Written for all ages, this short simple story contains a powerful therapeutic metaphor designed to cause change within your personality. Though the story and language is deceptively simple, it would be difficult to give a full description of the process that occurs while reading this book. Embedded in the tale of a young boy's struggle to come to terms with a schoolyard bully is another story of another time. Within this story is yet another layer that gives a healing metaphor to the subconscious of the reader. The impact of simply reading A Healing Legend: Wisdom from the Four Directions will vary from person to person. It is no magic pill but a working therapeutic tool. It has potential to be very effective on a whole range of personal issues. Based on the theories and clinical experience of Dr Garry A. Flint, this little book was conceived after much 'lunch time' discussion. Inspired by the idea of using metaphor as a way of producing positive change in the personal issues of others, Jo C. Willems created the boy named Kidd who is struggling with the 'what ifs'. What if the monster from the deep came up out of the drain in the middle of the sidewalk when he was walking by the drain? What if he wasn't able to stop the monster and it destroyed his house and all the houses around the neighborhood? What if his mother opened the refrigerator door and the monster was in there waiting? Oh, that one gave him goose bump shivers Then one day while walking in the forest Kidd comes across a tiny bit of stone laying at the base of a tree, a real arrowhead-and this arrowhead can talk Once the basic plot and characters were determined, the next step was to hang the therapeutic metaphor onto thestory framework. Kidd's anxiety and the discovery of the arrowhead were role-played and recorded by the authors with the arrowhead serving as therapist... A cackle of laughter came from the old flint lying at the base of the tree. "What if I was still a rock way up on that mountain side? What if the arrow maker had never found me and breathed his wisdom over me? What if I didn't know when someone needed to talk? Then where would I be?" The arrowhead laughed again. "Do you know about 'what ifs' too?" Kidd asked. "Do you have weird thoughts about 'what if'?" "I know all about 'what ifs'. I know about the feelings of being afraid of things that might happen. Even though I know that they won't happen. I know all about the 'what if they happen' fears. Is that the way it is for you?" Kidd nodded. "Do you want to figure out how to be happier?" the arrowhead asked... This recorded 'therapy session' was used to develop the rest of the tale. The end result was tweaked and tuned by numerous children and adults, including teachers, grade school classes, and a grandmother reading to her grandchildren, as well as First Nations Elders and many others. Though initially designed as a therapeutic tool A Healing Legend: Wisdom from the Four Directions can be read simply as an enjoyable tale. It is a feel-good story with workable resolutions to real life problems. The whimsical weaving of the past and present from generation to generation offers a promise of hope and change. The metaphor embedded within will become your own as this healing legend reaches deep inside and you begin to learn wisdom from the four directions.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
