If I had my way, we'd go on avoiding each other for the rest of our lives, but again, the universe is conspiring against me. Rhys is the captain of the fencing team, and I'm the new manager.

And in return, I show him what it means to truly be cared for.But I have a feeling Rhys is hiding something. That his motives might not be what they seem.I've never wanted to be wrong about anything more than I do about these nagging suspicions.Because if I'm right, then there's nothing but heartbreak waiting for me.

Nineteen
For fans of Stephanie Thornton-Plymale's American Daughter and Cea Sunrise Person's North of Normal comes Leslie Johansen Nack's emotional follow-up memoir about her battle with addiction following a traumatic childhood--and her inspiring journey toward healing and happiness. In the mid-1970s, Leslie Nack's family returned from sailing to French Polynesia and began the integration process into American life again, which included being tossed back and forth between an alcoholic, mentally ill mother and an abusive, overbearing father. To find love and acceptance, Leslie chases a myth that throws her into the path of nefarious older men, where she eventually falls into drug and alcohol addiction. Her father dies in his plane in the jungles of Mexico when Leslie is nineteen, but his abuse lingers in her psyche. She spirals, her only solace her next fix--until, somehow, she finds the grace, despite her abjectly dysfunctional family background, to believe in her worth. This newfound self-love changes everything for her, and finally she is able to find her way to sobriety and recovery. Raw and intense but ultimately hopeful, this sequel to the popular memoir Fourteen tells the rest of Nack's turbulent--and incredible--story.
Such a Pretty Picture
For readers of I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy and The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, a candid and heart-wrenching memoir about child abuse, family secrets, and the healing that begins once the truth is revealed and the past is confronted. Andrea is four and a half the first time her father, David, gives her a bath. Although she is young, she knows there is something strange about the way he is touching her. When her mother, Marlene, walks in to check on them, she howls and crumples to the floor--and when she opens her eyes, she is blind. Marlene's hysterical blindness lasts for weeks, but her willful blindness lasts decades. The abuse continues, and Andrea spends a childhood living with a secret she can't tell and a shame she is too afraid to name. Despite it, she survives. She builds a life and tells herself she is fine. But at age thirty-three, an unwanted grope on a New York City subway triggers her past. Suddenly unable to remember how to forget, Andrea is forced to confront her past--and finally begin to heal. This brave debut offers honest insight into a survivor's journey. Readers will feel Andrea's pain, her fear, and her shame--yet they will also feel her hope. And like Andrea, they will come to understand an important truth: though healing is complicated, it is possible to find joy and even grace in the wake of the most profound betrayals.

All members of the community shall originate from this one great family by birth or by marriage into the family as they become part of the community. The basis of the community's culture is upholding the guiding principles that will help its families live a positive life, while at the same time excluding undesirable practices.The Carnegie A1 community has many benefits because of its leadership structure, composition and mode of becoming a leader in the community.

What if it's possible to learn how to live with another person in a way that makes every day feel like an exciting, joyful adventure-where love only grows deeper and stronger over time? Some say relationship problems stem from a lack of love. We believe the opposite is true: it's precisely because of love, vulnerability, and closeness that old wounds rise to the surface.

This book contains that priceless knowledge. It gives you the tools to create a passionate, safe, and deeply harmonious relationship-one that continues to grow and blossom every single day.
