  Sandra Lindsay immigrated to the United States from Jamaica in 1986 with ambitions of becoming a nurse and living the American Dream. In December 2020, she became the first person to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and was subsequently honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 
   
   
   
  In First in Line Lindsay lays out her triumphs and setbacks as a single mother and working student who overcomes barriers. Her beginnings as a four-dollar-an-hour grocery store worker fortified her with the resilience to persevere over decades to become an executive at a globally recognized nationally known healthcare system. 
   
   
   
  Lindsay recounts working through the darkest months of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. The suffering and losses she witnessed ignited Lindsay's passion for seeing an end to inequities in healthcare. 
   
   
   
  First in Line tackles a variety of issues: bias and inequity in healthcare; chronic disease in marginalized communities; maternal, infant, and Black and Brown women's health; and mental health. While Lindsay continues to beat the drum for vaccination as COVID-19 continues to impact our lives, she advocates for improved, equitable healthcare for all people who live on the margins.

  In this unflinching, touching memoir, James LeBlanc recounts his life as a bi-racial adoptee growing up poor among the upper-crust of Berkeley, CA.

After surviving a prison riot, he realized he must change, or he would die. Full of resentment yet desperate, James began to seek God and what happened next was a series of events that led to The Miracle and a new life where he discovered the unbelievable story of his origin and the joy and gratitude that comes from second chances. 
  The Miracle will inspire anyone who desires to overcome the obstacles that block the way to peace. As readers travel through James’ journey, they will connect with him as the common emotions of pain, sadness and anger transition to acceptance, forgiveness and finally joy!

  Bardskull

  Martin Shaw

  Bardskull is the record of three journeys made by Martin Shaw, the celebrated storyteller and interpreter of myth, in the year before he turned fifty. It is unlike anything he has written before. This is not a book about myth or narrative; rather, it is a sequence of incantations, a series of battles.
  Each of the three journeys sees Shaw walk alone into a Dartmoor forest and wait. What arrive are stories – fragments of myth that he has carried within him for decades: the deep history of Dartmoor itself; the lives of distant family members; Arthurian legend; and tales from India, Persia, Lapland, the Caucasus and Siberia. But these stories and their tellers don't arrive as the bearers of solace or easy wisdom. As with all quests, Shaw is entering a domain of traps and tests.
  Bardskull can be read as a fable, as memoir, as auto-fiction or as an attempt to undomesticate myth. It is a magnificent, unclassifiable work of the imagination.

  medical journey that takes place in New York City at one of 
  the most prestigious medical centers in the world. It is always 
  a trying time when a person relies on a medical procedure to 
  sustain their lives. What goes into this type of operation is 
  astonishing to say the least. However, this journey was 
  different. What was different was the presence of my Lord

  people to guide me through.
