Book Description
I had the privilege to volunteer at a facility that took care of injured and orphaned wildlife. This was a time in my life when I was in a depression and had health challenges. That summer, working with God's little critters made me realize that my issues were pretty insignificant by comparison. I had the opportunity to feed the tiny baby squirrels, one drop at a time (with an eye dropper). "Careful, not too much or you will drown them!" These little critters were the size of my thumb and almost transparent. I couldn't even see the tiny mouth, but as I held them in my hand, I could feel the pulsing of the heart and the life inside. I fed all four of them with tears running down my face, "this is what life is about!." I am truly grateful for this lesson. I have been inspired to write these stories about some of the other animals I helped raise. I hope that I have been able to express their pain and suffering.

Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
House of Refuge is the third book in the Threefold Cord series. Twins Kevin and Robert reach adolescence, and Kevin soon finds himself being drawn into an illicit relationship by a crafty young female manipulator. The twins also have to deal with a mentally unsound teen who has become obsessed with Robert’s girlfriend. The twins’ younger sibling Jonah shares a secret with Kevin about his recent encounters with some vivid and frightening hallucinations. Neither he nor Kevin can make sense of what they might mean, if they mean anything at all. However, it soon becomes evident that these hallucinatory manifestations have a profound and disturbing significance. The Adamson family takes on the responsibility of caring for a neglected and unloved young boy by the name of Matthew who is discovered bundled up inside Jonah’s play structure. He is injured, soaking wet, cold, starving, and somewhat emaciated. He was cast out by his abusive stepmother who is also a fanatical member of a vile religious cult. Matthew’s sudden arrival at the Adamson household sets in motion a series of happenings that will dramatically alter the future direction of this family. House of Refuge is a continuation of the coming-of-age saga of Jonah and the twins as they grow a bit older. It is also a story about how they do their part to provide critical nurturing and support for abused young people who have suffered greatly from years of unrelenting religious indoctrination.

Sober Curious
Author: Ruby Warrington
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062869051
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Would life be better without alcohol? It’s the nagging question more and more of us are finding harder to ignore, whether we have a “problem” with alcohol or not. After all, we yoga. We green juice. We meditate. We self-care. And yet, come the end of a long work day, the start of a weekend, an awkward social situation, we drink. One glass of wine turns into two turns into a bottle. In the face of how we care for ourselves otherwise, it’s hard to avoid how alcohol really makes us feel… terrible. How different would our lives be if we stopped drinking on autopilot? If we stopped drinking altogether? Really different, it turns out. Really better. Frank, funny, and always judgment free, Sober Curious is a bold guide to choosing to live hangover-free, from Ruby Warrington, one of the leading voices of the new sobriety movement. Drawing on research, expert interviews, and personal narrative, Sober Curious is a radical take down of the myths that keep so many of us drinking. Inspiring, timely, and blame free, Sober Curious is both conversation starter and handbook—essential reading that empowers readers to transform their relationship with alcohol, so we can lead our most fulfilling lives.
