War stories inhere in all generations. This book is about the shards of war--the deep sharp edges left within those who have seen combat, survived it, and lived beyond it. The book weaves these stories told to the author, or experienced by him, with the Civil War Diary of the author's great-great grandfather. Grandfather Benjamin Franklin Heuston (1824-1894) fought for the Union with the 22nd Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment. He marched with General Sherman to Atlanta in 1864, and was badly wounded.

Part Devil Wears Prada coming-of-age story, part career advice, and part memoir, Shards in My Hair captures the chaos and the sometimes unfair and challenging aspects of business, while pulling back the curtain on the level of persistence and resilience that it takes to make it. Counter to Lean In’s heavy-handed blame-game of what women “should do,” Shards explores what women (and men!) actually have to do to survive and thrive. But it’s not just about business. As a single mom, Cindie Jamison pulls back the curtain on the very real challenges of trying to juggle it all.

Shards of a Broken Mystery: Restoring Hekate and Our Divine Feminine Soul records the real-time unfolding of the relationship between the author and an ancient Titan Greek goddess, Hekate: denigrated, discarded, and all but forgotten during the rise of the patriarchy in millennia past. The work could be called a psychoactive memoir as minute after minute seeds and grows a sense of inner process.
