The Miracle & Tragedy of the Dionne Quintuplets
Sarah Miller
In this riveting, beyond-belief true story from the author of The Borden Murders, meet the five children who captivated the entire world.When the Dionne Quintuplets were born on May 28, 1934, weighing a grand total of just over 13 pounds, no one expected them to live so much as an hour. Overnight, Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie Dionne mesmerized the globe, defying medical history with every breath they took. In an effort to protect them from hucksters and showmen, the Ontario government took custody of the five identical babies, sequestering them in a private, custom-built hospital across the road from their family - and then, in a stunning act of hypocrisy, proceeded to exploit them for the next nine years.The Dionne Quintuplets became a more popular attraction than Niagara Falls, ogled through one-way screens by sightseers as they splashed in their wading pool at the center of a tourist hotspot known as Quintland. Here, Sarah Miller reconstructs their unprecedented upbringing with fresh depth and subtlety, bringing to new light their resilience and the indelible bond of their unique sisterhood. Read more

One little word could make all the difference in your life… but why is it so hard to say it?Being a highly sensitive person means you’re probably highly misunderstood.You might have been accused of being too high-maintenance or too thin-skinned.You probably find it much harder to do simple things other people take for granted, like working in an open office or watching a violent movie.And you may also feel like you’re too empathetic for your own good.Your intuition and empathy as a highly sensitive person make you more compassionate, understanding, and insightful.However, these same qualities also make you particularly vulnerable to abuse.Because you feel others’ emotions intensely – and deeply care about their feelings – you tend to feel responsible for their happiness and well-being.You always put others first and say “yes” to everything, regardless of how you feel or what you need.As a result, you end up in unhealthy relationship dynamics that leave you exhausted, resentful, and stressed.If you struggle to say “no” to others, usually at the expense of your own needs, know that there’s a way out.This guide was specially written for highly sensitive people like you, whose empathetic nature can sometimes be used against them.You’ll see that it’s possible to utilize the power of your heightened sensitivity while overcoming your people-pleasing and self-defeating tendencies at the same time.In The Highly Sensitive Person's Guide to Finally Stop People-Pleasing, you will discover:How to accept your highly sensitive qualities and fully embrace them as your biggest strengthsWhy your people-pleasing may be having an opposite effect – it may be making people feel uncomfortable7 necessary boundaries you need to set in your life to protect your energy and maintain your connection with yourselfThe subconscious beliefs from childhood you may still be holding on to that are keeping you in unhealthy relationship patternsSelf-care practices to help you prioritize your own needs and take charge of your emotionsHow to say “no” – and really mean it – without feeling guiltyBonus Chapter: How to help your friends and family understand and support your unique needs as a highly sensitive person And much more.Your sensitivity isn’t something you have to resist or fight against. On the contrary, it’s a useful quality that makes you a trusted confidante and a valued colleague.You don’t have to change who you are, and you don’t have to stop supporting and accommodating others in order to put yourself first.What’s important is that you don’t lose yourself in the process.By making yourself a priority, you become a better version of yourself and a more effective family member, friend, and co-worker.When you stop trying to please everyone else, your relationships will be all the better for it.If you’re through with feeling like you are “overly sensitive” and always being taken advantage of, scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

Contains all THREE books in the trilogy for a limited-time price! What would you do if you found an exceptionally intelligent dog only to discover he had valuable information inside his head that could change mankind forever? The first time I saw him, I had no idea he had recently escaped from a mysterious lab. That he had been created there. I’d been living on the streets, which was tough, but preferable to home. Then one day, I stumbled upon this mangy dog being attacked. I saved him, but then he saved me, and I realized that Muttface wasn’t a normal dog. He was crazy intelligent. I’m talking Mensa levels. It wasn’t only his cleverness that I fell for, however. Bandit happened to be one of the sweetest, purest souls that ever walked the earth. Also, who knew that a dog could have such a goofy sense of humor?When we sought help from a grieving veterinarian named Sully, his clinic was attacked and destroyed by mercenaries. So now here we are, the three of us. On the run across the country against a powerful enemy. Who are they and what do they want with us? Through the danger, terror, and pain, one thing was becoming clear to me: I have finally found the family I always wanted and I will do anything to keep them safe...Even if it means risking my own life.From the gritty streets of New York to the open plains of the Arizona desert, join Chase, Bandit and Sully as they flee across America in their desperate fight to keep their small unit together. Having never known the love of a parent, Chase unexpectedly finds a father in Sully, while the smart-talking, occasionally annoying but always endearing teenager manages to worm her way into Sully’s heart, healing the hole that was created when he lost his wife to cancer a year ago. Then there’s Bandit himself, a supernaturally smart dog, considered a scientific breakthrough by others, but a beloved member of this unlikely family who just wants to be able to live his life with Chase and Sully, outside of a cage.But the world has other plans for them.Each time they think they are safe, a new enemy rears its ugly head until they are forced from hiding, having to concoct a plan so audacious that it will either keep them safe forever, or end up killing them all…The award-winning creator & screenwriter of ground-breaking BBC television show Spirit Warriors starring Jessica Henwick (The Matrix 4, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Game of Thrones) brings you an action-packed thrill-ride in the series readers unanimously raved about, describing it as a "Must-Read" and "Unputdownable".
