Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The truth is that for those who dare to be different school and growing up can be hell. Truth & Dare is a collection of edgy, quirky stories that revolve around a funny, nerdy cast of characters who struggle to fit in . . . or struggle not to. They will appeal to the inner geek of anyone caught up in attempts to navigate the labyrinthine teen caste system. Written in authentic teen voices, they speak to fans of the movies Juno and Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist and the TV series The Gilmore Girls. Witty and smart, these are short stories from the point of view of funny, though not always cool or popular guys and girls, who are dealing with all the pressures of growing up - school, friends, music, relationships, parents, and just plain fitting in (or not).Contributors:Jennifer Finney Boylan is author of eleven books, five of which are YA books.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Acclaimed author Jennifer Gilmore's intimate and achingly beautiful novel deftly explores the role that chance and choice play in shaping the lives of two teenagers who are separated by sixteen years, but whose lives are intertwined.*Two Starred Reviews!*"This emotional, visceral novel haunted me in the best ways. Jennifer Gilmore has written something of real depth, which will leave readers thinking for a long time about the lives that other people lead, as well as the ones they might have led. If Only is gripping and shiveringly beautiful; a true achievement."--Meg Wolitzer, bestselling author of The Interestings and Belzhar BEFORE: When Bridget imagined her life at sixteen, it didn't look like this. She didn't think that her boyfriend would dump her for another girl.

But as she sifts through the many paths and the many people who want to parent her child, she can't help but feel that there is no right decision.AFTER: Ivy doesn't know much about her birth mother. She knows that she is now the same age Bridget was when she placed Ivy for adoption. She knows that Bridget was the one who named her. And she knows that fifteen years ago Bridget disappeared from Ivy's and her adoptive moms' lives.Ivy wants to discover more about herself, but as she goes to find Bridget, she can't help but feel that the risks might far outweigh the benefits of knowing where she comes from and why her birth mother chose to walk away."Gilmore brings special yet subtle artistry to her interwoven story, weaving motifs and even seemingly extraneous people through the different iterations to keep each version connected with the others."--BCCB (starred review)"Gilmore's gritty multigenerational tale not only seeks to ask adoption's toughest questions, but dares to offer no easy answers: Not to be missed."--Kirkus (starred review)"Gilmore's writing is emotionally raw yet beautiful, touching upon some traditional Y.A. themes.with an almost mystical feel."--New York Times Book Review From the acclaimed author of "We Were Never Here" comes a beautiful and thought-provoking nonlinear literary novel about a pregnant teen and a teen searching for her birth mother.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Trauma-Informed Storytelling Master Class "David Mount's book offers suggestions for rewriting our concept of chronic pain as a type of trauma and treating our clients and patients justly, addressing these traumatic sequelae. The trifecta of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms involves key consequences: reexperiencing trauma, avoidance, and physiological arousal. When we look at chronic pain through the lens of trauma, we find the same. The world of chronic pain treatment is growing every year, but still, it can be flooded with erroneous and outdated ideas about chronic pain and addiction." -Dr. Jennifer Bugg Wright, a practicing psychologist, neuropsychologist, and psychotherapist with more than twenty-six years in the field of mental health and fifteen years as a neuropsychologist and forensic expert. ---------------------- "Pain management providers interact daily with a broad spectrum of society including administrators, mothers, attorneys, veterans, business owners, factory workers, teachers, and students. To a person, what these patients want is to be heard, to be understood, and to have action taken on their behalf. These people deserve more attention than they garner, more respect than they are given, and more sympathy than is lent. In the final analysis, it's a matter of enough people demanding change for people in a meaningful way." -Dr. Christopher A. Gilmore, a partner at the Carolinas Pain Institute in Winston-Salem who has served as a clinical assistant professor and adjunct faculty at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. --------------------- "It is time to focus on the big picture of unmasking vulnerability and disability attached to unfulfilled dreams. Complex-persistent-debilitating chronic pain is a neuro-psycho-social collapsing condition that can adversely affect thinking, concentration, memory, sleep quality, energy, nutrition, behavior, mental well-being, and faith/spiritual practices. Chronic pain does not discriminate based on your sociodemographic characteristics, hitting with a boxer's punch. No population segments or communities are off-limits, from Main Street to Wall Street, from the paved roads to the dirt roads. None of us, not one of us, want to be disqualified based on social standards that seek to marginalize our value because we live with chronic pain complications. But yes, it happens every day, the actions of others operating to sideline our talents, gifts, and long-standing contributions, creating a type of neuropsychosocial inertia in the suffering person. Being relegated to an invisible status is all too familiar for so many people in the chronic pain fraternity and sorority. This book will inspire new understanding and conversational breakthroughs as we explore the challenges, trials, and tribulations others are facing while hiding in plain sight." -Dr. David L. Mount, a proud husband, father, patient, congregational member, entrepreneur, influencer, philanthropist, talent coach, organizer, and mixed-methods innovator The Gentle Power of Compassion in Action Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Given the vital role literary mothers play in books for young readers, it is remarkable how little scholarly attention has been paid to the representation of mothers outside of fairy tales and beyond studies of gender stereotypes. This collection of thirteen essays begins to fill a critical gap by bringing together a range of theoretical perspectives by a rich mix of senior scholars and new voices. Following an introduction in which the coeditors describe key trends in interdisciplinary scholarship, the book's first section focuses on the pedagogical roots of maternal influence in early children's literature. The next section explores the shifting cultural perspectives and subjectivities of the twentieth century. The third section examines the interplay of fantasy, reality, and the ethical dimensions of literary mothers. The collection ends with readings of postfeminist motherhood, from contemporary realism to dystopian fantasy.The range of critical approaches in this volume will provide multiple inroads for scholars to investigate richer readings of mothers in children's and young adult literature.Lisa Rowe Fraustino, Ashford, Connecticut, is professor and chair of the Department of English at Eastern Connecticut State University.
