  Nominated for the Pushcart Editor’s Book Award 
   
  In The Birdhouse Chronicles, internationally bestselling author Cathleen Miller offers a funny and wise account of how she and her husband abandon their San Francisco advertising careers to make a radical new life for themselves in a one-hundred-year-old Pennsylvania farmhouse located in the middle of an Amish cornpatch. Part memoir, part nature writing, and part old-house-restoration journal, this wonderfully humorous narrative brings home all the humor, exhilaration, and disappointment of pursuing a “simpler” life in the country. In her sassy, self-deprecating style, Cathleen Miller puts a fresh, authentic spin on the classic country memoir and surprises us with many unique twists. Sometimes wry, and sometimes full of awe, her observations about her neighbors and other locals infuse this true story with rich texture. Through it all we witness the blow-by-blow process as she and her husband refurbish their woefully dilapidated country house.

  his captivating biography delves into the pioneering work of J. Robert Oppenheimer, from his early scientific achievements to leading the Manhattan Project and his complex legacy as the mind behind the atom bomb. 
   
  The brilliant theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer is now known primarily for his work on the development of the atomic bomb from 1942-45 at Los Alamos in New Mexico. Though fascinated by the processes that created the bomb, he was horrified by its impact and the devastation wrought on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 
   
  Chris McNab looks at the body of prior work that led to Oppenheimer's recruitment to the Manhattan Project as well as the development of the bomb itself. It also reflects on how his political views subsequently put him in opposition to the US government and military factions and ultimately ended his career as a nuclear physicist, despite his talents.

  The overall message of this book is this: Victory is realistic and within our grasp no matter the violation. As a sexual abuse survivor, I know that true and lasting healing from sexual trauma involves a recognition of the importance of both the physical and spiritual dimensions of wholeness. What's unique about this book, and what I haven't personally encountered in any other book or through any other counseling in the 35 years I've been on this journey, is that the physical is tethered to the spiritual. Not only do we need to renew our minds and recover our hearts, but we must also retrain our bodies. This book combines the mighty power of wielding The Sword of The Spirit and prayer with the physical component of essential oils and loving touch to address the memory factor hidden in the body. 
  About Corajean Blalack: 
  Corajean Blalack is a happily married stay-at-home mama of one son. From childhood, she has always known that she wanted to be an author like Elisabeth Elliot and Corrie ten Boom. Saying yes to the call of God is one of her first memories. Born into deep darkness, her home life consisted of sexual and emotional abuse as well as neglect, Corajean survived it all through the grace of God. Now, she seeks to help other women find total freedom from sexual abuse trauma. She is a veteran meteorologist in the USAF who has traveled widely to places like India and Antarctica.

  Mairead Small Staid’s debut, The Traces, is a work of memoir and criticism that explores the nature of happiness in art, literature, and philosophy, structured around a season spent in Italy and a reading of Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. 
  Poised between plummeting depressions, the author considers the intellectual merits of joy and the redeeming promise offered by the beauty, both natural and manmade, that surrounds her. Traveling from Florence to Rome to Capri, The Traces draws on the fields of physics, history, architecture, and cartography, spurred by thinkers from Aristotle and Montaigne to Cesare Pavese and Anne Carson.
