Captured from the rich oral and written history of her extended family, Grace's story gives us unique insight into a lost era of hardy pioneers of 1820 settler origin whose influence and legacy have left an indelible impression on the multicultural South African of today. Letters, articles, and newspaper excerpts offer fascinating personal accounts of those turbulent times in the Transkei of the 1800s and early 1900s. Included is a letter written by her grandfather, detailing his dealings with Mhlonhlo, the powerful Pondo chief of the time and an antecedent of the great Nelson Mandela whose kraal was situated not far from many of the events described in this book. This is also the uplifting story of an inquisitive, courageous, and intrepid woman making her way in the dynamically changing world of twentieth and twenty-first century South Africa. In short, it is, as the title states, Our Story.

Never a Duke

By: Grace Burrowes

A proper lady must choose between society or the untitled gentleman who has stolen her heart in this captivating Regency romance perfect for fans of Bridgerton. Ned Wentworth will be forever grateful to the family that plucked him from the streets and gave him a home, even though polite society still whispers years later about his questionable past. Precisely because of Ned’s connections in low places, Lady Rosalind Kinwood approaches him to help her find a lady’s maid who has disappeared. Rosalind is too opinionated—and too intelligent—and has frequently suffered judgment at the hands of polite society. Despite her family’s disdain for Ned, Rosalind finds he listens to her and respects her. Then too, his kisses are exquisite. As the investigation of the missing maids becomes more dangerous, both Ned and Rosalind will have to risk everything—including their hearts—if they are to share the happily ever after that Mayfair’s matchmakers have begrudged them both.

Time to Reconcile

The Odyssey of a Southern Baptist

By: Grace Bryan Holmes

Grace Bryan Holmes was born in rural Georgia in 1919. During a troubled childhood, she frequently found solace in the black servants who cared for her family part-time. After the death of one of these servants, she resolved to help the woman's surviving children and grandchildren. Over the course of her life, this commitment altered her perspective on the racial prejudice so prevalent in her community. She shouldered the burden of her growing awareness through many years of service as the wife of a rising Baptist minister, until the gradual assertion of the convictions she had formed in silence brought her into direct conflict with prevailing social attitudes, her strong-willed mother, and her husband's congregation. Time to Reconcile is a redemptive account of a southern woman's struggle to free herself from the legacies of prejudice, parental domination, paternalism, and class-consciousness that had defined her life and constricted her thinking. Holmes's vividly detailed and extraordinarily honest recollections offer a refreshingly candid look at the fabric of southern society in the mid-twentieth century.

Mindful Relationships

Seven Skills for Success

By: B Grace Bullock

Human existence depends on relationships. Our brains rely on interconnected neural networks to function. Our minds relentlessly encode complex matrices of meaning to make sense of the world. And our physical and psychological development is contingent on the social bonds we share with others. Mindful Relationships: The Seven Skills for Success integrates the science of mind, body and brain to reveal how stress undermines these relationships, and what we can do about it. Chronic stress threatens our wellbeing and relationship success by creating systemic dysregulation of the mind, body and brain. This dysregulation leaves us relying on primal defense strategies like aggression and withdrawal, and inhibits key cognitive-behavioral capacities essential to relationship success such as accurate appraisal, effective coping, and coherent communication. The inspirational and accessible book introduces the BREATHE model - an evidence-rich approach that synthesizes the science of mind, body and brain to alleviate stress, increase self-awareness, self-regulation, and emotional intelligence, and cultivate resilient social bonds. These Seven Skills are essential tools for creating and maintaining a healthy, harmonious, and successful relationship with yourself and others. Filled with sound science, engaging stories and experiential exercises, this book is bound to change the way that you relate to your life and those in it.

Courage Rises From The Ashes

By: Hannah Lynn Grace

America is a land that drew families away from their native countries, many seeking to escape the turmoil of war and strife, others from overcrowding, poverty, famine, or pestilence. Follow the lives of three families living in a small town in rural Minnesota, where second and third generations plus new arrivals are paving a new way of life but still holding tight to the traditions and history of their ancestors. They share friendship and faith during the 1930s, when prohibition followed with the depression are woven into their life experiences. They led rich, full lives filled with laughter and sharing in spite of these adversities. Parents and grandparents were thankful that the children could grow up free from the fear and turmoil of war. They were grateful that they had found peace and the space for their families to not only grow but to excel in the peace and beauty of the Minnesota landscape. They were thankful that they had found the strength, courage, and fortitude to leave their ancestral homes to forge new lives, and that they had found . . . the courage to rise from the ashes.

State of the Heart

A Medical Tourist's True Story of Lifesaving Surgery in India

By: Maggi Ann Grace

In 2004, at the age of fifty-three, self-employed contractor Howard Stabb learns that a leaking mitral valve in his heart needs to be repaired. Left untreated, his doctors tell Stabb, his condition may kill him at any moment. The procedure to repair the heart valve costs at least $200,000 at the Durham Regional Hospital near Stabb's North Carolina home-if there are no complications. Before the hospital will even admit Stabb, they demand a $50,000 deposit, money that Stabb and his partner, author Maggi Grace, do not have. Seeking some alternative that might allow him to undergo the life-saving treatment, Stabb implores the hospital to charge him the discounted rate available to insurance companies. The hospital refuses. Because his condition is already diagnosed, Stabb is ineligible for private medical insurance, and he earns too much money to qualify for state medical assistance. And he certainly can't scrape together $200,000 in his condition. As Stabb and Grace frantically search for solutions, Grace's son, a medical student who has spent time working in hospitals in India, recommends that they contact the Escorts Heart Institute in New Delhi. When they do, they learn that the institute can perform the procedure. And the cost for the surgery and aftercare? Only $10,000. This gripping memoir describes Stabb and Grace's experiences from the initial diagnosis through their trek to India, the operation Stabb undergoes, and the chilling dangers he faces after the surgery. In an afterword, the book offers resources for readers considering overseas health care, including hospital recommendations, visa and inoculation information, and things to look for when choosing an overseas health care provider.
