Welcome to Episode #003 of the Make Peace With Life Podcast: The Angry Episode

          Welcome to Episode #003 of the Make Peace With Life Podcast: The Angry Episode In this episode, we get real about something we all experience—anger. If you’re on a journey to make peace with life, does that mean you’re never supposed to feel upset, frustrated, or overwhelmed? Absolutely not. We talk about how these emotions are a natural part of being human and why embracing them—rather than suppressing them—is part of the process. We also dive into the importance of asking for help—something many of us struggle with. Whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional support, reaching out can be one of the most powerful things you do—not just for yourself, but for the people who genuinely want to be there for you. In our Life in the Slow Lane segment, we explore how slowing down isn’t just safer—it’s a reset that can help reduce stress and bring clarity back into your life. To close things out, we take a deeper look at life itself. Are our experiences ju...

Her journey reflects the experiences of countless children whose lives are reshaped by conflict they did not choose.

The Lighthouse Lie: A Small Town Cozy Mystery with Secrets, Lies, and a Talking Dog

Image
    The Lighthouse Lie: A Small Town Cozy Mystery with Secrets, Lies, and a Talking Dog (The Sealight Cove Cozy Mysteries Book 1) She came to Sealight Cove for a quiet fresh start. What she found was murder… and a dog who talks. After walking away from the life she thought she wanted, Nora Hale arrives in the small coastal town of Sealight Cove hoping for peace, second chances, and a place to begin again. Instead, she finds a cozy candle shop, a town full of secrets, and Rufus, an unusually clever rescue dog with a habit of noticing things other people miss. Very unusual things. When a longtime local is found dead beneath the old lighthouse, the town quickly calls it a tragic accident. Rufus disagrees. And when Rufus starts sharing observations no ordinary dog should know, Nora begins to suspect the death was no accident at all. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers buried grudges, missing records, and whispers about a decades-old dispute someone would kill to keep...

Laurel's Diary: A Memoir of Trauma, Intimacy, and the Work of Reclamation

Image
      Laurel's Diary: A Memoir of Trauma, Intimacy, and the Work of Reclamation Laurel's Diary is a psychologically rigorous memoir that examines the long aftermath of sexual assault-not as a single event to be overcome, but as an ongoing condition that reshapes perception, intimacy, and moral judgment. Structured through diary entries, emails, and reflective prose, the book preserves the fragmented logic of trauma as it unfolds, resisting retrospective coherence or redemptive framing. Rather than charting a linear path toward healing, Laurel's Diary documents the work of reclamation as a process marked by negotiation rather than resolution. The narrative traces how agency, trust, and desire are slowly reassembled in the context of intimate relationships, where consent must be relearned in practice and safety is provisional rather than guaranteed. Particular attention is given to post-assault intimacy, illustrating how trauma persists not only in memory but in the body, i...

She No Name

Image
                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 wil...

Best of Friends Trilogy

Image
      Best of Friends Trilogy Book 1: Best of Friends: What happens when a family death wreaks havoc among siblings? What would you do if the ‘peace-maker’ of the family suddenly loses control? If the opportunity arose, would you agree to simply ‘burn the will,’ sell the estate and split the proceeds? What would be your response when calling the cops and being told: “We’re not coming out, unless there are bullets flying and bodies to count?” Elizabeth Caliente is faced with such propositions in Sherry Brantley’s award-winning ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy. Best of Friends has won two national awards for ‘Best Fiction of the Year!’ Book 2: Before Best of Friends: In this much-anticipated prequel to the ‘Best of Friends,’ trilogy, readers discover how the Fabulous Five group were formed in their youth, and are introduced to the unfolding of the powerful secrets binding the group together.

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

Image
            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...
