In this compelling memoir, Shawn Elizabeth George is transparent about her struggles with anxiety and depression, and other stumbling blocks along her journey in life. She lived with fear as her core, seeking anything outside herself to bring her peace. When she fell into her deepest pit of depression, hitting a wall with her spiritual walk with yoga, she was turned upside down. It was when she began to mingle with her Christian roots she started gaining traction back in her life. When she started infusing God's love into her marriage, parenting, finances, and more, her life was transformed. Shawn's story will encourage you to stop living defined by your struggles and inspire you to live from the inside out with love as your core.

Matthew Brennan's Snow in New York is his sixth full collection of poetry, and it brings together his best poems written during the last forty years.

Besides selections from Seeing in the Dark, The Music of Exile, The Sea-Crossing of Saint Brendan, The House with the Mansard Roof, and One Life, this new book includes more than twenty new poems.
