  In her search to find healing and meaning in midlife, Glenda Goodrich undertakes a series of wilderness quests into the backcountry of Oregon, Washington, and California to discover what the natural world has to teach her about life, death, happiness, spirituality, and forgiveness. 
  This book chronicles the sacred ceremonies that connected Goodrich to the land, wove her into nature’s web, and transformed her from a woman who worked to please others into a woman who forged her own path. It is a brilliant collection of adventures—the touch of coyote fur, a snake’s kiss, a ceremonial blood offering—and a profound reflection on the healing and restorative power of nature. 
  "Glenda Goodrich’s mesmerizing memoir of her over twenty years of solo wilderness quests is an exhilarating and tender read. In moving and penetrating prose, she faces her fears, grief, regrets, even transgressions with the trees, rocks and creatures as her companions. Supported by the wisdom of the Medicine Wheel traditions and able guides, she stunningly recreates her sacred ceremonies as she more fully embraces her artist, wise woman self." 
  —Wendy Judith Cutler, co-author of Writing Alone Together: Journalling in a Circle of Women for Creativity, Compassion and Connection and co-editor of Finding Home Within: Sanctuary and Solace During Tumultuous Times

  This is the story of Jim’s Group, as told by its founder. An account of how a $24 business became one of the world’s largest franchise chains, with over 4,300 Franchisees (and rising). It is an unusually frank and honest account, showing the human weaknesses and mistakes as well as the successes. 
  This is a very different guide to business success, drawn not only from Jim’s experience but the lessons he has drawn from contact with thousands of successful (and some less successful) Franchisees and Franchisors. It is a business story that says little or nothing about business plans and corporate structures, but a great deal about character and attitude. And always, about the need to put the customer first.

  A poignant and introspective memoir from Irish journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird. 
  In 2021, Charlie Bird was diagnosed with motor neurone disease – a man whose voice was so synonymous with his career faced losing it completely. Yet knowing he had just a short time left with family and friends, what emerged was a great sense of resilience and motivation to take advantage of every moment. 
  Here, Charlie reflects on his life and phenomenal broadcast career through the lense of his diagnosis, as he ponders the big questions and takes stock of the small moments that we so often overlook. 
  Written over the course of 2022 as his health deteriorated, with the help of long-time friend and fellow journalist Ray Burke, this is a candid and unforgettable story about the triumph of the human spirit and, ultimately, what it means to be alive. 
  In this award-winning autobiography, Charlie Bird, a top journalist, confronts his physical impairments with an unyielding spirit, turning grief into a testament of resilience. His memoirs, a personal exploration of life, death, and the medical challenges he faces, are a beacon of hope for patients navigating similar trials. 
  For fans of Graham Norton (The Life and Loves of a He Devil), Anne Glenconner (Whatever Next?), Emer Mclysaght (Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling), and Bono (Surrender).

  NHOJ - A Memoir That Started...

  John Lazenby

  As a journalist and author, John Lazenby has spent more than forty years chronicling the tales of others. But for much of his life he closely guarded his own compelling story – a long and challenging struggle with childhood dyslexia, unable to read or write at a time when neurodiversity was rarely considered or recognised. Sent away to boarding school at the age of seven, John's future pivoted on the life-changing intervention of a teacher who finally understood the boy whom no one else could teach.
  In this warm and poignant memoir, John traces his misadventures through the unforgiving education system of the 1960s, when illiteracy was viewed as a character defect that could be rectified by stern discipline and regular beatings, and takes us on an evocative visit to the not-so-distant past, introducing the kind and eccentric family who never gave up on him – and the array of teachers who did.
  We follow the intrepid progress of a boy who could write only one word – his name, spelled backwards – to a man who finally found his true calling after a series of setbacks and false starts, only to make the late discovery that he had travelled through life unaware of a second neurodiversity, hiding in plain sight. Heart-warming, hilarious, raw and shocking, NHOJ is a tribute to overcoming challenges, ignoring barriers and holding on to hope in a world that initially seems to have no place for you.

  In 1974, a nineteen-year-young kid was involved in an accident that would forever alter the course of his life and the lives of his immediate family and friends. But partly due to his upbringing, the makeup of his character, and his outlook on life, he shares with us how, after over four decades, he continues to weather the storm and has become a successful entrepreneur, an admirable human being, and an asset to his community. 
  Reading his autobiography, one will discover his life’s path and what thoughts, people, and opportunities have helped him make the best out of his challenge, as well as what insight we can gain and apply from his journey that will help us bring more wisdom, peace, prosperity, and love to our path in life.
