    My Song Unleashed: A Memoir

    As a child, Marnie’s unique voice earned her the nickname “The Rasp” from her dad. When other adults told her she’d never be a singer or that she talked too much, not only did Marnie start silencing herself, but she also began questioning her internal voice. She knew when she shared her truth—the way she’d done during a schoolwide presentation as a teen—it was life-changing. But more often, like many young women trying to make their way in the world, she muted and molded herself to accommodate others. It wasn’t until she traveled abroad and created a life far from home that she started finding her way back to her inner voice. And as she continued to explore the globe and connect with nature and with others, she discovered her inner voice was amplified.  
    In her memoir, “My Song, Unleashed,” Marnie Dachis Marmet takes readers through her journey of personal transformation. From the painful experiences that make her question everything to the beautiful revelations that bare the truth, Marnie ultimately shares what every woman needs to know: When you pay attention to and trust your voice, it leads you to what you truly want and value and, ultimately, what makes your heart sing. 
    Advance Praise: 
    “My Song, Unleashed’ is a delightful memoir about love, loss, compassion and finding one’s own path in life. Born into a large, well-known Minneapolis family, Marnie’s place in the world seemed almost preordained. Yet, it’s only when Marnie’s journeys take her away from her family and out in the world that she begins to find her voice and learn to trust her innate wisdom. Reading ‘My Song, Unleashed’ is like chatting with a close friend. Not only will you be rooting for Marnie through the pages of this memoir, her wisdom will help you lean into your own. A lovely read!” 
    —Kate Hopper, author of “Ready for Air” and “Use Your Words”

    When a military coup in Ghana leads to the abrupt closure of Lally Pia's medical school, she is stranded thousands of miles away from her family - and left with no educational prospects, no money, and a botched American Green Card. But a Sri Lankan priest told Lally's father that she will one day become a "Doctor of Doctors" - a laughable outcome, given her current predicament. 
    This multicultural roller coaster illustrates the power of self-determination as Lally takes on obstacle after obstacle - an abusive relationship, the welfare state and a gruesome job where she has to dismember human bodies - in order to fulfill her dreams. A searing examination of the immigrant experience. The Fortune Teller's Prophecy is a nail-biting, four-continent quest for ultimate triumph.

    What if the greatest act of love… was letting go? 
    Because I Loved You is a breathtaking memoir that begins as a once-in-a-lifetime love story and transforms into a courageous, heart-wrenching journey through terminal illness and the powerful, legal choice to die with dignity in California. 
    When Stephanie met Jeff, during a chance encounter, their connection was immediate, electric, and undeniable. They built a life full of laughter, dreams, and quiet mornings together — until a diagnosis changed everything. Faced with the cruel reality of a terminal illness, they found themselves confronting the unimaginable: how to say goodbye with grace, intention, and love. 
    This book is not just about death, it's about life. About what it means to stand beside the person you love most as they choose how they leave this world. It's about honoring their wishes, navigating heartbreak, and finding the strength to begin again when the person you thought you'd grow old with is gone. Through sharing their story, with Jeff’s blessing, she aims to open dialogue around the taboo-topic of dying with dignity while offering hope, awareness, and inspiration in the face of one of life’s most difficult choices. 
    Raw, vulnerable, and deeply human, Because I Loved You invites you into the sacred space between love and loss, courage and surrender, holding on and letting go. For anyone who has ever been a caregiver, lost someone too soon, or faced the ache of goodbye, this story will hold your heart and remind you: you can grieve and still choose joy. You can love and still release. You can lose someone and still find your way home.

    Combat biographies of seven ace pilots flying for the Nazi German air force during World War II, featuring in-the-cockpit accounts of aerial dogfights. Whether providing support for the blitzkrieg in Poland and France, bombing British cities and industrial centers, or attacking Allied fighters and bombers in the light of day and dark of night, the Luftwaffe revolutionized aerial warfare and experienced some of World War II’s most harrowing combat. For the pilots who carried out these missions, every flight meant possible death and certain danger. Franz Kurowski puts readers in the cockpit with seven of these men—three day-fighter, on night-fighter, one close-support, and two bomber pilots—who were among the most successful ever to take to the skies.
