The universe has many selfless people—people who drop everything and go out of their way to help others in need. Aruna Gobalan isn't one of them. But that changed during the year. Amidst the global pandemic of 2020, she felt a call to give back. Aruna recognized she was one of the fortunate few to have weathered the pandemic reasonably unscathed. She and her family managed to stay healthy through the crisis, and she still had a job. She found herself feeling guilty, restless, and like she could be doing more to help. So, she turned to her mediation cushion in search of inner peace. As she contemplatively fidgeted away, guilt gave way to inspiration -- she had an epiphany. She decided to embark on a 21-day secret giving project to seek out and personally thank unsung heroes in the community. Not usually one to approach strangers on the street and hand them money, Aruna took herself out of her comfort zone and into many a comical situation. She found herself tracking down postal workers, teachers, and sanitation workers to press money into their hands -- but more importantly, to make sure they knew how appreciated they were. This book is a collection of twenty short essays, one for each day of giving. Woven with Aruna's personal experiences, memories, and observations -- some funny, some lighthearted, and all real and raw. Through these essays, Aruna hopes to entertain and inspire you to undertake similar projects of your own.

My Twisted Life is about the life of Randolph Douglas Hopkins. His voice takes the reader on a journey through Randy's first childhood memory of being brutally beaten for a crime he didn't commit. Then living in unimaginable pain as punishment for that crime. With a strong will to live and simply being too stubborn to die, he endured brutal amputations and bullet wounds using his self taught skills to patch himself back together. Randy never knew his father and can't remember even knowing his name. He grew up roaming the country with his psychotic mother and alcoholic stepdad, never knowing any stability in his life. With little formal education, due to the frequency and extent of his wounds and the gypsy lifestyle of his folks, he used his self driven motivation to educate himself in the skills that he most needed to survive. Aside from the basics of reading and writing, he became skilled in street smarts and survival with things such as petty theft, pool hustling as well as "doctoring" and mind control. He turned to drugs at a young age and used heavily throughout half of his childhood and all of his teen years. He was constantly faced with life threatening obstacles and always found himself longing for death, but yet struggling to live. Randy was determined to not let the abuse against him result in his death, so he struggled to do what ever it took to stay alive. Along the journey of his life, he made true friends and true love. Step inside Randy's memories as he tells his story.

Her world is an absolute tragedy. Besides, everyone thinks she's dumb just because she is neurodivergent and special in her own way. Even her own father thinks she's useless, and decides to take advantage of her to crush her dreams. Not before she decides to not let him do just that. From surviving in a world that never works right for her to thriving in times of troubles, Lucenda toughens up and shows everyone else what she is capable of - which is more than what anyone else could imagine of her. Everyone except Alix (even Lucenda!) doesn't realise how she's changed thanks to time and of course, Alix. She starts to see how the world works for her benefit. She eventually overcomes all odds to succeed...
