Stash: My Life in Hiding
by Laura Cathcart Robbins&“An emotionally absorbing and swiftly paced multisensory experience.&” —The New York Times Book ReviewNamed a Best Memoir of 2023 by Elle In the vein of Somebody&’s Daughter, this wild, vivid addiction memoir from the host of the podcast The Only One in the Room &“will inspire, awe, entertain, educate, and help so many readers&” (Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author) with a journey to sobriety and self-love amidst privilege and racism.After years of hiding her addiction from everyone—stockpiling pills in her Louboutins and elaborately scheduling her withdrawals between PTA meetings, baby showers, and tennis matches—Laura Cathcart Robbins is running out of places to hide. She has learned the hard way that even her high-profile marriage and Hollywood lifestyle can&’t protect her from the pain she&’s keeping bottled up inside. Facing divorce, the possibility of a grueling custody battle, and the insistent voice of internalized racism that nags at her as a Black woman in a startlingly white world, Laura wonders just how much more she can take. Now, with courageous and candid openness, she reveals how she started the long journey towards sobriety, unexpectedly found new love, and dismantled the wall she had built around herself, brick by brick. With its raw, finely crafted, and engaging prose, Stash is &“emotionally riveting…usher[ing] in a new way for us to talk and read about the paradoxes of addiction, race, family, class, and gender.&” (Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy).

Stations of the Light: Renewing the Ancient Christian Practice of the Via Lucis as a Spiritual Tool for Today
by Mary Ford-GrabowskyThis is the first book to introduce the fourteen joyful and highly symbolic events that make up the Via Lucis, the Christian Way of Light, an ancient spiritual tradition celebrating the post-Resurrection life of Christ on Earth. The Stations of the Light, with its "good news" of healing and salvation, is becoming an increasingly popular devotion throughout the United States and the world, and was recognized by the Vatican in its Jubilee 2000 campaign. While Christians of all denominations are familiar with the Stations of the Cross, few know how to celebrate the Stations of the Light, a practice that came into being through inspiration from ancient Roman sources. Stations of the Light is a clear and inspiring guide to making this ancient ritual part of contemporary Christian life. The stations mark the fourteen sacred events in the post-Easter story, from "Jesus Rises from the Dead" to "Pentecost: The Risen Lord Sends the Holy Spirit." For each one, Mary Ford-Grabowsky presents a variety of spiritual practices that invite readers to form their own realistic and sacred image of the event. Beginning with relaxation and releasing the imagination, these exercises are designed to help convey the story and foster inspiration, and include ancient and contemporary meditations, reflections, and prayers; as well as journal writing, artwork, music, and mantras.
Stato di Sogno - Una Teoria di Cospirazione
by Gloria Corsini Jed MckennaSe la vita è un sogno, da cosa dobbiamo svegliarci? La premessa centrale di Stato di Sogno: Una Teoria di Cospirazione, è l’affermazione certamente ridicola ma incontrovertibilmente vera che l’universo non esiste. Questo è qualcosa che si può capire concettualmente, come guardare un documentario sull’Antartide, o sperimentalmente, come andando in Antartide. C’è anche un fenomeno correlato in cui ci si addormenta guardando il documentario e ci si sveglia nel deserto ghiacciato. Dev’essere strano, ma la verità è che ti sei addormentato in un deserto arido sognando che non lo eri, così è lì che il risveglio ti raggiunge.
