Soldier Keith Nightingale has conducted terrain walks in Normandy for over forty years with veterans, active-duty military, and local French civilians. Over the decades Nightingale conducted dozens of formal interviews and informal conversations with many of the principals of the day, including Generals Bradley, Collins, Gavin, Ridgway, and Hill. Added to this rare new primary material from the top brass are numerous conversations with lower-ranking vets who did the heavy lifting.

It’s morning at Meadow Brook Nursing Home. During the last 10 months, this has been my mother’s abode. Most days, I feel it is mine, too. Life, as I have known it, is a blur. Alzheimer’s has taken mother from herself, her family, and her friends. It has demanded a grit and grace in our everyday lives beyond human comprehension. I know that I must tell her story - which ultimately is my story, too - with hope that it may bring a degree of peace to the hearts of those who have walked, or will walk, the same road.

“And who does this belong to?” the chubby cop asked us as he pulled about three grams of heroin out of the purse tucked into the couch. “I-I-I don’t know,” Keya stuttered, trying not to cry. “Well, boy, what about you?” the cop asked as he turned to me. I didn’t say a word. I just sat there in silence. “Well, Keya, since it’s in this purse with your identification, it’s yours,” he snapped as he aggressively put handcuffs on her also. She sat there with her head hanging low. Just like that, I was on my way to the county jail along with my girl for capital murder.

Almudena Cid comparte sus herramientas para avanzar con equilibrio ante los giros de la vida. En Caminar sin punteras habla de cómo, cuando el centro de tu vida se desmorona, recurrir a su experiencia como deportista de élite la salvó de quedarse esperando a que algo aliviara el dolor. Cuando tuvo que mirar atrás y encontrar el modo de hacer frente al caos, regresaron con más presencia que nunca la disciplina y la fuerza mental que desarrolló en su carrera como gimnasta.

In Chosen, Not Chased: A Journey Back to Divine Identity, I share my deeply personal story of heartbreak, betrayal, and the moments that tested my worth. Through raw honesty and spiritual insight, I invite you to walk with me through the valleys and into the revelations that rebuilt my identity. This is more than my testimony — it’s a call to every woman to reclaim her dignity, trust God’s timing, and stand in the truth that she is already enough.

This is a memoir of my life growing up totally blind, and a testimonial to my Christian faith.

Ginger Baker was, without question, the foremost drummer of his generation, having formed supergroups Cream and Blind Faith. In the early 1990s, author Geoffrey Giuliano received a call from Baker asking if he would be interested in writing his autobiography. From there, a turbulent, yet fruitful relationship ensued between the two. While the book they wrote together has yet to be published, here, at last, are the exclusive, in-depth, upfront, and highly personal conversations the two unlikely friends recorded in a Clarence, New York, studio all those years ago.

This book is a true story about the journey of a woman who steadily lost up to 25 pounds during a 6-month period, which averages to a realistic one pound a week, give or take. Like everyone else, she enjoys freely eating whatever she wants without giving thought to the type of food or the quantity.
