Leave the Lamp On… By: Sue McCullough Starting in East Texas, Leave the Lamp On… is built on hand-me-down family tales and childhood memories. There’s just a smidge of actual history. It tells a story of cowardice grown into courage, which is the same today as it was a hundred years ago. If you’re a true history buff, you’ll notice that author Sue McCullough plays rather fast and loose with some of the World War I battles, dates, and geography. Much like everything in life, some events are real, others are pure fiction. Some characters have a real-life counterpart; Clarence and Emily were McCullough’s grandparents, Little Bill her Father. Vada was a dear aunt. Mostly though, it is a human story, the kind that makes each of us unique yet binds us all together. It’s up to you to discover what is true, and what is fiction.

For Stanley, life stopped dead in its tracks the day his young son was accidentally killed. His wife, Lisa, tried to push forward into the future-but her husband didn't even know where to begin. Then Charles Montgomery III appeared out of nowhere and challenged the couple to consider the inconceivable, "What I am about to tell you will change your life. You can have anything you want, including true happiness, and I am going to tell you the secret of how to get it." Will Stanley let go of the past and grab hold of a future full of love and a new destiny? Will Lisa take her friend's advice and leave Stanley for the guy at the fitness club? Or will they continue to be haunted by the pain and guilt of that fateful day when Eddy died? The Lamp brings Stanley and Lisa face to face with past tragedy and future hope-all wrapped in the gift of three wishes that will challenge you to live beyond the hurt and pain, if you just believe.

*NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Mother Teresa said, "To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it." Most women are so busy filling the lamps of the people they love that they let their own lamps run low. They spend so much time and energy taking care of their children, husbands, aging parents, friends, neighbors, bosses, coworkers, and others, that they often neglect themselves. Awareness is the first step toward solving a problem. So the first section of this book is devoted to helping us acknowledge the problem and understand the reasons for it. Chapter 1 looks at how girls are socialized, growing up to be women who put others first. Chapter 2 examines the values women have adopted in the past 50 years, beginning with the feminist movement - leading us to believe that we can have it all - all at once. And Chapter 3 explores the corresponding myth that we can DO it all.
