The longer she stays in town, the stranger things become, as Calla starts to experience unusual and unsettling events that lead her to wonder whether she has inherited her grandmother's unique gift. Is it this gift that is making her suspect that her mother's death was more than an accident, or is it just an overactive imagination? Staying in Lily Dale is the only way to uncover the truth. But will Calla be able to deal with what she learns about her mother's past and her own future?
Awakened by Autism: A Journey Of Embracing Autism, Self, And Hope For A New World
by Andrea LibuttiAndrea Libutti began the work of reconstructing herself after her oldest son was diagnosed with severe autism several years ago. Distraught and seemingly hopeless at the time, a series of unfolding events moved her from sleepwalking through life toward a personal journey of inner transformation. She immersed herself in research surrounding the causes and treatments for autism, and after several years of learning she has come to understand the disorder from a physical, emotional, and spiritual perspective.In Awakened by Autism, Andrea shares her journey and the knowledge she has gained along the way. She believes that the masses of children diagnosed today with autism are here to teach us some important lessons about the world we have created. Humanity has gotten off track-often motivated by profit-leaving our bodies and our planet overburdened with toxins, and our families exhausted, stressed, and broken. It is for these very reasons that autism has emerged as an epidemic and a calling for humanity to wake up. We cannot continue to deplete our planet and our souls and still expect our children to thrive. Awakened by Autism is both a memoir and a practical guide for healing our children-and a starting point for healing our planet.

Awake at 3 a.m.: Yoga Therapy for Anxiety and Depression in Pregnancy and Early Motherhood
by Suzannah NeufeldPregnancy and new motherhood are often thought of as the most joyful, exciting, and blissful times in your life––but they can also be difficult and overwhelming. Yoga therapy offers practical mind-body tools (simple breath, movement, and mindfulness practices) to support you and provide solace, steadiness, and ease in difficult times. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are the number one “complication” of birth. They affect not just moms who suffer, but also the families who care about and rely on those moms. More than twice as many moms suffer from PMADs as gestational diabetes. Yet while robust support and treatment options exist for diabetes, moms who suffer emotionally are rarely acknowledged. Instead of receiving help, they are handed platitudes like “Sleep when the baby sleeps,” “Let go of stress because it’s bad for the baby,” or “Just enjoy every minute because it goes by so fast.” This can be a lonely and confusing place to be—suffering profound fear or sadness at a time when your friends and family expect you to be happy, radiant, and beatifically calm.As a therapist supporting women's mental health and those recovering from perinatal mood disorders and trauma since 2003, Suzannah Neufeld is keenly aware of the special needs of women during pregnancy and the first year of motherhood. Synthesizing modern psychotherapeutic research with practical yoga therapy, Neufeld offers a compassionate, acceptance-based approach that meets women (and their partners) wherever they are. Awake at 3 a.m. contains short, digestible chapters that are perfect for when you are feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. Neufeld skillfully dismantles the myths and internal beliefs that contribute to the suffering of new mothers, and tells her own story with honesty and humor. The yoga practices are designed to fit into your life as it is now––no flexibility, mat, special clothes, or 90-minute yoga class required.

Avrebbe potuto essere
by A. K. FraileyIntroduzione Scrivere racconti è stato il miglior esercizio di scrittura che avrei mai potuto immaginare. Ho imparato di più lottando con i miei personaggi e le loro caratteristiche che da qualsiasi manuale, lezione, o consiglio amichevole incontrato lungo il mio viaggio nella scrittura. Stranamente, ho dovuto disimparare qualche brutta abitudine. La prima delle quali era aggrapparmi al concetto ridicolo che sapevo quello che stavo facendo. Ho dovuto accettare il fatto che i miei personaggi erano abbastanza abili da raccontare una buona storia per conto loro, se solo mi fossi tolta dai piedi. La seconda era quella di tacere circa due paragrafi prima che avessi finito. La consapevolezza che al lettore non interessano veramente tutti i dettagli (che spiegano perché, per esempio, zia Sarah è una svitata), ma si concentra piuttosto solo sulla storia che sto realmente raccontando, ha portato la mia proverbiale penna in territori meravigliosi e terrificanti. Improvvisamente, non c’erano più parole dietro cui nascondersi. Il significato era ciò che importava. Una straziante realtà e un’intuizione penetrante marciarono sulla pagina e reclamarono il proprio ruolo nel gioco. Spesso ho sussultato all’impatto con una storia che non sapevo di avere dentro di me. Forse non lo era. Forse me la portavo sulle spalle ed è piombata sulla pagina quando ho iniziato a battere sulla tastiera. Così mi sentivo gran parte dei giorni… Chi sei? Sono una storia che sta cercando di essere raccontata. Ti DISPIACE? Oh, no, certo che no. Non preoccuparti. Scriverò con solo un paio di dita mentre mangio questi deliziosi (e nutrienti) M&M’s con le noccioline e sto a guardare. D’accordo. Tu pensa a te stessa. Solo stai FUORI dai piedi, capisci? Piuttosto pietoso essere intimidita dalla mia stessa storia. Ma diamine, fanno loro tutto il lavoro e io mi bec

Avenging The Owl
by Melissa HartA long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Han Solo avenged the destruction of an innocent planet by helping Luke Skywalker blow up the Death Star. Han walked away with a gold medal and the love of his life. But when Solo Hahn—named in honor of the beloved action hero—tries to avenge the death of his gray-and-white kitten, he gets eight months of community service. Eight months of working at the local raptor center helping owls—his now sworn enemies. <P><P> For the first time in his life, Solo is labeled a troubled kid, an at-risk youth. He’d always gotten good grades, had good friends, and gotten along with his parents. He used to volunteer to read Reader’s Digest to old people at the retirement home next door, and his favorite thing in the whole wide world was to surf. He wrote screenplays for fun. But when his parents uproot him and move the family from California to backwoods Oregon, Solo starts to lose track of the person he was. Everything is upside down, and he finds himself dealing with things way beyond his understanding. He’s the new kid in town, and he’s got a bad reputation. The question is: What will he do next? <P><P> This is a story about staying true to yourself when things get tough. Solo has every reason to lash out, but he ultimately needs to find a way to cope. Avenging the Owl deals with the difficult issues of suicide and depression, but more than anything it captures the powerlessness of being a kid. It won’t be easy, but the wild beauty of Oregon, its cold, empty beaches and captivating wildlife, may be just what Solo and his family need to help them start over.

Aven Green Sleuthing Machine (Aven Green Series)
by Gina Perry Dusti BowlingThird-grader Aven Green has been solving mysteries for a really long time—a whole month! She’s solved many important cases like The Mystery of the Cranky Mom, The Mystery of the Missing Ice Cream, and The Mystery of the Smelly Feet. Her record is nearly 100% (only The Mystery of the Cereal in My Underpants remains unsolved to this day). Aven asks all the right questions, wields her detective kit carefully, and follows up on every clue. Then her teacher’s lunch bag (with her lunch still in it) is taken and Aven’s great-grandma’s beloved dog goes missing! Can this perceptive detective crack two cases at the same time? Luckily, Aven has a super-powered brain full of lots of extra brain cells to take on both cases. See, she was born without arms, so all of the cells that were supposed to make her arms went into making her brain instead. At least that’s her working theory for The Mystery of Why I Have So Many Extra Brain Cells.
