The Discovered
by Tracy WinegarAfter being discovered by Sam Barlow, the one man she would do anything to keep her secret from, Serena Stark must finally face the consequences of her rash decision to dress as a man and fight for the Union Army. Now her relationship with him is on shaky ground, and she can only hope that he will choose not to tell anyone else what she has done for fear of what it will do to her reputation, as well as how it will affect her future. While her personal life is filled with turmoil and conflict, so too is the deeply divided war-ravaged country for which she fights. As the Civil War rages on with no end in sight, Serena must endure the Battle of Gettysburg, the constant dangerous threat of Mosby's Raiders, and a new enemy in Jack Monroe, a soldier who fights in the same company but is far from a friendly ally. Serena must be on her guard and keep her wits about her if she hopes to survive. But even harder than preserving her life, will be protecting her heart.
The Emancipator
by Tracy WinegarAfter experiencing the perils of fighting as a soldier in the Civil War, Serena Barlow now faces something far more frightening. She must return to the beginning--a home she did her best to leave behind. Without Sam she is left to confront the past: the painful memories of Caleb's loss, a mother she hardly knows, a father whom she has deceived sorely, and, worse yet, a father-in-law who knows her secret. Impending motherhood overwhelms her even more, and without Sam at her side, she hardly knows who she is anymore. When word comes that Sam has been captured and is wasting away in the squalid conditions of Libby Prison, Serena can wait no more. She decides she must take action to save him, and leaving everything dear to her behind, she makes her way to the capital of the Confederacy--Richmond, Virginia. Deep within enemy territory, Serena begins to wonder how far she will go to save the man she loves. Time is running out for Sam. Can she find a way to rescue him before it's too late?

The Vaticans Exorcists: Driving Out the Devil in the 21st Century
by Tracy WilkinsonJohn Paul II was the first pope since the early 1600s to view the devil and his minions not only as formidable foes, but as tangible, present forces which the Catholic church must battle on a daily basis. The priest charged with spearheading this mission is Father Gabriele Amorth and his Office of Exorcism. Revitalizing a long-dormant practice, Father Amorth has re-established exorcism as a common rite in the church with a series of seminars and training sessions during which priests from all over the world learn how to fight Satan here on Earth. The Rome bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, journalist Tracy Wilkinson has gained access to the Vatican's highest authorities, allowing her to cover this story from every angle, including "beneficiaries" and "victims" of exorcism alike, skeptical scientists and laity, devout believers, and even those priests within the church who question the revival of the practice. A riveting account of a provocative subject, this outstanding work of investigative journalism will enthrall readers from start to finish.
Contentment: The Sacred Path to Loving the Life You Have
by Tracy Wilde-PaceFrom a fifth-generation preacher and pastor and acclaimed author of Finding The Lost Art of Empathy comes a moving and inspirational exploration of the true meaning of contentment and how we can incorporate it into our lives.Through her own personal experiences and years of focused Bible study, Tracy Wilde investigates one of the greatest mysteries of modern Christian life: contentment. She reveals that contentment differs from happiness, and is not something you can implement in a day—it takes time, practice, and an awareness of the draining distractions that rob us of joy, satisfaction, gratitude, and trust. In this book, Tracy explores the life of Paul the Apostle to show how we can live a life of fulfillment no matter the circumstances. Using the Biblical book of Philippians, Tracy presents contentment as a crucial practice for all followers of Jesus. She distinguishes the differences between happiness (shallow and short term) and contentment (deep and lasting), examines our tendency toward entitlement, and acknowledges the fear and anxiety when life gets tough. With her lyrical prose, profound insight, and &“heart for people&” (Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author), Tracy offers encouragement and confidence as she helps you learn the secret of contentment and helps you focus on all that is good and true and beautiful so you can see your life anew.
Finding the Lost Art of Empathy: Connecting Human to Human in a Disconnected World
by Judah Smith Tracy WildeTracy Wilde, rising celebrity pastor who helped launch the LA Bible Study in Hollywood, reflects on the absence of empathy in today’s world and shares how Christians can renew their compassion to help unify not only the church, but society as well.In Finding the Lost Art of Empathy, Tracy Wilde addresses the reasons why we struggle with showing empathy toward others and explains why we ultimately avoid it—and even avoid contact with others altogether. She explores the different facets that have promoted isolation instead of community and provides the antidote for a more unified, loving, and empathetic society. In this book Wilde hopes to inspire all of us to self-reflect and remove those obstacles from our lives so that we can experience true fulfillment in our relationships—the way God intended us to.

The Unexpected Spy: From the CIA to the FBI, My Secret Life Taking Down Some of the World's Most Notorious Terrorists
by Jessica Anya Blau Tracy WalderA highly entertaining account of a young woman who went straight from her college sorority to the CIA, where she hunted terrorists and WMDs"A thrilling tale...Walder’s fast-paced and intense narrative opens a window into life in two of America’s major intelligence agencies" —Publishers Weekly (starred review)When Tracy Walder enrolled at the University of Southern California, she never thought that one day she would offer her pink beanbag chair in the Delta Gamma house to a CIA recruiter, or that she’d fly to the Middle East under an alias identity.The Unexpected Spy is the riveting story of Walder's tenure in the CIA and, later, the FBI. In high-security, steel-walled rooms in Virginia, Walder watched al-Qaeda members with drones as President Bush looked over her shoulder and CIA Director George Tenet brought her donuts. She tracked chemical terrorists and searched the world for Weapons of Mass Destruction. She created a chemical terror chart that someone in the White House altered to convey information she did not have or believe, leading to the Iraq invasion. Driven to stop terrorism, Walder debriefed terrorists—men who swore they’d never speak to a woman—until they gave her leads. She followed trails through North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, shutting down multiple chemical attacks.Then Walder moved to the FBI, where she worked in counterintelligence. In a single year, she helped take down one of the most notorious foreign spies ever caught on American soil. Catching the bad guys wasn’t a problem in the FBI, but rampant sexism was. Walder left the FBI to teach young women, encouraging them to find a place in the FBI, CIA, State Department or the Senate—and thus change the world.
