Book Description
In a single heart-throbbing moment, their eyes met and seized a part of each other’s hearts. Jahnvi Sen is a middleclass woman striving and surviving in the societies of aristocracy by the mercy of her own hand. She beat a crowd of designers to claim her position, as she started her journey with one man, Aarav Singhania. Now, after four years, when she was assigned a work in Silverbeech, she swore she would never fall for him again. Aarav Singhania, the CEO of Panache-styles, a chain of successful enterprises, had once made the mistake of letting one woman ruin his heart. Four years of abandonment made him become the tyrant he was now. Would he manage to prevent her from invading his sanity again when they meet after four years? It is said that heartbreak changes everything, and you die a thousand times in pain before you appreciate the phase of moving on. But how would their passions die when the only place of home and remittance were their old hearts. Had they annihilated their desire in layers and layers of pain? Or would the firestorms within them collide and burst into flames before they could finally heal their broken hearts?

Book Description
We live in a world where beauty is everything. Society tells us that if we just looked a certain way, if we had the right products, if we were skinny enough, then we would be enough —we would have value. Society is wrong, but it took Katie H. Willcox years to understand this: “Over the course of my 30 short years, I have both worked as a professional model and been the exact opposite of our culture’s beauty ideal. I have struggled with my weight and felt like I didn’t and never would fit in. Then I had a powerful realization: my misery and self-loathing didn’t change with my weight or how ‘pretty’ society thought I was, so my looks weren’t the source of happiness and worth that I had believed them to be. But then, what was? And how had I come to invest so much of myself in beliefs that were so untrue?” In these pages, Katie shares the lessons she learned in her journey to find the answers to these questions. She reveals who gains from our feeling small and why we need to examine the messages we receive from our culture and our families. She explains how we can redefine beauty, make healthy the new “skinny,” and harness the power of our thoughts to choose self-love. Katie encourages us to discover our true magnificent selves, find our purpose, and pursue our dreams —and help others to do the same. Join the movement!

Book Description
Life was anything but idyllic for Esther as a child. She grew up in Honduras in a small home built from driftwood collected along the beach from shipwrecks. With ten children in the house, food was scarce. But what her family lacked in material possessions, they made up for in love and a deep faith in God. At the tender age of seven, Esther was sent to live with a couple to work as their housemaid. What was done in love to provide Esther with food and better living accommodations turned into a twelve-year nightmare of physical and verbal abuse--something she kept hidden from her parents out of respect for their instruction to obey her employer. When Esther secured her freedom, she turned away from God and decided to do things her way. Sadly, her decisions led to more heartache and trials. The freedom she sought ended in other forms of slavery. Could she ever find true freedom? Did God hold the answer? Journey with Esther as she recounts her childhood, the lessons her parents taught her, her quest to come to America, two abusive marriages, and God's never-failing love and forgiveness in A Storm Within. Although her life has been battered by many storms, God has always been beside her.
