Stranded with Stu
Summary
"If you're looking for a great read, I highly recommend Stranded with Stu.... This very much reminded me of Stephen King at his best. It's The Shining meets Misery meets The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Check it out!" (Frank Merle, director/producer/screenwriter of The Employer)
A stranger, a boy, and his imaginary friend...
Twelve-year-old Spencer embarks on a hunting trip with his abusive father, until a tragic accident leaves him alone and lost, deep in the woods. After a horrific bear encounter, Spencer stumbles upon Stu, a bald man who refers to the forest as his domain and claims it's inhabited by otherworldly creatures he calls "the crazies". Next thing he knows, Spencer is locked up in Stu's cabin. But is it imprisonment or salvation?
Haunted by memories of his tumultuous upbringing, Spencer now has to find a way to escape from this strange man and "the crazies" and find his way back home...with only his imaginary friend Abigail to rely on.
With references to Neil Gaiman's Coraline, Stephen King's Cujo, and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Michael Ende's The Neverending Story, Jack London's White Fang, among many other literary and pop-culture references, Stranded with Stu is a heart-pounding thriller and a coming-of-age tale you will never forget.

Codependency
Summary
Do you want to learn about codependency? Do you want to learn how to let it go and love yourself again? Codependency is a term that was coined a few decades ago. Among addiction counselors, it was noticed that the caretakers of alcoholics, as well as drug addicts all had very similar emotional symptoms. Further research indicated that caretakers share traits of enabling personalities: They tend to lose themselves while engaging in the care of another addicted person. Codependent then implies that one is dependent psychologically on one who is dependent on a substance, behavior, or something else. Codependents are those among us who worry obsessively about others. Most codependents were emotionally abused as children. They were made to feel psychologically invisible, and very often, suffered various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, verbal, or psychological. The consistent theme among codependents is that they can think for others but not for themselves. Codependents pair off in relationships. It is not possible to have a codependent relationship with one who is not codependent. Noncodependents do not appreciate feeling smothered, overly relied upon for their partner's sense of satisfaction, and do not enjoy empty praise. Codependents tend to whine and complain rather than act on their behalf. They complain about how sorry they feel for themselves and wallow, sounding as if they prefer the world to see them as the martyrs they falsely believe that they are. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: What codependency is Is being a codependent the sign of a bad relationship How to recover from codependency Characteristics of codependents Tips for recognizing codependency symptoms How to gain self-confidence and set a positive mindset for yourself How to track back your codependency and understand where it all began Much, much more!

Finding Freedom
Summary
A woman from the present.... A man from the past.... A war to defy all odds. Olivia Blake loves her job. Restoring art and discovering the history behind it is a regular - and well-loved - part of her simple life. So, when her boss presents her with a damaged portrait of a British soldier from the American Revolution, she jumps at the chance to work on it. When her journey to discover who the man was is cut short by a bad car accident, Olivia surfaces in the icy waters of the Delaware River, staring at George Washington as he crosses with his army. Panicked, she flees into the woods and right into the arms of a very surprised British soldier - the man from the painting. August Bancroft has no idea the woman he saved from the American Rebels is from the future or that the man who traveled through time with her is not their friend. All he knows is he feels compelled to protect her, even if it means sacrificing his honor in the end. Torn by the political leanings of the time and his own personal beliefs, August struggles to find what freedom means for him. Threats lurk close by, though, and there is no time to argue when danger reveals itself.
