Last night I lay awake almost until five-thirty, with no more than a few winks of sleep. My hip around the spot where the needle was injected really hurt. And I could not begin to lie on it. And in the morning, I almost killed myself. But I did see the sunrise, through the bedroom window, and it was beautiful . . . A teenager with a passion for writing begins a journal in his western farming community, on a stage set for the drama of World War II. He records a unique time in his life, when his dreams of independence and romance are born, nurtured by hope. But a mysterious illness threatens his life and inflicts excruciating pain. Not knowing what's wrong, he remains outwardly stoical, but reveals his suffering and fear in his eloquent journal entries. With deep appreciation for the simplest pleasures in life—going for a walk, attending a school dance—he waits for the day when doctors will learn what's wrong with him and how his illness can be treated. Ralph Dean Rytting was diagnosed with hemophilia in 1943 at age sixteen. With the limited treatment available at that time, he endured debilitating bleeds. Yet he never let the limitations imposed by hemophilia crush his desire to be educated, work, and raise a family. Faithfully recording his thoughts and feelings, Ralph reveals how he overcame life's unpredictable challenges with faith, humor, and irrepressible optimism. Ralph's resolute spirit has been immortalized in Legacy: The Hemophilia of Yesterday, a collection of his journal entries from the war years, possibly the first diaries about hemophilia ever published.

Community & Culture

We've watched interesting plural marriages in TV documentaries, read about them in books, and even seen them featured in an HBO series. We've heard daunting stories about young women forced into marrying older men and the admirable journey to escape their way out of the polygamous life they were taught they belonged.

Today, the Mormon and polygamous culture has shown itself into the limelight more than ever before. This series of seventeen stories focuses on the Barlow family, a family that epitomized the Mormon, polygamous lifestyle. It was led by Albert Barlow, a father of thirty-four children and a husband to three women for over fifty years. The seventeen living daughters of Albert's family here to tell their story. They have seen it all, they have experienced it all. Here we can observe how one lifestyle can branch out to seventeen different perspectives, seventeen different dreams, and seventeen different outcomes.

Best-selling LDS author Joni Hilton brings us another heart-warming novel, this time about Jana and Ethan Waterson, their family, and the spookiest house in town. Ethan is actually more terrified of his calling as bishop than of the "Witch House." He impulsively takes on the elderly residents and their dark mansion as a ward project. Jana holds guilt in her heart for an earlier decision, and they both have their hands full with three challenging children. There's life-and-death drama, spiritual anguish, arcs of growth, and plenty of humor as well, in an inspiring story unlike any you've read before.

Genre Fiction

Not one to back away from a challenge, veteran educator Reed Thomas accepted an almost impossible task: figure out how to rally a group of unmotivated, struggling students and transform them into kids who are involved, interested in school, and—maybe most difficult of all—so confident in themselves that they would leave, diploma in hand, and make a success of their lives. And that's exactly what happened.
Some called it a miracle, as one student after another triumphed over insurmountable odds, and Reed was hailed for his unflinching faith in them, though in his own eyes, the students were the heroes.
His true story teaches principles and solutions anyone can apply in every walk of life. You'll laugh, feel inspired, and even shed a tear or two as you cheer for the students who turned their lives around. You'll come to honor the man who encouraged them, and you'll feel empowered to make your own difference in the world.

Human Connection: How the "L" Do We Do That?

Sixth U.S. president John Quincy Adams, a man who knew a lot about effective leadership, maintained that the most successful people were those whose actions inspired others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more. These people were the ones who left the sidelines, entered the fray, and threw themselves into life. They were the ones who forged a nation and achieved the impossible. They were the ones who truly connected to life, to others, and to themselves. Today, the world needs human connection more than ever. It needs people who strive for deeper relationships, not just surface recognition, who come at life with the enthusiasm, energy, and excitement that bind people together. These people have a powerful impact on all around them. Leadership guru Art Coombs combines fresh perspectives, profound experience, engaging information, and unforgettable stories into a simple formula that will result in rich connections as you live, laugh, learn, love, and lead those who mean the most to you. Begin today to live the authentic, abundant life you were meant to as you build and shape the connections that change everything.
