"Imagine being stuck on a crazy merry-go-round that won't stop. You're spinning endlessly, unable to focus or catch your breath.
This is the reality for many children today, caught in the frantic pace of life. Forces beyond their control rush them along, moving so fast that there's little room for God in their thoughts or on their calendars. They're left struggling to establish roots in community, reliable morals, or any kind of relationship with God.
The good news is it's possible to help children experience life at a slower pace. You can push back against the demands of our superficial, artificial, automatic, and always-on culture. In Savoring Childhood, Grace Pouch offers small steps you can take to help children experience life at a pace where friendship with God has the time and space to flourish.
With this book, you'll learn how to
- resist the formation of spirit-harming habits and appetites,
- set a pace that supports freedom, connection, and depth, and
- nurture skills for healthy relationships with God and others."
""Heartfelt, heartwarming, joyful, and uplifting. You can't go wrong with a Rachel Linden book."-#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber
A tantalizing novel about a struggling chocolatier who is granted a magical vision of the future of her dreams, only to realize that her heart may desire something else entirely, from the bestselling author of The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie.
Paris trained chocolatier and single mother Emmie Wynne gave up her own dreams six years ago when she returned to her Pacific Northwest coastal tourist town to run her family's struggling candy store. Now on her thirty-fourth birthday, Emmie has only one wish, to be granted the vision that every Wynne woman is given once in her lifetime-a shimmering glimpse of her true destiny. This year, when she blows out her candles, it finally comes true.
Her vision is more delectable than she could've imagined-her very own artisanal chocolate shop filled with decadent truffles and caramels, and her celebrity crush, Henry Summers, down on one knee. And when Henry suddenly arrives in town for the summer, offering Emmie the opportunity of a lifetime, the future in her vision suddenly seems possible.
But a rekindled connection with Jakob, her former high school best friend turned hunky, brooding tattooed baker, forces Emmie to grapple with the bittersweet realization that her destiny may not be what her heart truly longs for. As the culmination of her vision draws nearer, can Emmie find the courage to create a happiness of her own making?"
"Curiosity slows us down, tunes us in for transformation, pushes past shame, activates awe, and rewrites with hope.
Sacred Curiosity explores how the simple practice of remaining open to wonder can become a powerful force for personal and communal renewal.
Through personal stories, spiritual reflection, and practical ideas, Britney Winn Lee reveals how curiosity slows us down when life feels overwhelming, builds bridges across our deepest divisions, pushes past shame toward liberation, and rewilds our domesticated spirits. Neither a theological treatise nor a scientific study, and yet somehow a wonder-filled blend of the two, this book offers a heartfelt exploration of curiosity as both grace and practice. Lee writes as a fellow pilgrim who has experienced curiosity's transformative power firsthand—hating and fearing less through its freeing and connective guidance.
With reflection questions for individuals or groups, the book invites us to experience curiosity not as a luxury or personality trait, but as an indispensable value for navigating our complex world. It's an invitation to follow breadcrumbs of wonder toward a more generous, hopeful way of being."
"A second-chance romance that questions whether a whirlwind, week-long love story can still stir something three decades later.
In 1993, Lili and Reid lock eyes after a Jeff Buckley show at Sin-é in New York's East Village. Their connection is immediate and intense—kicking off a steamy summer romance that cracks something open for both of them—but the pursuit of another passion cuts it short. Thirty years later, they're both navigating midlife as single parents of teen girls when they cross paths once more. Can they find their way to each other through the complexities of adulthood better than they could during the relative simplicity of their youth?"
"'Some say the world will end in fire.
Some say in ice...'—Robert Frost
Alexa Glock is teetering on a precipice, the ground threatening to open up beneath her—and it's not just the immediate peril of retrieving a long–lost hiker's skull, given up by a melting and dangerous glacier. She's spending a ski weekend with boyfriend DI Bruce Horne and his two daughters, and she couldn't be more terrified. An entire weekend trying to win over a sullen teenager and a preteen with obvious loyalties to Mom? She's more comfortable almost sliding to her death on an unstable glacier. When she indeed finds herself dangling in a crevasse waiting for the experts to rescue her, she discovers a pelvis (wearing a red Speedo!) frozen in the ice, and the heartbreaking task of identifying multiple remains and bringing closure to families begins.
Once safely back on terra firma, awaiting the arrival of Bruce and his dreaded daughters, Alexa follows the smell of smoke to a nearby pizza joint which has been completely destroyed by fire. When a body is discovered in the smoldering ruins, Alexa splits her time between fire and ice, working to identify a family's long–lost loved one and the charred remains of the fire victim. Then an avalanche during a snowboard competition leaves Bruce's oldest daughter missing along with the snowboarder she's been hanging out with. As Bruce and other rescuers race to find the missing teens, evidence begins to suggest that neither the fire nor the avalanche were accidents, and that the daughter's boyfriend might have information about both..."
"What if the blood running through your veins holds the power to change everything?

In an instant, Cora's world is turned upside down. Leaving behind her mundane waitressing job, she accepts an offer to work at a high-tech research facility in Spain—only to discover the job is more dangerous and mysterious than she ever imagined.
Assigned to protect Cora is Nick, brooding former military and her father's trusted ally. But as they navigate the dark secrets of genetic memory and time travel, their relationship intensifies in ways neither expected—sparking a forbidden romance that challenges everything they thought they knew about duty, loyalty, and love.
As they uncover hidden truths, a powerful enemy lurks in the shadows, determined to exploit Cora's abilities for their own nefarious purposes. With time running out, Cora and Nick must fight not just for survival, but for the fate of the future itself."
"From the author of The Art of Inheriting Secrets comes an emotional new tale of two sisters, an ocean of lies, and a search for the truth.
Her sister has been dead for 15 years when she sees her on the TV news....
Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions - grief, loss, and anger - that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.
After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who’d become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives.
Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything."
"Romee's winter break was planned out months ahead. A week at a cabin in the woods sounded romantic, and maybe it was just what her boyfriend of two years needed to pop the question.
Instead, he proposed they break up, a week before they were destined to wake up Christmas morning, happier than ever. Heartbroken but undaunted, Romee embarks on a solitary journey to the remote cabin, yearning for peace and closure in the tranquil snowscape. Six nights of isolation, wine, and TV shows seemed like the perfect remedy for a breakup.
Yet, from the moment she arrives, an ominous presence clings to her. The house is old, creaking and shifting, as if harboring another occupant. Bizarre occurrences escalate as each day passes, blurring the line between reality and a nightmare, making her question everything. She is alone, right?
When Romee decides it's time to leave the vacation rental early, it's already too late. Snowed in and unable to escape, she has to survive the frigid conditions and limited resources... And the possibility that someone sees her when she's sleeping and knows when she's awake.
I'll Be Alone for Christmas is a suspenseful novella filled with terror, a dash of gore, and packed with Christmas spirit."

That is until Reeve, a charming, successful developer, returns to town, looking for the new owner of the dance hall, intent on turning it into luxury vacation condos.

Reeve wants a second chance with Jules and is determined to earn back her trust. But can she let herself fall for him again? Does he want her, or a guaranteed sale?
Jules wishes she could talk to Kitty, who always seemed to have the best advice, so she turns to the diary she left her. But as Jules falls asleep reading, she wakes up in the world of the diary, fifty years ago, accompanying a young Kitty to the dance hall in all its glory. Her dream visits to Kitty's past begin to parallel the questions plaguing her in her own world. Will Kitty's past hold the keys to unlocking Jules's future?"
"The explosive account of the arson wave that hit the Bronx and other American cities in the 1970s―and its legacy today.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Bronx is burning!” This phrase was supposedly uttered by announcers during the 1977 World Series as flames rose above Yankee Stadium, and it became a defining expression of a turbulent time in American history. Throughout the 1970s, a wave of arson coursed through American cities, destroying entire neighborhoods home to poor communities of color.
Historian Bench Ansfield explains in Born in Flames that the vast majority of the fires were not set by residents, as many believed, but by landlords looking for insurance payouts. Driven by perverse incentives, landlords hired “torches,” mostly Black and Brown youth, to set fires in the buildings. Tens of thousands of families lost their homes to these blazes, yet for much of the 1970s, tenant vandalism and welfare fraud stood as the prevailing explanations for the arson wave, effectively indemnifying landlords.
Based on a decade of research, Ansfield’s book introduces the term “brownlining” for the harmful insurance practices imposed on poor communities of color under the guise of racial redress. As the FIRE industries — finance, insurance, and real estate — eclipsed manufacturing in the 1970s, they began reshaping neighborhoods of color, seeing them as easy sources of profit. Ansfield charts the tenant-led resistance movements and the explosion of pop culture that erupted in response to the fires. The book reveals how these same insurance and race dynamics are at play today, especially in regions most at risk of climate shocks."
"An unlikely duo falsely accused of goat-napping their school mascot must clear their names in this hijinks-fueled middle grade "joyful slice-of-life romp about finding oneself and uplifting others" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) from the National Book Award–longlisted author of Free Period.
Sporty Meg and fashionista Jo don't have much in common besides being seventh graders at Somerset Middle School, where everyone is obsessed with being voted the Greatest of All Time and celebrated at the Harvest Ball. But when their mascot Somerset Babette (a.k.a. the world's cutest goat) is kidnapped, Jo and Meg are wrongfully accused of being the culprits.
The burned-out soccer star and chronically ill overachiever band together and assemble a rag-tag squad to steal the goat back. Banter, activism, self-care, double-crosses, big shenanigans, and even bigger feelings follow as the girls fight to change how animals are treated at their school and achieve true freedom for their four-legged, sweater-chewing friend."
