Before Xaden Riorson, there was Josh Walker: a deeply emotional and angsty New Adult romance from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing. Josh and Ember's rollercoaster love story from Full Measures continues . . . Josh Walker is loyal, reckless and every girl's dream. But he only has eyes for December Howard, the girl he's craved since his high school days. Ember never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army dictates-even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan as a medevac pilot.

Beginning outside the boarded-up windows of Columbine High School and ending almost twelve years later on the fields of Shiloh National Military Park, Hallow This Ground revolves around monuments and memorials—physical structures that mark the intersection of time and place. In the ways they invite us to interact with them, these sites teach us to recognize our ties to the past. Colin Rafferty explores places as familiar as his hometown of Kansas City and as alien as the concentration camps of Poland in an attempt to understand not only our common histories, but also his own past, present, and future. Rafferty blends the travel essay with the lyric, the memoir with the analytic, in this meditation on the ways personal histories intersect with History, and how those intersections affect the way we understand and interact with Place.

An NYPD sergeant shares his experiences in the tragic aftermath of 9/11 and the tireless search for remains among the debris of the Twin Towers. The morning of September 11, 2001, began like any other Tuesday for police Sergeant Frank Marra. He woke up early, brewed his coffee, and got his son Anthony ready for kindergarten. Then a shocking image interrupted televised broadcasts nationwide: the South Tower of the World Trade Center was engulfed in flames and smoke. Sergeant Marra stared in shock at what would become the largest crime scene he would ever investigate. Marra spent months at the Staten Island Landfill, where the 1.6 million tons of debris was searched for any form of evidence that could help identify the victims, including the remains of those buried beneath. Officers and volunteers worked tirelessly, often at great cost to themselves, to bring closure for so many grieving families. This heartrending story gives readers a rare and intimate glimpse into the days and months following the attack on September 11, and the stories that echo from “The Hill”—the hallowed ground of those who perished on that fateful day.

What can we do about very young children who cry all the time, or who withdraw, or who resist the very thing they need most: loving care? What can we do about parents who seem lost in the hurts of their own early childhood, and who behave in ways absolutely antithetical to their own stated parenting principles? This is the world of infant mental health, and this book gathers together 25 stories from the author’s 41 years of experience in this remarkable clinical specialty. It will serve as a casebook and guide for infant mental health practitioners, and for the specialized faculty who prepare them. The clarity and accessibility of the cases will, however, make this book compelling to anyone mystified by how our earliest attachment experiences support or confound our later development.

There are nearly fifty million Americans who are sixty-five years or older, according to the US Census Bureau. However, the reality of caring for your aging parents or yourself is becoming increasingly complicated. How do you or your loved ones navigate the future and stay happy, active, and engaged in society? Author Larry Minnix spent his entire career in mental health and aging care professions. In Hallowed Ground: Stories of Successful Aging, he offers prescriptive advice and insightful anecdotes about aging that everyone can use as we look toward the twilight years. Drawing from personal experience and more than four decades in a career in aging services, he covers the critical topics related to aging such as intimacy, retirement, and senior communities, among others. Hallowed Ground is a story collection of people who have a legacy of lessons to teach us so we -- and our loved ones -- can live the best of our last days.
