Book Description
Childhood, adolescence-they're supposed to be the easy years, a time for fun and self-discovery. But some kids aren't that fortunate. They're too busy struggling to keep it together, doing whatever it takes to make it through the day. And there aren't many teens in Orange County, California, who get that more than Brad, Kylie, and Travis.Brad's always been a loner with very few friends, but his life was pretty much average right up until his parents' divorce shattered his world. Coping with his older brother Johnny's drug addiction and getting teased for being overweight doesn't help either. The loneliness, depression, and stress trigger an eating disorder, and he becomes consumed with the need to burn off the fat that he blames for isolating him from his peers.Kylie is an orphan-or at least she feels like she is. Her father died when she was young, and her mother has been so spaced out on meds in the years since that Kylie basically takes care of herself. And when her boyfriend Johnny starts doing drugs with Travis to escape his troubles, she decides it's time to follow in her mother's footsteps.Ever since Travis's mom was admitted to the psych ward, he's been stuck living with his aunt. Smoking weed with his best friend Johnny used to be enough of a relief, but when his mom finally comes home, getting stoned suddenly just won't cut it. The quest for a more potent escape leads him to bond with his drug dealer, and Travis quickly realizes this new path will end with him either in jail or a body bag.

Responsive Design Workflow
Author: Stephen Hay
Publisher: Pearson Education
ISBN: 0321887867
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
In our industry, everything changes quickly, usually for the better. We have more and better tools for creating websites and applications that work across multiple platforms. Oddly enough, design workflow hasn't changed much, and what has changed is often for worse. Old-school workflow is simply not effective on our multiplatform web. Fixed-width Photoshop comps and overproduced wireframes are no longer the way to design for today's multi-platform web. This book provides a practical approach for "designing in the browser." It shows how to better manage client expectations and development requirements, and offers a method of design documentation.

Under the Haystack
Author: P. A. Engebrecht
Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781475199109
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
When her mother and her stepfather did not come home for dinner, Sandy had a sense of foreboding. But her mother had been late before, so Sandy hid her fears from her two younger sisters. Only later, getting up in the middle of the night and finding that her mother's clothes were gone, did she admit the horrible truth–they had been abandoned. Readers will be caught up in thirteen-year-old Sandy's attempt to shield her sisters from knowledge of the desertion and to keep them all together on their run-down, debt-ridden farm. She deceives the neighbors by inventing a sick aunt whom their mother is supposed to be visiting, earns small sums by doing odd jobs, and faces crises, big and small, with occasional help from her only friend, Joe. Her hard test of self-reliance comes at a time in her life when she is undergoing changes she longs to explore and think about–a time, too, when the mystery and thrill of first love unexpectedly come to her. Sandy's story is also one of life on an American farm hovering on the brink of poverty. "Under the Haystack" is a novel rich in family warmth, humor and sadness. Sandy, courageous and believable as she stand in uncertainty on the threshold of womanhood while trying to hold her family together, is a girl with whom readers can readily identify.
