Pituca by Yviebeth Bardug
This book is the story of Liz, a driven independent woman, facing the challenges of what has shaped her life in her growing years, her journey towards accepting the past, the mistakes and achievements of her family as well as accepting the mistakes people she cared for her made. Moving on and recognising that what she was and made her were effectively those challenges. She was stronger and better because of these events.
By accepting that her journey, by fate or individual design, had created an alluring, successful but at the same time insecure individual who craved the company of her mother, who missed her brother as they were both forced to grow quickly in order to maintain the family unit.
By understanding her past and acknowledging the gift of the future, Liz was able to clearly see the value of real honest friendship and the meaning of rewarding those who cared and moving on from those who did not.

What inspired you to write your book?
I am an avid reader, mainly of romance and thrillers and decided 20 years ago to start writing. This book took a long time in between working and raising two kids. I have now started my second book which is a romance thriller.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Still tip-toing, thoughts pushing through the back of her mind, she started worrying about a possible break in, unheard of but still possible. Edinburgh was well known as a peaceful city. She pushed open the door, very slowly so that nobody was disturbed, her heart stopped, she was just looking, staring in disbelief, they were oblivious to her presence, her eyes, with tears swimming on them, her sight adjusting to the darkness, not enough to free flow down her face. She knew I had to be in control, survival mode had kicked in, fight, or flee reflexes full on. She knew that she could not show her anger and despair. Guessing being only 10 p.m. Tim must have thought he had enough time. She wondered how long they have been seeing each other, how they must have laughed at her, how could he have had a lover, her of all people. She could not make a sound, her mouth and lips were dry, so dry as if she had been exposed to the dessert sun for hours, parched to best describe them, her lips moved but no sound came out, they were trembling, all she remembered was her mouth being covered by her hand in order to muffle the sound of disgust and shock that came out of her throat.
All these thoughts were going through her in what felt like a lifetime, but it was in actual fact only two to three seconds. She started backing off, she could not witness it anymore, she had to get out of here without them realising that she had witnessed them making love, her boyfriend, her love, companion, and someone whom she considered her best friend, Charlie.
She got as far as the door, the tears started falling to the floor, her hands were shaking but she had managed to open the door and close it without making too much noise. She was hoping that the noise from their lovemaking will be enough to muffle the noise made from opening and closing the door, they were being so loud; he was like a wild animal, something he had never experienced with her, he obviously found Charlie amazing, more than that, he must desire her passionately to act like that. Liz was conscious of trying to be quiet, it had taken her less than 5 minutes to run up the stairs, it was now taking me more than five to go down the stairs; she was conscious that she did not want to be discovered. Fear of discovery and being publicly humiliated gripped her, the only thing that made her achieve her silent goal.
“Please God, don’t let them hear me, I don’t want to be discovered” Liz muttered to herself. “I can’t take a face-to-face humiliation.”
Liz got to the front door on the ground floor, knew that if they looked out of the window, they could easily see her, it was not dark enough to disguise herself in the shadows, the streetlamps were too bright, but she had no choice. She decided to put her jacket over her head and walked hugging the wall until she was far enough away from Tim’s flat. If people thought she was stupid, so be it, she thought. Finally, far enough she could breathe, her heart pounding, body shaking and tears on free flow.

What’s Behind Your Belly Button? A Psychological Perspective of the Intelligence of Human Nature and Gut Instinct by Martha Char Love
“What’s Behind Your Belly Button?” explains what your gut feelings are actually capable of telling you about your inner instinctive needs, how to listen to the voice of your gut, and how to use both of your brains—head and gut—to work together for your optimal health and well-being. Although numerous books and articles have recently talked about the gut instincts as valuable in giving us useful hunches in the decision-making process, “What’s Behind Your Belly Button?” goes much further and explains how gut feelings not only have a psychological intelligence of their own, but are also understandably rational in their functioning and reflect in their own voice how well the two instinctive human needs of acceptance and of control of one’s own responses in our lives are being met.
Since Dr. Michael Gershon, M.D., published in 1999 his revolutionary medical findings that demonstrated that the gut has an intelligence of its own and called it the “Second Brain”, people have been examining their guts with growing interest in trying to understand their gut feelings. “What’s Behind YOur Belly Button?” answers the questions many people have of the second brain and the ENS in a new Gut Psychology, and explore how to use both your head and gut brains to work together for a healthy life. It is written in a narrative style that allows for the reader to understand the experience within themselves of having two brains and it makes thinking of the human being with these two brains become truly understandable for the first time.
While the authors make this material easy to understand, the psychological explanations of gut intelligence and instincts in this book are comprehensive, well-researched, and based upon clinical studies with hundreds people by the two authors. Utilizing the research of Dr. Gershon, the work of Dr. Lise Eliot who charts the development of children from conception through the first five years of life, recent research of their own in the Psychology Department at Sonoma State University, and their vast clinical experience in career counseling and psychometry, the two authors of What’s Behind Your Belly Button have presented an interpretation of recent medical research into a new revolutionary understanding of gut instincts and a more accurate behavioral understanding of the Self and human nature than has previously been available.
This book is recommended for anyone looking for a hopeful view of humankind and a method for getting in touch with gut instincts to reduce stress, cope with fear and anxiety, deal with health issues and make efforts to stay healthy, and to increase optimal problem-solving and life-decision making abilities. It is a book that would be useful for general audience readers as a self-help book, as well as for scholars of psychology, education, neurology, medicine, and business organizational leadership interested in the well-being of healthy decision-making and the human condition. It is also suggested for parents and teachers who would like to increase the intuitive intelligence of both themselves and their children .
