Tour Wrap Up: Scarlett's Web by Bree McKennedy

New Adult Romance

Date Published 05-03-2021

Scarlett Camden met her Prince Charming-Harvard bound, Michael, the first week of her sophomore year. Her life went from less than mediocre to something resembling epic. With her new best friend, Jade's help, she managed to transform from the quiet girl no one remembered to the most-envied girl at their private school, Philips Kimball Academy. But things took unexpected turns.

Looks were more than deceiving. Life became unpredictable and unchangeable.

What happened behind closed doors and away from intrusive eyes was anything but the fairytale everyone assumed she was living.

Years later, her past collides with her present life. Once again, her world gets thrown into a whirlwind filled with painful memories, unforgivable crimes of lust, and the loss of hope. Devastation and regrets.

This is the story of first love and loss. Lies and lust weaved into a web too big to escape.

Will Scarlett's web of lies keep her terminally trapped by her committed sins when she was practically a child, or will forgiveness grant her a happy ever ending filled?

Tour Wrap Up: Leading the Lost Boys by Paulino Mamiir Chol

The Untold Journey

Memoir

Date Published: June 22, 2021

Publisher: Mamiir Chol Foundation

As a member of the Lost Boys of South Sudan, author Paulino Mamiir Chol offers the gripping account of his transformation from a kidnapping survivor to a leader— Mr. Chol led over 700 boys across three African countries.

Paulino Mamiir Chol was abducted from his family, in the Twic County of Warrap state. Over the course of seventeen harrowing years, he survived Ethiopian and Kenyan refugee camps, and eventually made it to Denver, Colorado, in the United States of America, where he now pursues a PhD.

In detailing the journeys of the Lost Boys, as well as the murderous actions of the Murahalin Militia before and after the Second Sudanese Civil War, Mr. Chol paints a vivid picture of one of modern history’s most horrific human rights abuses. In so doing, he also offers hope in the power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and tragedy—especially when we focus on serving others.

Leading The Lost Boys: The Untold Journey is part of Paulino Mamiir Chol’s effort to fight the inhuman darkness we are all capable of, and to empower and inspire the hearts of those suffering.

All proceeds will go to the Mamiir Chol Foundation (MACH), which will provide funds to villagers in Twic County for clean drinking wells, clinics, schools, and community centers. Proceeds will also support organizations working for human rights, homeless children, widowed mothers, disabled people, and to protect women and girls from sexual abuse, exploitation and gender-based violence.

"A headstrong Portuguese meets her match in the arrogant Englishman who threatens her beloved vineyards. Dive deep into Portugal's rich culture in this intoxicating story about wine and love."

A winemaker desperate to save her vineyards...

Julia Costa is the best winemaker in the Douro. When a greedy tradesman threatens the land her family has held for generations, Julia prepares to defend her legacy and independence by any means necessary.
