A dedicated painter, Miss Sophia Hastings is far more concerned with finding the right slant of light than in finding Mr. Right.

Christians affirm that everything exists because of God—from subatomic quarks to black holes. Science often claims to explain nature without including God at all. And thinking Christians often feel forced to choose between the two. But the good news is that we don't have to make a choice. Science does not overthrow the Bible.

Every famous love song has been written by an alpha for an omega. As a beta, I've never expected to be anyone's muse. I'm happy to stick in the background—and with a past like mine, it's simply safer avoiding the spotlight. That changes the day I learn my long-lost brother is Stix Rain, the drummer for one of the biggest rock bands in the world. We lost touch when we went into foster care. He ran away, I stayed, and I still carry the scars from growing up alone. I have so many questions for him—until I discover he died three months ago.

Stop Trying to "Just Breathe." Your Nervous System Needs a Different Map. Traditional mindfulness was designed for neurotypical brains. This guide was designed for you. If you are an autistic adult, you know the cycle all too well: the creeping tension of sensory buildup, the frantic blur of a meltdown, or the heavy, suffocating "stone-man" feeling of a total shutdown. You’ve likely been told to "meditate" or "calm down," only to find that focusing on your breath makes you more anxious, not less. You aren't failing at mindfulness. You’re simply using a tool that wasn't built for your ...

Contre toute attente, Katniss a survécu une seconde fois aux Hunger Games. Mais le Capitole crie vengeance.

It's 1989, and in a small town on the Austria-Hungary border, nobody talks about the war; the older residents pretend not to remember, and the younger ones are too busy making plans to leave.

But as thousands of East German refugees mass at the border, it seems that the past is knocking on Darkenbloom's door. Still, though, nobody talks about the war. Until a mysterious visitor shows up asking questions.
