DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Gift of an Ordinary Day is an intimate memoir of a family in transition, with boys becoming teenagers, careers ending and new ones opening up, and an attempt to find a deeper sense of place—and a slower pace—in a small New England town. This is a story of mid-life longings and discoveries, of lessons learned in the search for home and a new sense of purpose, and the bittersweet intensity of life with teenagers—holding on, letting go. Poised on the threshold between family life as she's always known it and her older son's departure for college, Kenison is surprised to find that the times she treasures most are the ordinary, unremarkable moments of everyday life, the very moments that she once took for granted, or rushed right through without noticing at all. The relationships, hopes, and dreams that Kenison illuminates will touch women's hearts, and her words will inspire mothers everywhere as they try to make peace with the inevitable changes in store.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhenever a young child is asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" the answer will undoubtedly include childlike wonder, optimism, and unbridled imagination. A future-traveling astronaut, a fashion designing veterinarian, a doctor for stuffed animals, and the list goes on and on. Unfortunately, as we age and settle firmly into adulthood, that wonder dissipates and we swap our childhood dreams for life's demands. Our days feel prescribed and responsibilities rule our minutes and how we prioritize what matters. As adults, we are taught to believe the question is somehow invalid because we are functioning as a "grown-up." Even though Melissa M. Proctor did not play basketball or have extensive knowledge of the game, her dream as a child was to be the first female coach in the NBA. Instead, her unconventional path has taken a number of twists and turns, starting with being the first ball girl for the Miami Heat and ultimately, earning the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena. However, some would be surprised to learn that even at this stage of her career, Melissa still doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up?and she's okay with it. From Ball Girl to CMO includes relevant themes of hope, persistence, empowerment, and courage to help readers navigate everything from the personal to the professional. Throughout the pages, Melissa shares lessons learned, guiding principles, and a means of comfort for those not quite sure what to do next. With her laid-back style and down to earth attitude, she offers acceptance at a time when many are confused and hope when uncertainty distorts the light at the end of the tunnel. From Ball Girl to CMO urges us to consider if we have in fact been asking ourselves the right question, or if perhaps, we've been expecting an answer from the wrong version of ourselves.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEvery object has a story to tell. Set against the backdrop of the Norfolk coast, The Naming of Bones weaves a patchwork tale of redemption and recovery. Real-life memories intertwine with dreams and folklore in this deeply moving tale of loss and unresolved grief, where tiny moments carry as much weight as the ever-present, ever-changing North Sea. As passionate as it is personal, this story unearths relics of the author's life to reveal the transformative power of love, understanding and forgiveness. "If you only read one book this year, let it be The Naming of Bones. Jan Kaneen's themes make compelling reading: brutal honesty about anxiety disorder, complex family dynamics and the realisation that an incalculable loss has lain unacknowledged for years. The narrative voice develops as the author picks up a literary pen for the first time, which goes hand-in-hand with ghostly imagery taking on a more concrete form. The author's newfound ability serves to unravel the disquiet in her mind, as she embraces the incantations that have haunted her for years: 'I start with my toes, phalanges, metatarsals. . .'" Nod Ghosh, author of The Crazed Wind and Filthy Sucre.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJan Brett reimagines a powerful Middle Eastern folk tale that celebrates hard work and appreciating your roots. Set in India, this gorgeous reimagining of the classic Middle Eastern folk tale "Abu Kassem's Slippers" features a poor tiger cub who is a very hard worker. His mother weaves him slippers to protect his feet from stones and thorns, and they allowed him to prosper--first making bricks, then building houses, and eventually becoming very wealthy. He continues to wear them until someone questions why such a prominent person would wear such worn shoes. Feeling embarrassed, Tiger tries to get rid of the slippers, but fate keeps bringing them back. Finally, Tiger sends them to his uncle, who weeps with pride when he sees the slippers his sister made and his nephew used to accomplish so much. He sets off right away to visit them, bringing the slippers along. Tiger can't believe the slippers are back again, but his little cub gives him an idea: honor the slippers by building a special place for them, to remind him of how far he's come. Jan Brett's lush, vibrant version of this story will inspire fans of her international retellings to appreciate the hard work that leads to all of their successes.
