New Releases by Lillian Smith

Lillian Smith has been a writer on her illness in print and online media and helped many people by sharing her story with others. This book began as an idea when she was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of twenty-two and there were no books available to help her find answers to questions she was desperately seeking help for. She set out to write The Lupus Diaries in 2012 and, for over ten years, wrote journal entries on her life with Lupus, hoping to help young people and others with chronic illness so that they would find not only answers but hope about how to find a balance with illness and recovery from their disease. She offers real- life solutions with her real-life experience, with real-life stories that you can relate to. If you are seeking answers to a more balanced life with your chronic illness, or are newly diagnosed and want to find out how to cope, read this book, with very real and helpful chapters suchlike "''Dating and Chronic Illness''," "''Marriage and Chronic Illness''," "''Missing Out''," and much more. A memoir, a self-help book, and at heart, a true love story, this book offers lessons for everyone seeking help for their chronic illness.

It is strange that the subject of accounting can be so easy and yet cause some folks to form a mental block when trying to learn if the subject matter is not introduced correctly. Someone with a brilliant mind can learn it, accepting the accounting terms at the very beginning, but others are scared by the terms and find it a difficult subject. This book tries to do just that by introducing the student to the action and purpose of activities before giving the activity terms by name--giving the student a more comfortable learning experience on the way to becoming an educated accountant.

The Hessemans have become a much loved family through the historical novel, The Picnickers. Readers question, "What happened to all of them? How did life treat them?" The answer could be, "Quite well, thank you," but that is far too simple. Each Picnicker, though bountifully blessed, met and was led through countless life struggles. As transpires in real life, we do not know the outcome of the next chapter as the last closes, but faith, hope, and charity live on. While The Picnickers tracked a real but fictionalized family, A Blanket Benediction spins off perhaps the most illusory of The Picnickers'' plot segments, becoming a work of absolute fiction. Still the Hesseman heart and soul persist. Once again, you are invited to accompany a northwesterly journey on which Callie follows a passion and then veers off into her own orbit. Genetics cast aside, she bears the banner of pioneer determination, curiosity, and adventure, supported by Clint, whose background provides an unlikely complement. As a team, they come to personify the triumph of the fruits of the Spirit over human frailty and failure. Soon to come Miracle Downs, third in a series by the same author, will bring to life a trial of the picnicker "faith that will not shrink" as Clint and Callie realize his life dream and fall in love with their challenging, yet gifted, special child.
