Book Description
A bold and inspiring memoir and manifesto from a renowned voice in the women's leadership movement who shows women how to cultivate the single skill they really need in order to thrive: the ability to let go. Once the poster girl for doing it all, after she had her first child, Tiffany Dufu struggled to accomplish everything she thought she needed to in order to succeed. Like so many driven and talented women who have been brought up to believe that to have it all, they must do it all, Dufu began to feel that achieving her career and personal goals was an impossibility. Eventually, she discovered the solution: letting go. In Drop the Ball, Dufu recounts how she learned to reevaluate expectations, shrink her to-do list, and meaningfully engage the assistance of others—freeing the space she needed to flourish at work and to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships at home. Even though women are half the workforce, they still represent only eighteen per cent of the highest level leaders. The reasons are obvious: just as women reach middle management they are also starting families. Mounting responsibilities at work and home leave them with no bandwidth to do what will most lead to their success. Offering new perspective on why the women’s leadership movement has stalled, and packed with actionable advice, Tiffany Dufu’s Drop the Ball urges women to embrace imperfection, to expect less of themselves and more from others—only then can they focus on what they truly care about, devote the necessary energy to achieving their real goals, and create the type of rich, rewarding life we all desire.

She watched her marriage disintegrate as she confronted a trail of devastating lies about her husband's double life. She had lost all that mattered, but she was a survivor. She fought to restore her health, repair her broken heart, and rebuild herself. Along the way, she gained clarity about her core values, ultimately coming to a deeper understanding of what it means to have it all. Through down-to-earth, short vignettes, When All Balls Drop shows us how it's possible to look up in spite of pain, deceit, and loss. Heidi's memoir -- rich with hope and humor -- inspires anyone who's had to confront tragedy and reassess their life in the wake of life-altering events.

He's an alpha tiger shifter and the town's rich, pretty boy with a chip on his shoulder to match. The circle of people he cares for is more of a dot, occupied by a single man, his college track and field coach, Wesley. Closer to forty than he'd like to admit, Wesley is the gorilla omega who never quite found the one to settle down with. Not for lack of trying on his parent's part. They can't stop setting him up. Sometimes, they even try to trap him. Like when they stole his heat suppressors right before a date, hoping it would drive him into the man of their dreams. But Wesley retreats to the one spot he knows he can be alone over the weekend while he rides out his heat. He sets up camp in his office on campus, ready to endure another torturous heat without relief. Except, his plan to ride it out alone is ruined when Maddox breaks into the school on his own agenda. That agenda is quickly derailed when he stumbles upon his coach in need. Coach makes Maddox feel like maybe he isn't just the town's asshole. He's an alpha. Wesley's alpha. While Maddox strives to be the type of man Wesley would want to obey, his conniving, abusive father has hatched a plan that threatens to ruin everything. With the holidays swirling around them, and the new year looming, finding their kiss at midnight seems impossible but Maddox didn't work this hard discovering his home in Wesley to give up now.

It features themes of a school-based, age gap romance centered in a small town occupied entirely by shifters.
