I just saw an advertisement for a terry cloth toilet seat cover. NOT the lid… the seat. I just can not stop shuddering in revolution. I kinda want to click on the advertisement to see what on Earth their argument is for such a thing. You know if I do they will bombard me with constant advertisements for them though. UGH! So curious. SELF CONTROL WOMAN!

FREE for a limited time
Her great-grandmother’s journal holds the key to the past — and maybe her future.
Unable to say no when others need her, Talia Sampson took on her deceased aunt’s advice column, a worn-out Victorian home, and the care of her special needs niece, Bianca. Jilted by a man who didn’t want to share the responsibility of caring for her niece, the last thing Talia needs is a handyman who creates a flutter in her heart.
Enter new veteran, Ben Tanner, who shows up unexpectedly on her doorstep. Lost for many years within the foster system, and broken from the battlefield, he wonders where home truly is. And at the address the Welcome Home veteran’s program gave him, a frosty welcome from homeowner, Talia, isn’t what he expected. But with his skill set, he just might have something to offer her for a few of nights of lodging.
Talia and Ben search for building materials in the garage attic and discover two Sampson family heirlooms. Talia treasures the story the forgotten journal tells, but she secretly fears the hot-air balloon. Ben is intrigued by the ancient balloon and is intent on restoring it for her. Between a secret that shatters his trust and Talia’s self-doubt, it may take more than a leap of faith and going airborne in an antique balloon to overcome what keeps them apart.

Little Boy Lost – the true story of one boy’s heartache and hope while coming of age in small-town Tennessee in the 1970s.
As the youngest of three sons and a bona fide momma’s boy, David Peters thinks that having a mother who spends months at a time in psychiatric hospitals is normal. Then on St. Patrick’s Day 1974, his world shatters when she commits suicide.
At the age of 13, he’s left struggling to make sense of his mother’s death while facing a host of new challenges: the father who has lost his business and checked out of society, the stepmother who despises him and his brothers, and watching his family slide from middle class comfort to living on food stamps.
Ultimately, he finds healing, thanks to the assortment of “surrogate” parents who take him in, his buddies, and baseball and basketball.
Through it all, David discovers that even in life’s darkest moments, if you look hard enough for the light, eventually the sun will rise again.
By sharing his story, David Peters hopes that Little Boy Lost will help readers gain an understanding of how to find hope and healing after family trauma from mental illness and suicide.
