Book Description
The Girl Without Shoes is a true story that will inspire you and can help you liberate yourself from the bondage of abuse by empowering you to persevere, and to overcome. Sadly, many people experience abuse in their lives, and victims of violent acts often find themselves alienated and misunderstood by others who do not live in the wake of that trauma. But we are never alone! God helps us both in the ups and downs of life to give us the will to be able to speak strength and love into our lives and into the lives of others. If we encounter the pain and hardships of abuse, it is important to resist negativity; we must grieve, but also forgive and rise above, so we can restore health and goodness in life. With The Girl Without Shoes, you can share in Margaret's own powerful story of restoration! Margaret Marie, M.S., C.R.C., works as a counselor/private consultant. She is a Trauma Recovery Facilitator and is a strong advocate for people who may have experienced diverse kinds of abuse and trauma. Margaret is the author of two other dynamic titles about domestic violence and overcoming abuse, No Weapon Formed Against Thee Shall Prosper, and Choose Well: The Choices That You Make Affect Your Destiny.

Book Description
A collection of terrifying and esoteric short stories from the postulant horror writer, D. H. McKee Fifteen tales swarm up from the pages, surrounding you, lurking just out of reach, waiting for you to turn out the light. Even the mundane becomes questionable. Do you trust the mournful whistling of the custodian as he sweeps the leaves from the ancient sidewalk? What about the ghostly shadows of children dancing against the far wall of the square? Or how about those strange, creaking vines growing in the cracks of the building? The ones which seem to move away as you step closer. The thing in the road is screaming. Can you hear it? What about the strange noises over the radio, which seem to drown out the cries of the student trapped in a box, miles below the surface of the Earth?
