Moments before boarding a passenger flight on 11 May 2019 as the first officer, pilot Christian "Kit" Martin, a former army ranger, was arrested by a swarm of heavily armed officers for the murders of three of his neighbors. The arrest captured global attention as Martin's mugshot, clad in a pilot's uniform, spread across the internet, sparking a media firestorm with headlines such as "Monster in the Cockpit." A combat helicopter pilot, Kit Martin had seen his life unravel after seeking a divorce.

    While tying the bows on her wedding invitations, Kiersten's fiancé walked in and told her he didn't think he loved her, and maybe never had . . . Oh, and he'd cheated. At a place called The Magic Castle. But don't worry, because six months later, while Kiersten was struggling to pay rent, he won $100,000 on a reality show. Yes, you read that right . . . 
     
     
     
    A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
     
     
     
    Why is it that the minute you get your heart broken, whether by a boy or a dream, you look around to see everyone else is doing amazing! Because everyone else is stupid . . . 
     
     
     
    Oh, and why are they always telling you "everything happens for a reason"?! Leave me alone, Cheryl! 
     
     
     
    But also, don't. Because when you're alone, you're hit with the reality that you can't wake up from this bad dream. Why are you the only one heartbroken? The only one struggling? The only one . . . Crushed? But what if that's the stupid part? The lie that you are the only one. 
     
     
     
    In this nostalgic memoir equally cut with anguish and humor, Lyons invites listeners along on a lifetime of Crushed moments and the hope of being left in awe of the pivots she never wanted in the first place. 
     
     
     
    And what if realizing you aren't alone is the first step to one day knowing you'll be in awe too?

    This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome, dear reader, to a captivating journey through the life and legacy of one of history's most remarkable minds—Ibn Khaldun. Prepare to embark on an expedition through time, as we unravel the story of a man who not only left an indelible mark on the tapestry of human understanding but also laid the foundation for what we now recognize as the modern discipline of sociology. In the bustling corridors of history, Ibn Khaldun emerges as a beacon of knowledge, a polymath whose intellectual brilliance spanned vast realms of thought. Born amidst the ebb and flow of the 14th century, in the North African city of Tunis, he would go on to craft a legacy that defies the confines of time. 
    Our voyage begins by peering into the early chapters of Ibn Khaldun's life. Picture a young boy, curious and inquisitive, as he embarks on a journey of intellectual discovery. From his earliest days, the seeds of curiosity were sown, nurtured by a family that recognized the boundless potential within him.

    Vickie Morgan and her partner Josh had a wonderful relationship and were simply enjoying life with their son when they found out they were expecting again. Things were near about perfect and with an impending visitor coming in from North Carolina, Vickie scheduled her 20-week ultrasound a little early so they could have some privacy from her mother-in-law. 
    The scan showed a list of abnormalities and doctors at Maternal Fetal Medicine in Portland, Maine swarmed the room suggesting medical termination. Vickie asked the gender of the baby so she could at least pick a name for the baby they wanted her to say goodbye to. 
    The gender could not be determined so early and the couple assumed they were having a girl and picked the name Grace. Vickie had often seen families with children who had special needs and said “there but for the Grace of God go I” and apparently hers had run out. 
    After a non-invasive prenatal testing called the MaterniT21, Josh and Vickie found out they were in fact having a boy who had Trisomy 13 which shows up approximately 1 in 10,000 babies. 
    The strain on their marriage and their relationships with family and friends reached a breaking point over and over again. Navigating medical opinions and the stigma around children and people with special needs was at times, too much to comprehend. 
    This story cowritten by Vickie and Josh Morgan is one of hope and healing, pain and recovery. It explores the fractured relationships and brutal reality that expectant parents face when making life altering decisions that are often misunderstood and sometimes not supported by loved ones. 
    It’s a prenatal guide that goes so far beyond ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” It’s one brave couple’s account of how they handled challenges they never could have imagined.
