Don't You Dare

Gayla Turner

"Don't You Dare" is a compelling story that weaves together a current-day journey of discovery and a true-life love story between two women that took place over a hundred years ago. Newspaper headlines and stories back then didn't mention LGBTQ people. The LGBTQ community loved and lived in the background of society because it was too dangerous to do otherwise. All were hidden, just like the wedding photos belonging to author Gayla Turner's grandmother – Ruby. This unforgettable book begins with the discovery of these hidden wedding photos dated June 8, 1915. As these photos unveiled an awe-inspiring secret, Gayla Turner embarked on a seven-year journey to find out more about her grandmother and the woman standing next to her dressed as the groom.Curiosity led to extensive research that uncovered a love story between Ruby and the mystery woman in the photos. The author also uncovered a secret lesbian social club that was formed in the early 1900s by a local businesswoman. Women from as far away as Chicago traveled by train to the little farm town of Amherst, Wisconsin, to attend her exclusive parties. The local town people thought Cora held private tea and card parties so single young ladies could talk about how to find a husband. Little did they know, finding a man was not a subject of their conversations.

Heaven's Testimonies - NEAR-...

Elizabeth E James

Have you ever wondered what truly happens when life ends… or if it really ends at all? 
 
Heaven’s Testimonies: Near-Death Experiences invites you into a world that sits just beyond the edge of human understanding, where life, death, and something more seem to meet. 
 
Through a carefully woven blend of ancient wisdom, modern research, and deeply moving personal accounts, this book explores one of humanity’s oldest and most profound questions: What lies beyond the veil of death? 
 
Inside these pages, you’ll discover how beliefs about the afterlife have shaped cultures across time—from early civilizations to spiritual traditions that continue to influence us today. Alongside this historical lens are powerful firsthand testimonies from individuals who have crossed the threshold of death and returned, bringing back messages that speak of peace, presence, and something greater than themselves. 
 
Balanced with thoughtful scientific perspectives on consciousness and the human experience, these stories invite you to reflect rather than persuade, to consider rather than conclude. 
 
You’ll explore: 
• The afterlife through ancient cultures, religious texts, and enduring spiritual traditions 
• Real-life near-death experiences shared by those who have returned 
• Scientific and psychological insights into consciousness and the nature of existence 
• The deeper connections between belief, experience, and what it means to be human 
 
This is not a book that tells you what to believe. 
It is a book that gently opens the door… and invites you to look beyond it. 
 
If you’ve ever felt curious about life after death, or quietly wondered what might exist beyond this world, this journey will stay with you long after the final page.
