The Mom in Me - Stories and Practical Advice from Moms Who have Survived Parenting

 

BALTIMORE - Oct. 31, 2020 - It's been said that being a mom is like watching your heart walk around outside of your body. No matter how protective a mother is, there will always be things that are out of our control. This is why twenty-one valiant moms have collaborated to share how they have pushed through and survived seemingly insurmountable obstacles. 

These power-packed, heart-tugging perspectives written by these moms from 9 different states, different races, religious backgrounds, and political affiliation, has been holding steady as a #1 Bestseller since its release two weeks ago. 

Throughout the pages of this book The Mum In Me, you'll experience the strength, determination, and courage of these incredible moms, told through the experiences they have endured along one of the most daring journeys we as women can ever attempt - Motherhood.  This book touches on parenting through depression, miscarriage, incarceration, domestic violence, disabilities, blended families, teenage pregnancy, single parenting, and so much more.

Come alongside the journey of these mothers, as they give a wealth of knowledge on how to reject the idea of being a "perfect mother", and instead embrace the joys of motherhood and all of the ups and downs that come along with it. 

In a book filled with countless anecdotes and innumerable pearls of wisdom, these moms embrace the common spirit to give back and serve others by providing a gentle and much-needed reminder that there's no such thing as a perfect mom. These tremendously brave mothers share their personal stories as well as lessons learned from their experiences.

Tiffany S. described this book as being "full of raw, honest emotion from women from many walks of life. I am amazed at how brave and powerful these women are in sharing their stories. I would definitely recommend this for any momma or momma-to-be!"

Shuggie Bain: Winner of the Booker Prize 2020

 

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE
FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

Shuggie Bain is the unforgettable story of young Hugh “Shuggie” Bain, a sweet and lonely boy who spends his 1980s childhood in run-down public housing in Glasgow, Scotland. Thatcher’s policies have put husbands and sons out of work, and the city’s notorious drugs epidemic is waiting in the wings.

Shuggie’s mother Agnes walks a wayward path: she is Shuggie’s guiding light but a burden for him and his siblings. She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on credit, anything to brighten up her grey life. 

Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps her pride by looking good—her beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth offer a glamorous image of a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor. But under the surface, Agnes finds increasing solace in drink, and she drains away the lion’s share of each week’s benefits—all the family has to live on—on cans of extra-strong lager hidden in handbags and poured into tea mugs. Agnes’s older children find their own ways to get a safe distance from their mother, abandoning Shuggie to care for her as she swings between alcoholic binges and sobriety. 

Shuggie is meanwhile struggling to somehow become the normal boy he desperately longs to be, but everyone has realized that he is “no right,” a boy with a secret that all but him can see. Agnes is supportive of her son, but her addiction has the power to eclipse everyone close to her—even her beloved Shuggie.

A heartbreaking story of addiction, sexuality, and love, Shuggie Bain is an epic portrayal of a working-class family that is rarely seen in fiction. Recalling the work of Édouard Louis, Alan Hollinghurst, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, it is a blistering debut by a brilliant novelist who has a powerful and important story to tell.

Optimize Your Immune System: Create Health and Resilience with a Kitchen Pharmacy

SHERMAN, Conn. - Oct. 11, 2020 Forty years ago, Marie Ruggles got her start researching nutrition and working in the public health sector managing chronic disease and maximizing wellness.

Today, she teaches people how to be proactive about their health, but there was a lack of reliable information for the layperson to learn from. So, she decided to write a home reference guide people could use to learn about natural options for preventative health care and everyday wellness challenges.

Thus began her journey to teach people how to build their own kitchen pharmacies and make the best use of them.

She breaks personal self-care down into three phases:

1. Building a strong foundation.
2. What to do after exposure to an unhealthy person or environment.
3. Immune-boosting support when you feel like you're coming down with something.

To make this food-as-medicine pharmacy accessible to everyone, she focuses on whole foods, super foods and nutrients that are readily accessible, as well as a few key supplements for those on a budget.

These details, and more, are covered in the latest release from Emerald Lake Books, "Optimize Your Immune System: Create Health and Resilience with a Kitchen Pharmacy" (ISBN: 978-194584730-1), released on September 29, 2020.

Diana Noland, co-editor of Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy, described the book as "A treasure trove of practical information arriving at such a time of global urgency to strengthen our immune systems."

While the book was not written specifically to address COVID-19, the author had been thinking about writing it for some time and felt the need became more urgent as she heard from people how afraid they were of getting sick. Often, people seemed to think there was nothing they could do to prevent it, when Ruggles knew that a healthy immune system will fend off many more viral attacks than a weakened one ever could.

The Return by Nicholas Sparks

 

In the romantic tradition of Dear John, Nicholas Sparks returns with the story of an injured Navy doctor -- and two women whose secrets will change the course of his life in this #1 New York Times bestseller.

Trevor Benson never intended to move back to New Bern, North Carolina. But when a mortar blast outside the hospital where he worked sent him home from Afghanistan with devastating injuries, the dilapidated cabin he'd inherited from his grandfather seemed as good a place to regroup as any.

Tending to his grandfather's beloved beehives, Trevor isn't prepared to fall in love with a local . . . yet, from their very first encounter, Trevor feels a connection with deputy sheriff Natalie Masterson that he can't ignore. But even as she seems to reciprocate his feelings, she remains frustratingly distant, making Trevor wonder what she's hiding.

Read now from Amazon

Further complicating his stay in New Bern is the presence of a sullen teenage girl, Callie, who lives in the trailer park down the road. Trevor hopes Callie can shed light on the mysterious circumstances of his grandfather's death, but she offers few clues -- until a crisis triggers a race to uncover the true nature of Callie's past, one more intertwined with the elderly man's passing than Trevor could ever have imagined.

In his quest to unravel Natalie and Callie's secrets, Trevor will learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness . . . and that in life, to move forward, we must often return to the place where it all began.

Greenlights - Matthew McConaughey (Author, Narrator), Random House Audio (Publisher)

 

From the Academy Award-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.

“Unflinchingly honest and remarkably candid, Matthew McConaughey’s book invites us to grapple with the lessons of his life as he did - and to see that the point was never to win, but to understand.” 

I’ve been in this life for 50 years, been trying to work out its riddle for 42, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last 35. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. 

How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. 

Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers.

I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life’s challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call “catching greenlights”. So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. 

This is 50 years of my sights and seems, felts and figured-outs, cools and shameful. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away with, getting coughs, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops. 

Hopefully, it’s medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot’s license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears. It’s a love letter. To life. 

It’s also a guide to catching more greenlights - and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green, too. Good luck.

A Wealth of Pigeons: A Cartoon Collection

Product Description “I've always looked upon cartooning as comedy’s last frontier. I have done stand-up, sketches, movies, monologues, awards show introductions, sound bites, blurbs, talk show appearances, and tweets, but the idea of a one-panel image with or without a caption mystified me. I felt like, yeah, sometimes I’m funny, but there are these other weird freaks who are actually funny. You can understand that I was deeply suspicious of these people who are actually funny.” So writes the multitalented comedian Steve Martin in his introduction to A Wealth of Pigeons: A Cartoon Collection. 

In order to venture into this lauded territory of cartooning, he partnered with the heralded New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss. Steve shared caption and cartoon ideas, Harry provided impeccable artwork, and together they created this collection of humorous cartoons and comic strips, with amusing commentary about their collaboration throughout.

The result: this gorgeous, funny, singular book, perfect to give as a gift or to buy for yourself. About the Author Steve Martin is one of the most well-known talents in entertainment. His work has earned him an Academy Award®, five Grammy® awards, an Emmy®, the Mark Twain Award, and the Kennedy Center Honors.

Chapter 1

Indian wisdom says our lives are rivers. We are born somewhere small and quiet and we move toward a place we can not see, but only imagine. Along our journey, people and events flow into us, and we are created of everywhere and everyone we have passed. Each event, each person, changes us in some way. Even in times of drought we are still moving and growing, but it is during seasons of rain that we expand the most—when water flows from all directions, sweeping at terrifying speed, chasing against rocks, spilling over boundaries. These are painful times, but they enable us to carry burdens we could never have thought possible.

This I learned from my grandmother, when my life was rushing with torrential speed and hers was slowly ebbing into the sea. I think it was God's plan that we came together at this time. To carry each other's burden. To remind ourselves of what we had been and would someday become.

Floods are painful, but they are necessary. They keep us clear and strong. They move our lives onto new paths.
