A Nurse Practitioner’s Story of Grit, Care, and Innovation
In today’s medical world, burnout is rising and rural clinics are left understaffed, and many clinicians feel trapped in a system that has forgotten its purpose. Professionals try cutting hours, switching jobs, even turning to corporate locum tenens agencies—only to find the same disillusionment waiting for them. The frustration is real: exhaustion, moral injury, and the sense that the heart of medicine is slipping away.
But there is another path—one discovered in the most unlikely place: the remote villages of bush Alaska, where temperatures plunge to 50 below and a single clinician may stand between a community and catastrophe.
Medicine at 50 Below offers a different path. By sharing her years as a nurse practitioner in bush Alaska where she was often the only provider for hundreds of miles, Mary Ellen Doty reveals how reconnecting with purpose and autonomy can revive both the clinician and the communities they serve. Her experience led to the creation of Wilderness Medical Staffing, now staffing more than 150 rural and remote clinics with physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants seeking meaningful work.
Mary Ellen writes with clarity, humility, and a deep respect for Alaska’s people and land. Her purpose is simple: Show readers that there are solutions for rural healthcare and that there is a way for clinicians to reclaim the meaning they thought was gone.
In this book, you’ll discover:
The realities of practicing medicine in extreme environments—and the resilience it builds.
How rural and remote medicine can restore professional purpose and reduce burnout.
Why rotational staffing solves problems permanent placement never could.
How community-centered care leads to better outcomes for Native Alaskans.
A founder’s blueprint for creating a mission-driven healthcare company without losing your values.
If you’re ready to see what meaningful medicine can look like again, Medicine at 50 Below will show you the way. $0.99 on Kindle.

When Winning Isn’t Enough: Lessons from Sport Science, Faith, and Finding MeaningJack Groppel was driven to succeed long before he understood why. The son of a demanding, alcoholic father, Jack learned early that achievement was the only path to approval. By his twenties, he had already become among the youngest NCAA tennis coaches in the country, despite never having formal tennis training. Soon after, he was helping shape the future of sport science, training world-class athletes, and speaking on stages with global leaders. His résumé grew to include tennis halls of fame, Fortune 50 boardrooms, and speaking about chronic disease prevention before the United Nations.But behind the accolades was a man unraveling. Failed marriages, estranged relationships, and a hospital stay with no one by his side revealed the emptiness of a life lived for trophies and applause. Everything changed when Jack adopted Shen, a toddler from China who wanted nothing to do with him. Their uneasy beginnings grew into a bond that redefined Jack’s understanding of love.
Mountains Within is an unflinching account of chasing success at any cost—and finally learning what matters most. From developing and validating the training of world-class athletes and sharing the stage with Christopher Reeve and Mikhail Gorbachev to a life-shifting climb up Kilimanjaro with his son, Jack shares how achievement addiction nearly destroyed him—and how fatherhood, faith, and a mountain helped him find redemption.
Go behind the scenes and discover: The dawn of sport science and some of the breakthroughs that shaped modern athletics. How childhood wounds can fuel achievement addiction—and how to break free. The impact of adoption, parenting, and faith to transform a life. How to redefine personal success so it strengthens rather than destroys your relationships. Inspiration to climb your own “mountains within” and focus on a purposeful journey of meaning, balance, and love.
Raw, candid, and unexpectedly hopeful, Mountains Within is more than a memoir of sports, success, and sacrifice. It’s a story of fatherhood, redemption, and learning that true greatness is measured not in trophies but in love and legacy. $1.99 on Kindle.

December 1945. The bombs have stopped falling, but Tokyo is still smoldering.

In a city built on survival, one young boy learns the cost of staying alive—and what it takes to finally start living.
Philadelphia in the 1980s was no place for the soft-hearted. For Chaz Holesworth, childhood meant dodging gangs, addiction, and silence after slammed doors. His father’s world ran on heroin, his mother’s on holy fear.
Caught between two extremes, sin and salvation, Chaz learned early on how to disappear: keep your head down, don’t ask questions, and pray someone notices you anyway.
But everything changed the day he discovered music. In R.E.M., Tori Amos, and Nirvana, he hears something no sermon ever offered: truth, raw and imperfect. As his home life spiraled and his faith fractured, those lyrics became lifelines, every note pulling him closer to the one thing he never had: his own identity.
What happens when the noise outside becomes louder than the voice inside?
Or when loyalty to broken people starts to break you too?
Unflinching and darkly funny, Life and How to Live It: Volume One is more than a coming-of-age memoir: It’s a portrait of grit, grief, poverty, and the fragile beauty of hope born from chaos. Chaz Holesworth’s story captures the pulse of Philadelphia’s rough-edged streets and the soundtrack that kept him alive as he battled lost faith, family dysfunction, and his father’s addiction.
For anyone who’s ever grown up in the wreckage of someone else’s choices, Chaz’s story is proof that you can still build something beautiful from the debris $2.99 on Kindle.
