HEALTHY KIDS HAPPY MOMS by Sheila Kilbane, MD | Chapter One

From the international bestselling author of Baby Doll comes a post-apocalyptic mystery exploring the unshakeable bond between mothers and daughters and the sacrifices we make for the people we love.

If you knew the world was ending, what lengths would you go to protect the people you love? How would you ensure their survival? And what secrets would you want to stay buried? 

For Olivia Sullivan, the summer of 2024 was the beginning of the end. Political upheaval and natural disasters were bad enough, but danger arrives on her doorstep, threatening her triplet daughters, Olivia finds herself scrolling doomsday-prepping forums for hours determined to protect her family from the coming apocalypse. Olivia’s husband and friends insist she is being irrational, until she is swept away in a flash flood that devastated LA.

At least that’s the story her daughters, Rosie, Bettie, and Cassie, were always told.

Twenty years later, the triplets discover a box of their mother’s belongings that calls into question everything their father told them about their mother and her death. Reeling from this betrayal, the family returns to California, determined to uncover Olivia’s true fate. 

Confronted by an unfamiliar world where nothing and no one are what they seem, the sisters must unravel the truth about their father and the mother who may have abandoned them, while struggling to hold onto the one constant in their lives—each other. 

A Mother's Guide to the Apocalypse By Hollie Overton, Read By Eleanor Caudill (Audiobook Excerpt)

The most famous strength and conditioning coach in college football uses his story of hitting rock bottom and clawing his way back to success to inspire audiences in life, business and sports.

Few names in college football command respect like Scott Cochran, affectionately known as "Coach Yeah," the 8-time National Championship-winning strength and conditioning coach whose booming voice and relentless energy turned boys into champions at Alabama and Georgia. But behind the rings, ESPN appearances, and hall-of-fame-level hype, Cochran faced an opponent far tougher than any SEC rival: addiction.

Skull Session is his no-holds-barred account of rising to the top, falling hard, and clawing his way back with faith, grit, and the unwavering belief that champions are built in the mind as well as on the field. If Cochran is known for anything, it’s using his distinct voice to turn go-getters into champions. In this motivational book, Cochran blends raw personal testimony with the essential principles that have shaped some of the NFL's greatest stars, including Derrick Henry, Julio Jones, and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

This is a playbook for life. Each chapter centers on a core principle learned in what Cochran calls "skull sessions"—mental-development meetings that taught his players (and himself) to confront their fears, failures, and ambitions head-on. From his near-fatal overdose to his spiritual reawakening, Cochran reveals how he rebuilt his life one day at a time.

Perfect for sports fans, self-improvement readers, and anyone seeking redemption, Skull Session is the ultimate underdog story. It's a testament to the truth that no matter how many times you fall, you can rise again—and rise stronger.

Despite his newfound freedom, all is not well with Isaac. His actions have consequences, the dangerous magic he experimented with changing him from man to monster. But a monster might just be the only thing that can stand up to the Eternal King. Embracing the beast within, Isaac will see this broken nation shattered-even if it would cost the love of those he holds most dear.
