    I was never my mom's favorite child. It was always her and my sister.  
    When I was old enough to be on my own, I left without looking back. I made my own way in the world, had a family and built a beautiful life. But a trip to the emergency room in 2013 changed everything. My mom had dementia, and I was tasked with taking care of her, all by myself.  
    I learned everything I could about grief in an effort to prepare for her to die. I had to face my own resentments, fears, and anger as I accepted my caregiver role so I could love my mom while she was alive and dying.  
    Even at the end, when I was just a nice lady to came to visit her, I was ready, no matter how many years she had left. I knew I'd be by her side and hold her hand as she left this earth. But nothing I did prepared me for what actually happened.  
    All my best-laid plans crumbled around me as I had to use everything I'd learned to make it through the worst thing I could never have imagined.  
    When the Window Closes is a profoundly personal and emotional narrative centered around the author's six-year journey as a caregiver for her mother, who had Alzheimer's disease. The book weaves back and forth between past events and the present caregiving moments, illustrating her complicated and trying relationship with her mother and how the burden of caregiving evolved into a great gift of unconditional love and acceptance. 
    Throughout the memoir, the author explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, family responsibilities, caregiving in the face of adversity, navigating the confusing healthcare system, and grappling with feelings of grief, loss, fear, resentment, and finding peace in letting go.

    Slow Time, Present Soul is a poetic and spiritual reflection written from a wheelchair, through the eyes of Jorge Madera. Living with Ataxia and speech impairment, the author embraces the beauty of stillness and the power of surrender. 
    In this moving audiobook, Madera explores the symbolic value of time, silence, and present living. This is not a medical memoir — it is a spiritual offering. A love letter to those living slowly, painfully, and truthfully. 
    Narrated in the voice of Adam, each chapter becomes a sacred pause — a moment of breath, presence, and deep listening. 
    Created in partnership with VIVIRLIFE.blog, Slow Time, Present Soul invites you to rest your mind, listen with your spirit, and find meaning in your slowest moments.

    From Ireland, England, France, Austria, Greece, Turkey and Italy to America and the West Indies, overflowing with historic events, from the French Revolution to the Great Irish Famine, with a cast of the famous and infamous, Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo, lived life to the absolute limits. Privileged yet compassionate, charismatic yet flawed, Regency Buck, Irish landlord, West Indian plantation owner, Knight of St Patrick, Privy Counsellor, intrepid traveller, intimate of kings, emperors and despots, favoured guest in the fashionable salons of London and Paris, patron of artists and pugilists, founder of the Irish Turf Club, friend and fellow traveller of Lord Byron, treasure-seeker, spy, sailor and jailbird, as well as the father of fifteen children, the astonishing range and diversity of Sligo's life is breathtaking.
    
    
    From a youth of hedonistic self-indulgence in Regency England to a reforming, responsible, well-intentioned legislator and landlord, Sligo became enshrined in the history of Jamaica as 'Emancipator of the Slaves' and in Ireland as 'The Poor Man's Friend' during the most difficult of times.
    
    
    Eight years in the writing and sourced from over 15,000 primary contemporary manuscripts located by the author in private and public archives around the world, From Rake to Radical sheds new light on significant historical events and on the people who shaped them in Ireland, England, Europe and the West Indies during a period of momentous political turbulence and change.
