The past is simply part of our story; just not the whole story...On the very day that Nancy Sharp delivered premature twins, she learned that her husband's brain cancer returned after eighteen months in remission. Less than three years later, at the age of 37, she became a widow. But while many in that situation would crumble, Nancy had an innate ability to hold life and death in the same moment. She learned to "see beyond the frame's edge." In BOTH SIDES NOW: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Bold Living, Nancy shares her unforgettable journey - one that offers enlightened understanding for living life to the fullest. Her story is a gift to those looking to lift themselves from the embers of loss and adversity through bold living. Seeking the solace of the Rocky Mountains and a fresh start, Nancy packs up her five year-old twins and leaves Manhattan for Denver, never imagining that she would find love in the pages of a magazine. But after reading an article on eligible bachelors, Nancy sends an email to Steve Saunders, a popular Denver television anchor turned political candidate as well as a widower who'd lost his wife to cancer, and was raising two sons a decade older than Nancy's twins. Today they have been married for six years. BOTH SIDES NOW is the recipient of seven literary honors: First Book Finalist for Books For A Better Life; USA BEST BOOK Finalist; National Indie Excellence Award; Readers' Favorite International Book Award; Living Now Book Award; American Book Fest International Book Award; and a CIPA EVVY. Conversations Book Club with Cyrus Webb also named BOTH SIDES NOW as a top 50 nonfiction read of 2014. In BOTH SIDES NOW, Nancy explores: · What it was like for her to learn her husband's cancer had returned on the same day she delivered premature twins · Coping with his long illness and the unexpected beauty surrounding his death · What gave her the courage to move from NYC to Denver with young twins to start a new life · How she literally plucked her new husband, Steve, from the pages of a magazine · What it really means to hold the past, present, and future at the same time · How we comes to own our stories without letting them define us· A compelling snapshot of BOLD Living

AN EXILE AND THE FLAVORS OF HIS NATIVE LAND
In the sprawling Cortadito, Enrique Fernández explores Cuban cuisine through memories of growing up on the pre-revolutionary island. In his sensual journey through the origin and evolution of staples of Cuban food, Fernández wonders what shapes flavor: is it the soil or the community―whether at home or abroad? As an exile, he affirms, “I will continue to sample the crumbs that fall from [Cuba’s] table and be thankful and resentful at the same time.”

Blue Christmas: Holiday Stories for the Rest of Us, is an anthology of seventeen holiday short stories by acclaimed fiction writers. Not one relies on borrowed feelings or seasonal stereotypes, and none engage in the grand yuletide conspiracy of mirth and good cheer. Yes, it's a wonderful life...for some of the people, some of the time. But fiction that tells the truth is never about the merry citizens of Blissville or Bedford Falls. And during the incessant holiday festivities, our own chronic troubles are acutely magnified; our losses are more keenly felt. These Blue Christmas stories are not the palliative escape from reality that we've come to expect from our saccharine Christmas narratives, but are, in fact, plunges into an oftentimes distressing reality. They offer you the gifts of honesty, suspense, and transport. They'll carry you away to a world more intriguing and compelling than the one you spend your days in.
