Lenoir City, TN, June 02, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Angela R. Newland, a retired civil engineer making her writing debut, has completed her new book, “The River House”: a gripping and poignant tale exposing the downsides to buying a fixer-upper in an unstable Floridian climate.

Upon purchasing the house, “Our excitement with the property grew each time we saw new exotic wildlife,” writes author Angela R. Newland. “Dolphins would regularly swim in the river near our seawall; a pod of manatees occasionally meandered in the water; an eagle would soar overhead, searching for its fish dinner. We even gave the eleven-foot-long alligator that made frequent appearances in the canal on the east side of our backyard the name Muffy. What great fortune to be actually living in a house where you can watch such wonderful creatures while having coffee on the outside deck!”

After Hurricane Irma made a devastating visit, “we found that one third of our roof (the flat roof part above our dining room and kitchen) had blown off and was lying in our driveway and front lawn; dozens of shingles were lying in the yard; and the gutter on the back of the house was ripped off and dangling from the top of the house. On the inside of the house there was standing rainwater (from the portion of the missing roof) all over the kitchen floors, countertops, appliances, dining room, sliding glass door areas in the living room and master bedroom, downstairs hallway and hallway closets, laundry room downstairs, and other isolated spots all over the house. Rain water penetrated into virtually every first and second story wall on the south side of the house. The electrical short in the kitchen that caused the oven to come on also caused the whole house intercom/radio to come on spontaneously. I covered my face with my hands and cried.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Angela R. Newland’s enthralling tale begins as optimistic couple Victoria and Kevin purchase their dream home on the Caloosahatchee River in Southwest Florida. Though the house is over forty years old and in constant need of repairs, the ideal location and picturesque landscape keep the couple happily restoring their new home. One year later, everything changed as Hurricane Irma devastated the area, Victoria and Kevin’s home included. What started out as a fixer-upper fantasy quickly turns into an advanced course in dealing with mother nature’s fallout. The damage itself was just the beginning. The couple now must fight with bureaucratic hurdles and dysfunctional insurance companies while still reeling from a disastrous hurricane. Ending on a dramatic cliffhanger, “The River House” reveals the challenges of living in beautiful yet hurricane-prone Florida. Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase “The River House” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

New Children’s Book ‘Sally’s First Day of School’ Frames Bullying Through a Lens of Faith

New Children’s Book ‘Sally’s First Day of School’ Frames Bullying Through a Lens of Faith

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

J.B. Richardson has published "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend," a children’s book that follows a young girl navigating bullying and social exclusion at school, according to an announcement from Christian Faith Publishing, which released the book.

The story centers on Sally, a girl whose kindness and gentle nature initially make her a target in a school environment the book describes as rewarding harshness over compassion. Richardson says he based the character on his own eldest daughter, who experienced bullying, and wrote the book for parents looking to help children through similar situations.

The narrative follows Sally as she weighs whether to change herself to fit in or hold onto her own nature, a tension the announcement frames as the book’s central question. Richardson, described in the announcement as a husband and father, says his own experiences with adversity and his path toward what he calls spiritual transformation shaped how he wrote Sally’s struggle.

"I wrote this book to show children that being kind, loving, and true to yourself is never a mistake," Richardson said in the announcement. "When we anchor our identities in faith rather than peer approval, we discover a strength that no amount of bullying can diminish."

The publisher describes the book as aimed at validating children’s experiences with social struggle while pointing them toward faith as a source of resilience. "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend" is available through bookstores and major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-based children’s books addressing bullying, a topic that remains a persistent concern for parents and educators alike regardless of genre.

New Book from Author Esther Gómez Offers Hispanic Families a Guide Through U.S. Schools

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Esther Gómez has written "Un Milagro en mi Educación," a Spanish-language book aimed at Hispanic families navigating American schools, published this year through Christian Faith Publishing. The book is available in paperback and runs 19.91 euros in some European listings, with an ISBN of 9798897854349.

Gómez, an educator, draws on years of working with students making the transition into English-language classrooms. According to the announcement, the book pairs her professional background with testimonies from students who worked through that transition, aiming to give families concrete steps rather than general encouragement.

The book is structured around both practical guidance and religious framing. The publisher’s description points to two recurring scriptural references: Hebrews 13:5 and Philippians 4:13, which Gómez uses to frame perseverance through academic setbacks as tied to faith. "My greatest joy comes from helping Hispanic families recognize that their dreams of academic achievement are not only possible but within reach," Gómez said in the announcement. "I’ve seen students overcome remarkable challenges when given proper tools, familial support, and faith-centered perspective."

The publisher describes the book as integrating practical strategies, authentic narratives, and faith-based support to help readers overcome language obstacles and cultural transitions within American educational settings. It’s being sold through major retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble, as well as through Christian Faith Publishing’s own site.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-based guidance aimed at immigrant families navigating American institutions, a niche with real demand even when any single title reaches a modest audience.
