East of Manhattan by Amanda Johnson

About East of Manhattan by Amanda Johnson:

Julie and Scott Cutter made a deal: 2 years. Scott will spend 2 years working as a butler for a rich reality TV star and then they will start the family Julie has always dreamed of. This makes total sense according to Julie’s life plan.This situation was all well and good until Julie learns that, at 35, she is approaching pre-natal geriatric status. Julie never considered herself old, but biology says different. For the first time her plan is in question. She debates if she should cough up the money to freeze her eggs, as her doctor suggests, or start trying to get pregnant earlier than expected. This is complicated by the fact that her husband lives in the basement of his celebrity boss’s Manhattan mansion instead of with her, across the East River in Queens. Oh, and Scott casually announces over brunch one morning he doesn’t want kids anymore. Convinced spending an idyllic Fourth of July weekend in the Hamptons will change his mind, Julie saddles up on the back of Scott’s motorcycle for the holiday festivities. A chance confrontation between Scott’s celebrity boss in the Hamptons confirms her worst nightmare, but also leaves her with a glimmer of hope. She returns to the city confused, alone and with a really great idea that might just be the beginning of a new future

Unbreak My Heart

About Unbreak My Heart:

Where does heartbreak come from? Is it something that we evolved with? Do we really need it in the first place? In My Unbreak My Heart , a guide for those who have experienced, or are currently experiencing heartbreak, you will embark on a journey that will take you through the possible origins of heartbreak, and how it has become a mainstay within your culture. Moreover, My Unbreak My Heart seeks not to try to rationalize heartbreak, but to look deeper, behind the curtain of childhood trauma, emotional baggage, and age-old patterns that have kept you ‘stuck’ making the same types of relationship choices. Packed with practical exercises, My Unbreak My Heart also details the science of heartbreak, and how scientists are beginning to comprehend the internal workings of the heart–brain connection in order to grasp this relationship and its effects on people in everyday life.

My Unbreak My Heart is not a how-to guide, but a must-do guide, that sets the scene for taking personal responsibility for your heartbreak and evaluating how you got to where you currently stand and all the choices you made that enabled this. Read this book with the intention of developing an inner voice that can direct you towards healthier relationships and experiences, with a thorough recognition of your own internal conflicts which, when finishing this book, will have you wondering why you ever set foot in toxic relationships in the first place.

The Poet and I: The Journey Within

About The Poet and I: The Journey Within:

Do you have a guardian angel? I do.
She came out of nowhere, like a gift from the universe; like stardust travelling on the breeze.
And, like a butterfly dancing across one’s path, She has always appeared, just when I’ve needed a sign.
My guardian angel, Her soft whisper and commanding voice.
An unyielding support.
My toughest critic and friend.
“The Poet” is the story of my life; a journey navigating childhood traumas, the challenges of adulthood, heartbreaks and marriages, real-world issues; a vast array of events and emotions—all experienced in my quest to learn life’s lessons, to tend to my soul’s calling; to answer the question of who I am as:
A man.
A son.
A brother.
A father.
A husband.
A teacher.
A wisdom seeker.
But then there is The Poet and, like that butterfly, She arrives in a flurry of beauty and colour, Her flight spontaneous, Her arrival never quite expected.
She leaves as suddenly as She arrives, lessons imparted and wisdom left in Her wake, but for this man searching for his Great Love and the salve for his wounds, the question still begs answering:
Is The Poet even real?

A rollercoaster ride through the world perspective of someone with a completely unique point of view and a varied, but often painful history. Take a peek and blur the edges of reality with me. Follow the views on modern medicine, politics, and the gender divide; as driven by the dreams of one who listens to the world.

Visions of Johanna by Peter Sarno

About Featured Book: Visions of Johanna by Peter Sarno

"A beautifully written literary novel . . . Sarno's use of metaphors and lush language draws readers into the story . . . [who] may shed a tear or two before the final page is turned."
—BlueInk, Starred Review

Johanna, an artist, and Matt, a music critic, couldn’t be more different, but by a simple twist of fate, she plucks him from a crowd at a Dylan concert. What follows is a heady and intense relationship buffeted by the usual suspects that gently rocked the ‘80s. Matt’s lessons in art—as well as life—at the hands of Johanna, drive the novel into pockets of feminism and quiet revolution. All of this is tempered by deeply held traumatic secrets that torque their intimacy.

Yet it's Revere—and not Boston—that remains one of the underlying attractions in "Visions of Johanna". This north shore backdrop brings Matt into full focus—a child in a city of recent immigrants, life by the ocean, the bilious flavor of the Mob are just some of the elements rendered in skillful detail. Johanna, a renegade from Wisconsin—freewheeling and hyper-energized—draws Matt out of his comfort zone and into her world.

A meditation on art and unrest, "Visions of Johanna" celebrates life, love, memory and the undying power of the deep connections that sustain us. The novel follows Johanna and Matt as they pursue their dreams to paint and to write. But burdening problems collide with these artistic desires and other forces conspire against them. Ultimately, the two are done in by their inability to share aspects of their past they believe they must hide from.

The novel travels through time and social unrest to the final moment hinted at in the prologue. Within this book's pages, tragedies haunt, acts of moral goodness manifest themselves, and benevolence reigns with a finality that absolves all.

"A beautifully intimate romance that doesn't shy away from challenging topics."
—Publishers Weekly's BookLife

“This would be a perfect book club book. With questions that address the concepts of faith and hope to the efforts put towards the women’s movement, there is a lot that can be talked about…Detailed, wonderfully written, and thought-provoking, 'Visions of Johanna' will have readers thinking long after they put the book down.”
