Middle-class, middle child, way uncool hair ― these are the true confessions of an aspiring outcast and lackluster altar boy at the crossroads of Hell and junior high. In this riotous memoir, Brandon Christopher reflects on life as an unusually tall, mischief-obsessed altar boy at a private school in Los Angeles. Set in the quirky mid-1980s, The Middle Kid skillfully weaves together the end of Christopher's childhood and the beginning of his journey toward manhood, as told through cringe-worthy yet hilarious stories from the author's irreverent and unabashedly honest perspective.

I started writing this book two weeks before the tenth anniversary of my father's passing. I wonder where the time has gone, and missing him has not gotten easier. Many times, I drift back to my younger years on the farm; how I miss those carefree days. Days when mom or dad were there to help me when I felt my whole world was falling apart—a look, a touch, or words that made everything right. Then I had to grow up, start my life on my own, and before I realized it, years had passed. As the parents grow older, shock comes in the form of loss when one of them passes on. Realization sets in of how precious life can be and a self-analysis begins! I have always wanted to write and started many times, but it always fell to the wayside. After analyzing my childhood dreams and realizing the shortness of life, I cannot wait any longer. This longing welling inside me has given me the desire to write this book. Therefore, here goes . . . I am writing this book in honor of my parents: for my mother who is still with me and my father who has passed.

Enjoy these three heartwarming Cowboys of Cold Creek holiday romances by New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne, together for the first time! The Cowboy’s Christmas Miracle Christmas is tough for widow Jenna Wheeler and her four children. But even though she’d sold part of her family’s land to make ends meet, she’s determined to spin the holiday into the stuff of magic—no matter what it takes. Now if she could only find a job…. Maybe her new landlord could oblige—gorgeous, child-averse Carson McRaven. He needs a chef, and he knows the lovely Jenna can do a bang-up job—if only she could keep her brood out of his hair. But as he finds himself catapulted into the cheerful chaos of her family…not to mention Jenna’s arms… he’s learning more about the spirit of Christmas than he’d ever dreamed existed. A Cold Creek Holiday All Emery Kendall wanted was to flee painful memories of Christmases past. She craved distraction and healing, and the mountains of Idaho offered both…plus the key to a long-buried family secret. But when she meets her host, rancher Nate Cavazos, she hardly gets a warm welcome…. The former army ranger’s smoldering good looks mask deep emotional scars. And now his hands are full as guardian of two orphaned nieces. That’s all the involvement he could handle right now. Still, Nate can’t ignore his fierce attraction to Emery or his nieces’ instant attachment to her—until Emery’s secret shatters their happiness. Would it be a lonely Christmas for four lost souls? Or the best family holiday ever? Christmas in Cold Creek She claimed to be a waitress and a single mother, but Rebecca Parsons doesn’t look like any hash-slinger Pine Gulch Police Chief Trace Bowman has ever seen. And she doesn’t seem particularly maternal toward her little girl, either. Still, one look in her vulnerable green eyes and his protective instincts go into overdrive. Attention from local law enforcement is the last thing Becca needs. She’ll do anything to protect her little sister Gabi from their con-artist mother, even lie about their identities. When Trace shows up at their house carrying a Christmas tree and stirring desires she can’t afford to indulge, she longs to surrender to the magic of the season with him. But Becca’s past is catching up—fast. Can her sexy police chief perform a Christmas miracle?
