    At just 13 years old, Darnell Davis took the stand as the key witness in a murder trial that would send his father to prison for life. That moment didn’t just break his family—it fractured his sense of self, setting off years of pain, anger, and isolation. The 7 Wonders of Me is Darnell’s raw and revelatory memoir of what came after: the slow, spiritual excavation of his soul—and the courageous rebuilding of a life once lost to trauma. 
More than a memoir, this book is a healing companion. Structured around the seven chakras, The 7 Wonders of Me charts Darnell’s path from survival to self-realization—beginning with the root chakra’s call for safety and trust, and culminating in the crown chakra’s invitation to live with purpose and divine connection. Each chapter offers not just gripping personal stories, but also the insights, practices, and breakthroughs that helped him rise. 
Whether you are walking through your own fire or seeking a deeper connection to who you are, The 7 Wonders of Me is a soul-deep guide back to your light. With equal parts spiritual wisdom and hard-won truth, this is a book for anyone ready to turn their pain into power. 
Perfect for readers of self-help, memoir, and spiritual growth, The 7 Wonders of Me is a testament to resilience, radical honesty, and the liberating power of self-love.

    We take the seven-day week for granted, rarely asking what anchors it or what it does to us. Yet weeks are not dictated by the natural order. They are, in fact, an artificial construction of the modern world. With meticulous archival research that draws on a wide array of sources—including newspapers, restaurant menus, theater schedules, marriage records, school curricula, folklore, housekeeping guides, courtroom testimony, and diaries—David Henkin reveals how our current devotion to weekly rhythms emerged in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century. Reconstructing how weekly patterns have insinuated themselves into the social practices and mental habits of Americans, Henkin argues that the week is more than just a regimen of rest days or breaks from work: it’s a dominant organizational principle of modern society. Ultimately, the seven-day week shapes our understanding and experience of time.
