  When Sylvain Tesson left the colorful yellow houses of the French Riveria for a ski trek across the Alps with his friend Daniel du Lac, a high-altitude mountain guide, he didn't know what exactly would await him. Over the course of four years, from 2018 to 2021, they ascended high into the Alps in winter, following the curve of the mountains from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, entering into a white world entirely of snow, bitterly cold, and overlooked by an empty sky; only the effort of moving forward, one stride at a time, separated the days from one another. He thought he was venturing into beauty but he was immersing himself in a substance. In the white of the high Alps all is canceled out—hopes, fears, memories, and regrets. What did he stand to gain by inflicting this ordeal on himself? This was no ordinary mountain trek: it was communion with a substance. Perhaps his longtime dream of transforming travel into prayer would come true at last.

  Marianne Bohr and her husband, about to turn sixty, are restless for adventure. They decide on an extended, desolate trek across the French island of Corsica—the GR20, Europe’s toughest long-distance footpath—to challenge what it means to grow old. Part travelogue, part buddy story, part memoir, The Twenty is a journey across a rugged island of stunning beauty little known outside Europe. 
  From a chubby, non-athletic child, Bohr grew into a fit, athletic person with an “I’ll show them” attitude. But hiking The Twenty forces her to transform a lifetime of hard-won achievements into acceptance of her body and its limitations. The difficult journey across a remote island provides the crucible for exploring what it means to be an aging woman in a youth-focused culture, a physically fit person whose limitations are getting the best of her, and the partner of a husband who is growing old with her. More than a hiking tale, The Twenty is a moving story infused with humor about hiking, aging, accepting life’s finite journey, and the intimacy of a long-term marriage—set against the breathtaking beauty of Corsica’s rugged countryside.

  The Unindexed Mind: Footnotes from the Storm is the follow-up to the original chaos—part journal, part philosophy, part stand-up set written in the eye of a hurricane. This isn't self-help. It's self-interrogation. These are rants, reflections, and stories collected from the trenches of working-class America and the cluttered corners of a mind that refuses to be simplified. From conspiracy logic to retail breakdowns, from profound loneliness to sudden laughter in the face of it—this is not a polished manifesto. It's a footnote collection from a storm you didn't know you were in. If you're tired of curated wisdom and sanitized thinking, step inside. This book won't save you. But it might help you feel a little less insane.

  When James Wright was diagnosed with ALS, his world shifted in an instant. But rather than surrender to fear, he chose to reshape the narrative. ‘Anchored to Hope’ is a candid and powerful account of what it means to live with purpose in the face of uncertainty. With heartfelt honesty, James explores the emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of navigating a life-changing diagnosis. He shares how faith became a steady anchor, how language redefined his identity, and how daily affirmations and scripture offered strength on the hardest days. He opens a window into the everyday adaptations that allow him to maintain independence, the value of alternative therapies, and the essential role of community and family. Through it all, James challenges readers to see possibilities where others see limitations. His story is not one of surrender, but of resolve. It’s about finding peace in the unknown, building a legacy through entrepreneurship, building a resolve through faith and choosing joy— again and again. Whether you are facing illness yourself, supporting a loved one, or searching for a deeper understanding of resilience, this book offers a rare and uplifting perspective. ‘Anchored to Hope’ is more than a memoir. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of struggle, life remains full of meaning, beauty, and hope.
