"I was consumed with doubt….I couldn’t shake the feeling that had been trailing me since my son’s birth: that everyone but me enjoyed being a mom. Again, I would hear complaints about the amount of work and lack of sleep, but, to a person, everyone seemed confident that they’d made the right choice in having children, that they couldn’t imagine their lives otherwise. Was I the only one who doubted it? Was I the only one who wondered what I would do if someone had come to me with a time machine and said, 'You can go back and make a different choice'?" In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Laura Ann Mullane explores her decision to have children in spite of her many doubts, and the struggle to come to terms with her new role as Mom after her son and daughter are born. At turns both laugh-out-loud funny and gut wrenching, she explores everything from the high-pressure Perfect Mothers’ Club of the Washington, D.C., suburbs, to the guilt and shame that plagued her as she navigated her children’s tantrums and the constant demands of motherhood. A book that should be on the shelf of every person who has struggled with the decision whether to have kids, and every parent who has simultaneously loved their children and fantasized about life without them, this memoir goes straight to the core.

Aspen Pacific, a seventeen-year-old not-so-average girl, and her younger sister Ragan are determined to find the legendary Seraph, an immortal, medieval alchemist that resides in the furthest reaches of the mystical world of Ragnfrid-Taron. He is rumored to be one of the most ancient, all-powerful alchemists, and he is the sisters’ only hope for learning the craft.Shrouded in naiveté and ignorance, Aspen must learn the whirlwind of truths and discover the many hidden secrets that exist in this supernatural place. No one is entirely who she thinks, and mistakes and choices from the past rarely remain unknown forever. Many are blinded by their greed for gold and their desire for immortality, but there are still good souls in Ragnfrid-Taron. As clashing worlds collide, dangerous enemies, unexpected alliances, and shimmering portals are revealed. Dark beings known as tempests threaten the very existence of alchemists, while guardian angels known as messengers use their psychic foresight to deliver prophecies and warnings. Filled with romance, deceit, fantasy, near-death encounters, and medieval chemistry, this eye-opening novel stretches the limits of your imagination. The quest for the Philosopher’s Stone, a mysterious, ethereal creation that allows for the “perfecting” of metals into gold, is a wild one.

If you think back to your childhood, can you remember a challenging situation when you thought – at that time – that you would never get through it? Perhaps, you didn’t tell your parents, or even if you did, you still felt you were in it alone. Maybe you said a prayer or just wished the whole stressful situation would go away? Some might say that praying or asking for spiritual help is futile. But I say otherwise. What better way to introduce the young, curious reader to the spiritual world than through an insightful, yet entertaining Chapter Book? It not only educates the readers, but does so by allowing them to observe how one child, named Julian, gets through a childhood crisis with the help from his newly-appointed guardian angel, named Ariel.Ariel's Angel Assignment is a fictional children’s chapter book that incorporates well-accepted beliefs of Angels and Archangels in a fantastical, whimsical story about a young boy who grows through interaction with his angel. It also provides the reader with some fundamental information around the spiritual world and of Angels themselves. This inspirational read will leave the reader pondering about the Angelic realm and beyond.
