Now with More Holiday Cheer (New Recipes Too!)

"Wonderful....A must read come holiday time."--Roanoke Times

New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews's rollicking Christmas tale featuring the beloved characters from Savannah Blues and Savannah Breeze, now with a new cover and additional holiday recipes!

'Tis the week before Christmas, and antiques dealer Weezie Foley is in a frenzy to do up her shop right for the Savannah historical district decorating contest, which she fully intends to win. Her motif is Graceland Blue Christmas, with lots of tinsel, an aluminum tree, and enough tacky retro doodads to fill the Grand Ole Opry. But no sooner is she certain she's one-upped the trendy shop around the corner when Weezie notices things going strangely missing from her display.

Despite the petty burglaries of her mysterious midnight visitor, Weezie still has high hopes for the holiday. Perhaps even an engagement ring is in the offing from her chef boyfriend, though Daniel, usually moody around the yuletide, seems even more distant than ever. Throw in some seasonal eccentricities from Weezie's decidedly odd family, a miraculous 1950s Christmas-tree pin, and a little help from the King (Elvis!) himself, and even Scrooge would have to agree there's real magic in the Savannah air this Christmas.

Three bickering half sisters. One unique antiques shop. The coziest holiday season of their lives. Wildly different half sisters Maggie, Simone, and Star have hardly seen one another since their sprightly summers at Rowan Thorp, their eccentric father Augustus’s home. Known for his bustling approach to the knick-knack shop he ran, Augustus was loved by all and known by none, not even his daughters. Now, years later, the three estranged women are called upon for the reading of Augustus’s will and quickly realize he's orchestrated a series of hoops through which they must jump to unlock their inheritance—the last thing any of them want to do. But Maggie and Star desperately need the money. And who would Simone be to resist? Through hilarious goose chases, small-town mishaps, and one heart-warming winter solstice celebration, love is in the air, if only the three sisters can let themselves grasp it.

A teen girl gets the perfect second try at a first kiss in this hilarious, romp-filled young adult romantic comedy perfect for fans of Jenna Evans Welch and Hallmark Christmas movies.

Francie was born in a stable. Really. Granted, it was the deluxe model with the light-up star on the roof, one of the many Christmas items for sale at her family's Hollydale Holiday Shop. Their holiday gift empire also includes the Santa School, which was founded by Francie's beloved grandpa, who recently passed away.

Francie's always loved working in the shop, but lately Aunt Carole has been changing everything with her ideas for too-slick, Hollywood-inspired Santas and horrible holiday-themed employee uniforms. Aunt Carole's vision will ruin all the charm and nostalgia Francie loves about her family's business...unless she does something about it.

But this winter is about more than preserving the magic of Christmas. Francie is saving up for a car and angling to kiss the cute boy who works at the tree lot next door--hopefully it will be good enough to wipe her fiasco of a first kiss from her memory.

As the weather outside gets more and more frightful, can Francie pull off the holiday of her dreams?

A Simple Formula to Change the Trajectory of Your Life

This powerful book is the ultimate guide on how to create real happiness in your life, through finding, cultivating, and activating gratitude no matter what your life circumstances may be... and to do it in a way that will change the trajectory of your life. This book will show you how to make gratitude something you DO not just something you FEEL, and how to change your life quickly, simply and permanently as a result. Hal Elrod says, "This is the definitive 'gratitude how-to guide, ' a timeless classic... and it's a book that the world has needed for a long time." All it takes is one FLIP... that single moment when you decide that you want to stop thinking about the life you should be living and ACTUALLY START LIVING IT! This highly anticipated new book will show you that the life you want is a lot closer than you think. It's not what happens to us that defines and shapes our lives - it's how we CHOOSE to react to the things that come our way. There is only one person who gets to decide how happy and contented you feel, how meaningful your relationships are, how much control you have over your life, and how much success you have... and it's you! Do you want to create success out of failure? Do you want to feel hopeful about the future? Do you want your relationships to grow and thrive? Do you want to live an abundant life no matter what? Then it's time to stop focusing on the things that happen TO YOU and start being thankful IN YOUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, whatever they may be. It doesn't matter where you are right now or where you've been. You can begin re-writing your story immediately - and guarantee it will have a happy ending - simply by FLIPping the Gratitude Switch with the simple 4-step FLIP Formula! "As one who who has read countless books on person development - and learned tons from many of them - I rank this book as one of the most important ever!" -Bob Burg, Co-author of The Go Giver "Everyone needs to read this book." -Greg S. Reid, Author - Think and Grow Rich Series "FLIP The Gratitude Switch is simply a MASTERPIECE! This will become one of those books that goes down in history as a must read." -Rob Shallenberger, CEO of Becoming Your Best Global Leadership "The principle of gratitude is quickly gaining support in the psychological literature as the starting point for every life improvement. Kevin Clayson understands this in a way that is not only psychologically sound and accurate, but also refreshingly authentic and immediately applicable." -Paul H. Jenkins, Ph.D, Speaker, Author of Positivity Psychologist "As a Ghostwriter, I've written a lot of books (like, a lot), and I've never had one that's even come CLOSE to changing my life in the way that Kevin's has. You can ask my husband, my parents, and my kids... I'm a changed woman thanks to this book. And I'll always be grateful for Kevin and for the opportunity to work on this book that he poured his soul into." -Jennifer Lill Brown, Ghostwriter, Author, Freelance Writer, Mom "This book is 5 Stars for sure. I've already applied the FLIP quite a few times and it has really made an impact. Having kids with disabilities isn't an easy task, it is a TRUE blessing and I am so grateful for my little twin angels, the Lord knew I needed them, and being able to find the frustration then look for something good is something I'm always doing. Adding the other steps of Kevin's formula is taking things to a whole new level for me! This book is a game changer and life changing! I feel so blessed to have been able to read this book. It felt as if Kevin was person- ally there reading it to me." -Michele Wright, Mother of 4 Learn the simple 4-step Formula that will change the trajectory of your life, and the one secret that will make gratitude much more than an emotion that you feel from time to time.

Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism

The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
