Spit of a Minute: An irreconcilable life.by Dixie Burns

“From gypsies to Jezebels, mules to monkeys and everything in between, the author crafts a rich slate of Flannery O’Connor-esque characters. You cannot help but find yourself pulling for them all, even the mean, low-down drunks and the whores. Make no mistake. Queenie’s is not a sappy coming of age story. Ms. Dixie fearlessly pulls no punches. I cannot wait to see what this original voice comes up with next. ”

*Available now! The rest of the story:” Only More So” What happened to Queenie? How did life turn out for Abba Gee? “Only More So” completes the saga!

“Burn’s language is palpably evocative of the period–you could vividly imagine the scenes in sepia, peopled by those long-ago characters that now only exist as memory.”

“Burns writes with a relaxed, leisurely cadence with confidence in her literary powers. She effectively simulates the feel and mood of the South, as well as the hustle and bustle of the city–something about the writing, not the plot, that reminds me so much of Harper Lee’s classic `To Kill a Mockingbird.’

“Burn’s compelling narrative subtly shifts in tone and texture according to the changes in time, and this is one of the qualities in her writing that makes me hope she actually writes more, and soon.”

Winning Well: A Manager’s Guide to Getting Results—Without Losing Your Soulby Karin HURT

It can feel like a rigged game. Executives set aggressive goals, so managers drive their teams to burnout trying to deliver. Or, employees seek connection and support, so managers focus on relationships . . . and fail to make the numbers. The fallout is stress, frustration, and disengagement, and not just among team members—two-thirds of managers report being disengaged.

To succeed, managers cannot choose between results and relationships. They need both: They must get people to achieve while creating an environment that makes them truly want to. Winning Well offers managers a quick, practical action plan—complete with examples, stories, and online assessments. They will learn how to:

• Stamp out the corrosive win-at-all-costs mentality

• Sustain energy and momentum
• Correct poor performance without drama
• Build productive relationships
• Be the leader people want to work for

Today’s hypercompetitive economy has created tense, overextended workplaces. Keep it productive, rewarding, and even fun with this one-stop success kit.

Finding Dolores: An Adoptee’s Mid-Life Search for the Beginningby Thomas Muldary

For two years, psychologist and author Thomas Muldary searched tenaciously for his family of origin, unaware of forces working against him to prevent the revelation of a secret that had been concealed for nearly half a century. The closer he came to discovering the truth, the more intense the resistance became. Ultimately, someone had to prevail.
Finding Dolores is a compelling true story of perseverance and triumph over failure and adversity. It details an extraordinary journey against all odds to learn the truth, connect with genetic history, and claim a birth right. For some, Finding Dolores is a virtual guide for adoption searches, with informative resources and facts about the experiences and challenges of adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, and anyone touched by adoption. Above all, it is a source of inspiration and hope, which are essential for adoptees if they are ever to learn the most fundamental truths of their existence: their origins.
