Ellen Pompea hit bottom, or at least pavement, when a car hit her on a busy street and sent her flying. On the way to the hospital, she slipped into a coma and entered an alternate world, one that reflected the struggles and challenges she felt inside. From the burning desert sands where she discovered Daniel, her Guardian Angel injured from a brutal attack by Marauders, to the Marauder's fight ring, the Ice Queen's palace and even the pits of hell, Ellen travels in search of who she was before her life fell apart. Daniel faithfully accompanies her every step of the way vowing to do whatever it takes to help her piece herself back together. And in the process, they discover a deep love neither can fathom yet both need in order to survive the ordeal. However, will it be enough to bring Ellen the healing she needs before her time runs out?

Hyperbole and a Half
Author: Allie Brosh
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451666187
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Pages : 71
Book Description
A collection of stories and poems filled with vivid memories, halfway between verse and prose. The words are honest, sensitive, and profound, but also sometimes humorous, sometimes deep. The style is lyrical and deceptively simple. This evocative collection is filled with colorful images and description. See and hear the bees and hummingbirds in such poems as “My Little Monet’s Garden” I sat on the bench underneath the spider web. It floated over my head like a veil. A trio of hummingbirds, a buzzing of bees musically danced, sucking their honey all around me. They stayed, hovered, and hummed their own song. I sat wrapped in silence until a thought of how to put this into words broke the spell— and they flew away. Find the beauty and joy as you walk the poet’s path to truth and enlightenment.
