⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Much more than a Coming-of-Age story"

Award-winning author Donald Lystra brings us a wholly unique American heroine, Audrey Brubaker, a fierce young woman who combines the tenacity of Scarlett O'Hara with the charm of Holly Golightly.

It's fall of 1963 in a city in America's industrial heartland. Audrey Brubaker, rejected by her family and community but determined to build a life for herself, becomes the unlikely mentor to Nate Walker, a math and science prodigy who has turned to art in an effort to cope with the death of a revered older brother.

In a relationship that borders on love but never quite seems to get there, Audrey gives meaning to Nate's artistic aspirations, introduces him to life's hard edges, and helps him find courage. Together they set off on an ill-fated mission: to recover Nate's brother's body from a military cemetery in northern Michigan.

Along the way, secrets are uncovered and boundaries are crossed which will change Nate's life forever. But in a heart-wrenching ending, it is Audrey who will need to tap the well-spring of Nate's empathy for her own redemptive needs.

From the streets of a decaying rust-belt city to the pristine forests of northern Michigan, Lystra weaves a narrative that tugs at your heartstrings and compels you to reflect on life and its complexities. If you loved timeless classics like Ordinary People and To Kill a Mockingbird, this book is a must-read for you!


Readers are LOVING this wonderful book:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"The story and the characters are marvelous. One has to love Audrey with all her eccentricities and flaws. How did (the author) manage to do that?"
- Dennis Turner, author of the bestselling "What Did You Do During the War, Sister?"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Don't miss this one..... There is a deliberate carefulness, a delicacy even, that characterizes Lystra's writing..... I'm not sure how he does it, but it works...... And in the process, he is doing the writer's job - telling the truth, one true sentence at a time. This is fine writing of the highest caliber. My very highest recommendation." – TIM BAZZETT, author of BOOKLOVER and four other titles

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is such a beautiful coming-of-age novel about two young people who connect over traumatic events they slowly reveal to one another......Lystra takes a magnifying glass to the moments of possibility...... As the novel progresses, Lystra whittles the truth out of the events the characters experience in a way that feels exactly right as you arrive at the very last page. A wonderful novel." – Amazon Reviewer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Calling this book a coming-of-age story doesn't do it justice… set in1963 America, in the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Kennedy assassination…. Mr. Lystra has given the reader much to think about which may be equally pertinent in the very troubled America we live in today.” –Goodreads reviewer

A New York Times bestseller! From Edgar Award–winning novelist, playwright, and story-songwriter Rupert Holmes comes a diabolical thriller with a killer concept: The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts, “a fantasy academy laid out like a combination of Hogwarts, Downton Abbey, and a White Lotus–style resort” (Los Angeles Times) dedicated to the art of murder where students study how best to “delete” their most deserving victim.

Who hasn’t wondered for a split second what the world would be like if a person who is the object of your affliction ceased to exist? But then you’ve probably never heard of The McMasters Conservatory, dedicated to the consummate execution of the homicidal arts. To gain admission, a student must have an ethical reason for erasing someone who deeply deserves a fate no worse (nor better) than death. The campus of this “Poison Ivy League” college—its location unknown to even those who study there—is where you might find yourself the practice target of a classmate…and where one’s mandatory graduation thesis is getting away with the perfect murder of someone whose death will make the world a much better place to live.

Brace yourself for a scorching new series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Rose, where San Diego means sun, surf, sand…and serial killers.
 
Sam Reeves is a kindhearted psychologist who treats court-ordered clients. After one of his patients—a pathological liar—starts revealing plausible new details from a long-unsolved serial murder case, he’s compelled to report anonymously to the SDPD tip line, though his attempts to respect patient confidentiality land him facedown and cuffed by the aggressive (and cute) Detective McKittrick.
 
San Diego homicide detective Kit McKittrick loves the water. She lives on a boat, and when she’s not solving crimes with the SDPD, she’s assisting her foster sister with her charter fishing business or playing with her poodle. But there’s nothing that intrigues Kit more than a cold case, so when an anonymous caller leads her on the path of a wanted killer, she’s determined to end the decade-long manhunt.
 
Sam is soon released but goes home with both a newfound distaste for the SDPD and a resolve—not unlike Kit’s—to uncover the truth. Kit and Sam repeatedly butt heads in their separate investigations but are forced to work together to find one of the deadliest serial killers the city has faced in years.

“A hugely influential account that qualifies as jaw-dropping.” –William Peter Blatty, author of The Exorcist

Is evil real? Is it a metaphor for the bad things people do or does it prowl the earth like a living, breathing entity that possesses the souls of vulnerable humans?

The Unwelcomed begins with the arrival of a young Radcliffe student at the office of renowned psychotherapist, Dr. Morton Prince. Pursued by a city marshal hellbent on solving the murder of two infants strangled by her father, Clara Fowler relives the nightmare that was her childhood—exalted by Visitations from Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin, cursed by the emergence of a demonic presence obsessed with her demise.

What did it all mean? And how did each of these murders link with the serial killings of Jack the Ripper and H. H. Holmes? The answer, the grizzled lawman discovers, is more shocking than he could ever imagine!

One easygoing poker player, one no-nonsense camp counselor, and two hidden pasts...

Why did I think I could become a camp counselor? As a professional poker player, my experience with kids is… limited, at best. What I thought would be a few days of fun by the lake is more intense than I ever could have imagined, and meeting my co-counselor was like a gut punch. She’s smart and beautiful with biting wit and a smile for everyone—except me.

I don’t know what I’ve done to make her hate me, and every attempt to win her over seems to backfire. Most people would fold—but I can’t walk away from her, or from the sadness hiding behind her eyes.

She’s determined to keep her secrets to herself, but she’s not the only one hiding things. So when a camper is in danger, can we put aside our hidden pasts and work together? Or will our secrets cost us more than just our shot at love?

Fans of Meghan Quinn and Pippa Grant will love this steamy, reverse grumpy-sunshine romantic comedy.

Darwin’s Big Lie is an exposé of Darwin’s big lie and his ancillary lies, half-truths, tautologies, stretches, religious motivations, racism, ignorance, and wild contradictions in his seminal work On the Origin of Species. Biologists cite Charles Darwin as a lofty and prescient genius. He was an intelligent and knowledgeable scientist. But then he became a cunning wordsmith. In his first chapter Darwin discussed changes in organisms under artificial selection, or domestic breeding programs.

“But for our purpose, a kind of selection which may be called unconscious, and which results from every one trying to possess and breed from the best individual animals, is more important.”

What could be more conscious than trying? Has anyone ever tried to do anything unconsciously? How does one unconsciously acquire and possess domestic animals? Further conscious activity is required to “possess and breed” anything.

Even more conscious activity involves breeding “the best individual animals.” The best animals are always determined consciously. And “every one” trying to possess purebreds do these activities consciously.

So which clearly conscious activities involved in breeding the best individuals can rightly be labeled “unconscious”? None of them! This is Darwin’s big lie. Then he stretched his big lie into natural selection, then into macroevolution.

Grief is deeply personal. Everyone grieves differently and there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to dealing with our grief. There's no right or wrong approach when it comes to dealing with loss. We discover our own path that works for us. With love and forgiveness, we can work through our grief in a positive way. As we move forward through our journey toward healing, our grief can become less acute. We can get to where our grief is no longer holding us captive. Eventually, our journey can take us to where we can find healing and peace.

Within the pages of this book, you'll find the heartfelt story of someone who has lived and is still living through the profound loss of his loved ones, and who understands the incredible excruciating pain that comes with such loss. It is very important for all of us who are grieving the loss of our loved ones to remember, that while we are working through our grief, we never walk this journey alone.

"Heartache to Healing, Navigating Grief, and Finding Peace" has been a labor of love spanning over 25 years, my heartfelt journey of Love, Sweat, and Tears. It holds a special place in my heart, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share it with you. This book provides the reader with my own story and how I navigated my journey of working through my own grief. Sharing the steps that I took, and what I learned along my journey that brought me to find healing and ultimately peace.
