Are you facing criminal charges or worse yet, been arrested and stuck in jail? Have you been convicted and don’t know how this happened? Are you feeling frustrated, confused, and as if there is no one to help? Do you know something is wrong in your case but can’t get anyone to listen, understand or do anything about it? 
These questions and the answers to them are at the core of the tips, techniques and examples in the educational and inspiring book, Police 101: For The Pro Per Or Pro Se Criminal Defendant, Lesson One: Police Reports.

In this book, a first in the series, Burke introduces the various types of police reports that may be included in a criminal case, how they might apply to situations and the different areas of investigation to be considered. 
If you, a loved one, or friend has been arrested, or are facing criminal charges, and you want to know more about the police and how they impact a case, this is the book for you.

The Little Book of Yoga: Revitalize your body, mind, and spirit

It is an inspiring story that has been muted over the past 400 years. For much of this time Mary Ward’s role in changing the place of women in the Church was suppressed by Church authorities with their own unshakeable version of what women could (or could not) achieve. This remarkable Englishwoman who began her company of sisters in 1609 and today has followers in large cities and remote villages, in schools, universities and parishes and in justice networks, retreat centers and welfare services on every continent. Yet this was a woman who was ridiculed and imprisoned for pursuing her basic insight that women could both be religious and work to build the faith of their neighbors. It was not until 1909 that the Church finally allowed her sisters to name her as founder of the Institute. Christine Burke’s small volume celebrates the life of a woman of great faith and insight – always loyal to the church, resourceful, courageous and determined--a woman who never gave up on her own truth. Christine Burke spent four months in 2003 on a sabbatical in Cambridge where she followed up on her life-long interest in Mary Ward, researching and reflecting on the implications of her story for today. In her current role as province leader for Australia, Christine is aware that many past students and colleagues find both inspiration and challenge in this story, yet Mary Ward is far from well known beyond a small circle. Christine’s ministry background has been mainly in theology, adult education and pastoral formation with a particular interest in connecting the Christian heritage with current issues.

Sometimes being a woman sucks. Do you ever feel the pressure to be perfect? I Just Want to Be Perfect is the fourth book in the New York Times bestselling I Just Want to Pee Alone series. 
It brings together 37 hilarious and relatable essays that showcase the foibles of ordinary women trying to be perfect. The cult of perfection is a thing. 
As women, we are constantly inundated with "helpful" and/or "ah-may-zing" tips to improve our looks, please our men, raise the next Einstein (in a wheat-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free environment), and feng shui the crap out of our homes. 
Whether it's the hot new diet that involves only eating what you can forage from the floor of your minivan, bleaching everything from your hair to your teeth to your butt hole, or clearing your clutter by mindfully thanking your ratty underwear for its long, dedicated service before you toss them, we've all tried something to be more perfect. 
We try to strive for perfection and balance in our lives, and most of us fail--spectacularly. 
These are those stories.
