In the third installment of “Catching Feelings for The Plug 3,” Talia is fighting for her freedom. She thinks this is her biggest battle to date; however, she doesn’t know that enemies are lurking to handle what the court of law may not. Will Talia walk away with her freedom, only to have her life taken, or will she once again beat all odds and come out unscathed and victorious? Marsean is fighting for his family, Talia, and their unborn baby. There are no limits to the lengths that Marsean will go to protect what is his. Marsean is stretched in many different directions. With enemies jumping out of every corner, there is no way that Marsean can be everywhere for everyone all the time. However, Marsean will show the world how and why he is The Plug in the finale. No stone will be left unturned to expose and eliminate all possible threats to his family. Toxin is fighting for his empire. He knew he would be tested; he just never expected his comrades to be caught in the crossfire. With a heavy, guilt-filled heart, Toxin sets out for revenge and vindication. He is determined to set an example for anyone who thinks they can rise against him. Shonda is fighting for her respect. She is aware of the stigma that you can’t turn a h*@ into a housewife, but she refuses to accept that as her reality. Shonda has learned her worth and refuses to let anyone take that from her. Will she get side-tracked when she catches feelings for the plug?

Giving a man her all, just for him to flaunt his indiscretions in her face is not what Talia Wilbourn imagined for her life when she met Satchel ‘Satch’ Malone. After years of holding her head high amid the whispers and secrets, she finally decides to make a move for herself, only to be hit by another unexpected blow. Being the bigger person once again, Talia stands by Satch when a deadly situation arises. She never expects that walking away with only the clothes on her back and the money in her secret account would place a target on her back. Marsean comes to town to pay his respects to a business partner. However, when greed and envy start to affect his business, he prolongs his stay. He meets Talia, fully expecting the opposite of what her vibe gave off. Realizing that things are never as they are told and hardly ever as they seem, he decides to get closer to her in an effort to find the truth. The one thing he doesn’t count on is that the more truth he uncovers, the more questions arise. Toxin’s grief over his best friend has to take a back seat because business has to be handled first. In honor of his best friend, Toxin refuses to allow anyone to take advantage of Satch, even in death; regardless of who it is. Auntie Ethel is the poster child for misery loves company. She’s lived off her nephew’s money and penitentiary chances that he took without regret. Now that he is no longer among the living, she feels that everything her nephew owned and worked for should go to her and no one else. And there’s only one way to make that happen.

Toxin is officially the plug, and Shonda has definitely caught feelings for him. However, are they genuine? Was Toxin successful in turning a H*%# into a housewife? Shonda was given a clean slate, Toxin loved her, the family embraced her; but sometimes old habits die hard. Is Shonda her own worse enemy, or is she just misunderstood? A knock at the door will open Toxin's eyes and force Shonda to face what she’s been running from. It’s been said that “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Toxin and Shonda will get a crash course on the meaning of this quote. Jon-Jon has always been the jokester of the crew. Don’t let the jokes fool you, though; he can be the most brutal one as well. Men fear him, and women are intimidated by him. However, after meeting his counterpart in a female version of himself, Jon-Jon finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Will Jon-Jon open his heart for love? Will she be able to tame the beast within as she finds herself falling for the plug?

In the 2nd installment of “Catching Feelings for The Plug,” the drama picks right back up where Toy left it. Satch is bringing more misery to Talia’s life in death than when he was alive because Talia can’t catch a break. Who set the fires? There’s an old wive's tale that says, “things get worse before they get better.” Nothing can be more true for Talia because she finds herself in more trouble that even Marsean may not be able to help her get out off. When Marsean came to town, he only wanted to pay his respects, find his missing drugs and money then go on with his life, but after meeting Talia, Marsean starts to wonder did he bite off more than he could chew. Is Thalia really a damsel in distress, or does she like dancing with trouble and plays the victim? However, when competition arises for him, will he walk away or fight for Talia? Toxin has never believed in committed relationships. He felt that relationships were overrated and more of a hassle. However, the same woman that he told face to face that she was not wifey material has Toxin acting out of character. He fights with his emotions internally. When tragedy strikes and she is his crutch, will he let that wall down or will Toxin continue to fight with what the heart already wants? One thing is certain; you can never be sure of anything “When You Start Catching Feelings For The Plug 2.”

Roger Fraser continues to battle the vexing absurdities of modernism, his aim to stay out of the doghouse by adopting meditation as an antidote to combat his hang-ups. When it comes to neutralising uppity officials and slaying implacable harridans masquerading as mewling princesses, Roger has no equal in the world of high-finance and within his wife Charlotte’s social set. He survives a no-nonsense outward bound course instructor, boldly engages status quo doyens including an intractable hanging judge and a very persistent spook, avoids being mugged by lazoonland trailer trash, and subdues an autocratic drama teacher. On a lighter note, Roger dodges the clutches of jailbait schoolgirls, is bedeviled by an overzealous impresario and battles intransigent shrews amongst a plethora of highly contentious and hilarious incidents, but despite his new found remedy, inevitably he winds up in the doghouse, wondering where it all went wrong.

Discover how the freedom of sucking at something can help you build resilience, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the pursuit rather than the goal. What if the secret to resilience and joy is the one thing we’ve been taught to avoid? When was the last time you tried something new? Something that won’t make you more productive, make you more money, or check anything off your to-do list? Something you’re really, really bad at, but that brought you joy? Odds are, not recently. As a sh*tty surfer and all-around-imperfect human Karen Rinaldi explains in this eye-opening book, we live in a time of aspirational psychoses. We humblebrag about how hard we work and we prioritize productivity over play. Even kids don’t play for the sake of playing anymore: they’re building blocks to build the ideal college application. But we’re all being had. We’re told to be the best or nothing at all. We’re trapped in an epic and farcical quest for perfection. We judge others on stuff we can’t even begin to master, and it’s all making us more anxious and depressed than ever. Worse, we’re not improving on what really matters. This book provides the antidote. (It’s Great to) Suck at Something reveals that the key to a richer, more fulfilling life is finding something to suck at. Drawing on her personal experience sucking at surfing (a sport she’s dedicated nearly two decades of her life to doing without ever coming close to getting good at it) along with philosophy, literature, and the latest science, Rinaldi explores sucking as a lost art we must reclaim for our health and our sanity and helps us find the way to our own riotous suck-ability. She draws from sources as diverse as Anthony Bourdain and surfing luminary Jaimal Yogis, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Jean-Paul Sartre, among many others, and explains the marvelous things that happen to our mammalian brains when we try something new, all to discover what she’s learned firsthand: it is great to suck at something. Sucking at something rewires our brain in positive ways, helps us cultivate grit, and inspires us to find joy in the process, without obsessing about the destination. Ultimately, it gives you freedom: the freedom to suck without caring is revelatory. Coupling honest, hilarious storytelling with unexpected insights, (It’s Great to) Suck at Something is an invitation to embrace our shortcomings as the very best of who we are and to open ourselves up to adventure, where we may not find what we thought we were looking for, but something way more important.

Forgiveness: Learning How to Forgive by Julia Frazier White is a book for people who have been deeply hurt and caught in a vortex of anger, depression, and resentment. Julia White shares how forgiveness can reduce anxiety and depression while increasing self esteem and hopefulness toward ones future. This fresh new work demonstrates how forgiveness, approached in the correct manner, benefits the forgiver far more than the forgiven. Filled with wisdom and warm encouragement, the book leads the reader on a path that will bring clarity and peace. The act of forgiving is itself an exercise in restoring oneself to wholeness. When a heinous act is committed, sometimes one wonders if forgiveness is even possible. In this ground-breaking book, Dr. White gives us the seven steps that are taken in the forgiveness process. When we forgive, she says, we set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner we set free is us. In an easy-to-read yet astute analysis of the meaning and value of forgiveness, Dr. White teaches the reader that forgiveness is a way of healing. She takes as her model sound biblical principles and outlines the many subtleties involved in forgiveness, such as distinguishing anger from hate, and noting that we only forgive those we blame (including ourselves). Forgetting may be more difficult, but at least Forgiveness: Learning How to Forgive can help us along the path toward release and healing.
