What If I Stay
She built walls around her heart-until he came home to tear them down.
Cami Jackson has her life locked down tight. As Nashville's most ruthless property developer, she's made a fortune turning sentiment into profit and never looking back. But when a mysterious email about the Hearts Bend Inn-the place where her mother died fifteen years ago-lands in her inbox, everything she's buried threatens to surface.
Some places hold more than memories. They hold the keys to who you're meant to become.
Enter Ben Carter, the boy who gave her first kiss, now a devastatingly handsome hotel executive with his own empire to build. He's inherited his grandparents' beloved inn, but his future lies halfway around the world in Sydney. When Cami arrives with a briefcase full of cash and a heart full of unresolved pain, their reunion ignites a fire that could either heal old wounds or burn down everything they've built.
In Hearts Bend, Tennessee, some inheritances are worth more than money...
As Cami fights to honor her mother's memory and Ben struggles between duty and desire, they must navigate family secrets, corporate betrayal, and a love that refuses to stay buried. When her father's shocking revelation threatens to destroy the inn forever, Cami faces an impossible choice: protect the empire she's spent her life building or risk everything for the one place-and one man-that feels like home.
Will love be enough to bridge fifteen years of silence?

Anyone But You
She thought she'd left her small-town past behind-until love brought her home.
Chloe LaRue doesn't do second chances. As a celebrated pastry chef in Paris, she built a beautiful life with her adventurous husband Jean-Marc-until a tragic skiing accident shattered everything. Only ten months after losing the love of her life, she's forced to return to sleepy Hearts Bend, Tennessee, to care for her cancer-stricken mother.
But some people are worth coming home for.
Enter Sam Hardy-the NFL superstar quarterback who crushed her teenage dreams and is now her boss at Haven's Bakery. Once the golden boy who broke her fifteen-year-old heart, he's fighting his own demons: a playboy reputation he's desperate to shed and a bitter feud with his father that's poisoned his soul. When Chloe walks back into his life-still beautiful, still wounded, still the only woman who ever saw the real him-everything changes.
In Hearts Bend, Tennessee, some hearts get a second chance at forever...
As Chloe throws herself into saving the beloved local bakery from corporate takeover, and Sam fights to prove he's more than his past mistakes, they discover that some loves are worth waiting fifteen years for.

Rebels in the Wild
Rebels in the Wild: The Equality Colony and the Taming of American Capitalism tells the forgotten but still relevant story of the rise and fall of a radical experiment in socialism in the Pacific Northwest at the turn of the 20th century. Drawing on letters, diaries, memoirs, newspaper reports, and court records, this book traces not just the life of the Equality colony in Skagit County, Washington, but also the lives of the agitators, rabble rousers, and ordinary men and women who created it. They were a quarrelsome bunch who believed capitalism was ripe for ruin but could agreed on little else. At its core, this story reflects the timeless struggle to defend human dignity and the endless and essential search for a better way to organize society. The Equality colony failed, but in ways long lost in the American memory, the impulses that created it foreshadowed the birth of a social welfare state, the rejection of unconstrained capitalism, and a consensus on empowering government to promote the common good.

Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age: Coping with Digital Distraction and Sensory Overload
An award-winning neurologist on the Stone-Age roots of our screen addictions, and what to do about them. The human brain hasn't changed much since the Stone Age, let alone in the mere thirty years of the Screen Age. That's why, according to neurologist Richard Cytowic--who, Oliver Sacks observed, "changed the way we think of the human brain"--our brains are so poorly equipped to resist the incursions of Big Tech: They are programmed for the wildly different needs of a prehistoric world. In Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age, Cytowic explains exactly how this programming works--from the brain's point of view. What he reveals in this book shows why we are easily addicted to screen devices; why young, developing brains are particularly vulnerable; why we need silence; and what we can do to push back. In the engaging storytelling style of his popular TED Talk, Cytowic draws an easily comprehensible picture of the Stone Age brain's workings--the function of neurotransmitters like dopamine in basic instincts for survival such as desire and reward; the role of comparison in emotion, and emotion in competition; and, most significantly, the orienting reflex, one of the unconscious circuits that automatically focus, shift, and sustain attention. Given this picture, the nature of our susceptibility to digital devices becomes clear, along with the possibility of how to break their spell. Full of practical actions that we can start taking right away, Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age offers compelling evidence that we can change the way we use technology, resist its addictive power over us, and take back the control we have lost. -
Cain's Jawbone: The World's Most Difficult Puzzle Mystery
Cain's Jawbone is not a novel you read. It is a puzzle you confront.
Originally published in 1934, this legendary literary challenge was devised by Edward Powys Mathers, writing as Torquemada. The book consists of one hundred pages printed entirely out of order. The reader's task is to determine the correct sequence, identify six murders, and name their perpetrators.
The number of possible page arrangements exceeds 9.3 × 10¹⁵⁷. There is exactly one correct solution.
For decades, Cain's Jawbone circulated quietly among puzzle enthusiasts, earning a reputation as one of the most difficult murder mysteries ever written. Fewer than a handful of people are known to have solved it during its original contest period.
This newly designed edition respects the integrity of the original text while addressing the practical realities of solving the puzzle. The complete text appears twice. One version offers a faithful reading experience. The second is a working edition, with increased spacing for annotation, structured reference tools, and a layout designed to support careful comparison and reordering.
No hints are provided. No answers are revealed. The puzzle has not been altered, simplified, or reinterpreted.
This edition exists for readers who want to engage seriously with the challenge and for those curious enough to try.
Solve it, and the victory is entirely your own.

You are called to be a portrait of God's Grace!
The redeemed are given a unique and glorious gift at salvation. God gives us a blank canvas purchased and cleansed by Christ. The Father longs to paint a portrait of His grace on the canvas of our lives. The palette is adorned with the unique colors of our journey with Jesus.
