  The deeply personal story of why award-winning personal finance blogger Elizabeth Willard Thames abandoned a successful career in the city and embraced extreme frugality in order to create a more meaningful, purpose-driven life and retire to a homestead in the woods at age thirty-two with her husband and daughter. 
  In 2014, Elizabeth and Nate Thames were conventional 9-5 young urban professionals. But the couple had a dream to become modern-day homesteaders in rural Vermont. Determined to retire as early as possible in order to start living each day—as opposed to wishing time away working for the weekends—they enacted a plan to save an enormous amount of money: well over seventy percent of their joint take home pay. Dubbing themselves the Frugalwoods, Elizabeth began documenting their unconventional frugality and the resulting wholesale lifestyle transformation on their eponymous blog. 
  In less than three years, Elizabeth and Nate reached their goal. Today, they are financially independent and living out their dream on a sixty-six-acre homestead in the woods of rural Vermont with their young daughter. While frugality makes their lifestyle possible, it’s also what brings them peace and genuine happiness. They don’t stress out about impressing people with their material possessions, buying the latest gadgets, or keeping up with any Joneses. In the process, Elizabeth discovered the self-confidence and liberation that stems from disavowing our culture’s promise that we can buy our way to ""the good life."" Elizabeth unlocked the freedom of a life no longer beholden to the clarion call to consume ever-more products at ever-higher sums. 
  Meet the Frugalwoods is the intriguing story of how Elizabeth and Nate realized that the mainstream path wasn’t for them, crafted a lifestyle of sustainable frugality, and reached financial independence at age thirty-two. While not everyone wants to live in the woods, or quit their jobs, many of us want to have more control over our time and money and lead more meaningful, simplified lives. Following their advice, you too can live your best life.

  This Is My New Foundation: A Memoir of Loss, Faith, and Redemption — Based on a True Story 
  When life collapses without warning, what do you build from the rubble? 
  This Is My New Foundation is the powerful true story of Bill Bailey, a man shattered by crisis, grief, and the quiet devastations no one sees coming, and the extraordinary journey that led him from breaking point to breakthrough. 
  From the hard-edged streets of Detroit to the disciplined halls of West Point, from the chaos of military service to the loneliness of personal loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bailey’s path is marked by struggle, resilience, and the fierce will to keep going. What looked like the end became the beginning of something transformative: a testament to survival, faith, and the unshakeable strength found only when everything else falls away. 
  Told with honesty, humility, and a steady undercurrent of hope, this memoir resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by circumstance or overlooked in their own story. Bailey shows us that pain can be a teacher, faith can be a blueprint, and healing can begin, even in silence. 
  This book is a reminder for all who are searching, rebuilding, or trying to rise again: 
  You don’t rebuild with bricks. 
   You rebuild with truth, faith, and a new foundation.
