Believing You Can Fly

($13.00) ISBN: 978-1-4349-0200-9, paperback

This is the true story of a woman who turned her dream of helping people into a rewarding thirty-year career in health care.

Jacquelyn Gaines joined the workforce as a nurse. Her dedication and compassion made her a favorite among her patients, but her superiors weren't always so impressed. As a black woman, she faced their prejudices and proved her worth.

Eventually deciding to take her career to another level, her professional and personal life were forever changed when she started working for Health Care for the Homeless, Inc., in Baltimore, Maryland. Again her empathy, paired with hard work, made her interactions with her patients fruitful and fulfilling.

"I have never worked anywhere before or since that gave me such a sense of purpose," she writes. "I knew daily that I made a difference in the lives of the vulnerable people in the community where I was born and raised."

She later took on the position of Vice President of Community Health Systems Integration for Bon Secours Baltimore Health System and worked with the Surgeon General. Then, at the top of her career, she became the first black female to run a hospital in Oregon and later served as the Regional President and CEO for Mercy Health Partners in Northeast Pennsylvania.

Gaines now shares her experiences to motivate and inspire those with similar aspirations.

Dolly Duitt and the Improbable Tasks

($10.00) ISBN: 978-0-8059-7750-9, paperback

Dolly Duitt is a procrastinator--but not intentionally. She simply forgets she has begun one task and is distracted and moves to another, making completion of any of these tasks "improbable." She forgets to pay her bills, water her plants, and take her dog, Flossie, out for a walk. She becomes frustrated at the results and sets out to help herself with a very positive outcome.

Dolly, like all of us at some point, realizes the important things in life that need to be taken care of right away. She discovers a quick and easy way to be able to remember all of these important things--and we can do it, too!

When a person loses a pet, the pain is sometimes too much to deal with. But it's nice to know your beloved little friend is most likely in a better place.

Vida M. Hinson knows this pain all too well. She loved her puppy, Sunshine, so much but was heartbroken when she realized she was moving and Sunshine couldn't go with her. After trying very hard not to be hurt or mad, Vida found another owner who she knew would take good care of her Sunshine.

Sunshine and Me is a heartfelt work that makes one appreciate the little things -- especially our pets.
