Beyond the Song by Carol Selick

About Featured Book: Beyond the Song by Carol Selick
Beyond the Song is an autobiographical novel based on the author’s coming of age in the ‘sixties and early ‘seventies. A singer-songwriter like her alter-ego Carol Marks, Carol Selick begins each chapter with lyrics she wrote and still performs today. Taken together, the songs introduce the themes of her story and trace the development of her character as she rebels against her strict suburban upbringing to join the counter-culture in hopes of fulfilling her dream of making it in the music business.
The narrator relates her tale in a warm, vulnerable, and irrepressibly zany voice as Carol goes to school in Washington DC, drops out to take a pilgrimage to Berkeley, and eventually winds up living in New York in pursuit of making it in the music business. Torn between romance and career, she continually wavers.
Her quest for freedom lands her in a series of dangerous situations and narrow escapes: she hitchhikes in California at the time of the Manson murders, attends anti-war demonstrations that turn violent, and is nearly arrested when her boyfriend is nabbed in a drug raid.
Along the way, the narrator also meets two important guides who help her sort her priorities, take herself seriously, and develop her considerable talents: Rose, a pioneering black woman songwriter based on hall-of-famer Rose Marie McCoy, Carol’s real-life mentor; and Bruce Pasternak, a fictionalized psychoanalyst who helps her establish the self-assurance to stand on her own two feet at a time when female singer-songwriters had few role models. All inform the heroine’s lyrics and narrative voice as she gradually learns to believe in herself, discipline her talent, and turn her heartbreak into song.

American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing our Nation by Seth David Radwell

About Featured Book: American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing our Nation by Seth David Radwell
Limited time ebook price of $0.99 throughout the month of January.
An enlightened exploration of history to unite a deeply divided America
Two disparate Americas have always coexisted. In this thoroughly researched, engaging and ultimately hopeful story of our nation’s divergent roots, Seth David Radwell clearly links the fascinating history of the two American Enlightenments to our raging political division. He also demonstrates that reasoned analysis and historical perspective are the only antidote to irrational political discourse.
“Did my vision of America ever exist at all, or was it but a myth?” Searching for a fresh and distinctive perspective on the recent corrosion of our civic life, Radwell’s very personal and yet broadly shared question propelled his search back to our nation’s founding for a fresh and distinctive perspective on the recent corrosion of our civic life – and led to a surprising discovery. Today’s battles reflect the fundamentally divergent visions of our country that emerged at our nation’s founding and have been vying for prominence ever since. The founding principles that shaped the United States may be rooted in the Enlightenment era. But the origin of our dual Americas is a product of two distinct Enlightenments – Radical and Moderate.
American Schism begins with a quick reintroduction to the pre-Enlightenment Middle Ages and then takes readers on an in-depth journey through the revolutionary Enlightenment period including the eventual schism that began in Europe but then found its way to American shores. Radwell shows the impact of this schism on American history from the early expansion of the U.S. through Jim Crow and The Age of Trumpism.
In an optimistic and rigorous final section, Radwell lays out an analysis of our current governmental structure and a plan to move forward, demonstrating that it is only by embracing Enlightenment principles that we can build a civilized, progressive, and tolerant society – where Americans can firmly ground their different views in rationality.

Reign of the Buffalo: Book 1
About Reign of the Buffalo: Book 1
During the summer months, most parents living in large cities send their kids to camps or summer school. Not Wilson’s parents. For some strange reason, every summer, they send him and his little brother down South to spend time with their Grandmother, an elderly Native American woman living in a small house on the edge of a small town. No one has ever told Wilson the reason his parents continuously send the two boys there. The only thing Wilson knows is that while he’s there he’s forced to take care of his 100-year-old Great Grandmother. She’s a strange woman that refuses to interact with the public and spends all her days sitting alone, staring into the dark forest at the edge of the backyard. One day when Wilson’s Great Grandmother dies, she leaves him a terrifying gift; one that’s so powerful it alters the way he views the world – and the way the world views him. There are some things parents shouldn’t hide from their children.

Despite having more conveniences, greater technology, and more options to choose from in life, most of us still don’t know what it is that we truly want from life. We are trapped in jobs we aren’t passionate about, relationships that aren’t satisfying, and negative patterns that create stress, anxiety, unhappiness, and unfulfillment. We don’t seem to have a vision for our lives. Or, if we do have a vision, it’s very loose and we don’t know how to make it a reality. Often, fatigue, stress, life transitions, lack of resources, futuristic desires, or a midlife crisis call us to re-examine our lives.
On top of this, it seems that hardly anyone wants to talk about these important issues thanks to the constant busy-ness, stimulation, and lack of depth in our society. There are a plethora of books that touch on these subjects, but most of them fail to have actionable steps that hold you accountable to making positive changes.
For a fraction of the cost of a coach or counselor, you can go through this workbook at your own pace and in the privacy of your own home while still getting tremendous breakthroughs. You will finish this workbook with a greater sense of self-awareness, clarity, and excitement for your life ahead!

The Minersville Mansion
About The Minersville Mansion
Teresa decided she needed a change and sells her home in a small town in eastern Pennsylvania. She finds this 23 – room mansion about an hour north in the coal regions of the state. This Romanesque style mansion that dates back to 1904 was in need of some repairs. Teresa didn’t mind because she felt drawn to this house. As soon as the renovating began, they started seeing figures, hearing voices, knocking sounds, feeling of being watched, and other unexplainable experiences. It was all becoming increasingly unsettling to the point where Teresa wanted someone to come to the mansion and look into why these things were happening.
This story is the true chronological account of a three-year journey of investigating and researching the mansion. During this quest we encountered a concealed staircase and also uncovered a hidden room. Our personal experiences along with the evidence captured made it clear that this mansion had a story to tell. We set out to find the answers. While we unearthed many mysteries of the mansion, some seemed to be buried so deep that they may never see the light.
They say you don’t pick the house; the house picks you.
