Yesterday and Today (Saranormal #11)
by Phoebe RiversIn the conclusion to the Saranormal series, Sara discovers the connections between the past, the present, and her powers. Sara was absolutely thrilled to find the diary that her mother left hidden away so long ago--but she's quickly disappointed by what she reads. She learns that her mother had paranormal powers too, and she hated them so much that she somehow managed to get rid of them. How did she do that? And is that the secret message she has for Sara? Will there ever be a way for them to communicate? Meanwhile, Sara's crush, Mason, seems to like her back, but he doesn't want anyone else to know they're hanging out. Especially not after a rumor gets started about Sara and her paranormal powers. Sara doesn't care anymore what other people think--but Mason does, and that's a problem. When Mason begins to fear that his association with Sara will somehow cause his own paranormal secret to be revealed, Sara has to decide: Will she stand up for who she is, even if it means losing the boy she likes so much?

Yesterday's Child
by Sonia Levitin"Time will help. That's what people promised. But for Laura, nothing is helping or healing. Her mother's death has left a void in her. It's made Laura realize she hardly knew her mother, and that can never be fixed. So Laura lies in her mother's bed, puts on her lipstick, reads her letters-anything to answer Laura's questions and end her unbearable loneliness. Then Laura finds a letter that raises more questions than it answers. Written the day before her mother's death, it's addressed to someone named Megan and speaks vaguely of "forgiveness." Laura's never heard of Megan, but Megan and Laura's mother appear to have been childhood friends who hadn't spoken in twenty-five years. What would prompt her mother to write Megan now? And what did she mean by "forgiveness"? If Laura can unveil the mystery behind this letter, maybe she'll also unveil the mystery that was-and still is-her mother. But Laura's search for answers becomes an obsession. Laura can't stop, not until she knows the truth about everything-even if it kills her.

Pero también parte del proceso que los llevó a honrar su memoria a través de una fundación que sirviera a otros. A partir del testimonio de su dura experiencia, quieren compartir una reflexión: preocuparse de los niños, tomar conciencia de que a veces, tras una aparente normalidad, los chicos sufren en silencio. Nuevos fenómenos como el acoso cibernético son más grandes y graves de lo que creemos, y la invitación es a aprender y crecer sin convertirse en víctima. Yo elijo salvar es un compromiso por la vida y por la unión familiar que transmite un mensaje de resiliencia, solidaridad y empatía.
