Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise:...

Andrew M. Crusoe

The silence is over. The storm has arrived.
The peace Andrew found in the silence of the meditation hall is about to be tested by fire.
In the remote district of Puna, a river of molten lava creeps toward the main road, threatening to sever the only lifeline to the outside world. As the fire advances, Hurricane Iselle—the first recorded hurricane to make landfall on the Big Island—screams toward the coast, turning a tropical dream into a raw battle for survival.
But the most intense storm is the one happening within.
Guided by a Hawaiian elder, Andrew is initiated into the sacred wisdom of laulima and ho‘oponopono—ancient practices for healing old wounds and releasing the past. Just as he learns to find his center, a radiant new love enters his life, but she comes with a countdown.
In this pulse-pounding conclusion to the trilogy, Andrew must navigate the collision of nature’s fury and the delicate art of surrender. The Big Island offers beauty beyond measure, but it demands a final price: the courage to change or be consumed by it. To stay whole, Andrew must choose: cling to the life he built, or let the fire burn away who he was so he can finally become who he is meant to be.
✨ The Epic Conclusion to the Acclaimed Trilogy. With hundreds of five-star reviews and thousands of readers already captivated by this series, Reckoning weaves together natural disaster, spiritual awakening, and the timeless truth that love prevails all trauma.
The road ends here. Finish the journey. Experience the Reckoning.

To the River - A Journey Beneath...

Olivia Laing

An author’s walk “from source to sea along the Ouse in Sussex is a meandering, meditative delight” drawing on history, literature, and the river itself (The Guardian, UK). In To The River, author Olivia Laing embarks on a weeklong, midsummer odyssey along the banks of the River Ouse in Sussex, England, from its source near Haywards Heath to the sea, where it empties into the Channel at Newhaven. More than sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse, Laing still finds inspiration and guidance in the author’s abiding presence. Through cow pastures, woods, and neighborhood streets, Laing’s meandering walk occasions a profound and haunting reflection on histories both personal and cultural, and on landscapes both physical and emotional. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.“Magical…By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea.”—Daily Telegraph, UK
