No Cure for Being Human
by Kate Bowler
A beautiful and powerful book that will have you thinking of your life in a different way. Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices until she discovered, at age 35, that her body was wracked with cancer. In No Cure for Being Human, she searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of today's "best life now" advice, which insists on exhausting positivity and on trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn, and out-perform our humanness.
With dry wit and unflinching honesty, Kate Bowler grapples with her diagnosis, ambition, and faith as she tries to come to terms with her limitations in a culture that says anything is possible. She finds that we need one another and that life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between—and there's no cure for being human.
The Beauty of Living Twice
by Sharon Stone
Award-winning actress Sharon Stone suffered a massive stroke that cost her not only her health but her career, family, fortune, and fame. In The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone chronicles her efforts to rebuild her life and writes about her slow road back to wholeness and health. Throughout these intimate, heartfelt pages, Stone talks about her pivotal roles, life-changing friendships, worst disappointments, and her greatest accomplishments.
In a business that doesn't accept failure and in a world where too many voices are silenced- Stone found the power to return, the courage to speak up, and the will to make a difference in the lives of men, women, and children around the world.

The story of the Vanderbilts is a quintessential American fairy tale that began with Cooper's savvy but ruthless great-great-great-grandfather, nicknamed the Commodore, who amassed a tremendous fortune in his lifetime, but by the 21st century would be gone. This is an insider's view of a riveting saga of an American dynasty unlike any other.
