Once a trained athlete in peak condition, Joanne Moody suffered a postpregnancy injury that sidelined her for the next 14 years. Not one to give up easily, Moody fought to find an answer to her pain year after year. Countless doctors attempted to treat her until, finally, one recommended a surgeon in France. Joanne and her sisters made the trek only to stare death in the face again. At the moment of greatest pain, God reached down and gave her a promise.

It’s easy to feel overburdened by life’s demands. Looking out into the world as well as under the roof of our home may cause us to question, “How did we get here? And how will we get through?” Jillana Goble has been there. With honesty, faith, and a dose of humor, her debut memoir, A Love-Stretched Life, chronicles what she's continually learning on the suspension bridge between reality and hope. A mom via foster care, birth, and adoption—in that order—for nearly two decades, Jillana has experienced life’s curveballs.

Shortly after 9 PM on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Many hours later, she is found lying in the mud, her body thrashing violently.
I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery that involved a family, a hospital, a city - in fact an entire nation - of supporters.

Resumen del Editor
A short memoir packed with firsthand experience about a topic rarely discussed from the survivor's perspective, Beauty for Ashes: Memoir of a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor shares my horrors and triumphs after sustaining a traumatic brain injury from a motor vehicle accident during the most promising part of my life. While not entirely in chronological order, due to memory impairment, I decided to categorize the major areas affected in my life by this tragedy. My goal is to support other trauma survivors, and those close to them, by discussing the ugly truths one can face with an injury that cannot be seen, yet is often misunderstood and underestimated.
As a reflection of my personality, this piece has humor and sincerity toward the many roads that lead me to where I currently am in my recovery, from loss of cognitive skills, friendships, and my independence, to the climax of an expected engagement to my boyfriend that didn't happen. As the negative medical reports, discouragement, and isolation drained the color from my life's portrait, my fight to believe the God I grew to know as a compassionate one became the foundation for my triumph and recovery.
Observing the lack of education and awareness within my native Caribbean community, I tear open the curtains of issues shunned and hidden at large - depression and anxiety - hurdles I silently struggled with as a result of shame. This leads the reader to prompt discussions, and hopefully develop compassion and understanding for those who feel the same as I did. I express the reality of life's frailty, the pressures that test and shake relationships across the board - how strong are the ones we believe to be the strongest?
Beauty for Ashes: Memoir of a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor is a gripping story about conquering the odds and finding solace after the storm.

At first, Ken Abraham wrote off his mother’s changes in behavior as quirks that just come with old age. There was memory loss, physical decline, hygiene issues, paranoia, and uncharacteristic attitudes. He soon realized that dementia had changed her life - and his family’s - forever. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.4 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease. That’s one in eight older Americans. More than likely, that figure includes someone you know and love.
