Narcissistic Fathers: Practical Guide for Adult Children to Deal with Emotional Abusive Toxic Fathers and Recover from CPTSD
Summary
Have you ever felt the pain of humiliation from your father? Are you wondering why your father made your childhood so miserable? Do you sometimes rack your brain on why your father seems so different? If yes, please listen on. It is sad to see many children carry the pain of parental abuse until the adult stage. In the family with a narcissistic father, there is only one very bright star: him. "Dark" sun of the family, the partner, and the children exist only as satellite planets that orbit around it, reflecting their light. The narcissist father always changes personality and behavior outside his home. He can transform himself into the opposite of what appears at home. "In front of the world, the relationship with my father is perfect, but behind closed doors, everything changes." This only increases the family drama of these children, forced not only to bear daily harassment but even unable to find understanding and comfort in the people they have close to them. Children are challenged continuously through constant comparison. Generally, he elects a "Golden Child" and a "Scapegoat Child". The first is the idealized extension of the father, or "The Chosen One", the one who is destined for great awards and honors, as desired by the Narcissistic Father for himself. The scapegoat child's function is to be the container for the garbage that the narcissistic parent cannot accept to keep. Whether they are Golden Children or Scapegoats, they are sadly alone because children of a narcissistic family cannot ally with the healthy parent, as in these family rules: "If one parent is a perverse narcissist, the other is dominated by it". This psychological damage grows into a disorder known as C-PTSD “I can’t guarantee that you will definitely recover from the deep wounds inflicted by your Narcissistic Father, because I need your cooperation. Still, I can promise that this will be an essential step in your journey for healing and happiness.” (Rose Mary Parker)

Write By Your Side (A Small Town Sweet Romance)
Summary
Ellie Chambers always wanted to be a writer.
Now, she was a successful author, but it had come at a price. Two prices, actually.
The first was the fallout from a hastily-signed contract with Margo Rollings, the publisher who wouldn't die. And the second was Sam Price, her former writing partner and almost-fiance.
Sam Price had dreamed of being the next Hemingway, not the hack ghostwriter behind the popular "Lottie Long" cozy mystery series. But days spent with his dad as a sought-after finish carpenter in quaint Golden Grove, Iowa gave him little time for much else.
Now, an unforeseen catastrophe in the form of Margo Rollings, his former publisher, has left him with the ultimate lose-lose proposition: Write another book with Ellie or face a ruined career. The result leads them into the deadly world of laser-guided rosary peas and spam cupcakes.
Can Ellie and Sam put aside their differences in order to save their careers? Or is there a happily-ever-after waiting for them at the end?

Alkaline Diet for Beginners
Summary
What is the alkaline diet? The alkaline diet is based on the underlying concept that your body has a pH level that can be manipulated by the foods you eat. When we metabolize food, we are creating either an alkaline or acidic balance. Foods that cause our levels to shift to overly acidic are making us work harder to rebalance this highly regulated area. Basically, the body must always be in balance, so it’s going to do whatever it takes to maintain that balance. By constantly eating highly acidic foods, we are becoming more susceptible to weight gain and disease. Therefore, the overall goal of the alkaline diet is to consume foods that are alkaline-based rather than overloading our bodies with highly acidic foods.

Olympus Academy: The Titan's Treasure
Summary
Titans have powers that even Zeus, Lord of the Olympians, is scared of. And apparently, I’m a Titan. When I finally meet my mom for the first time ever, she tells me that I’m descended from the almighty Oceanus, drags me under the sea, and dumps me at Olympus Academy to learn to use my powers. And boy, did she forget to tell me a few things! It turns out that other than the gorgeous and mysterious Icarus, I’m the only Titan at the academy. Everyone else is an Olympian. And unless we can convince Zeus we’re not dangerous, he’ll throw us out. And the one thing mom did tell me was that if I ever go home to the mortal world, demons will seek out me and my family and kill us. So, getting kicked out of school is not an option. Even though I seem to have barely any power at all, my professor believes I can find a legendary box hidden somewhere in the academy that holds the key to finding my lost ancestor. Only a Titan can find the box, and if I give it to Zeus, we’ll be allowed to stay. The trouble is, I’ll have to work with Icarus to find it, and he is impossibly moody and unhelpful. Plus, I can’t think straight every time I get a glimpse of those piercing green eyes. Added to that, the other students are doing their best to make my life hell because I’m a Titan. It’s not going to be easy to find that box. Then, there’s the fact that even if I do find it, I’m not allowed to open it. Olympus Academy: The Titan’s Treasure is an adventure romance suitable for all ages, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. Expect action, mythology, magic, gorgeous guys with wings, mermaid shifters, sunken treasure, and a heroine who doesn't take no for an answer!
