You can’t dance this dance unless it’s in your blood. Claire McCall is praying it’s not in hers. Claire McCall is used to fighting back against the odds. Hard work, aptitude, and sheer determination have helped her rise from adverse circumstances to an internship in one of the nation’s most competitive surgical residencies. But talent and tenacity mean nothing in the face of the discovery that is about to rock her world. It’s called the "Stoney Creek Curse" by folks in the small mountain town where Claire grew up. Behind the superstition lies a reality that could destroy her career. But getting to the truth is far from easy in a community with secrets to hide. As a web of relationships becomes increasingly tangled, two things become apparent. One is that more than one person doesn’t want Claire to probe too deeply into the "Stoney Creek Curse." The other is that someone has reasons other than the curse for wanting Claire out of the picture permanently. Somewhere in the course of pursuing her career as a surgeon, Claire lost touch with the God who called her to it. Now she realizes how desperately she needs him. But can she reclaim a faith strong enough to see her through this deadly dance of circumstances?

On February 4, 2012, a young forty-nine-year-old female had a stroke while in a Kroger store. This was before all the ads came out about if someone can't talk, you need to get them to the ER. That was what had happened to her the day before. She then had a stroke while her son was waiting for her to bring him his treats for the wrestling tournament that he was in. Her daughter was waiting for her to come home, and she was calling her to see what was the matter. Her mother didn't take the phone with her. She didn't think she would need it. The funny thing was that, this woman was an experienced ICU, psychiatry, and emergency room RN. The things that happened after she had her stroke were unbelievable and life changing. She had a second stroke, a seizure, an inordinate amount of falls, depression, and anxiety. She had dealt with infidelity. She spent her time in one room of a large house, only leaving occasionally. It had been a difficult road, but even with total disability, you can overcome. This book is written to give others support, to let nurses know that you have to take care of yourself and you can never pray too much.

We can each change the world if only we care to listen. There is a force greater than ourselves—the Omnipotent Presence—and we have the power to communicate with it. This presence is the God Source and has given each and every one of us the gift of insight and connection to our God Voice—our Holy Spirit—but we must clear our mind to hear it. Wanting to connect to this presence, J. Lee Mayfield began his spiritual journey after attending a two-week course hosted by Ross Peterson and having later attended A Course in Miracles. Through his readings and lessons, he began learning how to use everyday tools to help calm his mind and connect to the source. Through dreams, mediations, and an active lifestyle, Mayfield slowly began to receive visions and messages from the God Source, changing the way he interacted with others along with how he viewed the world. By achieving this connection, he knows that anyone can find it while on their spiritual journey. Would You? Could You? I Can! You Can! shares reflections, insights, and teachings of J. Lee Mayfield and how he continues to connect to the Omnipotent Presence by being actively aware of the now and calming his mind.

"I had a real romance with this book." —Miranda July A highly anticipated collection, from the writer Maggie Nelson has called, “bracingly good...refreshing and welcome,” that explores the myriad ways in which desire and commodification intersect. From graffiti gangs and Grand Theft Auto to sugar daddies, Schopenhauer, and a deadly game of Russian roulette, in these essays, Chelsea Hodson probes her own desires to examine where the physical and the proprietary collide. She asks what our privacy, our intimacy, and our own bodies are worth in the increasingly digital world of liking, linking, and sharing. Starting with Hodson’s own work experience, which ranges from the mundane to the bizarre—including modeling and working on a NASA Mars mission— Hodson expands outward, looking at the ways in which the human will submits, whether in the marketplace or in a relationship. Both tender and jarring, this collection is relevant to anyone who’s ever searched for what the self is worth. Hodson’s accumulation within each piece is purposeful, and her prose vivid, clear, and sometimes even shocking, as she explores the wonderful and strange forms of desire. Tonight I'm Someone Else is a fresh, poetic debut from an exciting emerging voice, in which Hodson asks, “How much can a body endure?” And the resounding answer: "Almost everything."
