Bree collects her complete catalog of song lyrics with a personal essay about using poetry and songwriting to break cycles of trauma, and create something valuable, and empowering. Writing, art, music- all forms of art-making require utter focus. That focus, mindfulness, excludes worries about the past or future. It is the same concentration people use meditation and yoga to achieve. While we create, or listen to music or see art- our bodies and minds naturally begin to heal themselves, bolstering our immunity, releasing dopamine while reducing cortisol, lowering the blood pressure and more. Art is the one thing a person can control, in a world of chaos. It boosts self-esteem and motivates us to improve ourselves, and strive always for better health, and peace of mind. Finding and using our own singular voices helps us know ourselves better, and can help us make better choices. Songwriting, like most creative endeavors, is usually a lone one, but once written, a song can reach innumerable people. During the act of writing a song, or making art, the body and mind are become vehicles for something greater than our endless stream of thoughts. Something inimitable which may only be sensed or intimated, such as a path towards our true selves. This book collects 44 songs, one for each year of the author's life, complete with anecdotal remarks about how, when, and why she wrote each song. It effectively illustrates art-making can motivate a person with anxiety, insomnia and very little freedom to break through hardships in order not only to survive, but thrive.

When former Marine, Sean Cody, Baldwin Aviation's premier helicopter pilot, sees wealthy, aristocratic businesswoman, Diana North, striding across the tarmac toward him, he groans. The woman, accurately dubbed the "Ice Queen" by the shuttle service's office manager, is trouble. Against his better judgement, Sean bundles her into the chopper, and takes off for a weekend outing at a West Virginia ski resort. During the ill-fated excursion, the pilot is given a brief glimpse beneath his passenger's frosty veneer, and finds himself unwisely drawn to the warm, genuine woman he sees under the ice. Unwisely drawn, because the woman is older, married, and loaded. Though Sean fights against the growing attraction he feels for the older woman, he is frustrated by Diana's quicksilver nature, never knowing which woman will appear, the "Ice Queen" or the warm woman beneath the ice. Sean wonders if he'll ever be able to melt the thick layer of frost Diana uses to protect herself when she feels threatened. Diana North embraces her "Ice Queen" nickname and uses the protection it provides to survive her loveless, unfulfilling marriage of convenience. The laser-focused executive is surprised by the immediate attraction she feels to the daring young helicopter pilot. Uncharacteristically, she lowers her guard and opens up to him, until danger threatens, then she slams down the icy cold façade once more. When, as a result of deliberate sabotage, the helicopter's onboard computer fails, and the electrical system shorts out, it sets off a devastating string of events, from which Sean and his passenger narrowly escape with their lives. Stranded on a deserted mountaintop, with temperatures and snow falling, they begin a desperate trek to find their way to safety, and to each other. Throughout their headlong flight, Sean and Diana fight against the mutual attraction growing between them, while they struggle to figure out who is behind the frightening attempt on their lives. Spring Thaw takes readers along with this fascinating, resilient duo, on their perilous journey of danger, betrayal, and discovery, through the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, to the Roanoke Valley, Smith Mountain Lake, and beyond. It's a wild, romantic ride you don't want to miss!

Late in his sophomore year of high school, Bartosz Ulryk and his mom are visited by a New York attorney who tells them he has been instructed by his client to tell Bartosz he has great expectations, in recognition of his last three years of independent study in mathematics. He is to complete high school at Kent School, a high-powered prep school in Connecticut, and, thereafter, be enrolled in Princeton's doctoral program. All expenses are to be paid by a benefactor who shall remain anonymous until that person chooses otherwise.Bartosz subsequently visits his girlfriend to share this gratuitous plan, only to have Georgiana doubt its ultimate worth, maintaining that Bartosz, with his grades, could go to Princeton on his own, earning a full scholarship, and not have some anonymous benefactor messing in his life.Georgiana's objections notwithstanding, Bartosz does study at Kent and finds he will, indeed, be better prepared to earn his Ph.D. in mathematics at Princeton. The drawback becomes painfully apparent when he returns home for Thanksgiving, where he and Georgiana frantically try to make up for their time apart. What is more, by Christmas break Georgiana notices changes in Bartosz that go deeper than his losing his Brooklynese accent. For one, he seems increasingly enamored of wealth. Then, upon arriving home for his spring break, he tells Georgiana he now intends to pursue a career in the much more lucrative field of public relations.Infuriated by this fait accompli, Georgiana reminds Bartosz of his earliest goal of becoming another Einstein. Bartosz facetiously cites Einstein's meager starting salary at Princeton. Georgiana tells Bartosz he has lost the best part of himself and that earning a living by glibly manipulating words to disguise the truth is not only reprehensible, it is a waste she wants no part of.More than seven years later, a financially successful Bartosz returns home where Georgiana tells him he has, in fact, become the person she foresaw when they separated and demands he get off her world. It is only then Bartosz realizes that in accepting wealth as the measure, he has lost everything of value. Still, a chance for a way back comes from a surprising source.
