Carmens street smarts and Magens long legal experience help them weave them through a maze of corrupt characters in Philadelphia as buried evidence crops up at each turn.

Book excerpt: An immigrant mother’s long-held secrets upend her daughter’s understanding of her family, her identity, and her place in the world in this powerful and dramatic memoir “Riveting. . . . [Wong] tells her story in vivid conversational prose that will make readers feel they’re listening to a master storyteller on a long car trip. . . . Hers is a hero’s journey.”—The New York Times Book Review My mother carried a powerful secret. A secret that shaped my life and the lives of everyone around me in ways she could not have imagined. Carmen Rita Wong has always craved a sense of belonging: First as a toddler in a warm room full of Black and brown Latina women, like her mother, Lupe, cheering her dancing during her childhood in Harlem. And in Chinatown, where her immigrant father, “Papi” Wong, a hustler, would show her and her older brother off in opulent restaurants decorated in red and gold. Then came the almost exclusively white playgrounds of New Hampshire after her mother married her stepfather, Marty, who seemed to be the ideal of the white American dad. As Carmen entered this new world with her new family—Lupe and Marty quickly had four more children—her relationship with her mother became fraught with tension, suspicion, and conflict, explained only years later by the secrets her mother had kept for so long. And when those secrets were revealed, bringing clarity to so much of Carmen’s life, it was too late for answers. When her mother passed away, Carmen wanted to shake her soul by its shoulders and demand: Why didn’t you tell me? A former national television host, advice columnist, and professor, Carmen searches to understand who she really is as she discovers her mother’s hidden history, facing the revelations that seep out. Why Didn’t You Tell Me? is a riveting and poignant story of Carmen’s experience of race and culture in America and how they shape who we think we are.

This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is a major worldwide public health problem and is the second leading cause of death in the United States. In 2018, there were seventeen million new cancer cases and 9.5 million cancer deaths worldwide. Seemingly, everyone has been affected by or knows of someone who is affected by the disease. In 2004, doctors discovered that Carmen Rice had a stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumor, one of the deadliest of all cancers—the same cancer which killed John McCain, Edward Kennedy, and Beau Biden. After being diagnosed with a glioblastoma tumor, twenty-nine-year-old Brittany Maynard made headline news when she moved to Oregon to die with dignity. Carmen’s doctor gave her six months to live, but with her faith in God and tenacious spirit, Carmen just kept beating the odds. After all these years, Carmen is “off the map” and into uncharted territory. They Call Me "The Miracle" is her story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our first book, we shed some light on subjects that presently affect societies around the world, such as politics, education, the economy, art, the role of women, and so on. We didnt talk about ourselves. In this book, we want to touch your heart and take you on our personal journeys, our souls journeys, as we reached a point in life when we questioned the purpose of our existence . . . when we felt there had to be more than merely eating, sleeping, working, raising a family, and acquiring possessions. Of course, all of these are important, but a part of us remained dissatisfied, thirsty and ready to explore other realms of our being. So we each embarked on a quest leading up the mountain of our soul and spirit. Our paths towards the summit are all different, yet we share an element we came to recognize as essentialwhen climbing a mountain, a well-trained guide is life-saving. In our stories, we each meet such a spiritual guide, a master mountaineer able to show us the way toward the spiritual summits: Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. Discover how his self-mastery and the many methods he suggested influenced us. Discover the direction we have taken as a result and how we keep climbing! Join us in the awakenings to new heights of consciousness! The spirit is above everything else, and when you succeed in becoming one with it, in identifying with it, you receive strength, peace of mind, illumination (Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov).
