Kristen Smith loves to work with children and her life-long dream of opening her own childcare center has finally come true. Everything couldn’t be more perfect until her high school sweetheart walks through front door with his son in tow. Randy Stroud was the "one" that she has never gotten over. She has never understood why he’d ended their relationship but it was obvious that he’d moved and she was more than willing to pretend that she has.

Review from Amazon.com:

A Schizophrenic's Life and Advice (Paperback)
by Steven Max Elder (Author)

Is there really hope for those living with schizophrenia in todays society? In A Schizophrenics Life and Advice, author Steven Elder shatters all the myths, taking a practical approach and explaining how schizophrenic patients can help themselves create full, rewarding lives. In this realistic and empathetic biography and self-help book, Elder draws on his personal experience as a mental patient and his academic experience as an actor to develop a series of practices that enable independence and abundance.

Amrita Lloyd desperately needs a change. Plotting her escape from a miserable California existence, she ends up in a Michigan college town working in a start up legal aid office. All is going well for her until she finds herself haunted by the memory of a woman, Ingrid, she thought she left behind. With Ingrid’s presence continuing to loom over her, Amrita must find a way to hold on to the newfound happiness she is forging with her friend EunJung Barton, boss Monique Carson, and boyfriend Kevin Patel. In this journey of self-discovery, one woman must come to terms with the trauma and demons of her past so that she has a chance at happiness with life and love in her future.

Late-Night TV Gets A Double Shot Of Diversity

Tear Down That (Replica) Wall!

A Missouri college with special ties to the start of the Cold War are commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall today. Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., was the site of Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech, which historians say marked the start of the Cold War. Westminster also has the largest complete piece of the Berlin Wall in the United States. Westminster students are creating a replica of the wall in the shadow of the actual wall. To commemorate the anniversary, they will tear down the replica wall.

Supreme Court Weighs Life Sentences For Juveniles

The high court on Monday reviewed two cases testing whether it is unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment to sentence a juvenile to life in prison without parole — for a crime that does not involve a death.

Voices Of A Revolution: Leipzig

The revolution that brought down the communist regime in East Germany began in the city of Leipzig, about 100 miles from Berlin.
