DOWNLOAD EBOOKDennis and Sharon Russell have been divorced over ten years. Their passionate union from thirty years earlier faded from a fire to a flicker before being extinguished by waves of selfishness; they cared more for themselves than each other and finally lived separate lives. Sharon is a teacher approaching early retirement when she is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She never re-married and has little surviving family; she faces the horrors of the disease alone. Re-married, Dennis works as a medical salesman living in the same northeastern Ohio area. He accidentally learns of Sharon's struggles and is compelled by love to visit her. Although rebuffed initially, he realizes the merit of caring for Sharon, not only for her sake but also for his own. Both learn to accept each other's ongoing presence in their lives. Dennis helps Sharon deal with her coming death, and she helps him discover how to not make his old mistakes in his second marriage. Beautifully written, the book highlights the value of serving others before ourselves.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK***THE INSTANT New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and IndieBound BESTSELLER*** An NPR Book of the Day Picking up where the New York Times bestselling Front Row at the Trump Show left off, this is the explosive look at the aftermath of the election—and the events that followed Donald Trump’s leaving the White House all the way to January 6—from ABC News' chief Washington correspondent. Nobody is in a better position to tell the story of the shocking final chapter of the Trump show than Jonathan Karl. As the reporter who has known Donald Trump longer than any other White House correspondent, Karl told the story of Trump’s rise in the New York Times bestseller Front Row at the Trump Show. Now he tells the story of Trump’s downfall, complete with riveting behind-the-scenes accounts of some of the darkest days in the history of the American presidency and packed with original reporting and on-the-record interviews with central figures in this drama who are telling their stories for the first time. This is a definitive account of what was really going on during the final weeks and months of the Trump presidency and what it means for the future of the Republican Party, by a reporter who was there for it all. He has been taunted, praised, and vilified by Donald Trump, and now Jonathan Karl finds himself in a singular position to deliver the truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor those who yearn for some measure of control over deathFinal Acts, offers insight and hope. Writing in a style free of technical jargon, the contributors discuss documents that should be prepared (health proxy, do-not-resuscitate order, living will, power of attorney); decision-making (over medical interventions, life support, hospice and palliative care, aid-in-dying, treatment location, speaking for those who can no longer express their will); and the roles played by religion, custom, family, friends, caretakers, money, the medical establishment, and the government.
