Wishing your husband dead isn’t a crime…

My husband was the man of my dreams. Drop-dead gorgeous, filthy rich and a respected surgeon. When we first met, I would have done anything to call him mine. Now I’d do anything to get rid of him.

Our beautiful home might make the cover of magazines but look past the shining glass and glossy marble and you’ll see a gilded prison. From the start, Nathaniel has lied – about the man he truly is, his love for me, and the terrible things he’s capable of doing in secret.

He might be used to pulling the strings, but I won’t let him destroy lives any longer. I’ll free myself and I’ll protect our children. Whatever it takes…

Here’s the set-up:

In this world of information overload and constant distraction, parents are experiencing an urgent need for best practice models on how to raise their children based on the cutting-edge science of child development. New research shows that infants possess considerable social and emotional capacity to engage their parents in ways that run far deeper than ever before realized.

Throughout Dr. Ron Ruff’s nearly fifty years of clinical practice as a psychologist, he encountered thousands of parents with only good intentions to help their children. Unfortunately, many did not know where to turn for information, support, and answers related to raising their children in a psychologically healthy manner.

Responsive, sensitive parenting is more than just a childcare model-it is a new paradigm for parents who are ready to reimagine the nature of the parent-infant relationship, significantly boost their children’s social and emotional development, and raise their children to thrive.

Here’s the set-up:

Raised on Australia’s Gold Coast, Mellara Gold moved to Hollywood to become an actress. After a few film and TV roles, two failed marriages, a thankfully failed suicide attempt, and an incapacitating back injury, she healed herself through yoga, meditation, and living in awareness. Now a highly respected Bay Area yoga teacher and a regular contributor to Elephant Journal and other publications, Mellara shares teachings, insights, and heartfelt stories of her journey to wholeness and a life worth living.

“A Life Worth Living is a book worth reading. Not only could I relate to many of the author’s struggles, but also experienced a deep curiosity growing in me as I followed the stages of her transformational spiritual journey. Where would she take me next? This is not a book written with objectivity. It is the exact opposite. A Life Worth Living is written with a passion and fierceness that is the perfect antidote to any cool, above-it-all preaching about what happens when we commit ourselves to the path of yoga. I will gratefully carry the words of this Warrior-Princess-Seeker with me as I continue my own spiritual journey, feeling a little less lonely, a little less afraid, and a lot more inspired. Join us.”
— Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT, has taught yoga around the world since 1971 and is the author of 11 books, most recently Teaching Yoga with Intention: The Essential Guide to Skillful Hands-on Assists and Verbal Communication.

“Mellara’s book dives deep into the passage of yoga and how we can use our practice (yoga), our breath, and our awareness to create more love and peace in our lives. I see so much of my own journey in Mellara’s and suspect many others will relate to her journey as well.”
— Mariel Hemingway, actress and author of Out Came the Sun

“A Life Worth Living is one woman’s story of struggle, redemption, and deep learning. Mellara shows us how healing is possible through presence, devotion, and practical listening.”
— Elena Brower, author of Being You and podcast host of Practice You

“As she shares her engaging and often heart-wrenching journey, Mellara’s spirit rises time and again to reach for the light. Her book inspires, gently guides, and humbly reveals her own struggles and commitment to a path that she has mastered through honesty, love, and perseverance.”
— Christine Burke, author of The Yoga Healer, owner of Liberation Yoga Studio, Los Angeles

“Mellara’s love shines in her words of wisdom and practical Dharma teachings throughout A Life Worth Living. As she shares her journey with us, she sprinkles the path with supportive spiritual reminders that this life is precious and we can find inspiration and healing during even the most arduous moments. Keep this book by your side in these unsettling times!”
— Núbia Teixeira, author of Yoga and the Art of Mudras, Founder of Bhakti Nova School of Yoga, Dance & Reiki, and of “Nubia’s Devotional Yoga Online School” on Patreon

“Reading this wonderful memoir and manual of yogic practice, Mellara brings us humbly and deftly into her experience, and in so doing into our own—and we come out the other end changed for the better. Mellara’s love, light, and beauty can be felt in every word.”
— Melanie Salvatore-August, author of Fierce Kindness and Yoga to Support Immunity

Here’s the set-up:

Anna Dahlberg grew up eating dinner under her father’s war-trophy portrait of Eva Braun.
Fifty years after the war, she discovers what he never did—that her mother and Hitler’s mistress were friends.

The secret surfaces with a mysterious monogrammed handkerchief, and a man, Hannes Ritter, whose Third Reich family history is entwined with Anna’s.

Plunged into the world of the “ordinary” Munich girl who was her mother’s confidante—and a tyrant’s lover—Anna finds her every belief about right and wrong challenged. With Hannes’s help, she retraces the path of two women who met as teenagers, shared a friendship that spanned the years that Eva Braun was Hitler’s mistress, yet never knew that the men they loved had opposing ambitions.

Eva’s story reveals that she never joined the Nazi party, had Jewish friends, and was credited at the Nuremberg Trials with saving 35,000 Allied lives. As Anna’s journey leads back through the treacherous years in wartime Germany, it uncovers long-buried secrets and unknown reaches of her heart to reveal the enduring power of love in the legacies that always outlast war.
