  Bestselling author Loren W. Christensen served as a Military Policeman in Saigon, Vietnam, "the most dangerous city in the world," as it was called at the time. Shortly after returning home, he joined the Portland Police Bureau in Oregon, serving for twenty-five years. As a street cop, there were times he was dispatched to dead body calls so frequently that other officers teasingly called him the "Death Car." 
   
   
   
  It didn't help that the morgue was in his beat, which meant he and his partner were often called to identify freshly brought in corpses without identification. 
   
   
   
  Dead Body Calls tells of some of his experiences with the victims of suicide, homicide, fatal accidents, and natural deaths that crossed his path. Loren shows the effects of the deaths on family and friends at the scenes and the eventual toll on him and other officers.

  In a world increasingly shaped by fear, division, and rising authoritarianism, Finding My Humanity is a timely memoir that invites us back to what connects us most—our mutual capacity for love, empathy, and courage- indeed our shared humanity. Ryan Ubuntu Olson's journey begins in rural Colorado, where he wrestles with his identity in a community that offers little space for difference. As a queer young man navigating isolation, discrimination, and heartbreak, he is forced to reckon with what it means to live authentically in the face of rejection. But what begins as a personal struggle evolves into something far greater. On a conservative Catholic college campus, Ryan Ubuntu unexpectedly becomes a public advocate, confronting bias and building community. That role propels him into global human rights work, where he supports activists and inclusive development efforts in countries like Kenya, Jamaica, Peru, Malawi, and Cambodia. From the grassroots to the halls of the United Nations, Ryan Ubuntu becomes a bridge between lived experience and global policy, shaping strategies for inclusion and dignity worldwide. More than a memoir, Finding My Humanity is a reflection on what it means to turn pain into purpose—and how one person’s story can spark collective action. With raw honesty and unwavering hope, Ryan Ubuntu explores how our personal "why" can become a driving "how" in the fight for justice, connection, and change. Narrated by the author himself, the audiobook seeks to add deeper meaning to the memoir by adding the human depth and conviction that can only be expressed in the tone and intonation of the person most impacted by the memoir's greatest meaning. Whether you're seeking purpose, healing, or inspiration, this is a book for anyone ready to lead with heart in a world hungry for hope.

  In Walking the Tideline, Caroline Kurtz solo hikes the rugged, beautiful Oregon Coast—an expedition of isolation, adventure, joy, and grief inside the emotional wilderness of finding one's identity after the death of a loved one. 
    
  In her third memoir, Portland-based author Caroline Kurtz travels the coast of Oregon on foot in her late sixties, tracing the boundary of sand and salt water, rock and forests, carrying her shelter and food as she navigates the edges of solace and resolution after the death of her husband. During her journey, Kurtz grieves as she reflects on her long, and at times rocky, marriage to Mark, whom she had known and loved since she was a teenager in boarding school in Ethiopia. As she navigates the adventures encountered along the trail—leaky tents, hitching rides, chance encounters, and beautiful landscapes—she intertwines the historical events of coastal Oregon with her spiritual experience, giving space for the shattering of an old identity and the planting of a new self, nourished and enlightened by the depths of a profoundly complex and considered life. 
    
  Kurtz spent her early years in Oregon before her parents moved her and her siblings to remote Ethiopia, where she spent her childhood and teen years, before returning to America for college, where she reunited with and married Mark. The two lived variously in Portland, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and retired to Portland, where Caroline now lives.

  This book is a record of my memories and experiences from a young child until I was thirty-seven years old and met my third husband. In between, I faced challenges, made some questionable choices, suffered the consequences and persevered. I'm still here to talk about it. I felt like it was important to share these stories as I'm sure many people can relate. The stories I've shared include hopelessness, anger and frustration, but also humor, sarcasm and success. I hope to provide encouragement, empathy, and support.
