The Waiting Room: Your Friend to Help You and Your Loved Ones through the Diagnosisby Joanna Chanis

The reason I wrote this book was it was exactly what I would have needed after my breast cancer diagnosis but couldn’t find. You see, I was caught between the two worlds—the spiritual, holistic side and the medical, scientific side. I found and read many helpful books on both sides, and I am so grateful for all they taught me. But I still found myself somewhere in the middle between the two. I was and still am a very spiritual and faithful person. Still, I wasn’t comfortable with surrendering to a completely holistic approach. But I am also a person who was extremely conservative medically, so deciding to have a double mastectomy and whatever ongoing treatment the doctors recommended was a big decision for me. 

I knew deep down that no matter how incredible my surgeons and doctors were, and they were all amazing, if I didn’t get myself right inside that they wouldn’t be able to fully do their jobs. So I set forth on a journey that was a hybrid, combining the two to find a space that felt right for me. During this process, I met a woman who was going through a similar diagnosis just a few weeks behind me. I would share what I had learned with her along the way, and it helped us both get through our diagnosis and heal. I am so fortunate that she has now become a dear friend. One of my silver linings of sure.

I started to write this book when I was six weeks post-surgery. It had started as something different, what I thought people would want to read, a little guarded. Then, a few weeks into writing, my daughter Melina came to me and said, “Mom, I hope your book is honest, because I hear you crying every night in your bathroom.” She was right. If I was going to really help people, I needed to be honest. That day I put aside everything holding me back, and I opened my heart and wrote. Thank you for reading.

Verge of Corruption: A Dark, Steamy Paranormal Romanceby P.C. Stevens

This book is a dark, steamy paranormal romance. It contains explicit sex, language, and violence including scenes of rape. However, there is NO sexual violence/dub-con/non-con between the hero and heroine.

Tris couldn’t look away from those indigo eyes. Then, as if a barrier crumbled between them, he had the fierce urge to drape her body with his and skim his mouth over her jaw to her lips… He’d lick the top one, then the bottom before coaxing them open with his tongue…

Tris, a Light-blooded warrior on the run, and Zestine, a fearsome cat shifter, come together as spies in this deliciously dark, sinfully sexy tale of war and treachery, love and devotion.

Some of Tris’s kind have callously shunned their roots by trading their Light for the Darkness. By order of the king and queen, he and Zestine are to investigate the unprecedented metamorphosis. To the Dark Dimension they venture, straight into the heart of enemy territory. Their facade requires they pose as lovers, and for Tris to trick his Dark kin into believing he’s one of them, the reality of which proves abominable. He must look the other way while others are mistreated, and partake in heinous tasks to keep from raising suspicion.

Tempting death becomes a means to survive. By surrounding himself in Darkness, Tris’s Light weakens. Though Zestine’s a top predator and efficient killer, it’s not long before she finds herself powerless and close to breaking.

Yet they’re not without a glimmer of hope, as even love can be found in the Darkness. And in their world, love is much more than an emotion. It’s a weapon the enemy won’t see coming.

Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery: How You Can Recover from Emotional Abuse, Recognize Narcissists & Manipulators and Break Free Once and for Allby Don Barlow

Break free from the lies and manipulation that are keeping you captive

You’re positive you saw a flirty text from another woman on your husband’s phone. Yet, when you confront him, he tells you you’re imagining things and being paranoid.

A co-worker sarcastically mentions that you’re not contributing enough to the big project. When you get offended, they say they were just joking and that you’re too sensitive.

Your mother constantly criticizes your weight. When you bring up her comments around other people, she denies ever saying them and says you are making up stories.

Have you repeatedly found yourself in these types of situations where you end up doubting yourself?

They might have occurred with different people, in different circumstances, but the way they make you feel is the same.

Your feelings are trivialized, your thoughts are manipulated, and your reality is denied.

When this is done to you repeatedly, you begin to feel confused or even crazy. You are left questioning your own reality and sanity.

These are classic signs that you’re being gaslighted, and it’s something to take very seriously.

Gaslighting is a covert form of abuse that affects your confidence and trust in yourself, which the abuser then takes advantage of to keep you under their control.

Whether it’s a spouse, parent, or co-worker, it’s hard to break loose from the grip of a gaslighting manipulator.

You will need to know how gaslighters operate, how their behavior is affecting you, and how you can reclaim your truth.

In Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, you will discover:

• The sneaky tactics gaslighters employ that catch you off-guard and make you more vulnerable to their exploitation
• How to hold on to your grip on reality, despite the gaslighter’s efforts to undermine it
• Powerful ways to respond to gaslighters, block their attacks, and take back control of the conversation
• Why self-care is a critical component in coping with abuse, especially if you need to regularly interact with a gaslighter
• The shift in mindset to help you finally gain the courage to escape an abusive relationship
• What you need to do after leaving a gaslighting relationship to make sure you don’t fall into the same cycle again
• Why you shouldn’t expect any closure from your abuser, and why you can still move on without it
• How to rebuild your sense of self after years of being torn down by others

And much more.

Acknowledging that you’re being abused is the first step towards recovery.

After years of gaslighting, you may be so used to it that you no longer recognize this is not a normal way to live.

You might believe that there’s no way out, or you can’t imagine life without the one who’s manipulating you.

But if you truly want to be able to live life on your own terms, cutting yourself off from the source of your pain is essential.

It won’t happen overnight, and it will take committed effort, but you can feel like yourself again – the person you used to be… the person you’re meant to be.

The Boy Without A Faceby Starr Sanders

The town of Silver Falls is shaken when Michael, a high school student, is dragged into the woods by three students and severely attacked. The leader of the group, Lionel Bestick, beats Michael with his steel toed boots and a rusted pipe. The two other boys are frozen, and unwilling to stop what is happening. Blow after blow, Michael’s face is torn off.

Michael survives the media firestorm where he is dubbed “The Boy Without a Face.” He endures two years in the hospital having seventeen operations to repair his face. He emerges transformed, with a completely new face and a cunning plan for revenge.

Michael changes his name to Jonathan and becomes a lawyer and later a judge. He returns to the town where the beating occurred and begins following the three perpetrators in order to set his revenge plan in motion. Using the mask making skills he acquired while in the hospital, Michael begins to frame each perpetrator for a crime, knowing that they will end up inside his own courtroom for sentencing.

As Michael destroys his childhood bullies one by one, he also begins to see them as real human beings, and their culpability is called into question. There is also one person in Silver Falls who can see right through Jonathan’s new face to his previous identity. Will Jonathan be exposed as Michael before he can destroy the most vicious of the three bullies? Will Michael lose everything, including the woman he loves, all in the name of vengeance? With page turning intensity, Sanders reveals the psychic toll of a life fueled by revenge.

This international bestseller from the author of A Year in the Merde “combines the gaffes of Bridget Jones with the boldness of James Bond” (Publishers Weekly).
When the glorious oceanographer Gloria Monday convinces Paul West to travel to the swank beaches of southern France–where she’s investigating caviar-smuggling cartels–he assumes he’s about to have the time of his life. But for West, France has always been full of surprises underfoot, and this trip is no exception to the rule.
