  The Road I Never Meant to Take -...

  The Road I Never Meant to Take is a memoir like no other—a poignant and transformative collection of 52 letters that guide readers through the descent into addiction and the soul-lifting climb toward recovery. Each letter is its own chapter—a standalone reflection that can be read daily, weekly, or at the reader’s own pace. 
  At the heart of the book is L, a therapist in recovery writing to a friend who understands the darkness. Through her voice, the letters explore not just one woman’s story, but a collective experience—shaped by Alanna Bell’s personal recovery and the lives of many she’s walked alongside as a therapist and fellow traveler. 
  What makes this memoir truly distinct is its fusion of lived experience, clinical insight, scientific understanding, and spiritual depth. The letters weave together research-based truths about the biology of addiction, the neurochemistry of trauma, and the impact of chronic stress on the brain, alongside the emotional and spiritual realities of what it means to fall apart—and heal. 
  This is a book for anyone who is: 
   – Living with addiction or substance use disorder 
   – Supporting a loved one through recovery 
   – Working in the fields of mental health, medicine, or spiritual care 
   – Longing for emotionally honest writing about trauma, healing, and hope 
  Written with grace, grit, and grounded wisdom, The Road I Never Meant to Take is both a testimony and a tool. It invites readers not just to witness a journey—but to reflect on their own, and perhaps, begin again.

  The Real Problems Destroying...

  Make no mistake, education in America is undeniably broken and careering off the tracks. This viewpoint is shared from the perspective of a father who had children navigating the education system, a husband with a wife actively contributing to the education system, and an entrepreneur who developed and sold educational resources to public schools around the country. These unique vantage points have provided an invaluable insight into the inner workings of the American education system. 
  This book aims to offer an intimate glimpse behind the curtains, shedding light on the multitude of factors, policy decisions, and political entanglements that have contributed to the current state of our public education system. It serves as a wake-up call, revealing a myriad of issues that the majority of parents are blissfully unaware of, issues that are quietly eroding the foundations of our children's education. In addition to the author's personal experiences, we conducted interviews with 69 former teachers and administrators to gain a comprehensive understanding of how education has evolved over the years, and unfortunately, the findings indicate a negative trend. If parents were aware of these disconcerting revelations, it is safe to assume that they would have legitimate concerns. 
  The purpose of this book is to reveal the true extent of the challenges that plague our education system in America, in the hopes of igniting a collective desire to take action and secure a brighter future for education in our nation.

  Success among Nations

  Emil Reich

  Step into a sweeping, provocative tour of world history that asks a timeless question: why do some nations surge ahead while others stall or fall? In Success Among Nations, Emil Reich blends grand narrative with sharp psychological insight to trace the forces—economic, political, intellectual, and spiritual—that have shaped civilizations from ancient Egypt and Babylon to Greece, Rome, Renaissance Italy, modern France, Germany, Britain, Russia, and the United States. 
  This audiobook doesn’t just recount events; it dissects the human energies beneath them. Reich argues that prosperity and culture rarely rise together, that geography and city-states matter more than “race,” that alphabets and institutions can change the fate of continents, and that over-intellectualization can sap a people’s will just as surely as luxury can dull its edge. He juxtaposes Carthage’s commercial genius with Rome’s statecraft, Athens’s artistic brilliance with its political fragility, Venice’s maritime ascent with its eclipse after the Age of Discovery, and the middle-class engine of European modernity with Russia’s struggle for a true bourgeois core. Along the way, he explores how empires are won and lost, why religious movements with tiny beginnings reshape continents, and how character—national and personal—steers destiny. 
  Reich writes with bracing clarity and fearless opinion, drawing bold connections between past and present. You’ll meet conquerors and city builders, merchants and monks, reformers and revolutionaries—and see how canals, scripts, schools, armies, churches, and marketplaces forged the modern world. Whether examining the anatomy of British sea power, the organizational genius of the Jesuits, the civic soil that cultured Greek tragedy and science, or the restless dynamism of America, this is history as diagnosis and forecast.

  The Bone Picker - Native Stories...

  Under the shadow of gray clouds, three children venture into the woods, where they spot the corpse of an old man on a scaffold. Suddenly a wild figure emerges, with long fingernails and tangled hair. It is the Hattak fullih nipi foni, the bone picker, who comes to tear off rotting flesh with his fingernails. Only the Choctaws who adhere to the old ways will speak of him. The frightening bone picker is just one of many entities, scary and mysterious, who lurk behind every page of this spine-tingling collection of Native fiction, written by award-winning Choctaw author Devon A. Mihesuah. 
   
   
   
  As a Choctaw citizen, with deep ties to Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Mihesuah grew up hearing the stories of her ancestors. In the tradition of Native storytelling, she spins tales that move back and forth fluidly across time. The ancient beings, we discover, followed the tribe from their original homelands in Mississippi and are now ever-present influences on tribal consciousness. 
   
   
   
  While some of the horrors told here are "real life" in nature, the art of fiction that Mihesuah employs reveals surprising outcomes or alternative histories. It turns out the things that scare us the most can lead to the answers we are seeking and even ensure our very survival.
