book Description
He can’t afford distractions…. Alex Preston is an Olympic silver medalist striving for gold. He’s also developed a revolutionary performance fabric and started a new company to create elite athletic wear. But Alex is more interested in training for the Olympic team than on the piddly details involved in a start-up. It’s a good thing his new marketing director has a great head for business. But how can he focus on anything when her sharp mind and curvy body are driving him to distraction? She’s determined to succeed… London Banks is in over her head. She’s made peace with her curves, and learned long ago to hide her soft heart behind a Teflon exterior. But Alex is dumping more work on her and won’t listen to her vision for the company. Outside work, though, London is falling for him, but would it ruin the image of the Olympic athlete to be seen with a girl that looks like her? In his race for gold, will she get left behind? Biathlon training has taught Alex how to take advantage of an opening, but London isn’t giving him any room to make his move. He wants both her and gold, but she’s convinced she’ll ruin him and his company’s success. Can London overcome her fears to support Alex’s Olympic dreams? Will they both go the distance when their love is on the line? If you like a feel-good romance filled with witty banter and lots of heart, buy Love On The Line today!

oes life go on when your heart is broken? Since her mother's sudden death, Emma has existed in a fog of grief, unable to let go, unable to move forward—because her mother is, in a way, still there. She's being kept alive on machines for the sake of the baby growing inside her.

Until she meets a boy with a bad reputation who sparks something in her—Caleb Harrison, whose anger and loss might just match Emma's own. Feeling her own heart beat again wakes Emma from the grief that has grayed her existence. Is there hope for life after death—and maybe, for love?
