Ross and Jade Compton, along with their tour group, are vacationing in the tropical paradise of San Bellevue. Everything is perfect until the small country is overrun by a force of rebel soldiers working for South American drug cartels. The rebels are led by a ruthless mercenary named Raphael Ramon, who has a reputation of doing whatever necessary to achieve the goal. In a short time, the country is in complete turmoil. Selena, the tour guide, wants to get her people out immediately, but two in her group are missing. Selena and Ward, a former cop, go looking for them and find themselves in the middle of the rebel stronghold. There they find their friends but end up confronting and killing two rebel soldiers, making themselves wanted criminals. The best way out of San Bellevue is cut off when the airport is captured, leaving them hiding and stranded. The resort manager, Michela, helps Ross, Jade, and Selena come up with a plan of escape. The plan is only partially successful with Ross and Jade being left behind. In order to make it home, Ross and Jade will have to do things they never dreamed of, killing included. When they expose the rebels’ plan for the country to the world, they become the most wanted and pursued people in San Bellevue. With the rebel force closing in, they must help their new friends, take care of themselves, and elude capture if they ever want to see home again.
If you or someone you love has suffered a traumatic event, you know the devastating impact it can have on your life and your spirit. Life-threatening accidents, illnesses, assaults, abusive relationships—or a tragedy like 9/11—all can leave deep emotional wounds that persist long after physical scars have healed. Survivors become “invisible heroes,” courageously struggling to lead normal lives in spite of symptoms so baffling and disturbing that they sometimes doubt their own sanity. Now there is new hope for the millions affected by posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Drawing on more than thirty years’ experience as a therapist and on the most recent cutting-edge research, Belleruth Naparstek presents a clinically proven program for recovery using the potent tool of guided imagery. She reveals how guided imagery goes straight to the right side of the brain, where it impacts the nonverbal wiring of the nervous system itself, the key to alleviating suffering. Filled with the voices of real trauma survivors and therapists whose lives and work have been changed by this approach, Invisible Heroes offers: • New understanding of the physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effects of PTSD, who is most susceptible, and why symptoms can get worse rather than better with time • Important insights into how the brain and body respond to trauma, why conventional talk therapy can actually impede recovery, and why the nonverbal, image-based right brain is crucial to healing • A step-by-step program with more than twenty scripts for guided-imagery exercises tailored to the three stages of recovery, from immediate relief of anxiety attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, and insomnia, to freedom from depression and isolation, to renewed engagement with life • A helpful guide to the best of the new imagery-based therapies, and how to incorporate them into an overall recovery plan Belleruth Naparstek concludes with the inspiring words of survivors who have found their way back to peace, purpose, and a deep joy in living. Her compassionate, groundbreaking book can lead you and those in your care to the same renewal and healing.

J.L. Moreno wrote books, chapters and articles about psychodrama. Many students, practitioners and participants around the world have encountered Moreno's work in action, but fewer people may have had the opportunity to read and think about the 'words of the father' due to the limited availability of key texts. This book - the second in the new series of Moreno texts - presents an amalgamation of two editions of a magazine edited by J. L. Moreno, in 1931, called Impromptu. The textual content is as it was in 1931; however there has been some editorial license in formatting the work to ensure a more coherent book form.
Widely acclaimed as the Vietnam War's most highly decorated soldier, Joe Ronnie Hooper in many ways serves as a symbol for that conflict. His troubled, tempestuous life paralleled the upheavals in American society during the 1960s and 1970s, and his desperate quest to prove his manhood was uncomfortably akin to the macho image projected by three successive presidents in their "tough" policy in Southeast Asia. Looking for a Hero extracts the real Joe Hooper from the welter of lies and myths that swirl around his story; in doing so, the book uncovers not only the complicated truth about an American hero but also the story of how Hooper's war was lost in Vietnam, not at home. Extensive interviews with friends, fellow soldiers, and family members reveal Hooper as a complex, gifted, and disturbed man. They also expose the flaws in his most famous and treasured accomplishment: earning the Medal of Honor. In the distortions, half-truths, and outright lies that mar Hooper's medal of honor file, authors Peter Maslowski and Don Winslow find a painful reflection of the army's inability to be honest with itself and the American public, with all the dire consequences that this dishonesty ultimately entailed. In the inextricably linked stories of Hooper and the Vietnam War, the nature of that deceit, and of America's defeat, becomes clear.

The story of one idealistic young man’s attempts to resolve the immigration issues at the US/Mexico border – and avert war. 17-year old Curtis Moultrie of Sugarfield, Texas never felt totally comfortable with the cultural traditions he grew up with.

Hostilities break out back home after Texas enacts harsher new anti-abortion and immigration laws. Curtis finds himself conflicted as he returns home and tries to support his family while attempting to defuse the confrontations at the Mexican border with the help of his new college friends.
