Congratulations to Kat Biggie Press author, Gerri Hilger on winning a Book Excellence Award in the Friendship category for her book, Our Duty, published by KBP in 2018.

About The Book

Our Duty follows the shenanigans of Polly and Aggie, student nurses when World War II began. Eager to be a part of the action, Aggie joins the Army Air Corps upon graduating nursing school, and qualifies as flight nurse. She is shipped off to the Pacific, while Polly stays home. Aggie soon faces many difficulties common to this under-recognized group of brave women, including their initial lack of respect by the military brass. Aggie finally earned the respect of all around her when she kept 30 wounded men safe when their plane went down in the Pacific. Her letters home detail the challenges for nurses and the accounts of the personal lives of the airmen she came to know who faced unimaginable dangers in the skies over Europe, many ending in death. While Polly stayed behind to help on the home front, she does her part to keep Aggie entertained. Her letters boost the morale of any who are privy to them, describing romantic adventures and changes in life in the States.

Just Be: How My Stillborn Son Taught Me to Surrender

Trauma can shake you and break but it will also wake you and make you. Lindsay’s memoir, Just Be, is not only her story of what happened – but how she evolved to embrace forgiveness and letting go. Evolving through trauma means acknowledging your feelings, not burying them – so that they can teach us and reach on higher that brings peace, joy and reminds us who we really were before the trauma.

?My story is about embracing and allowing grief to just BE so that grief could help me find strength and joy through the power and oneness of higher love. Beyond that, Just Be, brings the readers to another level of forgiveness: Which is how to heal trauma that was stuck in my body, thereby releasing the energy cords from the past and future generations within my family. How trauma can get passed down over and over and how to break that cord.

This book is for? women who have experienced trauma, particularly mothers. However, this book is for all women, no matter what stage of motherhood they are in or even if they are planning for children or not. It will speak to women in grief from a loss of any kind or previous trauma/crisis who are looking for inspiration on how to forgive, particularly after trauma,? and what that means for their spiritual growth,? and for the health of their children. This book highlights the bond mothers have with their children from preconception to after birth,? and our intuition.

Just Be: How My Stillborn Son Taught Me To Surrender was a 2018 Finalist in the Book Excellence Awards.
