Family & Relationships

Don’t Pull Your Sister’s Hair is the story of Sam Flood Jr.—the boy who didn’t speak until he was five has become a man who wants to tell stories for a living.

Sam Flood was born on January 1, 1994, two weeks late. Walking and running at ten months, he didn’t speak until age five. “From the outset, Sam seemed to have his own idea for how life should be,” writes his father in the opening chapter, in which Sam pieces together his memories with stories told by his family to describe what it was like for Sam to express himself, from pulling his sister Eliza’s hair to wandering to Häagen-Dazs at age three.

Sam’s inability to speak concerned his parents, who consulted doctors to figure out what was wrong. One specialist said Sam would never graduate from high school, let alone go to college. Turning to writing, reading, and his own sense of humor to cope with constant bullying for his differences, Sam proved them wrong, earning a BA from Mitchell College in Connecticut.

Any family can find hope in Sam’s story. Anyone who feels different, misunderstood, bullied, or unfairly treated in life can find light in the way Sam charted his course. This is a story of neurodiversity, but it’s not just for people dealing with ADHD, autism, or any other diagnostic label, because everyone has unique ways of thinking, processing, and behaving. 

Don’t Pull Your Sister’s Hair is about the moments where neurodiversity creates opportunity. It’s the story of what’s possible.

Modern medicine considers Autism to be an "incurable diagnosis." Warrior Mom challenges this claim, sharing one mother's journey to heal her son.

For any parent who has heard the chilling words "your child has autism," Tracy Slepcevic offers hope, inspiration, and advice to help you navigate the system, evaluate different treatment options, and heal your child’s underlying conditions.

After her son Noah had a severe regression after meeting all his milestones, Tracy spent years trying to figure out what was wrong with her little boy. Once given a diagnosis, doctors said Noah would never lead a fully functioning life, but Tracy knew this was not her son’s fate.

Refusing to give up, Tracy read dozens of books, attended autism conferences, and spent countless hours researching how to heal her child. She was determined to turn her son around from what doctor’s called an "incurable diagnosis" so that Noah could live his best life possible. Over the years, Noah made great progress with biomedical intervention and lives a fully functional life today with a bright future ahead of him.

Warrior Mom is an inspiring story of hope and an indispensable guidebook for any parent desperate to hear the truth that autism is not a hopeless diagnosis and that many underlying conditions associated with autism are treatable.

Wish you could know on your first dining date if you’ll want a second? Want to stop wasting time with the wrong person?

There is a way. Food Talks!

Food is essential in our lives—from survival to socializing. It plays a powerful role in our relationships, and our food experiences, from childhood to adulthood, reveal truths about who we are and the people around us. Everything we hear, see, and experience through food carries meaning.

For Denise, dinners with her ex-boyfriends’ mothers turned out to be the most honest introductions she never got. Their mothers’ food whispered truths about the men she was dating.

Not only did their food speak volumes—all food experiences do.

Denise shares that every restaurant choice, kitchen habit, and family table tells a story. How someone orders. What they cook for you. Whether they share their fries or guard their plate. These aren’t small details—they’re previews of what life with them looks like.

Combining the nuances of food and dating reveals how choices and actions around food can uncover deep insights into a person’s values, personality, and relationship compatibility. More than just sustenance, food is a powerful social and emotional indicator that shapes attraction and intimacy—it tells you exactly who’s sitting across the table from you.

In the end, you’ll know whether your date’s ingredients are “Tasty” or “Not Tasty” for your plate. Whether you’re having coffee, cocktails, or a meal—in a restaurant, bar, lounge, at a family or friend’s home, or even in your own kitchen—Food Talks!

Learn from real-life anecdotes, using humor to convey practical, modern-day dating wisdom.

Denise shows you how to make your own “Recipe for Love” with the Recipe Ingredient’s Card inside—just for you.

A relationship and self-help book for both men and women.

When the heart still whispers don’t give up yet—it’s time to listen. One overlooked truth could change everything.

Childhood & the Enneagram serves as an innovative guide for parents and caregivers, offering invaluable insights into raising resilient, self-aware, and compassionate children.

Drawing from a blend of attachment theory, childhood development, and the transformative power of the Enneagram, Susan Parker Jones shares a philosophy and approach rooted in her experience as a psychotherapist specializing in childhood trauma and loss.

In a world where parenting advice often feels overwhelming and one-size-fits-all, Susan offers a refreshing approach that blends ancient wisdom with modern insights.

Inviting parents and guardians on a transformative journey of self-discovery and compassionate parenting, she empowers caregivers to understand their children’s unique personalities and needs on a deeper level, fostering authentic connections and resilience from an early age.

Susan emphasizes the importance of nurturing children’s three centers of intelligence—head (IQ), heart (EQ), and body (GQ)—to cultivate “wholehearted connection” while instilling the truth that every child is brave and worthy of love and belonging.

Caregivers are invited to embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploring their own childhood narratives alongside practical strategies for guiding their children.

Ultimately, this helpful guide equips caregivers with the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of childhood development, fostering deeper connections with their children while prioritizing their own well-being.

By embracing this journey, caregivers can aspire to raise resilient, empathetic individuals prepared to face the world with courage, wisdom, and compassion.

While practicing medicine in the NICU full time for over thirty years, Susan Landers, MD met and managed many trials raising her three children, trials typical for many working mothers, such as breastfeeding, sibling rivalry, bedwetting, dyslexia, a gifted child, ADHD, a dog bite, and an adolescent eating disorder. The challenges of a full time practice and many twenty-four-hour shifts in the high-stress NICU always complicated issues with Susan’s children, but also provided her the privilege of caring for thousands of critically ill newborn infants.

Susan always felt that her career and accomplishments in medicine were equally as rewarding as raising three children. It was the constant attempt to balance these two worlds – physician and mother - that was so daunting a task. Susan believes that most, if not all, working mothers are similarly challenged as they attempt to manage their work and being a good mother. So Many Babies describes Susan’s experiences of finding resilience and endurance throughout her career as a physician and mother. It is an entertaining and reassuring story for working mothers.

Separated and trying to navigate the co-parenting world?

Separation often brings with it trauma, stressors, and obstacles that make it difficult to see a way forward. By working together as collaborative co-parents, separating couples can protect their children from conflict and the impact of divorce and separation.

Children do best in environments where there is stability. Separation is a when time separating parents need to put their children’s well-being ahead of their own and make decisions that help them raise their children in the healthiest and happiest way possible.

Although the family unit is no longer the same, it’s still a family. Acknowledging this and putting their children’s needs ahead of anger and conflict will help separated couples to co-parent in a more effective way.

Separated parents can coexist if they have respectful boundaries and the right rules and tools in place. Learning to effectively communicate and have positive dialogue is often the first step. By implementing a set of agreed rules around their co-parenting relationship, they can give their children the gift of safety, security, and stability following separation.

In The Collaborative Co-Parent, Gabriella Pomare, a separation and parenting expert, helps separating parents on their journey to redefining the family unit and co-existing peacefully with their former partner.

Readers discover how they were destined to experience disappointments, upsets, and frustrations in a relationship and why attempts to improve, fix, or change their relationship, their partner, and themselves only exacerbate the problems. Lon and Sandy disclose hidden truths about the nature and design of relationship and illuminate previously unseen mechanisms that undermine all relationships. Relationship: The Real Deal is an opportunity for couples to break free of relationship killers and experience freedom—a pathway for creating new relationship unfettered by the past.

Should I Leave My Relationship or Not? provides women with the needed tools to figure out what exactly is the right move for them, and not just a pro/con list (which is a terrible way to decide).

Unhitched tracks Sunny Joy McMillan’s own journey, from once living a seemingly perfect life on paper but really hiding an unhappy and high-conflict marriage, all the way to a loving, post-divorce friendship with her ex-husband. Demonstrated through both her own story and case studies from her clients, Sunny’s guide outlines a clear process for answering the question of whether to stay or go, shows women how to get divorced gracefully should they decide to leave, and tells women how to create a better, new life.

Unhitched provides women with the clarity to make the right decisions for their marriage, courage to take the right action, and confidence that their life can be better on the other side. Although this guide is practical and includes many tangible exercises and tools, it is unlike similarly-themed guides in that it takes a less sterile and more heart-centered, spiritually-based approach to making tough decisions and taking tough action in a marriage.

So why isn’t this enough? She married for safety and security. She married the good guy who wouldn’t hurt her. She plays the role of super-mom, because she can and because she can’t seem to say no to anyone, but her husband. But after long days of caring for everyone else, connecting with her husband in any meaningful way feels like a chore, like he’s one more person that needs something from her. She has love for her husband, the father of her children, but she fears she’s fallen out of love with him.

She chose this path, this marriage, this life – so why does she feel so empty and alone? If this isn’t enough, will it ever be enough? What would it take to feel happy? Is that even possible? What kind of miracle is needed for this – all of this – to feel good?

Why Isn’t This Marriage Enough guides women to find the answers to that important question and explores whether the marriage can be transformed into a relationship that feels like more than enough.

Heading into the unknown world of adult orphanhood?

Helping one’s parents as they age and eventually leave this world can be difficult. While caring for them perfectly isn’t a realistic expectation, it is possible to let them go without losing sight of kindness and compassion for them and the caregiver.

When parents begin to need assistance, the path from mild annoyance to complete overwhelm can change in an instant. Given the combination of family dynamics, health concerns, and current life responsibilities, it should be little surprise that there is no “one-size-fits-all” answer. Friction between siblings, parents, and caregivers can quickly intensify as everyone tries to map out the best plan of action.

Having lost her father at a young age and then much later assisting her mother through the last years of her long life, author Ingrid Hanson-Popp offers both soulful advice and practical tips through her own story and the stories of more than a dozen friends who are fellow orphans—those who have entered the new world of life without Mom or Dad.

• Realize how compassion can help one successfully navigate the uncharted waters of grief and becoming an adult orphan.
• Learn tips to take care of oneself while caring for aging parents

The healthy integration of caring for an aging parent requires being able to walk them all the way to the end of their life while still having a life to walk back into. No Regrets helps caregivers consider how being intentional in their season of caring will allow them to care for their loved one well while at the same time not losing themselves in the caring.
