AMID THE DANCE OF FIREFLIES by Julia Nally-Greiner is a memoir of the author's reflections on growing up as the youngest of eleven children in a loving Irish-German Catholic family in small town Maumee, Ohio, along the Maumee River. She weaves the story of her youth through sunshine and shadow as her mother and several siblings deal with the reality of mental illness. This is a story to help all of us better understand this "hidden disease" and to shine a light on its dark side. 
Initially, the sole purpose of Julia’s writing this book was merely an attempt to heal. However, after attending her first walk for mental health and suicide awareness not long after her brother’s death, she quickly came to realize neither she nor her family held ownership to the journey of this pain. It was not hers alone, nor was it for her family to keep hidden. 
Julia is a sister, wife, mother, nurse, and strong advocate of mental health awareness. The proceeds from her book will go to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).

LifeForce by Chiropractor Jeffrey S. McCombs outlines a simple and effective approach to preventing and overcoming disease, illness, and other health concerns that has been used by many of the author's patients. The LifeForce Plan is a potent tool for detoxifying the body, reestablishing the normal flora of the tissues, and reawakening the body's innate ability to regulate, balance, and protect itself. It teaches us how to activate the endless life-force potential that resides in every cell of our bodies. The seemingly miraculous results are achieved through a time-proven approach to reversing the ravaging effects that antibiotics have had on our bodies. Though antibiotics are useful, it is their worldwide overuse, misuse, and general application that have produced a devastating imbalance. The LifeForce Plan reverses that imbalance and restores the regenerative, life-enhancing cycle of the body, as the dominant cycle over the degenerative, aging cycle. The Plan succeeds where other anti-Candida diets have continuously failed, due to key fundamental insights, and it also provides a way to balance the effects of antibiotics when their judicious use is necessary. This is not intended to be a typical diet book. It offers a way to achieve better biofeedback from the body that will enable you to make dietary choices that will work for you. The Plan is a bridge back to an optimal state of health for our bodies.

RADIANT, ABUNDANT HEALTH IN MIDLIFE AND BEYOND 
The author of The Midlife Bible—A Woman’s Survival Guide, Michael P. Goodman, M.D., is a medical communicator who practices patient-oriented health care. Most importantly, Dr. Goodman specializes in listening to women. The Midlife Bible is the culmination of his 33 years of experience in the practice of obstetrics, gynecology, and peri-menopausal medicine. It is filled with insight, wisdom, and practical advice. This survival guide incorporates the author’s knowledge of both "Western Medicine" and alternative approaches and reflects his deep respect for the individual’s intelligence, autonomy, and right to design her own therapy, empowered by the knowledge of all available options. 
The Midlife Bible is a complete guide to the conditions common to women in midlife—both peri-menopausal and menopausal—including: PMS, bleeding problems, bone density, pelvic support issues, fatigue syndromes, irritable bowel, insomnia, psychological "blahs," and the dilemma of childlessness at midlife. It includes honest information about breast cancer and an open discussion about sexuality. The Midlife Bible acknowledges the many different situations of midlife and acts as a guide for individualized decision- making. Dr. Goodman explains and offers relief from the "peri-menopausal crazies" and, most importantly, simplifies the hormone replacement therapy decision with a full discussion of prescription hormones, bioidenticals and compounded preparations, and non-hormonal alternatives. 
Women facing the challenges of midlife, or husbands and family members wishing to be supportive, will find The Midlife Bible an invaluable, accessible little gem—truly a complete "survival guide."

This is an UPDATED EDITION 2019. (First paperback edition was in 2006/ebook in 2011.) OUT OF THE COCOON is a heart-wrenching, yet inspirational tale about the author's escape from a religious cult after enduring decades of dysfunction. Take the incredible journey with her as she survives stifling oppression as a child, physical and emotional abuse as a teenager, and the ultimate tragedy: the loss of her family once she becomes an adult. See how, like a butterfly, she changes the world within her, as her external world becomes increasingly unyielding. This book is a "must read" for anyone who has experienced abuse, alcoholism, single parenthood, serious depression, or a parent's rejection. Discover more about your own life through Brenda Lee's introspective, yet humorous flight from insanity. Learn how you, too, can emerge OUT OF THE COCOON to create a future brimming with unconditional love and lasting happiness.“I have to say that it was quite chilling reading Brenda's account of her childhood... because it could have been me writing the same thing. Many people are unaware of what Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY teach and how they enslave you once you are baptized, usually without complete information about this cult. Both my husband and myself and our two sons were able to break free from this cult... but even after 5 years of freedom, we are still feeling the effects of shunning and psychological damage. I hope that by reading this well-written account by Brenda, that those who may be contemplating joining Jehovah's Witnesses as a baptized member will realize how deceptive and cruel this religion is. I applaud the author for coming forth and speaking for all of us who have been devastated by the unloving and unchristian actions of Jehovah's Witnesses!” — Catherine Laszewski“OUT OF THE COCOON is a powerful and touching account of one young woman's journey to freedom from repression and religious intolerance. I picked it up one evening and couldn't stop reading until I was finished late that night. It will touch you on the deeper levels of spiritual freedom and growth.” — Steve Chandler, Author of REINVENTING YOURSELF"OUT OF THE COCOON is a story about the damage a cult can do to a loving family and shows the long-lasting rippled effect that can affect a child later in life. Courage to go against the current comes from deep inside a person when it would be much easier to go with the flow. Brenda Lee is one of those who has shown such courage. Like the young man David, who picked up three stones and slung them at the giant, Goliath, Brenda Lee chose to pick up her pen to shatter the Watchtower's image, just as it tried to shatter hers. I applaud her courage, and her strength to discover the person she truly is — against all odds." — Roy Milton, Author of TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCESABOUT THE AUTHOR: Brenda Lee was born on a rural farm in Pennsylvania in 1962 and moved to Colorado in 1980. Early on, she began her love of writing through journaling and as the editor of her high school’s creative writing project entitled, “Special Feelings.” She graduated from college with honors in Denver, CO.Brenda writes, produces, and edits an internationally renowned newsletter that helps former cult members take flight and is involved in counter-cult work through her seminars entitled, “Understanding Cults: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Family.” Since her memoir OUT OF THE COCOON was first published in 2006, she has appeared on many radio programs around the world, has delivered countless speeches, and has participated in numerous book signings. She made an appearance on a nationally televised broadcast of “The Secret Lives of Women” in September 2009.
