Overeating is not the problem. It is only a symptom of unresolved conflict and personal pain. Dr. Carole Disenhof, renowned Beverly Hills clinical psychologist, reveals the secrets of healing that pain, gleaned from her twenty-four-year career in treating emotional overeating. Step by step, Dr. Disenhof outlines the process by which she helps her patients understand the source of their emotional pain and repair whatever it is that causes them to anesthetize their feelings with food. Reading case histories and following the exercises in the book, such as exploring psychotherapy, will allow you to take a close look at the causes and symptoms that accompany your excess weight, to work those causes out, and to improve your life. Along with resolving the causes and symptoms, you will lose weight without even addressing the weight itself. Remember, the weight is there because of the underlying causes. When you get rid of the causes, there goes the weight, not only from your body, but from your mind as well. In the final analysis you lose the weight, but more importantly gain the insights that lead to a happier, more fulfilling life.

In "Creation" and "Perdition," Volumes One and Two of "The Chronicles of Ara," we learned of a series of "lost" documents that allegedly map the escape of both man and god from imminent catastrophe. When the first of these documents is discovered in London, entitled "The Mirkwood Codex," the secrets contained therein expose far more than expected. Centuries ago, a telling section of "Beowulf" was composed in a strange, almost Elvish language and discreetly hidden. In 1939, decades prior to author J.R.R. Tolkien authenticating the document in "Creation," the Nazis infiltrated Bletchley, believing the sought-after book of legend to be present within the walls of its top-secret spy compound. To plumb the secrets of the lost book, esteemed philologist Tolkien is mysteriously recruited by His Majesty's Secret Service to serve as a code-breaker, alongside Ian Fleming, Alan Turing, Kim Philby and Winston Churchill. When his service is soon terminated and all records of his Bletchley activity erased, however, the muse Ara suddenly emerges with a grave secret she has strived to keep quiet, a secret that threatens to derail one deadly plot but initiate another: a war far grander than even she could have previously imagined ...
