A 66-year-old mystery solved.

In 1960, on the quiet, car-free streets of Mackinac Island, a 49-year-old woman named Frances Lacey was brutally murdered - and the case went cold. Rumors spread, suspects came and went, and the truth disappeared into history... until now.

This book is a true-crime retelling of that long-forgotten murder, tracing the frantic investigation, the missed clues, and the lives forever changed by a crime no one could explain. Sixty-six years later, I revisited the evidence, uncovered overlooked details, and followed the trail where it finally led.

For the first time, I can answer the question that haunted Mackinac Island for generations: who did it.

From a Bancroft Prize-winning historian, a revelatory new account of slavery, uncovering a surprising web of relationships between Black and white people that ranges far beyond the familiar template of "master-slave" dynamics

A white man hosts a wedding party for his Black servant and finds himself charged with a criminal offense; an overseer ends up dead after getting drunk with a slave; two men, one poor and white and the other enslaved, team up to plot a murder.

A Terrible Intimacy recounts six criminal cases in one Virginia county in the years preceding the Civil War. Witnesses of both races describe a startling variety of encounters between white and Black that reconfigures the binary terrain of "master-slave" relations.

Contrary to our common assumption, fully half the enslaved people in the South lived not on sprawling plantations but on small properties. Cruelty was baked into the system, yet in households of five, ten, fifteen, or twenty people, exploiters and exploited knew each other well, sharing religious worship, folkways, and complex domestic dynamics. Slaves, slave owners, overseers, and poor whites drank, played, slept, and even committed crimes together. Yet whippings happened often, enslaved families were split up, and in 1861, most white men in Prince Edward County were ready to fight to defend their right to own other human beings.

These webs of interaction make clear that white Americans recognized the humanity of their Black neighbors, even as they remained committed to a system that abused and sometimes terrorized them. Offering striking new insights into the true complexity of life in the old South, A Terrible Intimacy expands our understanding of this darkest of histories.

Retiring from the Boston Blues wasn't part of the game plan. But after ending last season as a newly single dad, it felt like the only move Dex Larsen had left.

Joining the coaching staff came with an unexpected perk: bringing his son, Miles, along to practices, games, and press events. It wasn't perfect, but with no support system beyond his team, Dex needed someone who could bring order to the chaos- a nanny and homeschool teacher who could actually keep up.

On paper, Lucie Anderson was exactly what Dex was looking for. She was overqualified, comfortable with the demands of a pro baseball schedule, and in need of a job. The catch? She's the sister of one of his players... and the same woman who caught his attention in a coffee shop just days ago.

Lucie's looking for a fresh start, and this job offered exactly that. Being a part of Dex's team isn't exactly what she expected but baseball has always been a team sport for a reason.

Lucie's the teammate Dex wants but isn't entirely convinced he deserves. As the season heats up, so does everything between them. Hiring Lucie should have taken the idea of her off the table, but her light is becoming too hard to ignore.

The Miracle Hour is a powerful, practical blueprint for entrepreneurs who want to grow a profitable business without sacrificing their life in the process. Based on the daily system that helped Kelly Roach transition from overwhelmed corporate executive to eight-figure CEO, this book reveals how one focused, intentional hour a day can become your bridge to freedom.

Years before building a global consulting company and portfolio of businesses, Kelly was sitting in her corporate office, squeezing moments between meetings, phone calls, and traffic lights to work on her dream. After identifying the highest-impact activities that would move her business forward, no matter how limited her time, the simple discipline now known as "The Miracle hour" transformed her side hustle into a seven-figure company while still working full-time in corporate, and ultimately an eight-figure empire.

In a world that glorifies burnout and 60-80 hour workweeks, The Miracle Hour challenges the myth that success is built on exhaustion. Instead, Kelly demonstrates that growth is not about the quantity of hours worked, but the quality, intention, and consistency of how those hours are invested.

This book delivers an A-to-Z playbook for identifying the right activities, implementing them within a structured daily framework, and building momentum that compounds over time. Readers will learn how to eliminate distraction, focus on revenue-driving actions, and create sustainable success while protecting their energy, time, and priorities.

Whether you are launching your first venture, scaling an existing company, or seeking a smarter path to wealth creation, The Miracle Hour provides the step-by-step system to help you build a thriving business (and a life you love) in just one hour a day.

A transformative exploration of patient care that emphasizes empathy, communication, and the emotional journey of both patients and clinicians, urging healthcare professionals to prioritize human connection over clinical labels for better outcomes. In The Other Side of the Bed, Dr. Stella Awua-Larbi, a practicing physician, shares poignant personal encounters with patients that transcend the confines of medical charts. This book invites healthcare providers to pause and truly see their patients, moving beyond labels like noncompliance to foster deeper connections. By emphasizing the importance of presence and empathy, Dr. Awua-Larbi illustrates how these elements can bridge communication gaps, enhancing the clinician-patient relationship and satisfaction for both parties. The narrative highlights the privilege of witnessing patients' journeys through aging, loss of independence, and end-of-life transitions. It poses a thought-provoking question: what if the most profound healing begins not with prescriptions, but with attentive listening? Through powerful, true-to-life stories, the book reveals often-overlooked truths in medicine, such as the significance of silence as communication and the transformative nature of suffering. Spanning two reflective volumes, The Other Side of the Bed delves into themes of noncompliance, caregiver fears, and the emotional labor shared by patients and clinicians alike. With wisdom and grace, Dr. Awua-Larbi encourages readers to cross to the other side of the bed, where authentic healing begins. This compelling call to action resonates with healthcare professionals, caregivers, and anyone seeking meaning in suffering, urging them to listen more deeply, care more intentionally, and lead with heart.

In a world where gods and monsters walk hidden among us, falling for the wrong guy might do more than break her heart-it might awaken a war.

College freshman Alysander Smith has never fit in her small beach town of glossy smiles and airbrushed perfection. All she wants is to escape and prove she's more than just the punchline everyone laughs at. The only bright spot? Hayden Vassilios, her gorgeous childhood best friend turned campus football god-and the guy she's been secretly in love with for years. But when she uncovers a dark family secret about her long-lost, deadbeat father, everything changes.

Alysander starts to wonder if her mother's crazed whispers about ancient mythological bloodlines and a secret Underworld might be less delusion and more danger. Something old and powerful is awakening, and Hayden is at the center of it all. When the truth shatters everything she thought she knew, Alysander will have to choose: walk away-or step into the shadows and fight for a love that was never hers to keep.

"One life I've lived was liminal - I was not what I had been, but I had yet to become what I will be."

In her memoir Crowded Tables and Bonus Tracks, Ashley McLain moves from an adopted child in 1970s Dallas to a pioneering environmental consultant who cofounded and sold a thriving company. At 53, she found the courage to search for her biological family, confronting questions of identity, belonging, and what it means to define "enough."

Blending vivid storytelling with reflections on leadership, legacy, and cultural expectations, McLain celebrates the people who shaped her, the resilience forged through loss and reinvention, and the freedom in letting go.

Crowded Tables and Bonus Tracks speaks to anyone ready to honor the past while daring to write the next chapter.

A neurodivergent-friendly and holistic guide to identifying, recovering, and growing from the stress and burnout cycle

Burnout is a fact of life for most working adults, but many people lack the tools they need to truly recover from it. Even those of us who have tried therapy or self-help guides in the past may continue to cycle in and out of burnout for years, unable to find something that really works.

Burnout Recovery offers a holistic and neurodivergent-friendly approach to burnout. In this practical self-help guide, Alicia King Anderson argues that for many of us, burnout is not just a symptom of a stressful workplace. When reducing our workload slightly or taking a vacation doesn't seem to help, we need to consider the entire network of intersecting stresses in our life: physical, psychological, sensory, social, environmental, and political.

Taking the metaphor of "burnout" literally, Anderson skillfully maps the stages of wildfire burns to the psychological experience of burnout. Drawing from her training in ecopsychology and mythology, she finds profound lessons in the natural cycle of wildfire to help us explore our own potential for healing and growth after a "burn" period. This unique book:

• goes beyond 'work stress' to address all kinds of burnout, including autistic and ADHD burnout, creative burnout, and professional burnout;
  
• introduces grief work as an essential part of burnout recovery, to let go of idealized and unsustainable versions of yourself; and
  
• provides step-by-step guidance to identify where you are in the burnout cycle--and make a plan ahead of time for the next stages ahead.
  

Each chapter includes a variety of practical tools, including self-discovery exercises, activities, rituals, and journal prompts. For those tired of one-size-fits-all burnout advice, Anderson's guidance will help you identify your unique burnout cycle, helping you get beyond short-term recovery and toward a more sustainable, nourishing, and meaningful life.

When a photo taken of the two of them after a game sparks dating rumors, Maya proposes they lean into it and see how far they can take their inside joke. The arrangement is meant to be easy and no strings attached but secretly, Maya hopes that getting close to Theo means she can get over her crush on her. And Theo hopes that by getting close to Maya, she can win Maya over and make her consider turning their fake fling into something real.

Book One in The Other Side Series

Grief opens the door. But something else walks through.

Kate Winslow had everything: a future, a fiancé, a life full of quiet, simple plans. Then one rainy night, a car crash takes it all. When she wakes in a hospital room, battered and alone, she's told Everett Aucoin is gone. Vanished without a trace. No body. No explanation. Just footprints that lead into the woods-and disappear.

The police rule it a disappearance. The coroner declares him legally dead. But Kate knows something isn't right. Because that night, just before the crash, she saw something running. Something human. Something not.

Then the voices start.

Her phone rings at 3:12 a.m. - but no one speaks. Her sketchbook fills with drawings she doesn't remember making. A little girl with hollow eyes appears beside her bed, then vanishes without a sound. Mirrors don't reflect quite right. And sometimes, when she's alone... she isn't.

Just as she starts to question her sanity, Kate receives word that Everett secretly purchased a remote farmhouse under her name. With nowhere else to go, she drives there - deep into the forest, far from town, surrounded by lake, field, and silence.

But the house remembers.

It mourns. It dreams. And buried deep within its walls is a secret that's been waiting over forty years to be uncovered. A child went missing here in 1982. A child no one talks about. A child whose voice whispers through vents and static and shattered glass.

As Kate investigates Everett's disappearance, she's pulled deeper into a mystery that spans decades, linking her life to a girl named Lilah Carson... and to something that doesn't want to stay on the other side anymore.

Some spirits want peace. Others want revenge. And some never died at all.

With each step, Kate discovers that Everett didn't just vanish-he crossed over. And now, the veil between life and death is thinning. The Other Side is bleeding through.

And it's not alone.
