Mama Is Still Here! Is a true story of an educated and accomplished African-American woman who was raised in the state of Mississippi between the 1940’s and 1960’s. Daisy: a wife, mother, and everyone’s favorite sister, aunt, and friend, is admired for her swagger and confidence. But she finds her life spiraling out of control because of impaired memory lapses due to Alzheimer’s disease. The devastating diagnosis crushed Daisy and her husband’s world, and the world of their adult children. Initially, the way each family member connected to her was at some level of denial and/or anger. The author, Daisy’s son, shares their story and his personal grief. The author also shares his observations and the memory of his mother before and after Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The scriptures and prayers at the end of the chapters are a very nice touch, and the epigraphs are very successful at conveying the tone of each chapter. SeniorAdvisor.com, the nation’s largest reviews and ratings source, helps millions of consumers every year find the best resources and senior care for their loved ones. Professional assistance for caregivers and families experiencing the daily ups and downs of Alzheimer’s disease is being provided – free of charge – to the readers of Mama Is Still Here.

Ivy Culpepper keeps the ovens hot at Yeast of Eden, a Northern California bakery that specializes in traditional breads. But now she has to deal with a stone-cold killer . . . Just as Ivy’s brother Billy is about to get engaged to his beloved, a tragedy interrupts the happy moment. The body of longtime Santa Sofia resident Marisol Ruiz washes up on the beach—and it’s even more heartbreaking since Marisol’s father also recently died. But Marisol was a strong competitive swimmer. It seems unlikely there’s even a grain of truth to the theory that she accidentally drowned. As Ivy gets to work helping her mentor, Olaya Solis, with the catering for Marisol’s funeral, she also teams up with her partners in detection—because if they want to prevent someone from getting away with murder, there’s no time for loafing . . .

GUARDIAN: The Cost of Change is Everything Merelith Torhal is the guardian of her family and its kingdom, but it feels like a title and little else. Now eighteen years old, Merelith still hasn’t transformed into what she is supposed to be: an angyr, a powerful creature capable of bending time itself and killing immortals. Born to sorceress queens and immortal kings, Torhal’s guardians were never destined to wear the crown on their sibling’s heads. Instead, Merelith is something not human, not civilized, and definitely not safe. All problems in the eyes of her little sister and crown princess. Yet dangerous is precisely what Torhal needs as war threatens the tiny kingdom after centuries of peace. Merelith is all in on becoming an apex predator and protector, but will abandoning the woman she is also mean leaving behind her family, her lover, and everything she ever was? Quick Facts About This Book: 1. Guardian is the first book in the series The Wildlands. The story is ~125,000 words long and features over 40 chapters. There is also a resource section for additional lore and reader wellbeing. 2.

When her son is in trouble, a heartbroken mother finds the courage and faith to save him, in ReShonda Tate Billingsley’s powerful family drama—a novel as timely as today’s headlines. The breaking TV news rocks Jasper, Texas, to the core: a white police officer is fatally shot in a scuffle with three black youths—and a cellphone video captures Jamal Jones, the sixteen-year-old son of esteemed Reverend Elton Jones, escalating the tragic encounter. Now, as the national spotlight shines on a town already rife with racial tension, Jamal is a murder suspect on the run. And all of Jasper—even the Reverend’s congregation—rushes to judge the boy they thought they knew. But Gloria Jones knows her son best, and she races to find Jamal before the law does—to the outrage of her workaholic husband. Once she finds him, she has to decide whether to turn him in or help him run. With ruthless prosecutor and Houston mayoral candidate Kay Christensen hungering to put another young thug behind bars, Gloria will face her biggest battle yet. And when long-hidden secrets and shocking lies come to light, throwing Jamal’s case and his destiny into a tailspin, all Gloria can do is pray that the truth—and a mother’s unconditional love—will be enough to redeem the mistakes of the past and ultimately, save her son.

Joshua Road is the first young adult novel written by Diane Vetter Squires. Her story takes place in the mid-1980s and chronicles the coming-of-age path of Brianna Amatore, a teenaged girl with strong family ties, growing up in a Philadelphia suburb. A focal point of the story is her home, on Joshua Road, where many significant events originate as well as culminate. This story is a call-back to the days when home was more than just a place for teenagers to eat and sleep; where families came together in times of happiness as well as grief; success as well as failure. It is a poignant story of love, loss and fate, and the exploration of the relationships the main character has with her family and friends, as well as herself.
