- Digging Deep: A Writer Uncovers His Marriages
- by Boyd Lemon
Digging Deep is a memoir about Boyd Lemon's role in the destruction of his three marriages and his journey to understand that role that caused so much confusion, bitterness and blame. Ultimately, the writing itself brought him the peace that had eluded him for decades. He had lived on the cusp of the moralistic generation that grew up in the 1940's and 50's and the next generation that embraced sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, as well as greater independence and equality for women. The transition rocked all pretenses of his working class upbringing.
Lemon's hope is that revealing his own struggle to clarity and peace will lead others to their own awakening, as many modern couples and indiividuals deal with the new order in relationships.
After a stellar 40-year career as a top and nationally recognized attorney in his field (Time Magazine called him first after Martha Stewart’s conviction of insider trading), Boyd Lemon followed a deep calling, and began the life of an artist as he neared retirement age. Following his heart led him to face a painful past, and re-invent himself as artist and writer. The journey as artist began in the idyllic coastal town of Ventura, California, then on to the venerable literary, music and art scenes of Boston, and finally to living the dream life of many an artist, a Bohemian year on the Left Bank in Paris, with a final few months in the hills of Tuscany before returning back to California.
Once Lemon started writing, his passion, combined with years of discipline as a professional, gained the notice of world-renowned writer and teacher, Natalie Goldberg, who invited Lemon to her prestigious year-long workshop for writers in Taos. He now lives in Ventura, California near his children and grandchildren.

- Scattered Tears
- by Yolanda Gaston
“I’ve reached a point in my life where it would be a burden to consider what other people think about me. I can no longer afford to carry around the weight of the world and their opinions. I‘m going to be happy with who I am and give myself permission to be free.”
This is what Grace said on the morning she turned 30. After living a life trying to please those around her and completely ignoring her own feelings, she decided that day to simply stop. Gone were the days that other people could tell her how she should look, how much she should weigh, and who she should love.
Scattered Tears is a poetic depiction of Grace’s life. It describes her climb up from low self esteem and the challenges she faced trying to live up to everyone’s standards but her own. Each poem reveals a tear that has been scattered and a new scar that has been healed. For every tear that she scatters, Grace in turn plants a seed to embrace a new outlook on life.
From breakups to triumphs; from laughter to heartache; from pain to pleasure - this book will celebrate it all. Life is a journey and it is meant to teach us to adapt, accept, and embrace. Join Grace as she learns how to love and accept herself for who she is and emerges a new creation in the process.
