All rightWe endure so much over the course of our lives. Some of it is beautiful; some of it traumatic and sometimes, that trauma can keep us from realizing and embracing all the good we cultivate; our successes and achievements and positive relationships. 

This book is for those who feel like something in life is missing, like they want to change some aspect of their lives or themselves, but are being held back as they are denying the true origin of these feelings...so they are stuck. They may be high-achievers and externally, their life looks perfect, yet they are struggling to accept themselves, or even like themselves. They lack the tools, self-trust and personal power to make their ideal life real. In this space, Devi Brown offers help for those struggling to recognize the barriers that keep them from experiencing joy, vulnerability, and self-knowledge.

From the creator of Slumdog Millionaire—the highly-anticipated kaleidoscopic thrill ride through contemporary Delhi where a young woman has to survive her own kidnapping

Devi is a fighter. Growing up in the slums of Delhi, she has learnt that survival comes at a cost—and naturally, that means she’s made a few enemies along the way.

Now she’s being held captive, her life up for sale in an online auction, where the highest bidder will determine her fate.

With her existence hanging in the balance, Devi proceeds to give her captor ‘a confession to beat all confessions’ – as over the course of a single night, Devi unveils the secrets of her seven extraordinary lives.

Devi is the ultimate survivor – a girl from the gutters who dares to rewrite her own destiny. But, like Sheherazade in the Arabian Nights, will she survive the longest night of her life?

Celeste knows she should be excited to spend two weeks at her grandparents' lake house with her brother, Owen, and their cousins Capri and Daisy, but she's not.

Bugs, bad cell reception, and the dark waters of the lake... no thanks. On top of that, she just failed her swim test and hates being in the water―it's terrifying. But her grandparents are strong believers in their family knowing how to swim, especially having grown up during a time of segregation at public pools.

And soon strange things start happening―the sound of footsteps overhead late at night. A flickering light in the attic window. And Celete's cousins start accusing her of pranking them when she's been no where near them!

Things at the old house only get spookier until one evening when Celeste looks in the steamy mirror after a shower and sees her face, but twisted, different...

Who is the girl in the mirror? And what does she want?

Past and present mingle in this spine-tingling ghost story by award-winning author India Hill Brown.

A leading psychiatrist offers an empowering new perspective on psychological wellness, providing accessible and evidence-based lifestyle interventions that can help you improve your mental health and revitalize your life.

Mental health is the driving force behind every decision we make—how we live, work, and love. Too many of us suffer from depression and anxiety, impeding our choices and quality of life, and the numbers are growing across the globe despite the proliferation of prescription drugs. But there is another, proven, way to achieve mental wellness beyond antidepressants and talk therapy. Practicing psychiatrist Gregory Scott Brown believes that mental health begins with actionable self-care. Approached the right way, self-care is a powerful medicine that can help you improve and sustain your mental health.

The Self-Healing Mind is a holistic approach to emotional and psychological healing that focuses on how evidence-based self-care strategies can be used to improve mental health. Dr. Brown challenges the current state of mental health care and the messaging around it, showing us how to move past outdated notions of “broken” brains and chemical imbalances. While he agrees that drugs and therapy in some cases are important for healing, his personal and professional experience has taught him that lifestyle interventions are also key to sustainable mental wellness. 

Dr. Brown’s clinical philosophy supports an integrative approach that utilizes a combination of conventional treatments (medication and psychotherapy) with what he calls the Five Pillars of Self-Care: breathing mindfully, sleep, spirituality, nutrition, and movement. These purposeful lifestyle practices, backed by science and proven in his clinical practice, can be adopted by everyone. Dr. Brown’s advice and insight puts the power of healing back in your control.

Dr. Brown is a wellness leader whose goal it is to change forever how we think about mental illness and mental health, and to take a full-person approach to our overall well-being. Timely and much needed, The Self-Healing Mind is a fresh perspective that educates and empowers patients to find the mental health care they need.

Yoshon Santana once ruled Brownsville, Brooklyn with an iron fist. When his fiancée fell ill, he stepped back and allowed his sister, Yolani, to take his place. After her death, the streets no longer fulfilled him. The same streets he gave everything to seemed to offer him nothing in return. From a distance, he now watches as Yolani runs things his way.

With a possible girlfriend on the horizon, Yoshon finds himself wanting something different. At thirty-eight, he is ready for a wife, children, and the white picket fence surrounding his mansion. Every woman he meets fails to hold his interest until one night during one of New York's infamous blizzards. He comes across a woman and her young son sleeping in a car. Offering his help to the beautiful stranger changes his life, though he does not realize it at the time.

Twenty-five-year-old Golden was once accustomed to cars, mansions, and money. That life came crashing down when her husband, Grand, decided she deserved bruises to match the luxury he provided. After packing up and disappearing with her son, Golden returns to her hometown, hoping to reconnect with the grandmother she left behind. When things do not go as planned, she finds herself working two jobs, washing up in public restrooms, and sleeping in her 2004 Nissan Maxima with her seven-year-old son, Gyan.

There is no such thing as a guardian angel, especially one wearing Timberlands and driving a Tesla. The question is, will Golden lower her guard and pride enough to accept Yoshon's help, or will she continue struggling on the same Brownsville streets she once escaped?

Hazel is married to Yolani and loves her wife deeply. What she cannot tolerate is the constant disrespect and Yolani's unwavering loyalty to the streets. Hazel is tired of coming second to the life Yolani refuses to leave behind. While running her nail shop, an old boyfriend resurfaces and begins to complicate things. Will Hazel turn back to her past, or will she fight for the marriage she vowed to protect?

Yolani stepped into her brother's size thirteen Timberlands and runs the streets the way she sees fit. With a frustrated wife at home, women constantly within reach, and more money than she can spend, settling down is the last thing on her mind. What she has yet to understand is that the same streets she controls are the same ones that can swallow you whole. With a secret weighing on her, will the truth finally come to light? And when it does, will Hazel remain by her side, or walk away in search of the love she truly deserves?
