  Have you ever held a love so precious that you believed nothing in the world could shake it 
  A love chosen by your spirit 
  sealed by your prayers 
  resting safely in the silence between two heartbeats 
  That was Joseph’s truth until one quiet moment shifted everything 
  It was not a threat 
  It was not a confession 
  It was a simple message 
  soft in its arrival yet heavy with storms unseen 
  This is where the journey begins 
  Not with chaos 
  but with a gentle turning of light into shadow 
  Not with destruction 
  but with the soft crack of something once sacred 
  You walk beside a man who loved with sincerity 
  trusted with his whole heart 
  and believed in forever 
  until forever slipped from his hands 
  You enter the quiet rooms of the soul 
  where love once warmed the walls 
  where silence grew heavier 
  where questions echoed without answers 
  You feel the sweetness before it faded 
  the sting of deception 
  the tremble of faith 
  the slow return of strength in mornings that felt too heavy to face 
  Yet this is not only a story of heartbreak 
  It is a story of courage 
  of rediscovering yourself one fragment at a time 
  of understanding how pain sharpens truth 
  how loss carves wisdom 
  how healing begins quietly long before you notice its steps 
  If you have ever loved deeply 
  you will see yourself here 
  If you have ever been hurt 
  you will feel every line 
  If you have ever risen from something meant to break you 
  this story will feel like home 
  And when life shakes you again 
  remember this truth 
  Just One Text can bend a moment 
  but it cannot break a soul that chooses to rise 
   Just One Text is not a tragedy 
   It is a triumph of the human heart

  A rich, complex and engaging account of Cook's voyages across the Pacific, from actor and raconteur Sam Neill. 
    
  Captain James Cook first set sail to the Pacific in 1768, just over 250 years ago. These vast waters, one third of the earth's surface, were uncharted but not unknown. A rich diversity of people and cultures navigated, traded, lived and fought here for thousands of years. Before Cook, the Pacific was disconnected from the power and ideas of Europe, Asia and America. In the wake of Cook, everything changed.  
  The Pacific with Sam Neill is the companion book to the Foxtel documentary series of the same name, in which actor and raconteur Sam Neill takes a deeply personal, present-day voyage to map his own understanding of James Cook, Europe's greatest navigator, and the immense Pacific Ocean itself.  
  Voyaging on a wide variety on vessels, from container ships to fishing trawlers and sailing boats, Sam crosses the length and breadth of the largest ocean in the world to experience for himself a contemporary journey in Cook's footsteps, engaging the past and present in both modern and ancient cultural practice and peoples.  
  Fascinating, engaging, fresh and vital - this is history ... but not as you know it.

  From Ashes to OpportunityI see that my purpose—my love—is fixing things. Families, after my dad left. Businesses, struggling to survive. Boats, deserving of glory instead of ashes. —Wes WheelerWes Wheeler has spent his life fixing things. From a young age, the New York native witnessed the decline of his family’s multi-generational boat business, watching it, quite literally, burn to the ground. While sorting through the ashes of the once successfully run company alongside his father, Wheeler’s future was decided for him. Instead of succumbing to the idea that businesses disintegrate and leave behind hordes of unemployed workers, their mission buried beneath burned bridges and abandoned dreams, Wheeler opted to arm himself with a work ethic built on faith, drive, and dogged determination.In The Turnaround Leader, Wheeler recounts his decades of managing projects for rising and falling companies, reshaping organizations, and restructuring business models to stand the test of time. Wheeler’s lifetime of ambition was launched during his humble beginnings as a paper delivery boy, where he discovered the little shifts that make a big difference, from the way he angled the papers he threw, to how he engaged with customers and mapped out his routes. These tiny lessons compounded over time and bolstered him while he faced difficult economic headwinds and ill-suited business leaders that preceded him, his most rewarding challenge being his leadership role during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a world where business models are rapidly changing and employment is never promised, Wheeler’s ability to adapt is both inspiring and achievable.

  Howdy! - The Minnie Pearl Story

  “Take the back roads, not the highways,” Minnie Pearl often said―a sentiment that captures her life’s winding, unpredictable journey. Born Sarah Ophelia Colley in 1912, she grew up in Centerville, Tennessee. This small-town upbringing inspired her imagined hometown of Grinder’s Switch. 
  Minnie Pearl’s big break came in 1940 when a friend of a WSM radio executive saw her perform and recommended her for the Grand Ole Opry. Her debut marked the beginning of a career that spanned more than fifty years. Garth Brooks later remarked, “When she walked out, everybody waited for the ‘How-dee!’ It’s just two syllables, one word, but every time she said it―it felt like it was just for you.” 
  At the Opry, the “Queen of Country Comedy” shared the spotlight with legends like Patsy Cline and Hank Williams. After World War II, she became a mentor and matriarch, befriending a young June Carter and warming up the crowd for Johnny Cash’s Opry debut in 1955.  
  Throughout her career, Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon skillfully balanced her dual roles as Minnie and Sarah. Whether at the Opry, on the road, or on Hee Haw, Minnie remained a trusted friend to female performers like Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, and Reba McEntire. As k.d. lang noted, “Minnie understood where country music needed to go and who it needed to embrace. She was a visionary.” 
  Rich with 155 historic photographs, this definitive biography covers the many chapters of Sarah Cannon’s life. Drawing from archives and interviews with those who knew her, Howdy! The Minnie Pearl Story, captures not only Cannon’s enduring humor and impact, but also the woman behind the laughter.
