Daisy Goodwin breathes new life into Victoria's story, and does so with sensitivity, verve, and wit. - AMANDA FOREMAN Drawing on Queen Victoria's diaries, which she first started reading when she was a student at Cambridge University, Daisy Goodwin--creator and writer of the new PBS Masterpiece drama Victoria and author of the bestselling novels The American Heiress and The Fortune Hunter--brings the young nineteenth-century monarch, who would go on to reign for 63 years, richly to life in this magnificent novel. Early one morning, less than a month after her eighteenth birthday, Alexandrina Victoria is roused from bed with the news that her uncle William IV has died and she is now Queen of England. The men who run the country have doubts about whether this sheltered young woman, who stands less than five feet tall, can rule the greatest nation in the world. Despite her age, however, the young queen is no puppet. She has very definite ideas about the kind of queen she wants to be, and the first thing is to choose her name. "I do not like the name Alexandrina," she proclaims. "From now on I wish to be known only by my second name, Victoria." Next, people say she must choose a husband. Everyone keeps telling her she's destined to marry her first cousin, Prince Albert, but Victoria found him dull and priggish when they met three years ago. She is quite happy being queen with the help of her prime minister, Lord Melbourne, who may be old enough to be her father but is the first person to take her seriously. On June 19th, 1837, she was a teenager. On June 20th, 1837, she was a queen.

Between these pages she has gathered the warehouses of the unsaid, and weaved together the voices that have remained silent in our heartbroken hotels. All the abandoned breaths that we hold on to after serving time in heart warfare never really go away. Here she offers them poetic release. Review Quotes 5.0 out of 5 stars Abandoned Breaths took my breath away By Nicole Lyons - Writer. Advocate. Columnist May 6, 2017 Format: Paperback This is a verified purchase, I preordered and purchased Alfa's book ABANDONED BREATHS but it hasn't been released in Canada yet. I have read the book twice already as I was able to see an advanced copAlfa's debut book Abandoned Breaths took my breath away and then breathed it back in through my soul. There are few writers today who can weave words as artfully and authentically as Alfa can. She has a rare gift for revealing the deepest feelings and skilfully writing them into her gorgeous prose; feelings we have all felt, sometimes without knowing we felt them until a certain word flies off the page and slaps us across the face. I expected this book to be good but it has exceeded every expectation. Abandoned Breaths is classic Alfa; amped up and full of delivery. This book is unflinching in its honesty and gorgeous in its vulnerability, but the message carried throughout the book is a message of hope, resilience, and strength. Alfa's work is timeless, and Abandoned Breaths will go down as a literary masterpiece.Each poem is placed perfectly throughout this book into four different parts. A few of my favourites are: From Squall: NOCTURNAL You have lived in the dark for so long that you have forgotten, a soul needs light in order to grow. EMPTYHow do you explainthe absence of a personto your soul? How do you break the news that it may never be whole again? From Monsoon: An excerpt from TESTIMONY "You were not singled out in the womb for despair. Roll those shoulders back and puff out that soul. You were carefully stitched together with breathtaking intention." From Zephyr: BURIED ALIVE I hope you never have to do it. I hope you never have to bury your soulmate, knowing they still walk upon this earth. From Exhalation: GRIND My soul has teeth, and there are maddening nights, like tonight, when the sound of the grinding - trying to obliterate the taste of you, and of what remains... is really just too much. Voted as one of "17 Instagram Poets you need to follow for daily inspiration"Feb, 08 2017 - @alfa.poet-- by Sydney Rappis, Bustle Magazine. Featured in "20 Quotes to live by" - TheOdysseyOnline"She's been through more hell than you'll ever know.But that's what gives her beauty an edge.You can't touch a woman who can wear painlike the grandest of diamonds around her neck." "Abandoned Breaths took my breath away" - Nicole Lyons - Writer. Advocate. Columnist May 6, 2017 Format: Paperback Reviewed by Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite 5 stars!!With chapter headers like Squall, Monsoon, Zephyr, and Exhalation, you know that the emotions depicted within them are going to take your breath away. In Abandoned Breaths: Poetry, Quotes, and Poetic Prose (First Edition) by Alfa, the author exposes some of her most profound, painful and rawest work to excise negativity and embrace self-healing. As you read the quotes, prose and poetry pieces, you too will experience changes that will help to create a new you. Words in written form can heal and if you are feeling bruised, misused or seeking to overcome any elements of emotional highs or lows, you are not alone. This book has something for everyone, no matter where your journey may lead you. Like a cat licking its paws for connection within and comfort for itself, you will be able to feel the oneness with Alfa's work and not only feel but experience several layers of self-discovery.I have read many works of poetry throughout the years and I must say that this collection is amongst my top five favorites. My attention was grasped, engaged and settled as I read some of Alfa's work, from 'It Was A Gift, ' 'Artist, ' 'Conquest, ' 'Mask, ' 'Miniscule' and 'Leaving' to 'Crawling.' Look at how Alfa holds you captive: "He was a window shopper, .....but my heart was tired of being peeked at. It didn't want to be the reason for buyer's regret, it wanted to be the reason. All his reasons." (Window Shopping). Depending upon which chapter you begin with will determine which parts of your emotions will be touched. When life happens, don't stop breathing; force out the negative emotions, circulate your thoughts, embrace the soft touch that the universe gives you, and release it all to God because only He can provide you with the serenity, comfort, and answers that you need. "Abandoned Breaths took my breath away" - Nicole Lyons - Writer. Advocate. Columnist May 6, 2017Format: Paperback Book Synopsis An exhalation of love, loss, and heartbreak, Abandoned Breaths is a poetic work of catharsis. From the acclaimed author of I Find You in the Darkness, Alfa's writing is at once deeply personal and universal--resulting in an emotive force that stays with you. This new edition of Abandoned Breaths includes an updated introduction and a brand-new chapter of modern poetry. Find respite, resilience, and rejuvenation from the moving poetry of Abandoned Breaths. There are wordsthat need to be said.Buried beneath pride and fear.Rejection has suffocatedtheir tenacity to bloom.So, they stay dormantand fester.Dwelling in the darkestand dusty corners of a crying soul.Unseen, yet felt.Not alive, but not dead.Abandoned breaths.Words that need to be said.-Alfa About The Author ALFA is a retired medical professional who has spent most of her career in Radiation Therapy.

Book Synopsis In the fifteenth century, with religious intolerance spreading like wildfire across Europe, Englishwoman Anna Bookman and her grandfather, Finn, earn a living in Prague by illuminating precious books---including forbidden translations of the Bible. As their secret trade grows ever more hazardous, Finn urges Anna to seek sanctuary in England. Her passage abroad, however, will be anything but easy. Meanwhile, a priest in London, Brother Gabriel, dutifully obeys church doctrine by granting pardons . . . for a small fee. But when he is sent to France in disguise to find the source of the banned manuscripts finding their way to England, he meets Anna, who has set up a temporary stall as a bookseller. She has no way of knowing that the rich merchant frequenting her stall is actually a priest---just as he does not know that he has met the woman for whom he will renounce his church. It is only in England, which is far from the safe harbor once imagined, that their dangerous secrets will be revealed.

All are taken on the spot of first contact." --The Economist "A wondrous mix of races, ages, genders, and social classes, and on virtually every page is a surprise." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Some street photographers hide behind phone booths like paparazzi so their subject won't be aware of their presence, but for Stanton it's precisely that awkward interaction, the tearing down of the wall between strangers, that he covets." --The Huffington Post "There's no judgment, just observation and in many cases reverence, making for an inspiring reading and visual experience." --Publisher's Weekly About The Author BRANDON STANTON is the creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling book Humans of New York as well as the children's book, Little Humans.

In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation, with the former Confederates allowed to reintegrate into American society. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased. In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington D.C., John Wilkes Booth--charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist--murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country's most wanted fugitive. Lafayette C. Baker, a smart but shifty New York detective and former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth, while federal forces track his accomplices. The thrilling chase ends in a fiery shootout and a series of court-ordered executions--including that of the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. Featuring some of history's most remarkable figures, vivid detail, and page-turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller. Review Quotes "As a history major, I wish my required reading had been as well written as this truly vivid and emotionally engaging account of Lincoln's assassination. And as a former combat infantry officer, I found myself running for cover at the Civil War battle scenes. This is the story of an American tragedy that changed the course of history. If you think you know this story, you don't until you've read Killing Lincoln. Add historian to Bill O'Reilly's already impressive résumé." --Nelson DeMille, author of The Lion and The Gold Coast "Killing Lincoln is a must read historical thriller. Bill O'Reilly recounts the dramatic events of the spring of 1865 with such exhilarating immediacy that you will feel like you are walking the streets of Washington, DC, on the night that John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln. This is a hugely entertaining, heart-stopping read." --Vince Flynn, author of American Assassin "If Grisham wrote a novel about April 1865...it might well read like Killing Lincoln." --Peter J. Boyer, Newsweek "[Killing Lincoln] delivers a taut, action-packed narrative with cliff-hangers aplenty..." --The Christian Science Monitor "[Killing Lincoln] is nonfiction, albeit told in white-knuckled, John Grisham-like style." --New York Post About The Author Bill O'Reilly's success in broadcasting and publishing is unmatched.

Book Synopsis The Bishop's Pawn continues renowned New York Times top 5 bestseller Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series with another riveting, history-based thriller. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered on April 4, 1968. Thirty-two years later, a young Cotton Malone happens upon an explosive secret about what really took place that day in Memphis.

Soon Malone realizes that the Justice Department and the FBI are at war over something else entirely: a cache of secret files about the King assassination--documents thought long destroyed. Caught in the midst of this epic clash, Malone ultimately discovers a shocking truth--one that could threaten the legacy of the civil rights movement's greatest hero. From the clear waters of the Dry Tortugas to Florida and Washington, D.C., Malone's decision to see his mission through will not only change his own life, but the course of history itself.

Breathe - by Belisa Vranich (Paperback)
Dimensions (Overall): 9 Inches (H) x 7.4 Inches (W) x .7 Inches (D)Weight: .9 PoundsNumber of Pages: 240Genre: Health + WellnessSub-Genre: HealingFormat: PaperbackPublisher: St. Martin's GriffinAuthor: Belisa VranichAge Range: AdultLanguage: English About the Book This is THE book on breathing. It will change the way you think about breathing and take you back to the way your body wants to inhale and exhale resulting in mental and physical health benefits. Book Synopsis Insomnia? Gone. Anxiety? Gone. All without medication. Unpleasant side effects from blood pressure pills? Gone. A cheap and effective way to combat cardiovascular disease, immune dysfunction, obesity, and GI disorders? Yes. Sounds too good to be true? Believe it. Contemporary science confirms what generations of healers have observed through centuries of practice: Breath awareness can turn on the body's natural abilities to prevent and cure illness. The mental and physical stresses of modern life, such as anxiety, frustration, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, high blood pressure, digestive woes, and immune dysfunction can all be addressed through conscious control of your breath. In addition, it can increase energy, accelerate healing, improve cognitive skills, and enhance mental balance.Yet most of us stopped breathing in the anatomically "right" way, the way to take advantage of these benefits, when we were four or five years old. We now mostly breathe in a way that is anatomically incongruous and makes for more illness. Dr. Vranich shows readers how to turn back the tide of stress and illness, and improve the overall quality of their life through a daily breathing workout. In a fascinating, straightforward, jargon-free exploration of how our bodies were meant to breathe, Dr. Belisa Vranich delves into the ins and outs of proper breathing. By combining both anatomy and fitness with psychology and mindfulness, Dr. Vranich gives readers a way of solving health problems at the crux and healing themselves from the inside out. BREATHE is an easy-to-follow guide to breathing exercises that will increase energy, help lose weight, and make readers feel calmer and happier. Review Quotes Praise for BREATHE: Breathe was a game changer for me and after only a short time of doing the exercises I was considerably improved. Not only is Dr. Belisa extremely knowledgeable about her subject, but her intuitive sense and sincere care shine through on every page of her book. Healers like Belisa are hard to come by, so I feel very fortunate to have found her.--Jen Widerstrom, trainer, The Biggest Loser The key to staying calm is your breathing. In this book, Dr. Belisa teaches us to breathe in a way that immediately calms us, and hence everyone around us. Simple, practical and extremely effective.--Cesar Millan, dog behaviorist and bestselling author Clear, simple, powerful - in her new book Dr. Belisa shows why everything starts with the breath, and how to improve your breathing for mental and physical health, energy and maximum performance. The ideas in this book -- and Dr. Belisa's techniques -- are a revelation.--Jason Fine, managing editor, Rolling Stone Revitalize sleep, energy and mood with this easily accessible program that taps into our body's most innate health function, the breath!--Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage Breathe is basic training for the breath. Dr. Belisa Vranich's book is a must read for anyone serious about taking control back of their health through the free medicine of breathing. I personally use these principles with my SEALFIT athletes and have seen profound results.--Mark Divine, New York Times bestselling authorof 8 Weeks to SEALFIT, The Way of the SEAL, and Unbeatable Mind, Founder of SEALFIT "Dr. Vranich has managed to lay out a convincing, accessible and friendly guide to making friends with your breath. This is the book to give to someone who suffers from stress, headaches, sleeplessness, or any of the multitude of modern day ills, yet hasn't made the connection between these conditions and something very simple: poor breathing patterns. Every single cell in the human body requires oxygen to create energy--learning to breathe more effectively may be the best thing you ever do for improving your health."--Donna Farhi, author of The Breathing Book Dr. Belisa Vranich is the real deal. Her book, Breathe, and breathing workshops are a must for everyone looking to optimize their health and life!--Michael Galitzer M.D., author of Outstanding Health We are living at a time when we are so caught up in 'doing things' and trying to keep up with the rapid escalation of information and media that we often forget to stay connected to that which is most essential -BREATHING. Rudolf Steiner informs us that the average person breathes 25,900 times daily. How we breathe has a radical influence on the balance of our autonomic nervous system, our acid/alkaline balance, our digestion and elimination, and our posture and the muscles themselves. Dr. Belisa Vranich has put together a simple, effective program to help anyone learn to breathe effectively, which is an essential first step to body-mind integration.--Paul Chek, Holistic Health Practitioner, Founder, C.H.E.K Institute Breathe expertly combines relevant science, repeated inspiration and pinpoint guidance to propel readers to develop a fundamental tool to restore their health: a regular breathing practice. With this book, Dr. Belisa Vranich lays out in plain English -- and wonderful humor -- how to reclaim your vitality and reboot your body by doing something we all forgot how to do long ago -- breathe!--Anthony J. Lyon, MD, Medical Director, The Ash Center, NYC I was smiling - and breathing! - as I read Dr. Belisa's wonderful book, Breathe. With a great sense of humor, and an even greater understanding of her craft, she reminds us how breathing is our birthright, despite its neglect by modern (wo)man. She further connects us to our breath with relevant hows and whys, and empowers us to reclaim respiration with practical exercises. A full, deep breath benefits us on so many levels; I frequently recommend breath work to patients and am delighted to now be able to recommend this book. -- Stephanie Marango, MD, RYT, founder of i.m.body, author of Your Body and The Stars Over the last few years, it's been refreshing to see some individuals in the fitness industry shedding light on the importance of proper breathing and the benefits it has on one's overall well being. BREATHE differentiates itself from the pack in its thorough explanation of proper body mechanics. I've had the fortunate experience of working and studying with Dr. Belisa, and as a result have had tremendous success with my own training as a martial artist, fitness enthusiast, and firefighter. I have also applied her methods in training clients, students, and probationary firefighters in understanding the proper breathing techniques, which has led to their own success. BREATHE will teach the beginner and the elite athlete alike how to take the necessary steps in an easy-to-understand system to feeling and looking better.--Joe March, Firefighter, NASM CPT CES MMASC, BJJ blackbelt Dr. Belisa Vranich draws on her years of clinical knowledge, skills, and insights to provide critical information in a direct way.

Akinsulure-Smith, Senior Supervising Psychologist at the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture and Associate Professor at the City College of New York and The Graduate Center, City University of New York The concept of breathing awareness may strike some readers as far-fetched and unsubstantiated by scholarly research, but Vranich will win them over with her detailed descriptions of strenuous-sounding but practical exercises to expand lung capacity and improve diaphragm strength. For those suffering from shortness of breath or ailments related to breathing or core strength, this work and its accompanying exercises depict an appealing and methodical program for improvement.--Publishers Weekly Testimonials for Dr. Vranich's Breathing Class: With her remarkable talent for making important health information poignant and practical, Dr. Belisa is a wealth of information like no other. --Lisa Oz, Radio and television personality, six-time New York Times Bestselling Author including You: The Owner's Manual series Innovative and effective stress relief.

Just spectacular!--Dr. Mathew Reid, Capt., US Army Medical Corps, Emergency Dept., Atlanta GA I left Dr. Belisa's feeling like I was walking on air.--Drew Grant, New York Observer A lightheaded, blissed-out state that, for some, borders on hallucinogenic. Even Xanax can't compare.--Katie Becker, W Magazine Successful, long-term weight loss needs you to address your stress/cortisol levels as cortisol causes your body to hold on to fat. Breathwork and meditation is the most successful way to do this, and Dr. Belisa teaches this in an easy, fast way.

Somebody's Daughter - by Ashley C. Ford (Hardcover)
Edition: SignedNumber of Pages: 224Genre: Biography + AutobiographySub-Genre: Family RelationshipsFormat: HardcoverAuthor: Ashley C. FordAge Range: AdultLanguage: English!One of the most prominent voices of her generation debuts with an extraordinarily powerful memoir: the story of a childhood defined by the ever looming absence of her incarcerated father and the path we must take to both honor and overcome our origins.For as long as she could remember, Ashley has put her father on a pedestal. Despite having only vague memories of seeing him face-to-face, she believes he's the only person in the entire world who understands her. She thinks she understands him too. He's sensitive like her, an artist, and maybe even just as afraid of the dark. She's certain that one day they'll be reunited again, and she'll finally feel complete. There are just a few problems: he's in prison, and she doesn't know what he did to end up there.Through poverty, puberty, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley returns to her image of her father for hope and encouragement. She doesn't know how to deal with the incessant worries that keep her up at night, or how to handle the changes in her body that draw unwanted attention from men. In her search for unconditional love, Ashley begins dating a boy her mother hates; when the relationship turns sour, he assaults her. Still reeling from the rape, which she keeps secret from her family, Ashley finally finds out why her father is in prison. And that's where the story really begins.Somebody’s Daughter steps into the world of growing up a poor Black girl, exploring how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her body and her environment, she provides a poignant coming-of-age recollection that speaks to finding the threads between who you are and what you were born into, and the complicated familial love that often binds them.

FriedmanAge Range: AdultLanguage: English About the Book A "New York Times Book Review" Notable Book of the Year, this brilliant, essential book speaks to America's need for national renewal, and explains how a green revolution is the only way to secure the planet's future. Book Synopsis A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year A Washington Post Best Book of the Year A Businessweek Best Business Book of the Year A Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America's urgent need for national renewal and explains how a green revolution can bring about both a sustainable environment and a sustainable America. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet--one that is hot, flat, and crowded. In this Release 2.0 edition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession. The challenge of a sustainable way of life presents the United States with an opportunity not only to rebuild its economy, but to lead the world in radically innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources. Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future. Review Quotes "Friedman produces cogent analyses of the most important developments of our time. . . . A convincing case for the green revolution required to rescue us from an unsustainable course." --USA Today "Friedman has made himself a major interpreter of the confusing world we inhabit. . . . He gets the big issues right." --The Washington Post Book World "A compelling manifesto that deserves a wide reading, especially by members of Congress." --The Boston Globe "If Friedman's profile and verve take his message where it needs to be heard, into the boardrooms of America and beyond, that can only be good--for all our sakes." --The New York Times Book Review "Tom Friedman has done it again. . . . He has lit upon what he might describe as another Big Idea, and, given his track record as a zeitgeist thermometer, we should all pay attention. . . . He has a gift for weaving anecdotes and examples from around the world into his broader tapestry." --Financial Times "Hot, Flat, and Crowded may make it official, for many, that ecology-mindedness is the character of our times. . . . I hope everyone reads it." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "Required reading" --Business Week "New York Times columnist and globalization exponent Thomas Friedman pleads for Americans to wake up to the perils and opportunities of an emerging resource-strapped world. The author comes across as a blend of Will Rogers, Jack Welch and Norman Vincent Peale--a plain-spoken citizen outraged at the bullheadedness of U.S. politicians, yet optimistic about the power of ingenuity and finely crafted policy to avert disaster." --Newsweek About The Author THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize three times for his work with The New York Times, where he serves as the foreign affairs columnist.

Devastated, Mike returns home to bury her, only to discover that the life he left behind has fallen apart. His medical practice is in jeopardy, and he is a complete stranger to the only family he has left: his precious baby girl. Worse, he learns a shocking secret that sends him into a downward spiral. As layer upon layer of lies are revealed, Mike soon realizes that the most important battle of his life faces him on the home front, and he'll have to put it all on the line to save what's dearest to him. Gripping, thrilling, and profoundly emotional, Don't Go is Lisa Scottoline at her finest. Review Quotes "Lisa Scottoline is one of the very best writers at work today. Don't Go proves it once again. This is a story that is heavily muscled, emotional, and relevant. They don't come any better." --Michael Connelly "This stand-alone from Scottoline effectively tugs at the emotions." --Publisher's Weekly "In her first book featuring a male protagonist, Scottoline spins a compelling drama that reads like the literary lovechild of Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks. Readers will fall in love with this war vet father who fights seemingly insurmountable odds, and his powerfully addictive story will haunt them long after the final page." --Library Journal "Scottoline offers readers a nuanced, multi-dimensional portrait of a young man in crisis, couched in a page-turner of a story that will appeal to her many fans." --Book Reporter "This story grabbed me from the very first chapter...This is a story about family, loss, love, dedication, conviction, addiction, betrayal, redemption and so much more. It's a bit of a: thriller, mystery, legal drama, war story and romance. It's real and human. The characters are so complete and full. These are people that I know, that you know. People that live in our neighborhood." --Crochet Nirvana "This is a powerful story about how soldiers are changed forever and the difficulties of returning to civilian life. There is also the mystery surrounding Mike's wife's death, which is well-written, and the courtroom battle for the custody of Emily, which is heart-wrenching. Scottoline really delivers with this book." --Parkersburg News & Sentinel "Don't Go marks the biggest step forward yet by this great storyteller -- a novel about war, and the toll it takes on decent men." --CT News "A deeply emotional book that explores complex family dynamics. The story powerfully conveys what it really means to be a hero." --Deseret News "A compelling and suspenseful thriller. It will keep you guessing right up to the unexpected end...I just couldn't put it down!" --Portland Book Review About The Author LISA SCOTTOLINE is a New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author of twenty-one novels.
