Book Description
Overcoming Love in Wonderland is a humorous Alice in Wonderland store for women who love too much. It’s a story of self discovery as BreAnna tries to leave a bad relationship and emotional heal. Held captive in her obsession to save Michael, BreAnna, a whimsical woman of 28, awakens after a car accident to find she’s in a strange hospital room with a woman caregiver called the White Jacket. The white Jacket learns of BreAnna’s painful and unrequited love for Michael (a diabetic pharmacist) and tries to help BreAnna by giving her a book entitled “Women Who Love Too Much.” Can the book help her to see things more clearly? Will it release her from her love and need to save Michael? While recovering, BreAnna meets the Purple-haired woman, a chain-smoking antagonist, snooping through her clothes. The purple-haired woman evilly informs BreAnna where she really is, a quirky mental hospital. The purple-haired woman introduces BreAnna to the other zany patients by their nicknames: Trixie, a teenage prankster who plays with the lights; Antsy, an anxious woman with two ants on her butt named Skeetzo and Frenik; Spits, a high fashion/pretentious model with a lisp; PJ a playful old woman who wears pajamas; Nev, a young girl spellbound to a TV that doesn’t work; Nympho, a large woman who’s obsessed with "farting;” The “Devil,” a ghostly child who cries in the closets; Thumper, a woman who beats her head against walls; and the Caregiver, nicknamed the "Strait jacket,” a woman who restrains her patients in an effort to restore order in their dysfunctional world. After meeting her fellow patients, BreAnna becomes overwhelmed by their insanity and decides to take the advice of the purple-haired woman and use drugs to mask her pain. Can BreAnna find the strength and courage to separate herself from their craziness before it’s too late? Or will their madness envelope her, keeping her a prisoner of love in wonderland? Overcoming Love in Wonderland is dedicated to my beloved Mom and Dad and for all women and men who love too much. I would like to say a special thank you to Pat and Sue Thomas for their friendship while writing this book. Thank you, Sue, for giving up some of your valuable time to help me. Your extra set of eyes was much appreciated and needed in editing my book. Disclaimers found in my book starting with Scripture from the Bible are all from NKJV except for pages 168, 169, & 185 which is from KJV. For sound effects used in my book they are located at written sound Onomatopoeia dictionary website and Onomatopoeia book on the internet. Also in my book there are references and usage from Robin Norwood’s book “Women Who Love Too Much” especially in chapters 5, 6, 15 and 16. I would also like to extend a special thank you to Robin Norwood for writing an insightful and helpful book. Your hard work and diligence in writing “Women Who Love Too Much” helped change my life. I’m eternally grateful.

Narrative Therapy in Wonderland: Connecting with Children's Imaginative Know-How
Author: David Epston
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393712117
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
The remarkable power of connecting with children’s voices and imagination in narrative therapy. Therapists may marvel at children’s imaginative triumphs, but how often do they recognize such talents as vital to the therapy hour? Should therapists reserve a space for make-believe only when nothing is at stake, or might it be precisely those moments when something truly matters that imagination is most urgently needed? This book offers an alternative to therapeutic perspectives that treat children as vulnerable and helpless. It invites readers to consider how the imaginative gifts and knowledge of children, when supported by the therapist and family, can bring about dramatic change. The book begins with an account of the foundations of narrative theory. It explains how such elements as language, characterization, and suspense contribute to the coherence of a story and bring young people into focus. Each subsequent chapter provides specific suggestions for the practice of narrative therapy. Examples of the difficulties children face are offered, along with narrative interventions and tips for overcoming common barriers that can arise along the way. Readers will learn a variety of ready-to-implement strategies, including how to personify problems, compose letters to affirm children’s identities, summon fairies to lend a helping hand, and many more. Sample dialogues between the authors, children, and their parents bring the application of each practice to life, illuminating how even the most stubborn problem can be outwitted, sometimes by mischievous means. With robust professional insight, Narrative Therapy in Wonderland will aid any practitioner in calling on children’s imaginative know-how. How often can a young person be spotted diving headlong into a world of fantasy? This book explores the extraordinary fact that these young people may, upon arrival in Wonderland, be far better equipped to take on even dire challenges than when they remain “up above.”

After something shoves her through, she runs into her classmates and discovers that they are characters from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. They make her forget everything she saw, but that doesn’t mean she is out of trouble yet. The White Rabbit has other plans for her as he sneaks into her hometown of Salem, Oregon and tries to kill her before she can stop the evil taking over Wonderland. But just before he succeeds, the Cheshire Cat saves her and takes her back to Wonderland. Except now she is stuck in the fantasy world and has to fight the Cirque de Rêves, a group led by Morpheus that is trying to take over Wonderland. However, it’s not just Wonderland that is in trouble, but also the people in her world as each citizen in Wonderland represents a human’s dream. Can Alice overcome her fears and insecurities to defeat Morpheus? Or will he be able to lock her away in darkness forever? "Fantastic Worldbuilding Wondrous Characterization Eccentric Plot Fragments of charming romance Refreshing YA fairytale!" - Amazon Review "I loved the premise of the story: something is wrong in Wonderland, but the original Alice isn’t there to save it this time. A new Alice is pulled into Wonderland to defeat the latest evil, finding that pieces of Lewis Carroll’s original story were based in truth and now she must step into the shoes of a legendary hero. Details from the original Alice in Wonderland are brilliantly woven into the novel, and usually with a twist that makes it fresh." - Amazon Review "I found myself becoming completely immersed into Wonderland and this particular story. I liked the various nods to the original story, while keeping true to this retelling. I have read a few Alice in Wonderland retellings, and Trapped in Wonderland is probably my favorite." - Goodreads Review
