National Security Mom
Written by a mother of five and 20-year veteran of counterterrorism in the U.S. Intelligence Community, this book demystifies the underworld of terrorism and offers a unique comparison of how the super-secret intelligence approach to securing the nation is surprisingly similar to how parents secure their homes and families.
Connections Over Compliance: Rewiring Our Perceptions of Discipline
The developing brains of our children need to "feel" safe. Children who carry chronic behavioral challenges are often met with reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. This book deeply addresses the need for co-regulatory and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult regulated brain and body states which are brain aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience.

Many fascinating, painful, humorous, and devastating escapades later, including a prison break in Mazatlan and her own stint stateside, Peggy finally gets clean and returns to perhaps her greatest challenge¿her aging mother on the edge of dementia back home in the Bayou, just in time for Hurricane Katrina.

The Wrong Kind of Indian
"You look something." Jennifer had heard this her entire life as a "white-washed" half-Cherokee, half-white girl in a small Oregon town. THE WRONG KIND OF INDIAN is a thinly-veiled memoir-style story of what it means to claim your identity after a dysfunctional childhood steeped in sexuality and eventual homelessness, parents who toe the line between neglect and abuse, and the flailing that occurs when you don't feel like you belong. Spanning the challenging bridge across 30 - from 27 to 34 years old - and set in the Pacific Northwest, Costa Rica and India, The Wrong Kind of Indian is a journey of cultural pride, self exploration, and search for love through Oregon, Costa Rica and India.
