 Forest Epiphany, A Lone Hiker's Tale

Forest Epiphany, A Lone Hiker’s Tale, takes the reader with Paige as she counts down the months, and then weeks, and then days until her eagerly awaited annual birthday weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains. Paige strives to excel in her legal career but at the same time, she is trying to find peace within herself while living a big city lifestyle. Paige’s hectic daily life in Florida makes her long for her yearly forest getaway all the more.

The style of writing leads the reader to physically experience Paige’s hikes with her, with vivid descriptions of the sights, smells, and sounds, as well as the people and animals that she encounters along the way. The novel transitions from causing outright laughter to inspiring the reader’s introspection about the search for fulfillment in their own everyday lives. Although a leisurely and upbeat read, in the end, the reader will be moved by the personal epiphanies that the story inspires within them.

If you want to get absorbed in a story, the kind of novel that you don’t want to put down until you know how it ends, this is the book for you. It is light, yet, thought provoking and insightful. Come on – let’s go!

Over the Course of a Lifetime

The Human Rights Campaign receives a $1.00 donation for each paperback and e-book purchased of Over the Course of a Lifetime!

What if only 10% of the population in the USA was heterosexual? What if the only difference in the course of history over the past 100 years was that the majority of the population was gay?

Over the Course of a Lifetime is written in this setting. This historical fiction novel challenges the reader to peer into an alternate reality of what the world would be like if the only variable changed was that there was a different ruling majority class.

Marcus is a straight man born in 1930 whom against all odds, finds the woman of his dreams, in spite of the problems that he and Marie must overcome.  They love, they strive, they succeed, and they spend their entire lifetimes together, despite the deck being stacked against them as the most overlooked minority population in the country.

This love story is uproariously funny; yet, it challenges you to bend your conception of past and present time.  It promises to expand your thinking and to pose questions in your mind.  The novel is uplifting and intellectually intriguing.

Are you as open-minded as you believe yourself to be? Can you think outside of the box? 

Why not take a walk alongside Marcus and Marie in their lifetime romance, complete with a happy ending?

Dealing with the cancer treatment and death of her spouse, returning home to seek shelter with her family and then immediately losing her mother, the author describes the intense feelings of pain and despair and in the end, the rapture she experiences in finding love again. This book is a must read for anyone experiencing loss of any kind who needs inspiration to recreate themselves again. The author gives hope and courage to those walking the same path; she proves that  happiness can be found on the other side of devastation.

 Conversations with Jeremiah
on the Magic of Counseling

Conversations with Jeremiah on the Magic of Counseling by Geoffrey G. Yager, Ph.D., is not a typical textbook. It is a unique approach to teaching, written in a conversational and casual style in order to engage students.

The book describes the weekly meetings of two young counseling graduate students and their mysterious mentor over the course of the academic year. The mentor answers the questions of his protégés using thirty illustrative stories. The underlying themes of the stories encompass the crucial components of counseling relationships and the topics cover the concerns most commonly voiced by students during their early experiences with actual clients. The issues addressed include counselor self-care, the nature of counseling, empathy, perfectionism, ethics, and of course, the magic of counseling! 

Although the text is written from a counseling point of view, it will prove useful to any clinical class in a closely related field, such as counseling psychology, clinical psychology, clinical social work, health promotion, or psychiatric nursing. The text will also be beneficial to counselor trainees, experienced counselors interested in a refresher on basic skills, and potential clients who want to know more about counseling before they start seeing a counselor.
