Daddy, Can I Be a Marine? by Ben Olbon (Book Spotlight)

Many United States veterans answer the call to serve long before their lives include spouses or children. Daddy, Can I Be A Marine? is the heartfelt story of a former U.S. Marine Corps Officer sharing his journey of service with his children – offering them a glimpse into the man their father was, and still is, beneath the uniform. Looking back at one’s time in service can be a source of great pride. For many of us, it’s part of our identity that those closest to us may never fully know. This story is a bridge between generations – an invitation to pass down memories, but the meaning behind them. Whether you served one tour or devoted your life to the Corps, this book is for every Marine who wants to share their love of the mission, the brotherhood, and the legacy with the ones they love most. Semper Fidelis – Always Faithful.

Whispers Between the Lines by Lamar Golden abd Liana Golden (Book Spotlight)

A journal. A bucket list. A legacy of courage.

When Ava Ward discovers her grandmother Eleanor’s forgotten journal, she doesn’t just find a list of unfulfilled dreams—she finds a new purpose. Each task she tackles, from singing in front of an audience to taking a spontaneous trip, brings her closer to understanding the woman behind the stories and uncovering the truths Eleanor left behind.

But as Ava pieces together Eleanor’s past, she stumbles upon a love story lost to time and a family secret that challenges everything she thought she knew. Along the way, Ava discovers that finding herself isn’t about erasing fear—it’s about embracing it.

With the help of Lucas, a boy whose own fears mirror hers, Ava embarks on a journey of self-discovery that bridges generations. Together, they learn that bravery comes not from perfection but from the courage to try, fail, and try again.

Whispers Between the Lines is a poignant and uplifting story about love, healing, and the unbreakable bonds that tie us to those who came before. This unforgettable novel will inspire readers to embrace their own adventures and find the strength to chase their dreams.
