What to Expect When You're No Longer Expecting When your baby dies, you find yourself in a life you never expected. And even though pregnancy and infant loss are common, they're not common to you. Instead, you feel like a stranger in your own body, surrounded by well-meaning people who often don't know how to support you. What you need during this time is not a book offering easy answers. You need a safe place to help you navigate what comes next, such as: · Coping with a postpartum body without a baby in your arms. · Facing social isolation and grief invalidation. · Wrestling with faith when you feel let down by God. · Dealing with the overwhelming process of making everyday decisions. · Learning to move forward after loss. · Creating a legacy for your child. In Unexpecting, bereaved mom Rachel Lewis is the friend you never knew you'd need, walking you through the unique grief of baby loss. When nothing about life after loss makes sense . . . this book will. "The guide that all parents experiencing pregnancy loss need when leaving the hospital grief-stricken, without a baby in their arms."--LINDSEY M. HENKE, founder of Pregnancy After Loss Support

With witty banter, relatable characters, and eye-opening spice, debut novelist Rachel Lewis takes us to the small college town of Sassafrass, Mass where love is about to be in the spotlight. "Yours, Unexpectedly" strikes all the right chords, blending the thrill of a first crush with the maturity of second chances. Bex Bardot is in the final semester of her senior year at Hawthorne University. She's so close to graduation, she can taste it. The only hitch in her plans? A missing fine arts credit in the form of Introduction to Acting, TA'd by none other than Anders Olsson - her brother's best friend and roommate, and her not-so-secret teenage crush. Anders Olsson has finally put some of the pieces of his life back together after a failed attempt at a Broadway career delivered him to rock bottom. He's going to therapy, he's found a way to use his ADHD to his advantage, and he's embraced a life of sobriety. The only thing with the potential to derail his perfectly rebuilt life? A run-in with Bex Bardot - his best friend's little sister and someone he's intentionally avoided since coming back to Hawthorne. Now that Bex and Anders are forced to spend more time together, buried feelings are returning to the surface. Can Anders convince Bex that he's a changed man? Can Bex learn to accept the love she deserves? They'll have to trust each other if they ever want their relationship to take center stage.

The Great Salt Lake is a remnant of an ancient lake that was almost as long as the State of Utah. What mysteries does it hold in its briny waters? What secrets lurk in its murky shores? …a malevolent spirit haunts a pregnant woman, luring her ever closer to the salty depths, yet what it wants is much more horrifying than death… …the inversion and smog in the Salt Lake Valley carries more than just bad air… …two locals find more than they bargain for when they unearth an ancient box buried in the salt-caked muck… …a trip to Wendover turns deadly when something decides to tag along for the ride… …a young girl hears voices in her head, voices that keep her company. But there’s something else in the void of her psyche, something that’s growing stronger, something that wants out… Whether its mystery, apparitions, ancient curses, or a modern day apocalypse, one thing holds all these tales together: The Great Salt Lake. Nestled inside the second anthology of Utah horror, are tales intended to delight a wide range of readers, everything from traditional horror, to romance, comedy and young adult.

A memoir of the early days of independence in Zimbabwe, recalled by a Quaker working in a Jesuit mission.

Her detailed story of daily life in the desperate cycle of addiction, and resilience in triumph provide an eye opening perspective and hope for those still struggling."--Page [4] of cover.
