Book Description
This collection of poetry is about power, resilience, overcoming hard times, and unleashing the chains we put on ourselves. These are stories of realizations, heartache, family trauma, healing, blooming love, and finding meaning. In my life I've learned that through the dark times, we must be our own source of light. We have to bring our own sunshine on a cloudy day. We must find ourselves and know our truth in order to learn our purpose. Stories of Heartache - These are the times when we feel broken. This shattering feeling comes from family trauma, bad relationships, mental illness, and the weight of the world on our shoulders. When we experience overwhelming sadness, it can feel like we are isolated in our emotions. Although it can seem lonely at times, we all go through hardships. No matter how different we may be. Stories of Hope - These are the moments where we feel like we're healing. We are evolving and discovering our purpose and who we are supposed to be. These are the stories that bring hopefulness to the future as we mend our broken hearts and tend to our battle scars. Healing is a process. It is a bumpy road along the way, but it's a mission we will accomplish.Stories of Love - These are the stories that make our heart race. The moments in love where it gets intimate. The moments in love where it becomes serious, yet so simple. Those moments where we forget all the bad and the ugly in life. All because a love so beautiful swept you off your feet as if you've never been on the ground. Stories I Treasure the Most - These are the stories of resilience. These are the moments when my soul feels like it's been set free. I am powering through the dark times and I am creating the light I always needed. These are the stories where I saved myself. These are the stories that will forever remind me that I am the one who gets to define who I am. I hope you enjoy these poems as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Book Description
An addictive fantasy romance from TikTok sensation Piper CJ, now newly revised and edited. Two orphans grow into powerful young women as they face countless threats to find their way back to each other. Farleigh is just an orphanage. At least, that's what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.

Book Description
Renowned German social historian Heide Wunder refers to the cosmic image contained in the 1578 Book of Marital Discipline that characterizes the relationship between husband and wife. Today, "He is the sun, she is the moon" might be interpreted as a hierarchy of dominance and subordination. At the time it was used, however, sun and moon reflected the different but equal status of husband and wife. Wunder shows how the history of women and the history of gender relations can provide crucial insights into how societies organize themselves and provide resources for political action. She observes actual circumstances as well as the normative rules that were supposed to guide women's lives. We learn what skills were necessary to take charge of households, what people ate, how they furnished their homes, what birth control measures were available, what role women played in peasant protest. Wunder finds that, in addition to the history of losses and setbacks for women observed by so many current interpreters, there is a history of gains as well. The regency of noble women was normal, as was the shared responsibility of wife and husband in a peasant household, an artisan's workshop, or a merchant's business. Using sources as diverse as memoirs, wedding and funeral sermons, novels, and chronicles, and including a wealth of demographic information, Wunder reveals a surprising new image of early modern women and provides a richer interpretation of early modern Europe.
