Book Description
Research has shown that laughter increases serotonin levels. Read this book and take plenty of fluids. In Chutin' the Bull, psychotherapist Mark George examines the distracted mind and finds hope for change in a crazy world; one where people and animals talk out their dilemmas. Whether it's goldfish hoping for a better life, a poor soul overcoming a fear of snakes in his toilet, or a couple breaking up over syntax, this book is filled with creatures engaging in healing conversations to cope with life's stresses...and funny things happen! Where do serial killers go for help? Are we teaching our kids to become socialists? Why does "going green" frankly stink when you get right down to it? Join Mark George as he tries to make sense of utter nonsense through hilarious dialogues of people and animals seeking relief in a stressed-out world!

Book Description
My name is Tess Turner--at least, that's what I've always been told. I have a voice but it isn't mine. It used to say things so I'd fit in, to please my parents, to please my teachers. It used to tell the universe I was something I wasn't. It lied. It never occurred to me that everyone else was lying too. Fifteen-year-old Tess doesn't mean to become mute. At first, she's just too shocked to speak. And who wouldn't be? Discovering your whole life has been a lie because your dad isn't your real father is a pretty big deal. Terrified of the truth, Tess retreats into silence. Reeling from her family's betrayal, Tess sets out to discover the identity of her real father. He could be anyone--even the familiar-looking teacher at her school. Tess continues to investigate, uncovering a secret that could ruin multiple lives. It all may be too much for Tess to handle, but how can she ask for help when she's forgotten how to use her voice? In a brilliant study of identity, betrayal, and complex family dynamics, award-winning author Annabel Pitcher explores the importance of communication, even when we're faced with unspeakable truths.
