Finding Sunshine Despite the Rain: New Release Offers Perspective on Unwinding Ingrained Behaviors

29 April 2024

If April showers bring May flowers, former co-CEO and new author Christine Clyne-Spraker is hoping her first book will bring inspiration to others for sunnier days following the anguish of personal pain and loss. The new Amazon bestseller and #1 release, Unwinding Perfect, One Woman’s Story of Reclamation, is an inspiring look into the beauty that can emerge after rainy days.

In Unwinding Perfect , Christine openly shares her vulnerable journey to unwind childhood conditioning and generational patterning that led her to present perfect to the world, seemingly having it all from an outsider’s perspective. Married for almost sixteen years with two children, and co-CEO of a thriving healthcare technology company she helped build from the ground up, Christine lacked deep and meaningful relationships, often leaving her feeling empty and alone.

Christine embarked on a journey of self-discovery, working with mentors and consuming life changing books. Through this work, she began to understand how her upbringing played a crucial role in the woman she had become. What was uncovered were habits and patterns consistent with perfectionism and people-pleasing.

What followed was a path that empowered her to shed perfectionism and explore her individuality, truth, and authentic self. Through this new lens, Christine made incredibly brave – and at times, misunderstood – life changes.

“In some ways, I think this book is the permission I always wished someone had given me. I now realize I don’t need permission from anyone to be myself, but my hope is that through my story, someone will be inspired to choose themselves. To do the work, and to step into the life they desire and deserve,” Christine Clyne-Spraker.

“Unwinding Perfect is the admirable journey of author Christine Clyne Spraker’s spiritual awakening and path to self-love. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking inspiration or doing the work to unwind their perfectionism. Christine is bright, reflective, and encouraging. Through her self-discovery of embracing the many imperfections in various aspects of her life, she has gained a healing balance that so many seek. Bravo, Christine! May the path ahead of you continue to yield a fruitful harvest of love and enduring peace!” Amazon 5 Star Review .

For anyone ready to embark on their own path of self-discovery, or simply curious what that might mean, Unwinding Perfect offers inspiration, strength, and encouragement that they are not alone.

Unwinding Perfect is published by Landon Hail Press .

Renowned Treatment Expert and Author Partners with Meadows Behavioral Healthcare to Shine a Light on the Hope and Humanity Found in Recovery

Claudia Black, PhD, and Meadows Behavioral Healthcare are proud to announce the release of Undaunted Hope, featuring a foreword by Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of the New York Times bestseller The Body Keeps the Score.

The book features 21 brave storytellers, all former patients of Meadows Behavioral Healthcare treatment programs, who open up to Dr. Black about everything from childhood trauma and abuse to PTSD, perfectionism, sex addiction, suicidality, substance use disorders, and family dysfunction. Their experiences may vary but they share a common thread: Each dark secret and deep hurt eventually gives way to hope and healing.

Inspiration is only half the story, though. More than a dozen world-renowned psychotherapists including Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Patrick Carnes, Dr. Richard Schwartz, Pia Mellody, Dr. Tian Dayton, Resmaa Menakem, and others provide clinical insights that take some of the mystery out of therapy. Each story offers several educational opportunities, demystifying the conditions faced and exploring the treatment methods used.

As for that title, Undaunted Hope, Dr. Black explains it this way: “What the title is really about is the courage that people have had to come to grips with what has happened in their lives, the courage that it takes to walk through that recovery process, which is not necessarily easy,” Dr. Black explains.

The hope is that the book would have a broad reach, serving as a lifeline to those who are struggling and need treatment, inspiration for anyone on a recovery journey, a guide for loved ones who feel confused or alone, and a master course for clinicians and other behavioral health professionals eager to keep learning and growing. Trauma, mental health issues, and addictions can be very isolating, often shrouded in fear and shame. This book reminds readers that healing is possible for anyone willing to do the hard work.

Available in paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon.com, the book is also available through Central Recovery Press, the book’s distributor. Learn more about the project at claudiablackcenter.com/undaunted-hope/.

Behind The Words With Sheila Yasmin Marikar

Today, we’re talking with FRIENDS IN NAPA author Sheila Yasmin Marikar. Welcome Sheila, we’re excited to have you on Reader’s Entertainment. First, tell our readers a bit about yourself.

Hi! I’m Sheila. I grew up in New Jersey, used to live in New York, and am now based in Los Angeles. I’m the author of Friends in Napa and The Goddess Effect, and a journalist for The New Yorker, The New York Times, and several other publications.

How long have you been writing?

Professionally, I’ve been writing since … 2005. Almost twenty years! The entirety of my career.

What does your typical writing day look like?

It depends on what else is going on in my life at the moment. Right now, while promoting Friends in Napa, I am not writing fiction at all. I do have an idea that’s simmering on the backburner, but I won’t put pen to paper (or keys to computer) for a little while. I am actively working on several articles in various stages of completion, and I’m pitching new article ideas. I have been waking up at the absurdly early (for me) hour of 5 a.m. most days, working for several hours, breaking for a workout and meals, and winding down around 6 p.m. Writing at night is generally not my jam.

Tell us about your latest release? Where the idea came from? Perhaps some fun moments, or not so fun moments?

I’ve been to Napa more times than I can count, and I wanted to set a dark comedy there in the vein of one of my favorite television shows, The White Lotus. The fun moments were going to Napa and calling it work. The not so fun moments were struggling to get in the head of a character who wouldn’t cooperate. Eventually I was able to make them bend.

Could you share one detail from your current release with readers that they might not find in the book?

Costa Cara, the fictional Mexican resort community referenced in the book, is inspired by Careyes, a real life Mexican resort community that is as gorgeous as its made up sister (maybe more so).

If you could be one of your characters for a day which character would it be?

Rachel. She has a fabulous wardrobe.

If you could spend the day with your character, what would you do? What would that day look like?

We’d have a spa day and lunch at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito and she would pay for it all without my having to ask.

What’s your take on research and how do you do it?

I need to experience a place firsthand if I’m going to write about it in fiction. I also need to feel the way my characters have felt before. It’s hard to backsolve for these things.

Do you have a secret talent readers would be surprised by?

I’m double jointed.

Your favorite go to drink or food when the world goes crazy!

Right now, Champagne — not Prosecco, not sparkling wine, tried and true Champagne — and … pizza. Although, if I’m having pizza, I also need red wine. A Nebbiolo if possible. I didn’t used to be so picky about drinks — hazard of the job 😉

Thank you so much for joining us today Sheila!

Readers, below is a bit more about Sheila, a quick look at Friends in NAPA, and links to all things!

About The Author:

Sheila Yasmin Marikar is the author of two novels, The Goddess Effect and FRIENDS IN NAPA, which is forthcoming from Mindy’s Book Studio in April 2024.

She’s also an accomplished journalist whose work has been published in the New Yorker, New York Times, The Economist, Fortune, Bloomberg Businessweek, Vogue, and many other publications. Her New York Times Magazine profile of the chef Gaggan Anand was selected for the 2021 edition of Best American Food Writing. Sheila began her career at ABC News.

A native of New Jersey, she is a graduate of Cornell University, where she studied history. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband.

Reader’s here’s a quick look at Friends in Napa

“Smart and wildly entertaining…like drinking a glass of wine with an endlessly witty, scandalous friend.” –Mindy Kaling

Six old friends descend on Napa Valley for a luxurious weekend of fine wine and good times…until old tensions simmer to the surface. So much can go wrong in this dark comedy by the author of The Goddess Effect.

Just get yourselves here, everything else is on us.

Raj and Rachel Ranjani have invited a small group of their ride or dies from college for a celebratory weekend in Napa Valley. On the agenda: three nights in the couple’s vineyard mansion, a lavish dinner at Napa’s hottest new restaurant, exclusive tastings, and the grand opening of the Ranjanis’ ultra-high-end winery. It’s a reunion of six friends who haven’t seen each other in years. What could go wrong?

To start, there’s the less-than-warm welcome: a brick flung through a window and palpable tension between the hosts. But no worries―all Raj has to do is pop a few bottles of vintage Dom, and the college vibes come rushing back. So do old resentments, animosities, and unrequited crushes. Soon enough, the illusion of friendship shatters like a gossamer wineglass, and one of the friends ends up dead. Everyone has their motivations. Everyone has something to hide.

Here’s to a weekend in the valley. Drink up and watch your back.

A Gamble at Sunset by Vanessa Riley

Award-winning author Vanessa Riley turns all convention on its head for the first in an enchanting, dazzlingly diverse new Regency romance trilogy featuring a duke, three sisters, and a tantalizing bet with a most desirable reward…

“A triumphant return to romance….Riley renders the Regency in living color, with impressive historical detail and an admirably diverse cast. Historical romance readers will be entranced.” –Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

When a duke discovers the woman he loves was tricked into marrying another, the master chess player makes the now-widowed Viscountess the highest-stakes wager of his life in a last-ditch effort to win her affection: he will find husbands for her two sisters—or depart forever...

Georgina Wilcox, a wallflower with hidden musical talents, is furious when her reclusive older sister—the recently widowed Viscountess—refuses sorely needed help from the Duke of Torrance, the only gentleman who has shown kindness to the bereft Wilcox sisters. Georgina decides to get back at her sister and shock the Viscountess by kissing the first willing stranger she meets in the enchanting gardens of Anya House. Unfortunately, her sister is not the sole witness. A group of reporters and the ton’s leading gossips catch Georgina in a passionate embrace with a reticent composer, Lord Mark Sebastian.

The third son of an influential marquis, the tongue-tied Mark is determined to keep the scandal from ruining Georgina’s reputation and his own prospects of winning the celebrated Harlbert’s Prize for music. Under the guise of private voice lessons, the two embark on a daring gamble to fool the ton into believing that their feigned courtship is honorable while bolstering Georgina’s singing genius to captivate potential suitors. Sexist cartoons, family rivalries, and an upcoming ball test the fake couple’s resolve. Will their sudden fiery collaboration—and growing attraction—prove there’s nothing false about a first kiss and scandalously irresistible temptation?

LUCKY by Jane Smiley

From the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer, a soaring, soulful novel about a folk musician who rises to fame across our changing times

Before Jodie Rattler became a star, she was a girl growing up in St. Louis. One day in 1955, when she was just six years old, her uncle Drew took her to the racetrack, where she got lucky—and that roll of two-dollar bills she won has never since left her side. Jodie thrived in the warmth of her extended family, and then—through a combination of hard work and serendipity—she started a singing career, which catapulted her from St. Louis to New York City, from the English countryside to the tropical beaches of St. Thomas, from Cleveland to Los Angeles, and back again. Jodie comes of age in recording studios, backstage, and on tour, and she tries to hold her own in the wake of Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and Joni Mitchell. Yet it feels like something is missing. Could it be true love? Or is that not actually what Jodie is looking for?

Full of atmosphere, shot through with longing and exuberance, romance and rock ‘n’ roll, Lucky is a story of chance and grit and the glitter of real talent, a colorful portrait of one woman’s journey in search of herself.

New Genre of Children’s Books That Combines History, Psychology, and Art and Targets Left and Right Brain Integration

Dr. Mary C. McCluskey, psychotherapist, and author revitalizes Dr. Alfred Adler, the “Pioneer in the Prevention of Mental Health Disorders” and Dr. Pierre Janet “Father of Trauma Treatment Theory” using a time-traveling hot air balloon to create a new genre of children’s books. This book series integrates history, psychology, and art, and its activities are designed to stimulate and enhance the integration of the creative, emotional right brain and the practical, analytical left brain. Scientists have found integration of both sides of the brain is optimal for resilience and mental health. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=mary+c.+mccluskey&crid=18X3K3C3OYT2K&sprefix=%2Caps%2C90&ref=nb_sb_ss_recent_1_0_recent

In her most recent book, now available for presale on amazon.com, Bubbles, Balloons and Birds: Learning to Thrive-Helpings Kids Cope With Adversity (BBB) creatively shows how an eleven-year-old survivor of the Franco-Prussian War grew up to become one of the most important psychologists of all time! The book’s foreword was written by Mariel Hemingway, actress, author, and mental health advocate. Her grandfather Ernest Hemingway, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, was renowned for his writings about war. Now, Mariel speaks candidly about the difficulties of growing up in a famous family who struggled with mental illness and addiction. She shares how she coped as a child using both nature and mindfulness. The narrative of the children’s story that follows includes these themes and shows how they can be used as tools for coping with adversity. Kirkus says BBB is “A conversation starter for social-emotional learning……space provided encourages readers to take part in the conversation.” – Kirkus Reviews.

Bubbles, Balloons and Birds was translated into Ukrainian and distributed to Ukrainian families in Eastern Europe by Community Organization Relief Effort (CORE), the global humanitarian organization co-founded by Sean Penn and Ann Lee. In addition, it was distributed by the Siemacha Association in Krakow, Poland. McCluskey, who is also one of the book’s illustrators (her mom and daughter are the other illustrators of her book series) recently facilitated an art workshop and book signing in Krakow, Poland with the children who had read her book. The children whose ages ranged from 8 to 16 worked on various art activities while listening to Chopin’s piano music including mask-making. The participants spontaneously expressed using Google Translate the emotional meaning behind their masks. One child said, “My mask shows that sometimes we are happy and sometimes we are sad and so lost.” One child translated (BBB) from Ukrainian into Polish for her Polish friends. She shared that reading the book about a child war survivor made her feel understood, and less alone. Some of the children’s artwork will appear in McCluskey’s third book “A Mouse Named Pigment in Chopin’s Piano: The Healing Power of Color and Sound.”

Dr. McCluskey, a parent herself, knows the instinct to shield kids from scary things, but in the current climate of information overload, she urges parents to be the first to talk to their kids about overwhelming things. This book series is designed to help facilitate these types of conversations and is meant to be read by parents/caregivers and children and used as a platform for family discussions about complex and often anxiety-producing topics. They are meant to enhance family bonds and child creativity, resilience, and self-confidence. The books are interactive, and prompts are designed to encourage readers to express themselves either with words, drawings, color expression, songs, poems, and/or bilateral tapping (the child chooses).

Dr. McCluskey specializes in trauma treatment and is certified in Attachment-Focused EMDR and trauma-informed art therapy and is in training to be a certified sound healer. She teaches social work at New York University and owns a group therapy practice, The Empowerment Opportunity LCSW PLLC https://theempowermentopportunity.com/ treating children, adolescents, and adults. She was recently interviewed on Hemingway’s podcast, Out Comes the Sun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwLCRo_Mx4I

Second-Generation Holocaust Survivor Embraces Heritage from Birth to Almost Death and Back in His Poignant and Hilarious New Memoir

“Won’t Be Silent—Don’t Stop ’til It Matters,” Hailed as the “Gay Eat, Pray, Love,” Is a
Remarkable Journey of Love, Loss and the Endless Search for Mattering

“Won’t Be Silent—Don’t Stop ’til It Matters” from debut author Abe Gurko, is a candid and humorous retelling of an unconventional life. The producer, writer, and social media influencer delivers an honest, hilarious, and rollicking ride filled with joyous, life-affirming moments to reach what the author describes as a life “finally worth living.” The book has garnered stellar reviews, now reaching Amazon Best Seller status.

The unlikely odyssey kicks off in suburban New Jersey, sashays through the velvet ropes of Studio 54, ricochets to and from Hollywood, to a pivotal “coming out” moment at a Gucci store in Florence before meandering through Mexico, Germany, and Amsterdam with moments of hilarity and clarity along the way. Abe’s madcap journey through ongoing obstacles is an insightful story of survival with grace and resilience. Confronting various addictions, gay acceptance in the turbulent ’70s, and testing HIV+ in the ’80s, Abe’s unwavering spirit propelled him to fight his demons and find meaning and purpose.

Armed with razor-sharp wit, Gurko has embraced the uncanny instincts and DNA passed down by loving parents who survived the Holocaust. This legacy ultimately becomes his badge of honor, and the book serves up a tribute to their fortitude, confidence, and the courage he learned from them to repeatedly rise up from life setbacks and heartbreaks.

“I live by two edicts,” says Abe. “Life is choice—and that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Living now in this unprecedented time in Jewish American history, seeing politicians turn back the clock on gay and women’s rights, I’m reminded that my family tree has a spine made of steel. I can’t and won’t be silent.” Won’t Be Silent—Don’t Stop ’til It Matters is the culmination of a life lived, knowing that acknowledging the legacy of parents is a glorious way to pay tribute and share wisdom. “I wanted to leave behind an imprint in the hopes that someone would benefit from my travels and travails,” the author commented.

This book challenges readers to tap into one’s innate superpower to maintain dignity and integrity because, in the end, that’s what really matters.

To order the book, visit www.wontbesilent.com.

ABE GURKO, a popular public speaker, podcaster, social media and political commentator (300,000 followers on TikTok), is available to discuss the book with undeniable humor, share his colorful life, and actionable tips for building a life of resilience, purpose, and joy with your audiences.
