Mind of a Soldier: 34 Laws for the War After the War

        Mind of a Soldier: 34 Laws for the War After the War The system built you for war. Nobody built you for this. You did everything right. You served. You sacrificed. You came home. And now you are sitting in a VA waiting room with a number, filling out the same form for the fourth time, being told that the approved treatment is available in seventeen days — while the thing you came in for does not pause for the appointment. Mind of a Soldier  is not a self-help book. It is not a memoir. It is a field manual — written by a retired Special Operations EOD Sergeant Major who was the first Black Tier One EOD operator in U.S. history a — for the war that nobody briefs you on before you take off the uniform. The 34 laws in this book document what the system does not tell you: Why the PTSD diagnosis was built for a single traumatic event — and what it misses about a career warfighter Why the treatment fails 91% of the people it was designed to serve Why the civili...

She No Name

              She  No Name By Cheryl Knoll What if the deepest rupture in a life is not meant to destroy identity, but to strip it bare? She No Name  inhabits the charged space between heartbreak and awakening. It begins with a woman undone by an emotional bond she cannot explain, then follows her into a private landscape of obsession, insomnia, spiritual unrest, and memory. The book does not move like a conventional narrative. It drifts through prose reflections, meditations, and poems, letting the reader experience the collapse of an old self in fragments, flashes, and emotional aftershocks. Its world is intensely interior, but never abstract. Gardens, trees, smoke, fire, wings, stillness, and light recur like landmarks in an inner geography. A woman stands in the ashes of her former life. Solitude becomes not exile, but shelter. Forgiveness is reframed as recalibration. Even the title suggests a threshold state: a self no longer willing to...

God Made Me from Spare Parts: Modern Parables for Old Souls

            God Made Me from Spare Parts: Modern Parables for Old Souls God Made Me from Spare Parts  is a collection of whimsical, modern parables that unfold between dream and reality—where spiritual fiction meets emotional truth, and answers rarely arrive as expected.  A troubled narrator calls out to God for guidance and meets a disarmingly human deity who reframes mortality, self-worth, and distress with warmth and unexpected humor. A God who laughs. A God who crashed his plane when he was young. A God who doesn’t fix everything, but sits beside you. Written while grieving his father's death and stranded far from home, each of Tji’s parables offers a short meditation on fear, love, loss, faith, and the struggles of everyday life. With touching stories and striking illustrations, the book invites readers to pause, reflect, and see their own lives with refreshed compassion and clarity. Ideal for spiritual seekers, contemplative readers, and any...

Cry for the Children

          Cry for the Children By Donna Deal When the people meant to protect a child become the source of fear, innocence is forced to grow up too soon. Cry for the Children  opens into a world where family is fragile, security is temporary, and love is often tangled with absence, desperation, and fear. At its center are three young siblings whose lives begin to shift after their mother, burdened by limited means and impossible choices, is forced to place them in the care of others. What follows is not a single home or a single season of hardship, but a passage through places that promise shelter while quietly concealing danger. The book moves through rural Virginia with a vivid sense of place—farmhouses, cold rooms, kitchen baths, long days of labor, and the rough edges of country living. Yet the landscape is more than backdrop. It becomes part of the emotional weather of the story: isolating, unpredictable, and often haunted by the feeling that childhood...
