Book Description
Abuse of any kind leaves indelible marks on the life of the one who experiences it. People who are in relationships where there is violence often experience a series of negative feelings that oppress them, such as guilt, shame, fear, low self-esteem, insecurity, pain, and anguish, among others. In this book, I open my heart to you and tell you about my experience with abuse, the wounds it left, and the healing that has taken place within me. For a long time, I did not understand why I had experienced life as I did, until I could see there was a purpose behind the pain. I turned that pain into my teacher, and it led me to discover who I really am and the reason for which I was created. You can also heal the wounds that abuse has caused you and live free from the ties of destructive thoughts. When God thought of you and me, He already had a great plan for our lives. Discovering that plan and carrying it out is what gives our life meaning. With this book, I want to invite you to take that heroine in you through a journey towards healing and discover how wonderful and powerful you are.

Heroine
Author: Mindy McGinnis
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006284721X
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
A captivating and powerful exploration of the opioid crisis—the deadliest drug epidemic in American history—through the eyes of a college-bound softball star. Edgar Award-winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a visceral and necessary novel about addiction, family, friendship, and hope. When a car crash sidelines Mickey just before softball season, she has to find a way to hold on to her spot as the catcher for a team expected to make a historic tournament run. Behind the plate is the only place she’s ever felt comfortable, and the painkillers she’s been prescribed can help her get there. The pills do more than take away pain; they make her feel good. With a new circle of friends—fellow injured athletes, others with just time to kill—Mickey finds peaceful acceptance, and people with whom words come easily, even if it is just the pills loosening her tongue. But as the pressure to be Mickey Catalan heightens, her need increases, and it becomes less about pain and more about want, something that could send her spiraling out of control.

But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy.
