Growing Up A Farm Girl Saved My Life – A Cambodian Genocide Survivor Remembers by Donna May Sanders

This powerful memoir tells the story of Veera Som, a young woman whose life was forever changed when the Khmer Rouge entered Battambang, Cambodia, in 1975. Forced from her home, she survived brutal work camps, hiding her education to stay alive, and eventually found her way to the United States.

Veera’s journey—from a quiet village in Cambodia to enduring one of history’s darkest chapters—highlights incredible resilience, courage, and the strength of the human spirit. Through her story, readers witness not only the horrors of genocide but also the hope and determination that can carry a life forward.

A testament to survival, fortitude, and the enduring power of memory.

Turning on the Light: My Mysterious Illness and the Year that Transformed Me by Susan Bruzas

In this deeply personal memoir, Susan Bruzas recounts the year she faced a “mysterious” illness that challenged everything she knew about herself and her life. Waking up from what felt like a long void, she was confronted with a choice: continue on a trajectory that might lead to death or step fully back into the life she loved.

Through reflection, resilience, and the support of family, friends, and her spiritual practice, Susan navigates a journey of healing, self-discovery, and gratitude. Her story is a thoughtful exploration of illness, recovery, and the transformative power of awareness and presence.

A story for anyone interested in courage, reflection, and the extraordinary ways life can change in a single year.

Midwest Book Review Spotlight!

The October 2025 issue of Midwest Book Review highlights Barb Greenberg’s Rose Hope, praising its heartfelt exploration of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of friendship as Rosie navigates life’s challenges.

Midwest Book Review

Greenberg’s careful crafting of various personalities and perspectives lends an evocative, compelling feel to Rosie’s story that will attract a wide audience and prove equally suitable for women’s reading groups.

Libraries acquiring Rose Hope will want to recommend it to women exploring their own grief, life changes, and emotional connections, as well as to book clubs interested in moving stories of transformation.

Those who partake of Rose Hope will find Rosie’s story ultimately uplifting, encouraging, thought-provoking, and a source of inspiration much needed in these modern divided times.

Midwest Book Review Spotlight!

The Midwest Book Review shares high praise for Mary Walerak’s Finding Alineade, highlighting Charlie’s magical journey, emotional growth, and vivid adventures that middle grade readers will find truly compelling:

Powered by a magic cloak and perceptions those around her don’t seem to cultivate, Charlie experiences new things which are “exactly her idea of heaven,” stays focused on her ultimate destination, and notes the beauty and illusions of her world as her heart begins to grow and open.

Middle grade readers who choose Finding Alineade for leisure pursuit will find its incorporation of magic and emotional growth and realizations to be compelling and eye-opening. It’s the kind of story that lends well to classroom discussion and middle grade book group inspection, as well as library acquisition and recommendation.

With its wonderful, invigorating survey of novel ideas about support systems and new experiences, Charlie and her adventure comes to life in a thought-provoking, vivid manner that middle grade readers will find extraordinarily compelling.

About the Book: Vegas Goodbye by Donna M. Cramer

Amid the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, two strangers arrive at the same crossroads of despair—each carrying unbearable grief, each searching for a way to end their pain.

Debra, mourning the loss of her husband, and John, devastated by his son’s overdose, find themselves in a city that never sleeps but hides deep shadows. Their unexpected connection begins to shift something within them—reminding us that even in the darkest places, there can be moments of understanding, compassion, and the quiet stirrings of hope.

Vegas Goodbye is a deeply human story of loss, healing, and the fragile courage it takes to keep living when life feels impossible. It’s a reminder that hope can return, even when it feels out of reach.
