God’s Ex-Wife : David M. Woodland and Jessica Hernandez
God’s Ex-Wife
David M. Woodland and Jessica Hernandez met when the former was a teacher and the latter was a student at New York City’s infamous Murry Bergtraum High School (ranked “Worst High School in New York” by the New York Times year after year after year).
Bonded by a love of writing and storytelling, and both knowing how it feels to be marginalized (as a gay man and a Black woman, respectively), they have created a “Bible” of sorts, a beacon of hope to America’s young misfits, especially those trapped in parts of the country we know as “The MoFN” (aka Middle of F**king Nowhere).
Set almost entirely in the 90’s, God’s Ex-Wife is a “novoir” (part novel/part memoir) in which anecdotes from both authors’ lives are woven into a work of fiction, though every character in the story was inspired (at least in part) by an actual person.
Themes of gender identity and sexism, race and racism, money, fame, spirituality, and LGBTQ issues abound, all in the span of 240 pages, knowing the competition for a young (16-24) audience includes social media, Netflix, and Hulu.
A teacher and student co-authoring a book makes God’s Ex-Wife the first of its kind.

Become the Person you Fear : Lee Hutchins
Become the Person you Fear: Find you amongst everybody else
There are times throughout life when something doesn’t feel right. You can’t seem to put your finger on it, but you know it exists. Have you ever felt this way? You probably have and this is normal as we move on in life. It feels like there is something not quite right about our working, social and personal life and all we want to do is burst out of our skin and do something completely different.
“Becoming the Person you Fear”; is the story for you, and together, we will take a journey that will provide insight, interesting thoughts and lead to plenty of questions about yourself. Finally, at the end of the book, you will write your own personalised self-help book, tailored to your needs.
The world is ours for the taking, however, we sometimes get so caught in our routine that we forget the true meaning of what it is to live. We seem to waste time, even though it is depreciating quicker than ever. What once seemed like the ideal life has now become a never-ending cycle of bills, too much information, working more than having free time and a society that has gone a little crazy. It becomes hard to stop for a moment, take a deep breath and have a good hard look at where we are in life, where we are going and what we want for ourselves.
The goal of this book is to help you to stop and think about what is most important to you in life and steer you to where you want to go and need to be.

100 Days of Food Freedom : Ari Snaevarsson
Have you resigned yourself to a life of food anxiety, body hatred, and diet obsession? Have you given up all hope that recovery is possible? It’s understandable you would.
Most recovery-oriented resources out there offer disjointed soundbites of feel-good platitudes. You understand the various messages floating around in therapy, but you just want to know what to do when. And that’s exactly what this journey offers.
100 Days of Food Freedom is a guided journey through self-directed recovery from your eating disorder. For the next 100 days, you will be completing various tasks, exposures, habits, and “Adventures.” This will culminate in a state we call Food Freedom. You do not even need to have an eating disorder diagnosis to benefit. Anyone suffering from disordered eating who is motivated enough to change can and will recover using the tools throughout this journey.
What will you gain from embarking on this journey?
●True confidence in your body
●Freedom to enjoy eating without the anxiety
●A quieting of the disordered thoughts
●Mindful awareness of life’s joys
●Profound personal growth
Whether you suffer from restrictive eating, binge eating, purging, body image issues, over-exercising, or any disordered behaviors that obstruct you from living a life of freedom, this book is for you.
