For years, Emma Carey was a regular young adult who would wake up and go about their day on autopilot, someone who would look at a sunset and feel unaffected, someone who was living, but not really alive. That is, until something happened that enabled her to really see life for the gift it is. Emma was in a skydiving accident that made her a paraplegic. This book is not just about Emma's fall from the sky and how she learned to walk without ever regaining feeling in her legs but also about the beliefs and ideas that helped her survive.

Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch - first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her 23rd birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival.

But the consequences of her mother's lifestyle turned out to be worse than Joanne could ever have imagined. She already knew about the baby buried in a shallow makeshift grave next to the family plot. But when Joanne came across a red plastic bin in her mother's wardrobe in 2009, she realised that the family home held an even more sinister secret.

Growing up in the 1960s in the suburbs of Chicago, Meg Kissinger’s family seemed to live a charmed life. With eight kids and two loving parents, the Kissingers radiated a warm, boisterous energy. Whether they were spending summer days on the shores of Lake Michigan, barreling down the ski slopes, or navigating the trials of their Catholic school, the Kissingers always knew how to live large and play hard. But behind closed doors, a harsher reality was unfolding.

Resumen del Editor
Healing the scars of the Bali Bombings–An inspirational story of an Australian mother's journey back from hell and the enduring love for her children that gave her the will to wage her own war on terrorism.
On Saturday 12th October 2002, Australian nurses, Therese Fox and Bronwyn Cartwright's idyllic holiday descended into their worst nightmare when they unwittingly found themselves in the midst of a callously orchestrated terrorist attack on two popular Balinese tourist nightspots which claimed the lives of 202 innocent holiday-makers and maimed and injured hundreds more.
Tragically, while Bronwyn, 28, perished in the deadly bomb blast which ripped through Paddy's Irish Bar in the party precinct of Kuta, her good friend Therese, 29, crawled out of the carnage with such horrific burns that doctors believed she would not survive the flight home, and she was left on the tarmac at Denpasar Airport to die.
Fortunately, the single mum's anguished pleas to be reunited with her children prompted a last-minute change of heart and on the urgings of a Balinese nurse, she was airlifted onto the last plane back to Darwin.
Back in Australia she was resuscitated and flown to Sydney's Concord Hospital where burns specialists performed emergency surgery to remove debris and shrapnel from third degree burns covering 90 per cent of her body.
Therese spent the next twelve months defying such odds that hospital staff nicknamed her ‘The Miracle of Bali.'
Now, twenty years after the Al-Qaeda-linked attacks, award-winning journalist and author, Megan Norris, follows the agonising road back to recovery and looks beyond the suffering and life-saving surgeries at the extraordinary courage of an ordinary suburban Aussie mum whose love for her kids has helped heal her scars and given her back her life.

The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people. In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families.

Born in China’s northwestern province, Sayragul Sauytbay trained as a doctor before being appointed a senior civil servant. But her life was upended when the Chinese authorities incarcerated her. Her crime? Being Kazakh, one of China’s ethnic minorities. The northwestern province borders the largest number of foreign nations and is the point in China that is the closest to Europe. In recent years, it has become home to more than 1,200 penal camps - modern-day gulags that are estimated to house three million members of the Kazakh and Uyghur minorities.

The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people. In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families.

Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was on DACA when she decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name. It was right after the election of 2016, the day she realized the story she'd tried to steer clear of was the only one she wanted to tell. So she wrote her immigration lawyer's phone number on her hand in Sharpie and embarked on a trip across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants—and to find the hidden key to her own.
