Deborah Kinisky is thriving. When you read her story, you may at times wonder how. Deborah's "Purple Sky" analogy which is presented in the first book "Purple Sky Survivalist " is interesting and thought provoking. It also lays a good groundwork for the story ahead. Deborah candidly shares her life with a matter-of-factness that takes you off guard. There are events that are at times disturbing and presented just as a day like any other, demonstrating how normalizing atrocious behavior can lead children to grow up with a distorted view of the world. There are moments of humor that will make you laugh out loud. You will question your own view of normal. It's in these moments of questioning and self-analysis that you'll find the truths of your life, as well as the falsehoods. Only by sorting the truth from the lies you can find your own blue skies. "Survivalist to Thrivalist - One Woman's Journey" shows you how Deborah finds her blue skies and became a thrivalist. Her stories will help lead you to your own truths, and help you to thrive. The journey to blue skies is possible for us all and as Deborah shows us, it's worth the trip. Debra Burns BA BEd - Woman, Daughter, Mother.

***Shortlisted for the Great Outdoors Book of the Year*** Surviving in the wild takes a great deal of strength. Often faced with frozen tundra, sweltering deserts, humid jungles, perilous mountains and fast-flowing rivers, Megan Hine is no stranger to perilous conditions. Whilst leading expeditions and bushcraft survival courses and in her work on television shows such as Bear Gryll's Mission Survive and Running Wild, she has explored the corners of the globe in pursuit of adventure. Faced with the toughest of conditions: bad weather; lack of food and being in the presence of predators, is the ultimate test of character and often the biggest challenge to overcome is in the head. In these situations, the human brain is simultaneously the greatest asset and biggest liability. Not everyone is suited to the great outdoors and when danger calls many aren't as well-equipped to survive, no amount of top of the range kit will save you if you don't have the right frame of mind. Here Megan Hine examines the human ability and instinct for survival, showing us how others have developed the attitudes and attributes to thrive in the most dangerous situations, and how those same attitudes and attributes help them confront problems and obstacles at work and at home. Being chased through the jungle by armed opium farm guards, abseiling past bears and lighting fires with tampons, Megan has seen and done it all. In Mind of a Survivor she takes you along for a series of life-and-death adventures and shows you what happens to people when they are pushed to their limits. Inspirational rather than instructional, Megan examines the human ability and instinct for survival sharing the life tools that she uses and showing how they can as easily be applied to more domestic everyday life - from careers to relationships, from overcoming adversity to decision making. Filled with her own experiences, Mind of a Survivor is packed full of adventure and can help people survive in any situation and cope with whatever life throws at them.

When Jessica Rasdall was a freshman in college, she made a life-altering decision that resulted in the death of her best friend. With her life, as well as those of so many others, shattered, Jessica went to a bookstore in search of a self-help book. She couldn't find any on the shelves that she could relate to. Shattered breaks down her journey to "put a book on the shelf." Jessica tells her story of her journey from murderer to survivor while providing actionable steps and inspiration along the way. When life throws you a curveball, this book will show you that you can pick up your shattered pieces and use your own story to learn, heal, and connect with others. Although there may not be a roadmap for your own journey, Shattered is intended to help you along the way. "We've all been there. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, we all know the moment that your life changes - the moment the person you once were is gone. We've all had those panic attacks 'in the hall' facing the consequences of choices we've made." - Aubrey Mathis of Life's Lemon-Aid
