The Christmas Yes List by Melissa Ferguson

 SOON TO BE A STREAMING ORIGINAL MOVIE!

All she wants for Christmas is a rejection.

Chloe Hollis is done being a people-pleaser. After one too many bad decisions--including a job that asked her to cross a line she couldn't--she's determined to change. Her plan? Collect ten nos before Christmas by asking strangers for the most ridiculous favors she can think of.

It should be easy.

But then? Then she meets James.

Instead of shutting her down, the charming out-of-towner keeps saying yes--to Christmas karaoke, to small-town holiday traditions, to every spontaneous, hilarious, totally chaotic idea she throws his way. And the more he says yes, the harder it becomes for Chloe to stick to her plan . . . or protect her heart.

Because James has a reason for saying yes to everything, too--and it might cost them both more than they bargained for.

As their opposite missions collide in a swirl of festive mishaps, unexpected courage, and undeniable chemistry, Chloe starts to wonder if the biggest risk isn't rejection after all . . . but saying yes to something real.

Wowrus by Monica Roe

 A gentle and moving picture book about how looking on the bright side might not always be the brightest solution.

Walrus is such a good friend. In fact, he's so good at cheering friends up and finding the bright side in any situation that sometimes his friends call him "Wowrus."

But when Walrus breaks a tusk during the Great Iceberg Classic, it hurts! He doesn’t want to hear about the silver linings of having only one tusk! As he nurses his wound, Walrus starts to understand that pointing out the positive doesn't always help. It takes Narwhal listening to him for Walrus to realize that perhaps not everything can—or should—be bright all the time…and that’s okay too.

Monica Roe grew up in an Appalachian farming community and spent her childhood haunting the local library, where she was once almost locked in at closing time (she saw this as a huge win; the librarian disagreed). She has worked for over a decade as a pediatric physical therapy consultant for off-road Alaskan communities and is a researcher/advocate for the social model of disability and inclusive rural health. A first-generation graduate, Monica currently studies public health at the University of Alaska Anchorage, focusing on disability-inclusive disaster preparedness for rural communities threatened by climate change. When not in Alaska, Monica and her family can be found in rural South Carolina, where they raise honeybees and sometimes get stung.

He has his family and friends, and plenty of women passing through his new hometown who are happy with a no-strings-attached night of passion. Working as a partner at his cousin’s construction company, he’s perfectly content with his life—until he meets Collins Henderson, the one-night stand who will change his world forever.

Collins grew up on the wrong side of her small hometown. Thanks to her parents’ shady schemes, every local knows a Henderson cannot be trusted. She works hard as a paramedic, putting in every extra hour she can to save for a better life. But every time she starts to get ahead, her parents show up to pull her back down. Having one night of passion with a man she doesn’t know is not something she’d normally do, but there was just something about him … And two months later, she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant.

When she runs into the mysterious stranger again, she has to tell him, not because she needs or wants anything from him, just so he knows. But now he’s showing up at her house, cooking her meals, stocking her refrigerator, and doing everything he can for her. Collins has always taken care of herself. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, but she can’t deny the chemistry between them.

She knows it’s only a matter of time before he learns who she is and changes his mind. She can’t let herself fall for this guy, but every day he’s getting harder to resist …

Witch Trail by Harriet Tyce

 Let the Witch Trial begin . . .

When eighteen-year-old Christian Shaw is found dead in a park, the city of Edinburgh is stunned—and the shock only deepens when police charge her best friends, Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth, with the murder. As social media explodes in a tizzy of theories and headlines scream for justice, rumors of bullying are overshadowed by something more wicked and frightening: whispers of dark rituals, feverish obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong.

When the trial begins, everyone in Edinburgh clamors for a front-row ticket to the show: to look upon the murderous Eliza and Isobel with their own eyes. Everyone, that is, but Matthew Phillips, a respected heart surgeon picked for the jury. But, as the trial unfolds—and the girls’ lawyers offer a surprising and unsettling defense—the reluctant Matthew finds himself questioning everything: the motives, the evidence, even his own judgement. Then he begins to have strange visions of terrifying things—hallucinations he tells himself. After all, witchcraft isn’t real . . . or is it?

Who is telling the truth? Who can be trusted?

And what really happened to Christian Shaw?

Harriet Tyce was born and grew up in Edinburgh. She graduated from Oxford in 1994 with a degree in English Literature before gaining legal qualifications.

The novels and plays of the award-winning writer Gary Morgenstein have been featured in national media from the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Parade Magazine, New York Post, and Sports Illustrated to NPR and Fox News.

Author of seven novels, Morgenstein wrote the critically acclaimed dystopian baseball trilogy "The Dark Depths" (“1984 Meets Shoeless Joe”), comprised of "A Mound Over Hell", "A Fastball for Freedom" and "A Dugout to Peace", which begins in 2098 after America and the West have lost World War Three to the Islamic Empire, democracy is dead with America ruled by a totalitarian nanny-state The Family, and disgraced baseball, associated with the failed great America, begins its final season at Amazon Stadium. His other novels include the thriller "Jesse's Girl", about a father's search for his troubled teenage son, who has run away from a substance abuse facility.

Morgenstein’s stage dramas, which have been performed throughout the United States, include the Broadway World award-winning drama "A Black and White Cookie" about the unlikely friendship between a conservative African American newsstand owner and an eccentric Communist Jew. His Perry Award-winning (Best Original Play) poignant drama "A Tomato Can’t Grow in the Bronx" illuminates a Jewish working-class family in the tumultuous 1960s.

His romantic dramedy "Walking Charlie" explores the relationship between a Venezuelan political immigrant and a struggling small business owner, who are brought together by a pug dog named Charlie.

Morgenstein's new bi-partisan political satire "AOC and the Untold Story of the 2028 Elections" makes fun of everyone in a wicked political romp into what might happen in the upcoming presidential election.

Life is Messy by Matthew Kelly

 Life is messy.

It isn't a color within the lines exercise.
It's a wild and outrageous invitation
full of uncertain outcomes.
The mess of life is both inevitable and unexpected.
It is filled with delightful mysteries
and frustrating predicaments.
In our disposable culture,
we throw broken things away.
So, what will we do with broken people,
broken relationships, broken institutions, broken families,
and of course, our very own broken selves?
We are all broken and wounded.
This book is about putting our lives back together,
and allowing ourselves to be put back together,
when life doesn't turn out as we expected it to.
Based on his own heart-wrenching personal journals,
Matthew Kelly shares how the worst three years of his life
affected him, by exploring this question:
Can someone who has been broken be healed
and become more beautiful and more lovable
than ever before?
The answer will fill you with hope.
There has never been a more urgent need
for us to attend to what is happening within us.
This is quite simply

the right book at the right time.

 Experience the story of the first Christmas through the eyes of a little shepherd girl who meets the newborn Jesus and learns that even the least of those who come to the Christmas manger are loved and have a place in His kingdom.

No one pays attention to Serah. She wants nothing more than to help her father tend their family’s sheep and be a shepherdess like Rachel and Rebekah in the stories of her Israelite ancestors, but her brothers tease her for being too little and her mother keeps her busy with errands and chores in the kitchen. When her father finally gives her one lamb to tend to, Serah sneaks out to the fields at night to care for it. There, she witnesses the sky illuminated with heavenly light and hears the message about a newborn baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

Hope for the Heart Broken by Karen Ehman and Amber Smith

 Find hope and healing as you walk through grief and navigate life after loss. This yearlong devotional journal offers Scripture-based comfort in a lonely and difficult season.

If you've experienced loss, then you've had days when sorrow overshadows every step, nights when the pain seems all-consuming, and moments when you feel utterly alone in your grief. What if, in the midst of your sorrow, you found something sacred? Hope for the Heartbroken reaches into those often-unseen moments. It is your companion for those vulnerable spaces, offering gentle reminders that God is present in the heartbreak and is grieving alongside you.

Whether you're mourning the death of a loved one, grieving the loss of a relationship or season of life, walking through a painful divorce, or simply struggling to name the sorrow you carry, Hope for the Heartbroken offers a gentle, biblical path forward.

Each week follows a simple, healing rhythm designed to walk readers through layers of processing grief:

• Day 1—Ponder: Read a heartfelt devotion grounded in Scripture
• Day 2—Pen: Answer guided reflection questions that invite honest self-evaluation
• Day 3—Pray: Write a prayer, expressing sorrow and hope before God
• Day 4—Pause: Process your feelings to position you best for spiritual growth
• Day 5—Pathway: Take an intentional step toward healing or self-care

Authors Karen Ehman, Ruth Schwenk, and Amber Emily Smith—friends whose hearts have been knit together by the gruesome yet grace-filled threads of grief—have personally endured profound heartache, including miscarriages; the death of a spouse, a child, and multiple family members in a short timeframe; physical and emotional abuse; broken friendships; job losses; and much more. They know that grief and healing do not follow a linear path, that many people are well-meaning but often say the wrong thing, and that some days the ache feels just as sharp as it did in the beginning. With honesty, compassion, and deep faith, they've created a resource to gently walk with others through the ongoing, sacred work of grieving.

This devotional is a meaningful guide for your own experience with grief or a thoughtful way to support someone you love during times of loss, holidays, or difficult anniversaries. Hope for the Heartbroken is a reminder that you are not alone and that healing, though gradual, is possible.

He understood duty.
Neither expected love.

When Alec Raeburn, Duke of Selkirk, leaves his faltering estate to seek an heiress on the Marriage Mart, he has no intention of falling in love. What he needs is a mother for his young daughter, Marjorie, and a partner with security to manage affairs at home.

As they grow closer and contemplate a match, a devastating discovery threatens everything.
