For fans of A Thousand Boy Kisses and You've Reached Sam, don't miss this emotional and beautiful novel about love, grief, and making the most of every moment. "Don't worry, Anna. I'll tell her, okay? Just let me think about the best way to do it." "Okay." "Promise me? Promise you won't say anything?" "Don't worry." I laughed. "It's our secret, right?" According to her best friend Frankie, twenty days in ZanzibarBay is the perfect opportunity to have a summer fling, and if they meet one boy ever day, there's a pretty good chance Anna will find her first summer romance. Anna lightheartedly agrees to the game, but there's something she hasn't told Frankie---she's already had that kind of romance, and it was with Frankie's older brother, Matt, just before his tragic death one year ago. Beautifully written and emotionally honest, this is a debut novel that explores what it truly means to love someone and what it means to grieve, and ultimately, how to make the most of every single moment this world has to offer.

A Boy's Summer
Author: Gerry Spence
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429980982
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Gerry Spence, father to six, grandfather to ten, is a man who knows intimately the joys of fatherhood and who writes beautifully and lyrically about how fatherhood allows a man to rediscover the boy within himself, while simultaneously assuming true adult responsibility for the first time. This is a man who truly understands boys and how boys grow up to become men. No school teaches us how to become successful human beings; there are no classes to teach boys how to become decent adult men. Boys grow up by imitating their father-if, that is, the father spends enough time with his son. A Boy's Summer is a book of short essays describing activities, adventures and experiments that fathers and sons can do together. These projects take from an hour to an afternoon to a weekend-time that a father and son can spend together discovering themselves and the world around them Illustrated with forty-five line drawings by Tom Spence, A Boy's Summer is written so it can be read by father to son or by son to father. "This book is for boys who, with their fathers, will share those precious moments that create the stuff of a lifetime from which successful sons, and because of it, successful fathers, are made."

Illusions
Author: Corina Taylor
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1669825108
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 65
Book Description
Six years after her husband’s sudden death, Corina Taylor still felt the heaviness and deep pain of loss. As she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, every uncomfortable truth about herself, her relationships, the world she inhabited, and the systems and structures that silently governed her beliefs and behaviors slowly began to unravel, ultimately prompting the powerful realization that the death she was grieving was not her husband’s, but her own. For many years she conformed to the roles and expectations society placed on her, listened to the “shoulds,” and became attached to stories that did not serve her. She lost herself in the process. As Corina began to look within, she learned how our systems distort our reality, mask our true nature and alter our behaviour in destructive ways. Once she stopped assuming systems are a given, she chose to interact differently with them or abandon them entirely. By seeing them for what they are, their power over her eventually dissolved, allowing her to reclaim her autonomy and freedom. Illusions shares a roadmap of how one woman removed the blinders, healed her wounds, and dismantled the status quo after the sudden death of her husband.

Book Description
How to Date Like a Guy: 1. Flirt constantly. 2. Keep your options open. 3. Don't get attached. Cassie and her two best friends, Greta and Keagan, are so over boyfriends. But just because the girls are anti-boyfriend doesn't mean they're anti-boy. So they make a pact for the summer: They'll each kiss ten different guys before school starts—no commitments, no drama, just fun. Sounds easy enough. Then Cassie meets the perfect guy (nine boys too soon), and the pact starts to seem like a terrible idea. Not to mention Boy Number One turns out to be her best friend's ex. Ugh—Cassie's summer just went from carefree to complicated faster than she can say "heartbreaker."
