Gemma Sinclair is coming undone.

At first glance, she seems to have it all: a successful career as a therapist, a devoted husband, two young sons, and a beautiful home. But upon closer inspection, there are serious fractures rooted in professional demands, family stresses, and—most notably—the unexpected onset of postpartum depression.

After a frightening accident injures her newborn son, Gemma lies about who is responsible. As her lies compound and pressure builds, she has no choice but to confront long-buried family secrets. Gemma soon finds her career threatened, her marriage in jeopardy, and her sanity stretched to the breaking point.

With poignant humor, crackling dialogue, and unflinching honesty, The Inconvenient Unraveling of Gemma Sinclair is about a woman in crisis, determined to find her way through past trauma toward love, forgiveness, and—ultimately—rebirth.

Worldwide, unpaid dementia caregiving requires the equivalent of forty million full-time workers, and that number will only grow. But navigating dementia caregiving can feel like trying to climb a mountain in the dark—and few resources exist to support caregivers in finding their way.

In Before I Lose My Own Mind, Thorn—a psychologist, neuroscientist, and end-of-life doula—provides an honest vision of caregiving that is tender, openhearted, and genuinely useful.

Filled with resources and insights on financial planning, advance care directives, clinical trials, support groups, death with dignity, grief, recovery, and more, this book is a roadmap for all caregivers, whether they’re family or friends, spouses or children, professionals or novices.

For those coping with the grief, exhaustion, and loneliness of a challenge they never expected, help is out there. Surviving dementia caregiving is a team effort. Consider this book a part of your support crew.

Inspired by the author’s real-life story, Chasing Air is a powerful reminder that the greatest adventures often come when you least expect them.

Allison Blanchet has always lived at full throttle. From racing down small-town Georgia streets on her bicycle in the 1960s and ’70s to feeling the rush of adrenaline in a Corvette, in the paddock of the Daytona International Speedway, and in the heights of the Himalayas, Allison has led a life fueled by adventure.

But after a life-altering accident, Allison faces the toughest challenge of all: learning how to find peace, joy, and meaning amid grief and loss. Her journey is a poignant reflection on how life’s deepest struggles can also offer its most profound adventures—and how love, loss, and triumph are inextricably connected.

Chasing Air is a fierce reminder to stay curious, keep dreaming, and dare to soar—no matter where you start.

Finally—the real story about building wealth and letting go of financial fears.

The world tells us two divergent stories about money. Either you must work, grind, and struggle, or you just sit back, let go, and watch the universe rain abundance on you. Of course, neither story is true. Financial expert Diana Richey reveals that we can change our relationship with money by interrogating the forces that influence our lives—and learning to maximize the potential energy within and around us.

The Loving Truth About Money explores how both inner work (a deep dive into who you are and what larger powers support you) and outer work (the actionable steps you can take to make financial decisions) can align to lead you to the abundance and peace you know deep down is possible. Richey’s three-step process demonstrates how to move beyond your limiting beliefs to harness the power of energetics, creating financial security and the life of your dreams while investing in the world you want to see.

Richey’s guidance is rooted in her own experience and expertise in the financial sector as an attorney and certified financial planner and is a distillation of her twenty-year path from a life that felt like a beautiful prison to a life that’s peaceful, joyful, and aligned. Whether you’re a new or seasoned investor, you will find time-tested advice to help you forge your own road to financial peace.

Can one woman stop a chemical magnate from destroying life on Earth?

While working the night shift at a San Francisco news agency, Bayla Jeevan has a shocking out-of-body experience. Her consciousness is transported deep into an Indian forest, where she witnesses a noxious liquid spreading through the soil. At the same time, she receives a message from her father, presumed dead for fifteen years, warning her of imminent danger. Coincidence? Unlikely.

Halfway around the world, agrochemical corporation ZedChem-led by billionaire Krakun Zed-tests its latest innovation, a product heralded as the solution to topsoil erosion. But the data reveals something else entirely.

As Bayla sets out looking for answers, she learns more about her past-and her family’s connections to a secret organization with ancient roots and to Zed himself. Will Bayla be able to stop the corporation from ruining global agriculture and devastating human existence forever?

In this action-packed eco-thriller, the bonds of family-and the power to save Earth-are put to the test.

Creating Books That Build Brands for Entrepreneurs and Serious Authors

For Entrepreneurs, by Entrepreneurs

In 2006, publishing executives Ingrid Emerick and Leslie "LAM" Miller left the world of traditional publishing and struck out on their own. Why? Because they believed that flexibility isn't a pipe dream. They had faith that people can perform creative, collaborative work, have fun, and still have lives. Because they knew that they could help authors reach their goals and achieve their dreams. And lastly, but certainly not least, they were clear that women need to build, create, and lead.

GFP is proud to be a women-owned and women-led firm, helmed by Emerick and Miller, along with Christina Henry de Tessan, Meghan Harvey, and Kristin Mehus-Roe.
