Grace McCready was a thin, beautiful girl; but when she looked in the mirror, all she saw was fat and ugly. What started out as her trying to lose a little weight by slowly changing her diet led to her telling endless lies, starving herself, and exercising herself nearly to death. As Grace developed a relationship with Ed (her eating disorder), she kept believing lies about who she was instead of believing the truth about who God created her to be. When her family finally realized the health crisis she was in, Grace was already so involved in her new lifestyle that she didn’t want to give it up. But with the support help of her family, doctors, counselors, and God, Grace discovered what real recovery looks like. If you’re ready to discover what real recovery looks like, then this book is for you. By sharing personal experiences from her battle with anorexia and her much longer recovery process that followed, Grace helps readers see the reality of eating disorders and recovery. She discusses the truths she needed to hear during her recovery from anorexia, and she candidly shares her past and current struggles with her physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health related to her eating disorder. Her desire is for young women to have realistic, while still hopeful, expectations for their eating disorder recovery and for them to know that every small step they take in the right direction—whether in their physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual recovery—is always worth it.
A Tale of Survival is an explosive story that is much more than a simple memoir of an Hispanic woman: it is an important, quintessential American story of adversity and perseverance. This is a brutally honest and provocative tale of not merely survival but success from one who came from a time and place where success and upward mobility for a Mexican-American was not only unlikely but damn near impossible. Unlike some other Hispanic memoirs, Grace Flores-Hughes describes her childhood and transition to adulthood and beyond, against the tapestry of the modern Hispanic experience and the sometimes turbulent era of the rebellious baby-boomer generation. She writes of assimilation, racial and ethnic injustice, her role in coining of the term Hispanic, and her championing the lives of the disenfranchised before and after the civil rights movement. Further, Ms. Flores- Hughes takes you on this treacherous journey while exploring her encounters and friendships with many of America's leaders. She demonstrates in this colorful and spicy story that "Hold the Salsa" has never been her style; a story that chronicles the emergence of a child's identity to that of an accomplished Hispanic woman who rose against all odds.

Everything seems perfect in 2065 for high school senior Dorothy Parker.

We spend such a great part of our lives buckling under the weight of anger and resentment. When we realise that we need to rid ourselves of those chains, we kneel in our sanctum and declare our forgiveness towards those who have wronged us. But what happens if we discover that we’re still emotionally broken by certain events? And what happens when our bodies start to fail because we’re unable to let go of the past? In As We Forgive Those, Grace recounts how more than three decades of sometimes harrowing abuse resulted in her rapidly deteriorating health and how she stumbled on a path that led to emotional and physical healing. Grace knows that saying the words “I forgive my debtors” doesn’t necessarily make it so. To help you along, she shares some practical and useful guidelines on how to achieve true and lasting forgiveness.

A ranch girl married an alcoholic at sixteen. She was thrust into big city life, a life filled with depression and courage. What she wanted most was to be someones beloved wife and a stay-at-home mom. Women worked in mens trades during WWII then returned to raising families and what was accepted as womens work. Grace began crossing over as a girl; ranch work was gender neutral. In the late 1960s, trying to support five children, she learned how to paint houses inside and out. The early 1970s found her skidding logstwo hundred logs a day with a Pettibone Skidder. When this stopped, she tried for a job with a paint contractor. Working for someone else was scary. Could she meet the standards expected in a trade filled with men? Grace went on to become a journeyman painter, a contractor, a foreman, a supervisor, an addiction counselor, horse breeder, sales, and in retirement, an author. From racing bareback on her favorite horse over the hills and valleys in Western Montana to the Twin Cities and back to her beloved Montana, Graces path was not easy. So many decisions ended up being mistakes. Grace places seventy-six years of life in this book. Her life was controlled by circumstances throughout those years. Because of this, she wore many different hats as she struggled to survive. Eleanor Roosevelt said, You do the things you think you cannot do.

In 2002, Grace J. Scott began to receive messages from those beyond the grave. Grace felt it her duty to record their voices, their thoughts, and even their warnings. Awakening of the Soul is the amazing result. This intriguing collection of channeled thoughts from souls in heaven, other planetary systems, and other universes will benefit those seeking spiritual growth as well as those wanting information about preparing for upcoming Earth changes. Much of the material is packed with information and requires time to read and digest while other material is simple and easily understood. Presented in chronological order as received in reflexology sessions, the conversations are completely original, unedited, and unorganized, straight from the spirit itself. Some spirits channeled big lessons for the general public or gave messages to individuals while some explained disasters, politics, wars, dreams, and events in our daily lives. But all of the souls have one thing in common: they bring news that Earth is cleansing itself at a rapid pace, and they are here to assist us through the cleansing and beyond. Epic in scope, Awakening of the Soul is a vital tool for those looking to the future and to the fate of Earth itself.
Grace Coddington, the passionate and flame-haired doyenne of fashion. It is said that she has the knack of being in the right place at the right time; that she can predict a trend; turn a piece of clothing into a best-seller which flies off the racks; spot the most talented new photographers, and break out models who epitomize the look of the moment. What is certainly true is that clothes inspire Grace to tell stories; and she has told hundreds of them over the 50 years she has spent in the fashion industry with pictures realised in careful collaborations. And now, here, she tells her own story. Beginning in wartime Anglesey, Grace: A Memoir follows her trajectory from London in the swinging Sixties, to Paris at the start of the ready-to-wear revolution, and on to America in the late 1980's when the era of power-dressing and the supermodel began, and the centre of gravity in the fashion world shifted from Europe to the US. More than simply a memoir, this is a cultural history of the last half century, populated by the beautiful people - the models, actors, designers and photographers who make up Grace's world. Along the way Grace shares her forthright views on everything from plastic surgery, cats, photography in the digital era and the nature of beauty.

A superior exploration of the consequences of the hollowing out of our agricultural heartlands."—Kirkus Reviews In the tradition of Wendell Berry, a young writer wrestles with what we owe the places we’ve left behind. In the tiny farm town of Emmett, Idaho, there are two kinds of people: those who leave and those who stay. Those who leave go in search of greener pastures, better jobs, and college. Those who stay are left to contend with thinning communities, punishing government farm policy, and environmental decay. Grace Olmstead, now a journalist in Washington, DC, is one who left, and in Uprooted, she examines the heartbreaking consequences of uprooting—for Emmett, and for the greater heartland America. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Uprooted wrestles with the questions of what we owe the places we come from and what we are willing to sacrifice for profit and progress. As part of her own quest to decide whether or not to return to her roots, Olmstead revisits the stories of those who, like her great-grandparents and grandparents, made Emmett a strong community and her childhood idyllic. She looks at the stark realities of farming life today, identifying the government policies and big agriculture practices that make it almost impossible for such towns to survive. And she explores the ranks of Emmett’s newcomers and what growth means for the area’s farming tradition. Avoiding both sentimental devotion to the past and blind faith in progress, Olmstead uncovers ways modern life attacks all of our roots, both metaphorical and literal. She brings readers face to face with the damage and brain drain left in the wake of our pursuit of self-improvement, economic opportunity, and so-called growth. Ultimately, she comes to an uneasy conclusion for herself: one can cultivate habits and practices that promote rootedness wherever one may be, but: some things, once lost, cannot be recovered.
