    In I Am Still Here: A Testament of Faith, Recovery, and Calling, Dr. Samuel L. Malone shares a deeply moving story of survival, transformation, and divine purpose. What began as a life marked by adversity, loss, and near-destruction became a journey toward faith, healing, and restoration. Through courage and conviction, Dr. Malone invites readers to witness not only the trials that tested him but also the faith that carried him through. 
    With transparency and compassion, he opens his heart about the moments when life’s weight felt unbearable, the knock at the door, the moments of surrender, and the call to rise again. His story is more than personal; it is a testimony for anyone who has faced despair, doubt, or the feeling of being forgotten. 
    This book stands as both a mirror and a light, reflecting the struggles of humanity while illuminating a path toward hope, forgiveness, and new beginnings. It is a message to everyone who has been broken that your pain does not define you; your purpose does. 
    Dr. Malone reminds us that being “still here” is not merely about surviving the storm but becoming the vessel through which God’s healing power flows.

    Most people don't quit because they're lazy. 
    They quit because the doubt gets louder than the belief. 
    Rise Anyway is a collection of real stories about people who kept going when stopping would've made more sense. These aren't celebrity success stories or overnight wins. These are everyday people who faced setbacks, uncertainty, and moments where quitting felt justified, but they chose to move forward anyway. 
    Each story stands on its own, which means you don't have to read this book in order. You can start wherever you feel pulled. Some stories will feel familiar. Others might challenge how you see your own journey. All of them point back to one truth: belief isn't something you wait for, it's something you build through action. 
    This book is for anyone who has felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure if their effort still matters. It's for the person who's still showing up even when the results aren't clear. If you've ever questioned whether you should keep going, Rise Anyway is a reminder that progress still counts, even when the path forward isn't fully visible.

    The Afghanistan war endured for two decades, involving an all-volunteer military force deployed repeatedly between 2001-2021. Over the course of these 20 years, thousands of young Americans lived through their own unique versions of the war, each marked by personal war stories and life-altering events. The war concluded on August 30th, 2021, leaving both the United States and the people of Afghanistan with a somber and perplexing aftermath. An entire generation now grapples with questions surrounding the reasons behind their sacrifices, as well as the thousands of lives lost or forever changed during the conflict. 
    This narrative presents a firsthand account of a Marine who played a small role in the Afghan War. It begins with his enlistment in the Marine Corps immediately after high school, driven by dreams of earning the prestigious title of United States Marine and serving his country in combat. The story culminates with his reentry into the civilian world, marked by the challenging task of making sense of the profound experiences he underwent. 
    The account unfolds through a journey kept by the Marine during a significant offensive in the Helmand Province in the summer of 2009. These firsthand entries, composed by a 21-year-old, are revisited 15 years later, offering a continually evolving perspective and outlook on life. This is not merely a war story, or a detailed military operation account; rather, it is a vulnerable and revealing exploration into the inner thoughts of a young man navigating the complexities of war. It delves into what he learned from those experiences as the years unfolded.

    A beautiful memoir and a fierce testimony to the sacrifices we make in the name of love." — Kirkus Reviews, "Get It" Verdict  
     
    “An intimate and moving account of Meredith Rutter Marple’s years of navigating her husband’s dementia. Marple shows us all a path on a journey many of us will take, a path of love and strength, tenderness and deep insight.” — Lily King, author of Heart the Lover, Euphoria, and more  
     
    "I Live You For Ever ... is unique in its delivery. Meredith Rutter Marple writes about her relationship with Gary as though it were happening right now, which makes their connection even more believable and compelling." — Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite, 5-star review  
     
    I Live You For Ever is a candid and penetrating memoir chronicling Meredith Rutter Marple’s nine-year journey caring for her husband, Gary, as mixed dementia reshaped the fabric of their marriage. What began as small slips—forgotten directions, mental-math errors—unfolded into a relentless progression of symptoms associated with vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Lewy body dementia.  
     
    Drawing from her personal journals, Meredith captures the intimacy of conversations and the daily negotiations of love, anger, denial, and acceptance between partners bound together by decades of shared life. With honesty and compassion, she illuminates the dual tragedy of spousal dementia: the gradual fading of the ill partner and the parallel unraveling—and resilience—of the caregiving partner.  
     
    At once heartbreaking and hopeful, this memoir is both a testament to enduring love and a call to face the “what-ifs” of aging with courage and candor.
