Bad Friend
'This book is your new best friend' SOFIE HAGEN'Truly game-changing. A book we should ALL read' LOUISE PENTLAND'So many people need this book' HOLLY BOURNE Society's message is loud and clear: romantic relationships matter more than friendship. But when we have an average of twenty-nine platonic relationships in our lifetime, compared to just seven-to-ten romantic relationships, why is the conversation on love far greater than friendship? Life coach and broadcaster Michelle Elman is determined to fix this. If the conversation on friendship is quiet, the one on friendship break-ups is non-existent. This is despite research showing that only six friendships stand the test of time, which means that the average person experiences the ending of twenty-three friendships. As someone who has gone through a dozen of them, Michelle began to think she was a Bad Friend. Have one too many friendship break-ups and people start questioning what's wrong with you. But what if you aren't the problem? What if the problem is how we think about friendship break-ups? Introducing Bad Friend, a ground-breaking masterclass in friendship that makes space for every conversation you have never been allowed to have. Bad Friend will make you question everything you've been taught about friendships, and removes the stigma from friendship break-ups. This is for you if you've ever been hurt by a friend and, most importantly, reassures you that you're categorically not a bad friend. 'It's time for a new narrative around platonic love. I can think of no better person than Michelle to show us the way' MEGAN JAYNE CRABBE 'Female friendships can be core of a healthy, happy, fulfilled life. Their complexities are so often overlooked, but not anymore. Michelle Elman has perfectly summarised their complicated importance. Bravo' ANNA WHITEHOUSE 'The world would be a much better place if every woman read Bad Friend and learned to communicate as clearly and directly as Michelle teaches us to. A game-changer which made me feel a million times better about friendships that have gone wrong in the past, while arming me with the tools I need for the future' ELLIE MIDDLETON 'The guide to friendship breakups we all so desperately need. We've needed this book for years - I'm so happy it finally exists!' SOFIE HAGEN 'This book is a must-read for anyone who's ever questioned a friendship, felt the sting of outgrowing someone, or wondered how to be a better friend themselves' SHIVANI PAU 'This is a long overdue conversation about friendship: the joys, the break ups, the frustrations, and the tricky points of conflict that we all navigate over the course of time' ABIGAIL MANN 'Michelle's writing is my emergency contact - I always come away with pluck in my step and a plan of action' LEENA NORMS 'Michelle's ability to share her wisdom with wit, honesty, and heart - whilst tackling subjects often untouched - is a testament to her generosity and fearless spirit. With a wicked sense of humour, confidence and an uncanny ability to connect with people at every level, Michelle is truly one of a kind' MICHELLE ZELLI 'Michelle is the queen of boundaries' KATIE PIPER 'One of the 50 most influential women in the UK' THE SUN

Lacie’s Lessons In Dating
**Warning: Sexually Explicit Content**In 2017, I found myself living like so many other singles. Swiping through dating apps trying to find Mr. Right, but never taking the time to look within to see that I had not yet been transformed into Ms. Right. I had lived my entire life always wanting to do better, be better, and become better. Accepting myself for who I had always been was never an option for me. As I wrote this book, I strived to learn about men, dating, communication, and why I historically accepted treatment that was far less than what I deserved. Little by little I began to develop a sense of self-worth and self-love, both severely lacking at the start of my casual dating life. Little by little, I realized I was worth far more than I gave myself credit for. Little by little, I saw the widely accepted casual dating life was damaging me and those I interacted with. When I wrote this book, I hoped others would see a piece of themselves in me. I wanted this book to be a catalyst that sparked change in others. Little did I know, this first book would be the start of my own transformation into a Godly woman who would NEVER choose to live the life outlined on these pages, ever again! This book is the beginning of my story. The story of the woman I used to be.

They're not insane. They're insanely evil, terrifying calculated, utterly remorseless and masters of disguise.Surviving a Psychopath is a powerful resource for anyone who's questioned their reality, blamed themselves for another's cruelty, or wondered how to break free from the grip of a predator. Through real-life insights from both sides of the justice system, Droban arms readers with the knowledge and courage to recognize the manipulation before it's too late--and reclaim their lives after devastation.

Friends in Common
"I've been waiting for this book for years - a beautifully written, compelling study of the significance of the dense bonds of friendship in fostering and preserving progressive politics. A joyful, empowering read" - Lynne Segal, author of Lean on Me"A moving exploration of the importance and the difficulty of forging intimate relationships within capitalism" - Hannah Proctor, author of Burnout Friendship is full of revolutionary potential in the face of a profoundly anti-social capitalist system. Friends in Common explores friendship as a radical practice, capable of upending hierarchies and producing social change. Friendship can transcend social boundaries and political borders. It is vital in building communities and underpinning solidarity. But its transformative potency ensures that it is heavily policed and restrained by the state. Understanding the radical possibilities of friendship can help us rethink our approach to family, work and politics, and show us new routes to resistance and ways to open up spaces of solidarity and escape. Friends in Common shows that friendship as a political practice is foundational to strengthening revolutionary ideas and projects, and can be the antidote to capitalist despair. Laura C. Forster is a historian and writer based in Newcastle. She is a lecturer in Modern History at the University of York, and has written for Tribune, ROAR and DOPE. Joel White is a writer and researcher based in Glasgow. His writing has appeared in the Guardian, Wire and Tribune. He co-runs the record label GLARC.
The Answer Is in the Wound
"Lyrical and brutal, intimate and culturally relevant. I've never read anything like it."--Maggie SmithAn intimate, linked, lyrical essay collection focusing on the longer-lasting effects of trauma and PTSD on survivors--challenging a culture in which violence against women is normalized and illuminating the nonlinear, complex nature of recovery--from the acclaimed author of Goodbye, Sweet GirlAn affecting memoir-in-essays from the acclaimed author of Goodbye, Sweet Girl, The Answer Is in the Wound is a radical examination of the fractured, nonlinear nature of life after trauma. In this remarkable account of her own road to healing, Kelly Sundberg challenges a culture in which violence against women is normalized and writes against the implicit demand for survivors to "get over it."Kelly Sundberg's abusive marriage nearly broke her, and finding the courage to leave and begin the difficult process of putting herself back together was only the beginning of her story. Deeply courageous, The Answer Is in the Wound deftly explores the trials and joys Sundberg encountered not only as a newly single parent but also as someone in full pursuit of life. She developed an appreciation for new spiritual practices, reclaimed her body through tattoos, and even became "the problem" rather than going along to get along in her professional life. From erasure poetry crafted from emails and a court-mandated apology letter from her ex-husband, to engaging with the research of some of the most prominent voices in fifty years of trauma psychiatry and psychology --from Judith Herman and Peter A. Levine to Bessel van der Kolk--The Answer Is in the Wound is a profound meditation on trauma and its lasting effects.With the formal innovation and radical vulnerability of Carmen Maria Machado's In the Dream House and the cerebral precision of Leslie Jamison's The Empathy Exams, Sundberg's breathtaking collection offers a redemptive arc for trauma survivors and vital insight into what makes healing possible.

Behind Closed Doors
It all began when news broke of the 796 babies who died at the 'Bon Secours Mother & Baby Home' in Tuam, Galway. It didn't stop there, the stories that began to unfold were heartbreaking to say the least. I already knew of the 'Magdalene Laundries' which were bad enough, that led me to the movie 'Philomena' which then took me to 'Sean Ross Abbey Mother & Baby Home' in Roscrea, Tipperary. Just when I thought I heard it all I came home to the news of 'Smyllum Park Orphanage' seven miles from my own home, yet the list goes on. What really happened behind closed doors? Most importantly what made the church & state think that they could get away with lies, abuse, rape, falsifying documents & the illegal adoption of thousands of children?
Trips and Journeys
GUILT TRIPBack in the '60s, two high school juniors' plan to have fun and raise hell leads them into conflict with the new principal and ultimately led to the deaths of four people. Forty years later, Andy Miller, a successful, philanthropic attorney, has devoted his life to atoning for his youthful mistakes. When he receives an invitation to his 40th High School Reunion, does he dare go back and face his past?THE JOURNEYMama and I set out on a train trip to Daddy's funeral because, at the time, she was afraid to fly, but the journey turned into more than a train ride. It was a journey back in time, revealing family history, secrets, laughter, tears, courage, and triumph in the journey of life.MISSYBorn to an alcoholic, drug addict, raised by uncaring foster parents, subjected to ritual abuse at school, married to a drug dealer and child molester, abused by her beloved son, Missy expects the worst from life and she gets it.SUGARHer AKC name was Kay Dee's Bubblin' Brown Sugar, but after she became a part of our family, she was known as Sugar Brunn. This five-pound Yorkshire terrier brought me so much joy and taught me many lessons. She never knew she was tiny, and she never gave up. She never knew that it was anything special to constantly escape the jaws of death. Like the proverbial cat, she truly lived nine lives.ISRAELIt was Thanksgiving when we got the news, and although we went through the motions of Thanksgiving dinner, it was hard to get into the spirit of it. As Carrie said, "I have nothing to be thankful for." Our friend Israel was dead. It was so hard to believe. How could someone so full of life be dead? And yet there were things to be thankful for. We could be thankful that we knew him and that for six years he enriched our lives. Israel was outrageous, crazy, and exasperating, but he was also friendly, loving, and generous. He had more chutzpah than anyone I've ever known, but he also had more charisma.
