The heartwarming tale of one special evening, as two girls who share a bedroom struggle with the problem of not being sleepy at bedtime. This story is told by Amy, five years old, and illustrated by her big sister Sara, age seven, with minimal help from their daddy. In this story, the older sister can't resist jumping on her little sister's bed and tickling her. It doesn't take long for daddy to put an end to this, and tell them to stay in their own beds. But the two sisters quickly realize they can do as they're told, and still throw things at each other. The thing they decide to throw is underwear, and when one pair lands on Amy's head, they both end up laughing uncontrollably. For more information, please visit www.MySisterMakesMeLaugh.com

Book Description
"My book is about being diagnosed with breast cancer and all the wonderful games I got to play. It starts out with the mammogram and further testing and continues with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. I was fortunate to have a less-invasive type of cancer and didn't need the kind of chemotherapy that makes your hair fall out, but I still had problems. I am a nurse, but I was unaware of most of the processes involved in the treatment of breast cancer. I did learn a lot about diagnosis, testing, and prognosis of different types of breast cancer. I also learned a lot about being the patient and how easy it is to get lost in the shuffle. The treatment has become routine for some of the caregivers, and it is easy to get treated like a disease and not a person. I wanted to share my experience to hopefully help others be able to fight for and demand the best treatment for themselves" --

Book Description
In this heartfelt and powerfully affecting coming of age story, a neurodivergent 7th grader is determined to find her missing best friend before it's too late. Now in paperback. Things never seem to go as easily for thirteen-year-old Frankie as they do for her sister, Tess. Unlike Tess, Frankie is neurodivergent. In her case, that means she can't stand to be touched, loud noises bother her, she's easily distracted, she hates changes in her routine, and she has to go see a therapist while other kids get to hang out at the beach. It also means Frankie has trouble making friends. She did have one--Colette--but they're not friends anymore. It's complicated. Then, just weeks before the end of seventh grade, Colette unexpectedly shows up at Frankie's door. The next morning, Colette vanishes. Now, after losing Colette yet again, Frankie's convinced that her former best friend left clues behind that only she can decipher, so she persuades her reluctant sister to help her unravel the mystery of Colette's disappearance before it's too late. A powerful story of friendship, sisters, and forgiveness, Tornado Brain is an achingly honest portrait of a young girl trying to find space to be herself. Inspired by her own neurodiverse child, Cat Patrick writes with authenticity and sincerity in her depiction of Frankie in what is ultimately a love letter to neurodiverse children everywhere.

Book Description
Life can be overwhelming. Life can even leave us raw and broken, both spiritually and physically. And as Christians, we may often wonder how God is present in our personal and global world. Yet God is there for us, even in these moments of brokenness and struggle. In Inspirations for Today, author Dorothea Erdmuth Lotze-Kola responds to the pressures of the world with a heartfelt daily devotional that you can use to find inspiration in prayer and meditation. Offering biblical verses and quotes of wisdom from noted authors, poets, activists, and world dignitaries, Dorothea engages in a daily dialogue where she shares her perspective on faith and life as a marriage and family therapist, as a pastor, and as a wife and a mother with teenaged girls. It can be hard for Christians to engage with today’s world—especially when they feel doubt about God’s presence in their lives. But with daily reflection on God’s Word and time set aside for spiritual meditation, you too can be reminded, each and every day, that God is with you and that he is working in the world as the Holy Spirit.

Skylar and Storm Morrison may be gorgeous twin sisters, but they are as different as night and day. Skylar is savvy and book-smart; Storm is shrewd and street-smart. But a twist of fate lands Storm in jail, where she must trade her Fendi bags and Prada boots for an orange jumpsuit and laceless white sneakers. Meanwhile Skylar makes a name for herself by transforming the restaurant that once belonged to the twins’ late father, Dutch, into Legends, Philadelphia’s hottest new nightclub. Now, newly released from prison, Storm has some serious living to do. And she’s ready to take control of what’s rightfully hers—a share of Legends—with the help of some of Philly’s most notorious thugs. But moving back into the real world will prove much harder than Storm ever imagined. And as Skylar and Storm negotiate their new relationship, both women will feel the pull of Dutch, a figure so powerful he can keep his girls in line years after his death. In the end, the sisters will have to face their shared, tumultuous past—and a future that’s both uncertain and wide open.
