Then, through a series of chance encounters, she meets Sam, who is witty, kind, and downright unflappable. Sophie has the overwhelming sense that she's known him before, and as a relationship builds between them, odd visions invade her mind. Though she tries to dismiss them, their persistence will not allow it.
As someone who is quick to judge others, she is intrigued by Sam's ability to accept people as they are. She begins to see him as a role model, but try as she may, his accepting nature is difficult to emulate.
Will Sophie ever be able to put her hasty judgments aside and realize not every problem has a simple solution?

Phil Jourdan’s Memoir, Praise of Motherhood, is Now Just 99 Cents – Don’t Miss This Touching Tribute to a Lost Mother, Written by a Son Whose Troubled Adolescence Landed Him in Psychiatric Wards
“Praise for Motherhood” is a brutally honest, touching, and gut-wrenching story about love, loss, family and, possibly, forgiveness” –Richard Thomas, author of Transubstantiate
Praise of Motherhood
by Phil Jourdan
“Jourdan’s soul-baring is an emotional inspiration. The author’s feelings come across beautifully, and his story is both surprisingly candid and sad. Very relatable and raw, intellectual and heartfelt, but certainly not an easy read for anyone who has suffered a recent loss.” — Clarion Review, 5/5
“Early on in the book, Jourdan writes, ‘Everyone, even in his profoundest hatred, loves his mother’. So whatever his stated reasons for writing Praise of Motherhood, the end result still feels like an incredible act of generosity on his part, affording the reader the privilege of briefly encountering Sofia, this woman who ‘was Love manifest’.” — The Cadaverine
In 2007 he formed the lit-rock band, Paris and the Hiltons. Their latest album, Reading Journals, is based on the work of William Faulkner, of which Jourdan is a big, big, big fan.
His memoir, Praise of Motherhood, revolves around the hardships his late mother endured in trying to cope with her aggressive adolescent son.
He recently launched Perfect Edge Books, a publishing imprint.

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor
How long can you lie to yourself before it all comes apart?
In 2152 the avian race is on Earth looking for something stolen from them decades ago – their genetics. At the center of the search lies the Rural Republic; a small backwards farming country with high hopes of military domination and a penchant for illegal bioengineering.
19 year old Junco Coot is the daughter of the Rural Republic’s ranking commander. She’s the most foul-mouthed, wildly unpredictable and ruthless sniper the Rural Republic has ever trained. But when her father’s death sparks a trip into forbidden places, she triggers events that will change everything she knows to be true.
As an elite avian military officer, Tier’s mission is to destroy the bioengineering projects, kill Commander Coot’s daughter, and return home immediately. There’s just one problem. Junco isn’t who she claims to be.
With no one to trust, not even herself, Junco must confront the secrets of her past and accept her place in the future, or risk losing herself completely.
CONTENT WARNING – The I Am Just Junco series is NOT young adult and contains A LOT of bad language.

Almost a Turkish Soap Opera
by Anne-Rae Vasquez
Adel and Kamil, two young, good-looking Turkish men try to immigrate to North America. Adel’s ruthless grand uncle arranges him to marry Yonka (his spoiled obnoxious cousin) in exchange for his immigration status in Canada. The problem is Yonka and Adel hate each other. The drama heats up when Adel has an affair with Nora, his beautiful English teacher which ruins Yonka’s plans. And to add to this, his best friend Kamil has a big secret of his own. How did his life turn into a Turkish soap opera?
The novel paints a vivid portrayal of the lives and struggles of young modern Muslim adults trying to make a life in the West.
“…I laughed at least once in each chapter at the adventures that Adel and Kamil experience…. very much like a soap opera, but was also like a romantic comedy in many ways…”
“The twists and turns of the plot from Los Angeles back to Turkey and on to Canada move with a fast pace… extraordinary characters and wonderful dialogue. I found this book very entertaining, sometimes sad and poignant, sometimes extremely funny.”
Anne-Rae Vasquez is an author and filmmaker. She wrote the novel Almost a Turkish Soap Opera about the turmoil of two young modern Turkish men trying to make a home in the West but finding their lives have turned into a Turkish soap opera. Almost a Turkish Soap Opera is also an award-winning feature film and web series adapted from the novel. Her other books include: Salha’s Secrets to Middle Eastern Cooking Cookbook, Gathering Dust, a collection of poems, and Teach Yourself Great Web Design in a Week.
In addition to her artistic work, Anne-Rae Vasquez freelances as a journalist for Digital Journal, an online news magazine. She also manages a web design, production and learner support team specializing in distance and blended learning at a prestigious post-secondary institution.
