Collection: Adult

Cascading down the drain...on her fifty-fifth birthday, Shari Leigh Roberts passively watched as the water in her bathroom sink spiraled into oblivion-mirroring her fading will to live. After enduring decades of savage narcissistic abuse, in that moment, a divine voice pierced her darkness: "You

are meant to be and to do more."

With searing honesty and unexpected wit, Roberts reveals the invisible chains of psychological torment that nearly claimed her life. It wasn't until a

therapist's diagnosis shattered her perception that she recognized the true nature of her suffering-and began her extraordinary metamorphosis.

Transcending typical survivor narratives, Roberts discovers dormant psychic abilities awakening through her healing process. She illuminates the

path for you to identify trauma, release its grip, and unlock your own intuitive gifts. Through her work as a psychic medium, she now guides others

to access the same healing potential that transformed her life.

Broken to Enlightened charts a courageous path from darkness to light, demonstrating how trauma's ashes can birth both personal freedom and the magic.

From New York Times bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a spicy sports romance filled with late-night book club confessions, forbidden attraction, and one slow-burn love story that refuses to stay platonic.

They're just friends.

At least, that's what she thinks. Him? He has other plans.

Bennett Brinkman is San Francisco baseball's golden boy--focused, disciplined, and very bad at ignoring the one woman he shouldn't want. Falling for his sister's best friend was inevitable, even though she's always seen him as safe, familiar, and firmly off-limits.

Bower knows exactly why wanting Bennett is a terrible idea. She's fiercely loyal to her best friend and well aware that crossing this particular line could blow everything up. But when she moves into Bennett's apartment building, that "just friends" boundary begins to blur in the most tempting ways.

The banter comes fast.

The sparks come faster.

And pretending it's "no big deal" is getting ridiculous.

As feelings get messier and attraction turns undeniable, Bennett and Bower must decide if risking their family ties is worth chasing the love that's been in front of them all along.

CALM IN THE EYE OF THE STORMIn this world of death and decay, Sak has found his single ray of hope, his Caller Lima. As they venture through the corpse-ridden island of Ralta, Lima wants to make things explicitly clear--any acts they do together are for Lima's pleasure only. However, as they spend the night in an abandoned cabin, the two share a bath, and soon...a kiss. But they can't dwell on their complicated feelings for too long in this wasteland. When Hana, the first core user, brings them back to the academy, the lines between right and wrong, trust and manipulation all start to blur...

What is a keystone species-and how can one animal hold an entire world together?

Hi, my name is Ethan Solace-I'm an interdisciplinary psychologist and a dad-and this book was written to help curious young minds see nature in a whole new way: as a living web where everything is connected... and where a single "keystone" can keep the entire system standing.

In The Big Questions: What Is a Keystone Species?, readers (ages 5-12) explore the real, jaw-dropping truth about ecosystems, biodiversity, and the surprising animals that shape forests, rivers, oceans, and grasslands. From predators that change landscapes to tiny builders that create homes for hundreds of species, this is environmental science made cinematic, clear, and unforgettable.

Inside you'll discover:

• What a keystone species is (and why the "stone arch" idea makes it instantly click)

• How wolves can transform an ecosystem-right down to the shape of rivers

• Why beavers are nature's engineers, building wetlands that support countless animals

• How coral reefs act like living cities beneath the sea

• Why sea otters protect kelp forests (and what happens when they're gone)

• How elephants reshape habitats, create pathways, and even help other species survive

• The big question: Can humans choose to become a keystone species-for good?

Perfect for: parents, teachers, homeschooling, STEM learning, classroom discussions, nature lovers, animal fans, and kids who ask why (and don't stop).

If you're looking for an ecology for kids book that builds real understanding of ecosystems, food webs, conservation, and environmental science-this is the one that sticks.

What happens to the web of life when a keystone disappears... and what can we do before it's too late?

The Innerspace of Outerspace explores music as a form of magic - a portal that dissolves ordinary reality and opens onto myth, mystery, and transformation. Tracing a lineage from ancient incantations and shamanic chants to modern visionaries like Sun Ra, the book shows how sound has long served as both cosmic language and earthly call to action. Weaving together sixties counterculture, Earth-centered thinkers such as Rachel Carson and James Lovelock, Indigenous wisdom, and the ambient explorations of artists like Steven Halpern and Brian Eno, it presents music as both mirror and map. Ultimately, the book argues that music gives us space to dream-and that dreaming is a force for changing the world.

When a soldier named Tyran saves her life, they discover that the direction of their dreams and the echoes of their past have brought them together to forge a union powerful enough to destroy the cruel, immortal leader of Astaran: the Fallen Angel, Chemosh.

Will the Gods intervene in their plight to destroy this powerful tyrant?

Or watch helpless as Astaran and its human population suffer the horrors of a vengeful exile."

Perfect mothers. Perfect daughters. Perfect lies.

After her husband's death, Dahlia Kincaid and her 14-year-old daughter Mia move to the exclusive lakefront community of Blackthorn Shores, Michigan, hoping for a fresh start.

It feels like a miracle. Lakefront views. Immaculate homes. And a coveted spot in the elite circle of neighborhood mothers. Even Mia is welcomed by the popular girls. For the first time, Dahlia dares to believe they've finally found belonging.

Then one of the girls is found dead after a neighborhood slumber party.

The police suspect murder. All eyes turn to Mia. Blood stains her clothes, fresh scratches mark her arms, and her story keeps changing. Every lie Mia tells makes Dahlia wonder what else her daughter is hiding.

As rumors swirl and suspicion mounts, the mothers who once embraced Dahlia turn wary and watchful. Mia withdraws, shutting Dahlia out. Desperate to protect her, Dahlia begins her own hunt for the truth, digging into the secrets buried beneath the community's polished façade. But every answer she uncovers brings her closer to losing both her daughter and the life she's fought to build here.

One thing is certain: someone in Blackthorn Shores is a killer. But as Dahlia closes in on the truth, her worst fear isn't that the killer will escape-it's that she already knows who it is.

A sardonic chronicle of how conservatism turned into a racketeering enterprise - and why Donald Trump became the living emblem of the American right's moral decay.

The Longest Con tells the fascinating story of the partisan con artists who have corrupted conservative politics in our time, creating a toxic phenomenon that culminated in the election of Donald Trump, a bumptious fraud whose checkered career and tawdry retinue, including his presidential cabinet, have featured almost every variety of scam. But long before he appeared, Trump's path to power was blazed by the motley horde of swindlers and quacks who preceded him.

From the "professional anti-communists" (whose tactics even J. Edgar Hoover despised) to the "populist" grifters of the Tea Party movement and the religious charlatans of the "prosperity gospel" (who provided a pious front for Trump), the right-wing ripoff has remained remarkably consistent, even as personalities change and new technologies emerge: Stir up anger and resentment, demonize political opponents, promise vengeance, and collect donations from the gullible. It's a highly lucrative game that any unscrupulous charlatan can play, as many have - and they are named in these pages.

In an unsparing and often comic narrative, Joe Conason explores the right's long, steep descent into a movement whose principal aim is not to protect freedom or defend the Constitution, but merely to line the pockets of pretenders and blowhards whose malevolent tactics now endanger the nation.

States have tremendous power to protect their residents' health. In the absence of adequate federal safeguards against pollution and toxic chemicals, state policies are the strongest tools available to create safe, sustainable environments. The good news is, around the country, red states and blue states are taking up the charge.

In California, state agencies are partnering with disadvantaged communities to measure air quality, reduce pollution, and advance environmental justice. In Texas, a state law requires every school to cut down on the use of dangerous pesticides, helping to keep kids safe. In New York, a network of clinics trains medical professionals in occupational health and children's environmental health, ensuring that patients receive excellent care and specialists are ready to advocate for protective policies. The success of these programs is not haphazard; instead, effective approaches share key elements, including state-university-industry partnerships, collaboration across government agencies, and strong environmental health education.

In A Healthy Union, Susan Kaplan highlights examples of groundbreaking state environmental health policies, exploring what has worked, what needs improvement, and how other areas of the country can build on these advances. Further, she shows how public health advocates can push forward new protections, creating safer environments for the next generation. Ultimately, Kaplan argues, we need a coordinated federal and state response to environmental health threats. Until then, innovative policy solutions can go a long way to improve the nation's wellbeing, one state at a time.
