The ominous steel gray clouds stacked the late afternoon sky signaling the pending snowstorm. Klee Cato, a Fairhaven Central school teacher, maneuvered her 1972 Chevy into the parking lot, intending to purchase some groceries in case the snowstorm ushered in a big dumping. Once she placed the shift gear into park, she was stunned at the sight before her as she peered over the car's hood. That fateful encounter ignited a personal journey of powerful lessons for Klee, her students, and those who came into her life. The novel, "Forever Footprints," which is based on a true dog rescue, details how her experiences would lead her from failure to triumph, passion to heartache, and the memory of two loves that would forever endure.

Are you in trouble? Are you depressed? Are you ready to give up on life? STOP! 'I've been where you are. I was ready to give up. I tried everything out there and nothing worked. So as a last resort, I prayed. It started slowly, but by the end of my prayer, I felt hopeful—hopeful I could move forward, hopeful I could find a solution, hopeful I could find a way back to who I used to be. Today, I have my life back. This little book of hope offers wisdom and inspiration to help you start a life of prayerful healing. Take the first step with me in The Simple Little Book of Hope, and let's find your way home!' —Tom Peck
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightful sampler plate of our national parks, written with charisma and erudition.”—Nick Offerman, author of Paddle Your Own Canoe From CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Conor Knighton, a behind-the-scenery look at his year traveling to each of America's National Parks, discovering the most beautiful places and most interesting people our country has to offer NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY OUTSIDE When Conor Knighton set off to explore America's "best idea," he worried the whole thing could end up being his worst idea. A broken engagement and a broken heart had left him longing for a change of scenery, but the plan he'd cooked up in response had gone a bit overboard in that department: Over the course of a single year, Knighton would visit every national park in the country, from Acadia to Zion. In Leave Only Footprints, Knighton shares informative and entertaining dispatches from what turned out to be the road trip of a lifetime. Whether he's waking up early for a naked scrub in a historic bathhouse in Arkansas or staying up late to stargaze along our loneliest highway in Nevada, Knighton weaves together the type of stories you're not likely to find in any guidebook. Through his unique lens, America the Beautiful becomes America the Captivating, the Hilarious, and the Inspiring. Along the way, he identifies the threads that tie these wildly different places together—and that tie us to nature—and reveals how his trip ended up changing his views on everything from God and love to politics and technology. Filled with fascinating tidbits about our parks' past and reflections on their fragile future, this book is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americans share.

To the untrained eye, Jericho Diggs' life seems a tragedy. His down low sex-capades have been exposed. He is HIV positive. His wife is in jail. His daughter lives with his wife's sister and her husband, whom he has never liked. And as if this were not enough, the purest love he never allowed himself to embrace in Jordan has finally closed its eyes in sad solitude, and after years of neglect, disappeared before he ever opened his eyes. In light of his misfortune, he decides to move back home to Mississippi, and his sole mission is to gain custody of his daughter. That is until he runs into Adrian. And when the mystery that binds them both to Jordan blossoms into a complicated attraction, they unexpectedly find themselves tangled in the chaotic webs of each other's pasts where secrets, lies and devastating revelations ultimately lead Jericho to the kiss that has perhaps been awaiting him his entire life.
