The book of boundaries : set the limits that will set you free / by Urban, Melissa,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Since launching the mega-bestselling wellness program the Whole30, Melissa Urban has taught millions of people how to establish healthy habits, and how to deal with pushback and peer pressure. Now, in The Book of Boundaries, Urban shows how we can all make our lives bigger, richer, and more fulfilling through the magic of boundaries. According to Urban, establishing boundaries--carefully evaluating how other people's behaviour impacts you, then clearly communicating and consistently enforcing limits around what you will and will not tolerate in response to those behaviours--is the key to better mental health, improved self-confidence, and more fulfilling relationships. She explains: - How to identify the signals that a boundary needs to be set - The minimum dose/maximum effect method - How to hold a boundary - What to do if people respond poorly - How to establish consequences if your needs are not respected. A no-holds-barred guide, written with warmth and humour, The Book of Boundaries shows how a few carefully selected words, spoken with kindness and from a place of self-care, are all that stands between you and feelings of calm, ease, confidence, and freedom."--

The captive / by Foster, Fiona King,1977-author.;
"A rural noir about a woman on a pulse-pounding expedition to deliver a fugitive--and forced to confront her own past on the journey"--In a secessionist rural state that has cut itself off completely from urban centres, where living is hardscrabble and poor but "free," Brooke Holland runs a farm with her husband and two daughters. Their existence at the fringes of modern society is tenuous--they make barely enough from each harvest to keep going--yet Brooke cherishes the loving, peaceful life they have carved out for themselves. She has even begun to believe she is free from the violent history she has kept a secret from her family. When escaped criminal Stephen Cawley attacks the farm, Brooke's buried talents surface, and she manages to quickly and harshly subdue him. Convinced that he has come in retribution for the blood feud that began years ago, Brooke sets out to bring Cawley to justice, planning to use the bounty on his head to lead her family into hiding far from danger. Fearing that other members of Cawley's infamous family will soon descend on the farm, Brooke insists that Milo and the girls flee with her, travelling miles on foot across an unforgiving landscape to reach the nearest marshal. Their journey, beginning at the onset of winter with little preparation, brings already strained family dynamics to the breaking point. As Brooke's ghosts--both real and imagined--close in, the ruthlessness that allowed her to survive her past may become the biggest threat to her hopes for a different future. What follows is a harrowing exploration of family loyalty, trauma and resilience. As haunting and propulsive as it is powerfully written,The Captiveis a thrilling debut novel about the seemingly impossible choices we make to survive and protect the ones we love.
