This four-book series on the traditional Chinese Iron Palm is the most complete and thorough treatment of this subject ever. Prior to this book series, with the exception of Grandmaster Brian Gray¿s first two books, there were no scholarly books on the subject, and the few books that were available contained only fragments of the knowledge on this ancient art. Now, for the first time ever, everything there is to know about the Chinese Iron Palm is contained in one complete set of books. Every question is answered thoroughly and scholarly, and the student is taken from beginner level all the way through to master level. Scholarly, factual, thorough and complete, this is truly the ultimate Iron Palm book series. Book #4: There has never been a form for the Iron Palm. There is a reason for that which is contained in this book. I created an Iron Palm form so that martial artists and non-martial artists would be able to practice self-defense techniques that coordinate perfectly with the Iron Palm theories. Regardless of a person¿s training level or martial art style, this form gives theory and application a three-dimensional practice regimen.

An unforgettable story about the complex choices women make for love, motherhood, and family—and the unexpected events that open our hearts to what really matters in life. Clare Elias feels more than ready to conquer being a parent. She’s already mastered the business world, running a flourishing chain of boutique flower shops. Her husband, Marc, is handsome, successful, supportive—and nearly a decade her junior. Clare is at the top of her game, so how hard can motherhood be? Then the babies come—both of them. And Clare finds herself in the midst of the crisis faced by every woman who’s ever tried to Have It All. She’s sworn she won’t have her children raised by nannies the way her inattentive mother did, but when help arrives in the form of pretty, young, hyperefficient Jenna, Clare has no idea that bringing this stranger into her family will change everything. As Marc becomes distant and secretive and, worst of all, one of her babies gets sick, Clare—and Jenna—must make the kinds of heartwrenching decisions that no woman wants to face. Wise, witty, and powerfully emotional, Who Loves You Best captures the working mother’s joys and frustrations—as well as the guilty secrets of nannies—in a tale that is surprising to the very end.
