Diederik van Hoogstraten struggled with a pack-a-day habit. His expanding waistline and poor health depressed him. Then, this Dutch writer living in New York returned to an old childhood love: running. He found a way to quit smoking, and as he hit the streets he made friends and found himself again. There's nothing miraculous about this turnaround of body and mind. It took work and commitment. But gradually, his life changed as he embraced the joy of movement -- and a three-hour marathon. The author travels all over the United States, lacing up wherever he finds himself. In the process he has written a compelling ode to both running and the country he loves.

Throat of the Night (Angelaeon Circle) (Volume 3)

A castle locked in time, before the Revolution turned France to a bloodbath . . . A young girl, married off to a ducal collector of exotic birds . . . A boy enslaved, torn from his homeland, finding another path to power . . . A child, bound to break her family’s ancient curse . . . . The lady’s maid Berthe sees it all with her sharp eyes . . . and silently keeps her own secret. Eighteenth-century France is the setting—a time and place where age-old superstitions shadow an age of enlightenment, where the minuet of aristocratic life is deaf to the approaching drumbeats of revolution, where elegance masks depravity and licentiousness makes a mockery of love. Against this background, Berthe Duvet, maid to Adele du Fourchet, later mme la duchesse de Malvoeux, tells her tale of a doomed society and of a family seeking to break a terrible curse. Vivid in its re-creation of a vanished age and delightfully iconoclastic in its view of women and history, The Porcelain Dove is a triumph of the imagination.

What does happily ever after look like when your love story begins with divorce? In this one-of-a-kind joint memoir, Jonathan Weiler and Anne Menkens tell the story of how their relationship continued to evolve and how they co-parented their daughter once they decided their marriage was no longer working. With honesty and humor, Jonathan and Anne explain how they worked through the struggles that accompany a failed romance in order to be the kinds of parents, separately and together, that they knew their daughter needed. While divorce is a painful experience for many, the authors suggest that divorced parents are not fated to an unhappy, conflict-ridden existence. Instead, they can become the people and parents they want to be and find their best selves, even as the relationship that was supposed to define who they are is no more. Divorce: A Love Story, combines an in-depth account of the dynamics of Jonathan and Anne's relationship, the therapy process that led them to break up and the partnership they formed after their marriage ended. Their story shows that divorce need not prevent loving, committed parents from working together to make sure their children receive the love, support and positive family environment every child needs. Excerpted in The Huffington Post on 10/6/15 as "When I Attended My Former Wife's Wedding" "On a sunny June day in 2009, I attended the wedding of my former wife, Anne. The small church included many people who had been at our own wedding 14 years earlier, including my mother, who sat beside me. One person who had not been in attendance at our own wedding day was our daughter, Lillian, born two years after we wed. My heart swelled with pride as she delivered a reading from Margery Williams' book The Velveteen Rabbit to celebrate her mother's re-marriage. Anne and I have often laughed about the readings we chose for our own wedding, which all, somehow, had to do with not getting too close."

When Elaine Meryl Brown, Marsha Haygood, and Rhonda Joy McLean wrote THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF SUCCESS they had hoped it would touch and transform the lives of women who wanted to get ahead in their careers, change careers, find a new job, or start a new business. Not only did THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF SUCCESS help numerous women AND men get promoted, navigate challenging situations, cultivate skills and land new positions, it was a national bestseller, an NAACP Literary Award nominee, and the topic of talk on traditional and social media that moved the authors into the national spotlight. Readers, listeners and followers said they wanted to delve even deeper and reflect on their leadership potential, and thus, THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF SUCCESS WORKBOOK was born. Each chapter in the WORKBOOK correlates to a chapter in THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF SUCCESS and contains a number of questions and quizzes to help you tailor each lesson to your individual needs. Within the chapter, the Group Discussion section addresses the issues to a larger group and the Senior Executive sections add value to your journey--whether you are at the highest rung of leadership or if you are just starting out and want to get a glimpse into your future. THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF SUCCESS became known as the "mentor in your pocket", and this WORKBOOK will be your "personal call-to-action plan."
