After a lifetime of strained bonds with her aging parents, Patricia Williams finds herself in the unexpected position of being their caregiver and neighbor. As they all begin to navigate this murky battleground, the long-buried issues that have divided their family for decades—alcoholism, infidelity, opposing politics—rear up and demand to be addressed head-on. Williams answers the call of duty with trepidation at first, confronting the lines between service and servant, guardian and warden, while her parents alternately resist her help and wear her out. But by facing each new struggle with determination, grace, and courage, they ultimately emerge into a dynamic of greater transparency, mutual support, and teachable moments for all. Honest and humorous, graceful and grumbling, While They’re Still Here is a poignant story about a family that waves the white flag and begins to heal old wounds as they guide each other through the most vulnerable chapter of their lives.

“There’s so much to learn and so much to know. It’s good to keep moving forward. And yet whatever we have is, in a very profound way, absolutely complete and always enough.”—Kyogen Carlson Kyogen Carlson (1948–2014) was a Soto Zen priest whose writings, teachings, and commitment to interfaith dialogue supported and inspired countless Buddhist, Christian, and other spiritual practitioners. Set to the rhythm of the seasons, You Are Still Here is the first published collection of Carlson’s dharma talks. It illuminates key elements of contemporary Zen practice, such as the experience of zazen meditation, the pitfalls and intimacies of the teacher-student relationship and of sangha life, the role of community in personal practice, and the importance of interfaith dialogue reaching across political lines. Carlson’s teachings also underscore his commitment to lay Buddhist practice and women’s lineages, both significant contributions to American Buddhism. The beautifully distilled talks have been carefully edited and introduced by Sallie Jiko Tisdale, a respected writer, teacher, and Dharma heir to Carlson. Her masterful presentation highlights the significance of these illuminating teachings, while preserving Carlson’s distinct style of authenticity, humor, and conviction on the Zen path.

"I wish I had, or I wish I could" are often phrases that we use when we realize that we have let precious memories slip through the cracks. This book has been a labor of love to let my loved ones know how much they mean to me today. My initial goal was to pay tribute to my mother, but before long it has blossomed to include other family members and friends. Along with written tributes, I chose to use photos to take us down a journey on memory lane. If you are reading this book, I hope that it inspires you to be more proactive and let people know how much they mean to you now! For those who I have not talked to in a while, let us reconnect! This project has ignited a spark and I was bitten by the "writer's bug," so I know that this is not the last time you will hear from me!

Hinoch has always had a special connection to his native land of Labrador, so when the young Inuit artist is guided to the isolated site of a plane crash by a raven, he is relatively unfazed. It is there Hinoch finds a gold ring belonging to one of the former crew members, a ring containing the spirit of the lost owner. Hinoch knows he must reunite the ring with the owner’s family in order to save the man’s spirit. Hinoch’s efforts to find the lost man’s family finally pay off when a young woman named Joanna visits him in his isolated community. The two immediately hit it off, and Joanna is drawn to the simple Labrador lifestyle and the traditional and spiritual ways of the Inuit. Hinoch and Joanna begin to see themselves sharing their lives together, but then Hinoch drops a bombshell: he’s been having shamanic visions of the world being destroyed by overpopulation and climate change. Now he’s unsure if Joanna will be willing to join him in relocating his people to the safety of the wilderness.

A collection of first-hand accounts from courageous Afghan women who refuse to be silenced in the face of the Taliban. After decades of significant progress, the prospects of women and girls in Afghanistan are once again dependent on radical Islamists who reject gender equality. When the United States announced the end of their twenty-year occupation and the Taliban seized control of the country on August 15, 2021, a steep regression of social, political, and economic freedoms for women in the country began. But just because a brutal regime has taken over doesn't mean Afghan women will stand by while their rights are stripped away. In We Are Still Here, artist and activist Nahid Shahalimi compiles the voices of thirteen powerful, insightful, and influential Afghan women who have worked as politicians, journalists, scientists, filmmakers, artists, coders, musicians, and more. As they reflect on their country's past, stories of their own upbringing and the ways they have been able to empower girls and women over the past two decades emerge. They report on the fear and pain caused by the impending loss of their homeland, but, above all, on what many girls and women in Afghanistan have already lost: freedom, self-determination, and joy. The result is an arresting book that issues an appeal to remember Afghan girls and women and to show solidarity with them. Like us, they have a right to freedom and dignity, and together we must fight for their place in the free world because Afghanistan is only geographically distant. Extremist ideas know no limits.

Sibert Honor Book Twelve Native American kids present historical and contemporary laws, policies, struggles, and victories in Native life, each with a powerful refrain: We are still here!

This companion book to the award-winning We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga offers readers everything they never learned in school about Native American people's past, present, and future. Precise, lyrical writing presents topics including: forced assimilation (such as boarding schools), land allotment and Native tribal reorganization, termination (the US government not recognizing tribes as nations), Native urban relocation (from reservations), self-determination (tribal self-empowerment), Native civil rights, the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), religious freedom, economic development (including casino development), Native language revival efforts, cultural persistence, and nationhood.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • From a leading voice on racial justice, an eye-opening account of growing up Black, Christian, and female that exposes how white America’s love affair with “diversity” so often falls short of its ideals. “Austin Channing Brown introduces herself as a master memoirist. This book will break open hearts and minds.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed Austin Channing Brown’s first encounter with a racialized America came at age seven, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools and churches, Austin writes, “I had to learn what it means to love blackness,” a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating America’s racial divide as a writer, speaker, and expert helping organizations practice genuine inclusion. In a time when nearly every institution (schools, churches, universities, businesses) claims to value diversity in its mission statement, Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to self-worth and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice. Her stories bear witness to the complexity of America’s social fabric—from Black Cleveland neighborhoods to private schools in the middle-class suburbs, from prison walls to the boardrooms at majority-white organizations. For readers who have engaged with America’s legacy on race through the writing of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michael Eric Dyson, I’m Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize God’s ongoing work in the world, and discover how blackness—if we let it—can save us all.

We all go through life with similar struggles and desires, but not everyone follows their childhood dreams, not everyone is successful, or at least feels that way. There are also moments in your life when something unusual happens. An accident, a health problem, or something bigger than your job, your career. In those moments, life loses its meaning and you start to think: Is what I am doing now all there is? Is this what I dreamed of as a child? What am I here for? Similar questions have been on my mind for more than two decades of my life, and I have found answers that I am willing to share with you in this book. People who are truly successful do things differently than most, and it is not too late for you to learn what they know. Without finding your purpose, true success can be very difficult to achieve. It is never too late to change the way you think, to act differently, and to make a difference. Everyone needs to believe in something, even if it is only in their own abilities. I invite you on an exciting journey of self-discovery and the beginning of a new phase of your life. What you will find in this book is a great insight into the psychology of who you are and a different perspective on widely accepted truths. It will teach you how to work on yourself and apply the knowledge you find to your own life. I've turned my life around, and so can you. You already have what you need. Find out how you can live the life of your dreams! "The world of subjective contrast and compassion Is a false world, built entirely By each person’s imagination. Nothing is as it seems...” ~ Zen proverb
