In this rich novel of family conflict and closely guarded secrets, Mary Cable explores dreams and fears that lie hidden deep within the human heart. Alex Smithson, forty-two-years-old and living in Santa Fe, leads an under-demanding life made prickly only by her oppressive, aristocratic in-laws to whom Alex will never be entirely acceptable. The Smithsons have always treated Alex as an outsider, despite the fact that she has been married to the older of their two sons, Oz, for nearly twenty years. Putting up with their behavior, however, is a small price to pay in exchange for her comfortable world. But Alex’s life is about to change, for her in-laws have threatened to disinherit both of their sons. Feeling vulnerable and unsure of her future, Alex is suddenly swamped with memories of earlier years of uncertainty and loss. The daughter of Foreign Service parents, Alex spent her childhood moving from one exotic location to another, learning new languages and customs but never quite feeling that she belonged. Then, following a searing love affair with disastrous consequences, Alex thought she had at last found security when she met reliable Oz Smithson. Now, Alex finds herself at a crossroads. She wants to hold on to what is safe and familiar but faces the unknown. And before she can take risks, she must ask herself penetrating questions and make difficult choices. Deftly addressing universal themes of love, family, and self-realization, Mary Cable gives us a warm, sympathetic story about how one woman comes to terms with her past and the future.
Have you ever thought you had life under control—until you didn’t? Perhaps thinking “God is in control” but living as if you are. It's like walking around with a hot cup of coffee, afraid that with one wrong move it will spill and be a burning hot mess. Then you realize what little control you have and how dependent on God you truly are. In Lose Control, Mary Shannon Hoffpauir takes you on a six-week journey through the Book of First Samuel, which is an epic story about a fight for control.

Even the worst of circumstances can be used by God to accomplish His purposes in your life. In her no-nonsense, authentic teaching style that endears her to women of all ages, Mary Shannon encourages you to lose control so that you can find your soul through a trusting relationship with your faithful God.

Absalom, who loves horses, is fascinated by the aging black stallion that Merib owns and begs his friend to allow him to take the horse to Jerusalem and put him with his father’s mares.

The three book box set of The Heart Series by Mary Whitney includes Beside your Heart, Disclosure of the Heart, and Forever Your Heart. Beside Your Heart: Late one night, Nicki Johnson plays with emotional fire and Googles her high school love, only to find his name splashed across the British gossip columns. Back in his native England, Adam Kincaid is successful and dating a woman from an aristocratic family like his own. With a career in politics, Nicki's no slouch, but she knows Adam is living a world away from her life. Yet there was a time he was no farther than the next locker. Nicki will never forget their year together in high school--the year of her sister's death, the year her mother checked out. Adam helped Nicki through suffocating grief, and she led him through coming of age. But when is a high school crush something more? Disclosure of the Heart: Sixteen years is a long time to wait for your true love to reappear, and, anyway, Nicki Johnson couldn't wait for the impossible to happen. Hard life lessons have taught her that fairy tales are children's stories, and fate is cruel. Burying her hopes, she's spent the last sixteen years focused and driven toward her career, and it's landed her with a job at the White House with a gem of a boyfriend. But when her high school love, Adam Kincaid, walks into the White House as a BBC reporter, Nicki's world is thrown into turmoil as she relives their past. Adam has come back for her, but has he arrived too late? Forever Your Heart: I'm a journalist--Adam Kincaid, BBC reporter, to be exact, so I'm not going to bury the lead. I'm about to see the woman I never got over. I know that because I've been back in America for years now, and I still don't date American girls. My dad would say I've come to my senses, sticking to my own British patrician kind, but that's crap. Mum, the psychologist, would more wisely say it’s my unresolved issues around Nicki. My teenage years are long behind me, yet my guilt over her remains. So I've avoided all things Nicki, though the irony is she's the one avoiding me. Maybe if we see each other, we can both move on. Could she ever forgive me? Can you forgive yourself when you hurt someone you love? But please, don't answer yet. I've jumped ahead of the story, and as a reporter, I should give you more background to get to the root of it all. So let me tell you my story. Then you can be the judge.

Testimonials This is a story of new beginnings after the heartache of a broken marriage and a single mother with children to raise on her own. The courage to make a decision to leave her three children with trusted friends and go afar, into the future, to gain more education and training to improve the family income. I felt the tearing of the heart-strings and the pain f separation, as she knew she could not afford to return often to visit them. Only as children can be; resilient, trusting and accepting, they patched the gaps with their faithful letters and their beautiful child-like drawings, telling their mother of their daily adventures and the happenings in their lives. As I perused this journal I was full of emotion and I can never cease to be amazed by the power of the human spirit. -Elsie Moon, retired nurse What a pleasure to spend the evening with your latest, most inspiring and excellent read. I couldn't put it down. A beautifully written novel, tender, humorous, revealing and honest. A family pulling together, an inspiration for all, and a must for my library. Thanks. Mary M. White is a writer to watch. -A. Lisa Wilflingsider I really enjoyed reading your book Hello Chicago, Goodbye Pender Island.It was very interesting reading about nursing in the small coastal town of Pender Harbour in the 1950's. It was interesting how the nurses were also x-ray technicians. Some things don't change, like the hospital boards and their budget constraints and different leadership styles. This classic information doesn't change, even today. The sacrifices that you made in order to further your career goals were incredible(leaving three young children for four months and moving all the way to Chicago is hard to imagine). The letters from your children were an added touch that really personalized the story. Your letters to them about your experiences in the big city hospitals, the kinds of patients, and their diagnosis really allowed the reader to get a grasp of what you were experiencing as a nurse. I loved your book. -Sherry Tudge, homecare nurse Mary, I enjoyed hearing from you again and getting excerpts from your book. I thought it might be appropriate to remind you of the busy, interesting, colourful and stressful days in Pender Harbour. -John and Mary Playfair Reader comments "Thank you for sending your wonderful book, and sharing a part of your amazing life with us". W.S. "I took 2 days reading your book. This is unusual for me. I truly enjoyed it". R.F. "This is a love story, plain and simple, between children and a parent. There is a bond between mother and her children that time and absence cannot destroy". D.L. "I read your book twice and thoroughly enjoyed it. That is a treasure and written to keep ones interest. You are a wonderful person". L.G. "Thank you for the copy of your book. It is making the rounds of the members of our group. I asked the first one who took it to read to come back the following week with a review. She did so, and was most impressed with the way the book flowed, and she especially enjoyed the section where your children's letters were included". K.B. "Thank you for the generous donation of your book. My goodness, what an interesting life you have led! We appreciate you thinking of the Richmond Public Library, and I am sure that readers will find your story fascinating. I am so glad you chose to share your writing with us". S.C.

Emotionally disturbing yet cathartic, this groundbreaking book by two leading experts in the field of community intervention, anger and addiction, provides a compelling expose on all aspects of bullying. Using in-depth case studies of bullies and those they bullied, Middelton-Moz and Zawadski provide a true look at the problem and what can be done to stop it. Focusing on environments where bullying occurs most frequently—in schools, homes, relationships, workplaces and cyberspace—the authors identify six bullying strategies that encourage bullying behavior and provide concrete ways to defuse tense or potentially hazardous situations. Equally important, Middleton-Moz and Zawadski explain how to reach out to bullies with the appropriate guidance and support, without which bullies will only continue to create fear and anxiety in others. No matter how hard they try, it is virtually impossible for parents to keep up with all the apps and technological changes that enable bullying to remain anonymous. To help them, the authors have included a chapter just for parents on how to monitor their children's behavior and online interactions to keep them grounded. For both parents and educators, Middleton-Moz and Zawadski also explore innovative anti-bullying programs and offer advice about which ones are really working.
