Although 10-25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, there is surprisingly little recognition of the devastating grief that often follows in its wake. Sadly, poor communication by medical staff and insensitive comments from well-meaning friends and family are common, while real emotional support is rare. After experiencing a devastating miscarriage herself and finding little in the way of support, grief counselor Karin Holmes wrote How to Survive a Miscarriage to help other women in a similar situation.How to Survive a Miscarriage addresses the emotional and physical implications of pregnancies lost before the 20th week. It guides grieving mothers through the dark times of loss towards purposeful and gentle healing with strategies for coping with sadness and guilt, suggestions for rituals, and advice on getting through subsequent pregnancies. It also addresses the physical causes and types of miscarriage, and includes a section for friends, family and partners.

Rethinking Drinking is a story about our common beliefs and experiences with alcohol, and the super-genius of alcohol marketing. The book cover introduces the story with the blue pills representing the altered reality that alcohol has taught us, and the red napkin text representing the true reality that the author tours the reader thru inside his book. Starting with the author's own difficult conversation with his teenage son about alcohol, the story moves along a dot-connecting continuum of increasingly honest awareness about the effect alcohol has on all of us, and finally arrives at the reason we're all under the influence of it. Lastly, the author shares how he successfully explained all of it to his teenage son. With clever illustrations, common quotes, and condensed chapters, this book is a fun and easy read about the importance of improved alcohol awareness among parents, families, friends and co-workers.

You have purchased a treasure that my generation - and many generations before me - did not have: men on the fatherhood journey who have told their stories for other men sharing the terrain. I needed a map and a compass to traverse this territory. Without these, many of you are faking it till you make it, just as I did. Not sure what to do?  Where to start? Let these men mentor and guide you in the way you should go. Receive the life skills and experience the love. The message of these stories is the same: fatherhood really matters! Done well it is world-changing. Done badly it is catastrophic.
