Book Description
Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it. Habakkuk 2:2 “I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong; but time and chance happen to them all.” (King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 9:11) But- he who endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:21-22 Dana’s journey, which began in The Fine Print, is far from over. Her travels, however, have caused her to be confronted with numerous detours, as well as encounter new, unwilling, and perhaps, unwelcomed companions traveling on the road with her which has created road hazards and propelled her to wonder whether the destination she sought will ever be reached or, if the signs she followed were pointing her towards the wrong direction?

Book Description
Just because you’d give your best friend everything doesn’t mean she has to take it. On the heels of a divorce, all Danielle Meyers wants is her annual vacation with sassy, life-long best friend, Smidge—complete with umbrella cocktails by an infinity pool—but instead she’s hit with the curveball of a lifetime. Smidge takes Danielle to the middle of nowhere to reveal a diagnosis of terminal cancer, followed by an unusual request: “After I’m gone, I want you to finish the job. Marry my husband. Raise my daughter. I’m gonna teach you to how to be Smidge 2.0.” As Danielle wrestles with this major life decision, she finds herself torn between being true to her best friend’s wishes and being honest with herself. Parenting issues aside, Smidge’s small-town Louisiana world is exactly the one Danielle made sure to escape. Danielle isn’t one for playing the social butterfly, or being the center of attention. And when your best friend tries to set you up on a date night with her husband, it might be time to become the bossy one for a change. In the spirit of Beaches and Steel Magnolias, You Take It from Here is an honest, hilarious, and heartbreaking novel that ultimately asks: How much should we sacrifice for the ones we love the most?

Book Description
An emotional, page-turning account of unhealed trauma and personal transformation that will break your heart and change your mind, in the tradition of Somebody's Daughter, A Piece of Cake, and Jesmyn Ward's Men We Reaped Riveting, honest, and raw, I Can Take It From Here recounts Lisa Forbes's harrowing journey into darkness — including a fourteen-year-long stint in a maximum-security prison — and her fierce resolve to understand the effects of the trauma she endured, to take personal responsibility for her actions, and to ensure that her history does not dictate her destiny. The youngest of six children, Lisa grew up in a Chicago housing project where she endured sexual, religious, and emotional abuse as a little girl. A voracious reader, she graduated high school at 15 and went to work as a secretary in a downtown insurance office, became pregnant at 16 and, at 19, unexpectedly and uncharacteristically committed a violent act, stabbing and killing the father of her daughter. Providing powerful insights into what we as a society need to learn and confront in the ongoing epidemic of mass re-incarceration, Lisa is a stunning example of an individual who through determination, knowledge, and hard work has been able to reclaim her own life. The book ends with Lisa's rousing call to action to support the people—as well as the shorthanded employers—who need the help, and need each other, more than ever.

Book Description
The constant playback of "What the hell are you doing with your life?" was my 3 am monster that woke me up daily and kept me from having a full night's sleep. Why was I unable to find my life's purpose while others around me seemed to be doing that just fine?Fear crept in daily, overwhelming me with confusion and second-guessing every decision I was about to make. You are not good enough, not educated enough, not interesting or important enough, and mostly I heard "you are not enough."The messages at 3 am were a constant playback in my mind until I started to listen to what they were saying. I began to question how all this self-doubt arrived in my life after all and began to do the work that required me to put my ear to my heart.In Thank You, Fear - I'll Take It From Here, I share my journey from being locked in my self-sabotage to unlocking my true potential. I did this by listening to the real message I was receiving from my fear. The messages of "you are not good enough" began to fade as I uncovered the power within the passage.The messages were my higher self nudging me towards greatness. Once I began to see the opportunities unfold in front of me by embracing the fear, I had a deeper understanding of truly knowing what my higher self was leading me toward - greatness.Fear has the power we give it. We can take an opportunity and attach fear to it, or we can take an opportunity and see possibilities, it's a choice. We can own our greatness and step into the unknown with courage and self-confidence or we can choose self-sabotage and defeatism.Thank You, Fear - I'll Take It From Here is an opportunity to:* Own your greatness* Unlock your true potential* Live your life authenticallyby learning the language of fear and deciding how to interpret it. Leaning into the discomfort is the beginning of great opportunity, adventure, and living your life's purpose.
