Reigning light-heavyweight boxing champion Billy 'The Great' Hope (Gyllenhaal) has a loving wife (Rachel McAdams) and child and a promising career ahead of him. However, Billy finds himself in danger of losing all of that after tragedy strikes and he is declared unfit to look after his young daughter Leila (Oona Laurence).
Having hit rock-bottom, Billy desperately tries to regain control of his life and win back custody of his little girl with the help of boxing trainer Titus 'Tick' Wills (Whitaker).
The founder of the first female-focused recovery program offers a groundbreaking look at alcohol and a radical new path to sobriety.
We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but.
When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she embarked on a journey that led not only to her own sobriety, but revealed the insidious role alcohol plays in our society and in the lives of women in particular. What’s more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as the tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. Fueled by her own emerging feminism, she also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people—who don’t need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Holly found an alternate way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create a sober community with resources for anyone questioning their relationship with drinking, so that they might find their way as well. Her resultant feminine-centric recovery program focuses on getting at the root causes that lead people to overindulge and provides the tools necessary to break the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we remove alcohol and destroy our belief system around it.
Written in a relatable voice that is honest and witty, Quit Like a Woman is at once a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol in order to live our best lives without the crutch of intoxication. You will never look at drinking the same way again.
Parallel Lines is a collection of eight very different scenarios
set in seven very different versions of Earth. Each mission is
self-contained, but the collection can be played as a complete
campaign with the characters forming an elite team in Valhalla's
Mjollnir Section.The adventures include the Salem Witch Trials, a
post-apocalyptic Camargue, an Orwellian Britain, epic journeys by
airship and Trans-Siberian Express, a voyage to the bottom of the
sea, an investigation through the streets of a disintegrating
Edinburgh, and a murder hunt through a dystopian London.Packed with
wild ideas and creative locations, along with dozens of colourful
NPCs (and some distinctly weird ones), Parallel Lines is
transplanar adventuring at its very best.Parallel Lines requires
access to both Luther Arkwright: Roleplaying Across the Parallels
and Mythras for full enjoyment.
Right. Wrong. Life is lived somewhere in between.
Duchess Day Radley is a thirteen-year-old self-proclaimed outlaw. Rules are for other people. She is the fierce protector of her five-year-old brother, Robin, and the parent to her mother, Star, a single mom incapable of taking care of herself, let alone her two kids.
Walk has never left the coastal California town where he and Star grew up. He may have become the chief of police, but he’s still trying to heal the old wound of having given the testimony that sent his best friend, Vincent King, to prison decades before. And he's in overdrive protecting Duchess and her brother.
Now, thirty years later, Vincent is being released. And Duchess and Walk must face the trouble that comes with his return. We Begin at the End is an extraordinary novel about two kinds of families―the ones we are born into and the ones we create.
A gripping, sweeping new epic from the critically-acclaimed #1
international bestselling author of We Begin At The End, Chris
Whitaker. A missing persons mystery. A serial killer thriller. A
love story. One of the must-read novels of the year.

guaranteed.The Disruptors know. And they are intent on subverting
the multiverse for their own ends, to destabilise countries,
instigate wars, bring about destruction.The Valhalla Project was
established to stop the Disruptors; to uncover their plans,
identify their agents, and eliminate them. Their best agent is
Luther Arkwright, unique in the multiverse, a powerful psychic, but
himself unstable. Arkwright does not work alone. There are others.
