Over 50 and Fabulous : The Second Adulthood Thriving Guide by Tania Klein (5 Reviews)    Price verified 57 minutes ago

You are fifty. Now what? As women approach their fiftieth birthday, they often experience hot flashes, mood swings, and an array of emotions, ranging from frustration, anxiety, desperation, hopelessness, blissful ignorance, and a false sense of bravery. Rarely, if ever, do women say that the day they turned fifty was the best day of their lives. But what if we were to turn this narrative around and start viewing turning fifty (sixty, seventy, or any age, for that matter) as the time in our lives when we finally get to be our true selves and do things that are truly important to us? When, instead of trying to conform to society's outdated standards, we can proudly embrace our uniqueness. A time when expectations and polite social behavior don't make you feel boxed in or that you need to "act your age," but rather, cause you to see yourself as an immensely advanced person capable of doing whatever you set your mind on. This is the time to rewrite the History of Aging and reconsider what is possible in your Second Adulthood. Not only for the rare kind of women that lead the movement but for all of us. In her book, founder and CEO of Rejuvenation Station and creator of Phace Gym, Tania Yanis Klein, makes a compelling case for rethinking your current age, modifying your daily routine, adding restorative face and neck exercises, and why she thinks these actions will change your life. "There is so much we can do to look our best without turning to plastic surgery or dressing like our daughters. And looking older than you are might be a sign that you don't take good care of yourself and your body."- Dr. Heike Franz, Coach for women 50+

DEAD DOG ROAD: A True Story Into The Dark World Of An Abused Child by Diane N. Black (BLACK FLOWER PRESS) (41 Reviews)    Price verified 21 hours ago

IN A SMALL TEXAS TOWN, THE DIRECTOR OF A CHILDREN'S HOME TRIES TO SAVE THREE ADOPTED RUSSIAN CHILDREN LIVING WITH A SADISTIC WOMAN IN THE BACKWOODS OF CANEY HEAD. A heart-stopping story that highlights the failure of the agencies we trust to protect the most vulnerable among us -- and a truth more compelling and powerful than we could imagine. Abuse reports from neighbors draw attention to twelve-year-old Alexey who runs away to hide in the woods. The local child protection agency sends the director of the children's home to visit Alexey and his younger sisters, Anastasia and Svetlana. But despite her compelling report the agency believes the denials of the adoptive mother and leaves the children in the abusive home. Knowing the horrible truth, the director faces one obstacle after another as she tries to find someone to protect the children from the unspeakable. Dead Dog Road -- a place where secrets are buried like the injured fighting dogs who are dumped there.
