Gutter Child
Summary
A fierce and heartbreaking debut from FOLD founder Jael Richardson about a young woman with the courage to determine her own future Imagine a world in which the hopeless and vulnerable are forced to buy their freedom by working off their debt to society. Imagine a world divided into the privileged Mainland and the policed Gutter. In that world lives Elimina Dubois, one of only 100 children selected as a social experiment by the Mainland government to be taken from their mothers in the Gutter and raised in the land of opportunity. But when her Mainland mother dies when Elimina is just a teenager, Elimina finds herself all alone, forced into an unfamiliar life of servitude, unsure of who she is and where she belongs. When she makes friends with Gutter children, each making their own way through the crushing cycle of the Gutter System in whatever ways they know how, Elimina will discover that the thing she needs more than anything may not be the freedom she imagined after all. Gutter Child takes us on the journey of a young woman in a fractured world of heartbreaking disadvantages and horrific injustices. Richardson’s Elimina is a modern heroine in an altered but all too recognizable reality, who, must find the strength within herself to determine her own future and defy a system that tries to shape her destiny. Jael Richardson is the Artistic Director of The FOLD literary festival, the books columnist on CBC Radio’s ‘q’ and an outspoken advocate on issues of diversity.

Communication in Marriage
Summary
In this digital age, effective communication is more important than ever before. Communication overload finds many people cruising through conversations and discussions without absorbing the nuances and real importance of what is being said. Why don't people listen anymore? The simple answer is they don't need to. Communication is transmitted through text, social media strings, email, and audio messaging. Information can be recalled at the push of a digital key. Now, more than ever, as marriages and relationships break down, the need to communicate with each other becomes vital. Research indicates that a happy, enduring marriage is based on the ability of both partners to verbally listen and respond to the words and actions of the people they share their lives with. This audiobook is a guide to learn how to improve communication in a marriage. With accessible language and the occasional hints of humor, the chapters take listeners on a journey of discovery into the art of calming the beast that, sometimes, arises in the breasts of couples facing a world of communication overload, competitive workplaces, and ever-growing financial commitments. Starting a new life together, raising a family and making life-changing decisions all bring stress and confusion. Having the ability to support and love each other through all of life's trials and tribulations or knowing what to say to a troubled spouse, can be difficult. Finding a harmonious and loving route through the tangle of rough times to reach an oasis of calm is at the heart of this guide. It’s time to take action!

Secret War in Laos: Green Berets, CIA, and the Hmong
Summary
The tale of a young Green Beret medic, Vietnam combat veteran with the top secret Studies and Observations Group (SOG) who was recruited by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Schofield worked five and a half years providing medical support for the Hmong and other Hill Tribes who fought the CIA’s secret war in Northern Laos, and was among the last Americans to leave SE Asia in May 1975. It was a surreal time and place that would be impossible to even imagine today. “Schofiled’s book reflects a genuine love for the Hmong and their culture, as well as a vast knowledge of their efforts during our ‘secret war’ in Laos in the 1960s and 1970s. Read and learn some actual facts; not overblown rhetoric from another barstool hero.” (Stephen R. Leopold, colonel, SF, USA, ret.) “Schofield’s book will be a welcome, informative addition to recent books released on the early days of Green Beret history in Southeast Asia. De Oppresso Liber." (John Stryker Meyer, author of SOG Chronicles, Across the Fence, and On the Ground)

Hellmira
Summary
Long called by some the “Andersonville of the North”, the prisoner of war camp in Elmira, New York, is remembered as the most notorious of all Union-run POW camps. It existed for only a year - from the summer of 1864 to July 1865 - but in that time, and for long after, it became darkly emblematic of man’s inhumanity to man. Confederate prisoners called it “Hellmira”. Hastily constructed, poorly planned, and overcrowded, prisoner of war camps North and South were dumping grounds for the refuse of war. An unfortunate necessity, both sides regarded the camps as temporary inconveniences - and distractions from the important task of winning the war. There was no need, they believed, to construct expensive shelters or provide better rations. They needed only to sustain life long enough for the war to be won. Victory would deliver prisoners from their conditions. As a result, conditions in the prisoner of war camps amounted to a great humanitarian crisis, the extent of which could hardly be understood even after the blood stopped flowing on the battlefields. In the years after the war, as Reconstruction became increasingly bitter, the North pointed to Camp Sumter -better known as the Andersonville POW camp in Americus, Georgia - as evidence of the cruelty and barbarity of the Confederacy. The South, in turn, cited the camp in Elmira as a place where Union authorities withheld adequate food and shelter and purposefully caused thousands to suffer in the bitter cold. This finger-pointing by both sides would go on for over a century. And as it did, the legend of Hellmira grew. In Hellmira: The Union’s Most Infamous Civil War Prison Camp - Elmira, NY, Derek Maxfield contextualizes the rise of prison camps during the Civil War, explores the failed exchange of prisoners, and tells the tale of the creation and evolution of the prison camp in Elmira. In the end, Maxfield suggests that it is time to move on from the blame game and see prisoner of war camps - North and South - as a great humanitarian failure.

The Complete Guide to Rottweilers
Summary
With their broad shoulders and muscular frames, the Rottweiler is a large breed of dog that has undeservedly earned a reputation for being scary, intimidating, and aggressive. However, they can actually be incredibly goofy and friendly, acting more like clowns than protectors. There is no doubt that they can make great guard dogs, but proper training and socialization also can make them a perfect family dog who will get along with everyone they meet. The Rottweiler history goes back thousands of years, evolving from Mastiffs who worked with the Romans. They have been working alongside people for their known history, working as fighters, herders, and protectors. Today, the breed is utilized in work with military personnel, police, and security experts. At first glance, a well trained Rottie can be an intimidating sight, due to their size, muscle mass, and serious expression. This guide will walk you through the ins and outs of owning this phenomenal breed. Whether you're someone playing with the idea of getting a Rottie, or have already embarked on your journey with your pup, this guide will offer an insight into how to create a happy and fulfilling life for you and your Rottweiler. This book will answer all your questions such as: Is a Rottweiler the right dog for me? I brought my Rottie home. What now? How can I successfully train my Rottweiler?

They can be great guardians, but the vast majority of the time, they are goofy pups that consider themselves lap dogs. It’s not unusual for a full sized Rottie to try to flop down on top of your lap while you sit on the couch, or to dance at your feet begging for you to run around outside with them. They love to play and are very trainable, simply because that training means spending more time with you. This wonderful, loving, and affectionate breed can be the perfect addition to the right home. Is a Rottweiler the breed for you? Find out inside The Complete Guide to Rottweilers.

A Musician's Guidebook
Summary
As a university music professor, I have found myself addressing students who wish to play music professionally with certain issues that do not come up in classes and too many times are learned on the job - the hard way. This book is a collection of thoughts I put together over years of performing and teaching. Becoming (and maintaining) a career as a professional musician is hard enough.
