Book Description
Mila Torres is a successful divorce lawyer by day, stand-up comedian by night and by all accounts—except her mother’s—living a bisexual elder millennial’s dream life in Washington, DC. That is, until she realizes she’s only a year away from hitting the ripe old age of thirty-five and her doctor suggests at her annual pap smear that maybe she should consider freezing her eggs if she wants kids in the future. Except, she doesn’t want a child in the far future…she wants a child right now. This poses a bit of a problem since she’s ten swipes past single and living Golden Girls style with two of her best friends who work on Capitol Hill and one ornery old cat. That is, until she hears a story from a friend about a free sperm bank online app called Baby Bank. A few margaritas later and Mila has swiped on over fifty sperm donors until she finds the perfect match—handsome, successful, brilliant, everything you’d want your sperm to be. Now she’s meeting him at a hotel—along with two of her friends for backup—to complete the process. All should have gone smoothly, except when she learns that her sperm donor is the brother of the reporter that Mila has been dodging for months, and that while she originally only wanted this man’s baby, she actually wants his sister, too. In a comedic story of LGBTQIA+ romance and millennial-specific drama, Mila finds that motherhood and dating are not compatible when you keep it all in the family and that the modern millennial woman might not actually be able to have it all. The first in a series of standalone lesbian and queer themed romance novels coming to ebook, audiobook, and paperback.

Living Generously is a new resource from the Church of Scotland to promote a whole-life approach to Christian stewardship.

Banking
Author: Graham Flower
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1780883110
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Over the past 30 years, banks have increasingly lost their relevance to the customer. Thinking that primarily focused on their internal needs, and not their customers’, led to them to neglect emerging customer trends and created a space for new competitors to challenge their position. Consumers learnt many valuable lessons during the financial crisis at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, which coincided with the phenomenal rise of social media and consumer-orientated technology, such as smartphone and tablet apps. Uncertainty educated them about the need to gain control over their money and social media taught them the value of their personal data. Banks can no longer assume that they can use consumers’ personal data without their approval. If regulators don’t force banks to become more transparent, consumers certainly will. Banks continue to torture customers with push marketing techniques based on models with declining response rates, whilst ignoring the customers trying to buy across disconnected channels. Meanwhile, new lean non-bank competitors stalk banks, offering consumers compelling experiences by leveraging the new technology, a superior understanding of consumers’ needs (as they are not hindered by legacy product or channel-based thinking) and better use of data.However, all is not lost for traditional banks that have lost relevance to their customers. Banking: In search of relevance outlines a new model to help regain relevance in the customer’s eyes and discuss how banks might survive the impact of the consumer and technology shockwave. The book will appeal to any executive running a multi-channel financial services business, either B2C or B2B.

Babies Made Us Modern
Author: Janet Golden
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108246133
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Placing babies' lives at the center of her narrative, historian Janet Golden analyzes the dramatic transformations in the lives of American babies during the twentieth century. She examines how babies shaped American society and culture and led their families into the modern world to become more accepting of scientific medicine, active consumers, open to new theories of human psychological development, and welcoming of government advice and programs. Importantly Golden also connects the reduction in infant mortality to the increasing privatization of American lives. She also examines the influence of cultural traditions and religious practices upon the diversity of infant lives, exploring the ways class, race, region, gender, and community shaped life in the nursery and household.
