Joy Becomes a Queen is based on the author's own childhood experiences. As a young girl, Elisha Danzik loved dressing up like a princess and imagining herself as one. But even still, she found herself feeling insecure about her outward appearance. Through her journey in pageants, Elisha learned that a crown and dress doesn't make you royalty - but the way you act can impact and inspire others. Elisha believes that every girl can be a queen. In this engaging short story, Joy finds the true meaning of royalty and discovers what it means to be transformed from a self-focused Princess to a Queen who lives for the good of others. After all, "Princesses look in the mirror, but Queens look at their kingdom." Elisha Joy is a 17 year old professional model, digital creator, and pageant queen. She has held multiple pageant titles, and was crowned the Miss Colorado Teen in 2020. Elisha hosts her own podcast called "The Royal You," and speaks on topics such as confidence, leadership, and self-respect. She has been speaking publicly since she was 6 years old and feels blessed to share this story God has given her. Elisha is passionate about using her digital and pageant platforms to inspire women of all ages to step into their royal identity.

Elaine Sturtz shares in Living in the Different that grief is messy, hard, painful, filled with tears and loneliness, but it also includes faith, hope and love. She walks through the journey, the emotions, the changes and hurts. Each grief is different, and grief changes our lives. We are different, and how we live and interact with others is different. The journey of grief takes different forms as we learn to live and mingle joy and sorrow together. Elaine offers hope-a hope of hope-through these passages of sorrow and loss. Hope is found in our faith in God who is love, and love never ends. As you read these words, may God bring comfort and guidance and give you hope.

Like life, grief has its own set of seasons. We all will eventually face them head-on, in our own time and at our own pace. No matter what our loss, we must learn how to endure and survive our seasons in order to live fully again. In a memoir that follows the metaphor of the seasons, Ernestine Rose provides an enlightening glimpse into her walk through grief after her beloved husband of forty-one years passed away in 2016. Beginning with the season of summer, Ernestine first recounts the year preceding Art's death as he bravely battled sarcoidosis and eventually succumbed to the disease. As she leads others through the often cold and lonely seasons of autumn and winter, Ernestine details how she grieved her monumental loss and slowly learned how to live without Art. Finally as she reveals her entrance into spring, Ernestine discloses how she found renewal, hope, and faith in a new beginning while gently reminding others that we all heal in our own time. Seasons is the true story of a widow's journey through the seasons of grief that shares words of wisdom that will help those in mourning to learn to live, love, and dance again.
