DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen life looks radically different than the plan we have for ourselves, it's the lucky few that recognize God's plan is best. That's what adoptive mom Heather Avis learned, and that's the invitation of this book. As the mother of three adopted children - two with Down syndrome - Heather Avis has learned that it's truly the lucky few who get to live a life like hers, who actually recognize that God's plans are best, even when they seem so radically different from the plans we have for ourselves. When Heather started her journey into parenthood she never thought it would look like this, never planned to have three adopted children, and certainly never imagined that two of them would have Down syndrome. But like most things God does, once she stepped into the craziness and confusion that comes with the unknown and the unplanned, she realized that they were indeed among the lucky few. Discover in this book what 70,000+ followers of Heather's hit Instagram account @macymakesmyday already know: the power of faith and family can help us stay strong in the toughest times. This book will also be especially touching to those with adopted family members or children with Down syndrome in their lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSometimes we try so hard but do not succeed. Sometimes we get what we want but not what we need. Sometimes we love so much but never get love in return. Lilli Jackson, a divorced single mother of three year old Natalie, works as a Public Safety Officer for Verity Security, a property security firm, in a job she doesn't like, but her boss is a gem and she's paid enough to meet her and Natalie's basic needs. She'd really like to meet the right guy, and wear a skirt and blouse with nice shoes to work. She feels trapped. The choices she's made that got her to where she is now will not get her to where she wants to be in the future. But figuring out where she wants to be isn't clear, which makes the choices even fuzzier. She meets an array of people, each with their own desires, secrets, wishes, rules, fears, duties, and obligations. And those people meet others, each making their own choices. No two people are identical. She believes there are people who will try to take advantage of somebody else as well as people who are kind, courteous, loving, and helpful. So she has to figure out who is doing what, in other words who to believe. It's sort of like watching two people arguing about something, each of them using different and contradictory information they claim to be factual objective information. You suspect one is lying and one is telling the truth, but figuring out which one is lying and which one is telling the truth can be difficult.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLorenzo Brown loves his work. In his job as an officer for the Humane Society, he cruises the city streets, looking for dogs that are being mistreated - underfed, unclean, trained to kill. He takes pride in making their lives better. And that pride helps Lorenzo resist the pull of easier money doing the kind of work that got him a recent prison bid. Rachel Lopez loves her work, too. By day she is a parole officer, helping people - Lorenzo Brown among them - along a path to responsibility and advancement. At night she heads for the city's hotel bars, where she can always find a man who will let her act out her damage. She loses herself in sex and drink and more. But Rachel's nights are taking a toll on her days. Lorenzo knows the signs. The trouble is, he truly needs her right now. There's an eruption coming in the streets he left behind, the kind of territorial war that takes down everyone even near it. Lorenzo needs every shred of support he can get to keep from being sucked back into that battleground. He reaches out to Rachel - but she may be too far gone to help either of them. Writing with the grace and force that have earned him praise as "the poet laureate of the crime world," George Pelecanos has created a novel about two scarred and fallible people who must navigate one of life's most brutal passages. It is an unforgettable, moving, even shocking story that will leave no reader unchanged.
