Synopsis I Want to Live, Not Just Survive by : Anna Gray
'I want to live, not just survive' takes you on Anna's journey, of taking back control of her life. In 2015 the priority had been on her health but in 2016 the priorities were switched; from focusing on her health, to living life to the full and cramming in as much fun as possible. She goes on breaks away and fits in her hospital appointments around them and she begins to look forward to a better, more balanced life. She ticks off many things on her bucket list and she literally spends half of the year travelling away from home, on various trips both home and abroad. She takes as many holidays as she can, doing as much as her body would allow and then some. 2016 proved to be an amazing year for Anna; we see how the love of her family and friends has such a positive effect on her and enables her to fulfill her dream of travelling. She is still battling with her health but she is always aiming for it not to consume her; it was important for her to shift her focus, she didn't want to be seen as the 'sick person' who couldn't do anything. 'I want to live, not just survive' shows how, even with significant illness and disability, you can still achieve, you can still live your life and enjoy all that it brings. Reading this book will make you want to experience new things, to travel to different places and fill your life with as much enjoyment as possible, irrespective of your ability. Reviews from Amazon, for the first book in the series, 'You are my sunshine.' 'A truly inspirational read, that illustrates a person's suffering, trials and tribulations but still leaves you at the end of the book with a positive outlook on life, and feeling anything is achievable.''Very inspirational great reading. Couldn't put the book down.cant wait for the follow up book. Hope Anna is doing good.''Inspirational read by Anna. Written with obvious passion for her family and friends who are helping her through her illness. Complete insight to how she is coping with her illness and the accomplishments she has achieved whilst fighting this battle. Remarkable lady!''Anna's bravery and determination to beat her condition is inspirational!As a nurse and a mum I related with everything she said about her experiences and worry for her children! An amazing book and a must read. I will be expecting any student nurse who passes under me to read this and will highly recommend it as it gives all perspectives.God bless Anna and the kids. Hoping for a happy ever after. 'Reviews from Amazon, for the second book in the series, 'Learning to dance in the rain''I couldn't wait to read the second book, just hoping it was as good as the first. Well it truly was, yet another moving and inspirational story of one womans battle, how she adjusts to a different life and finds strength not only from herself but from her amazing children. Her story shows how you can find positives in every situation, she certainly did learn to dance in the rain!!!''I read this book in 2 days. An excellent follow on story of her battle of recovery after major surgery. Anna is an inspiration and her determination to remain positive even when she felt so poorly, continue with her studies, travel and be a role model to her children makes for a great read. Well done Anna Gray, I look forward to reading the next book.''A great sequel to the fabulous You Are My Sunshine. Anna Gray is inspiring and humorous and writes with honesty and grit about her fight back to health. Can't wait for Part 3!'

Synopsis We Want to Do More Than Survive by : Bettina L. Love
Winner of the 2020 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award Drawing on personal stories, research, and historical events, an esteemed educator offers a vision of educational justice inspired by the rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists. Drawing on her life’s work of teaching and researching in urban schools, Bettina Love persuasively argues that educators must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make sustainable change in their communities through radical civic initiatives and movements. She argues that the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. Instead of trying to repair a flawed system, educational reformers offer survival tactics in the forms of test-taking skills, acronyms, grit labs, and character education, which Love calls the educational survival complex. To dismantle the educational survival complex and to achieve educational freedom—not merely reform—teachers, parents, and community leaders must approach education with the imagination, determination, boldness, and urgency of an abolitionist. Following in the tradition of activists like Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, and Fannie Lou Hamer, We Want to Do More Than Survive introduces an alternative to traditional modes of educational reform and expands our ideas of civic engagement and intersectional justice.

Synopsis Thrive, Not Just Survive by : J. Chad Barrett
How does one handle hardship? What does it look like to persevere through a painful trial, especially if that trial never leaves? And how can a man who is riddled with anxiety and depression endure the suffering of watching his young daughter battle a terminal childhood cancer and unable to do anything about it?This book tackles several issues including anxiety and depression, overcoming bitterness, learning how to persevere, and how to deal with fear, shame, and guilt. The story includes Kristina, the 8-year-old daughter of Chad and Melissa Barrett, who was diagnosed with Clear Cell Sarcoma and battled it for four years. But this book isn't really about Kristina.This story also includes Chad, who had struggled with anxiety and depression for several years when he and his wife, Melissa, got the dreadful phone call that their daughter has cancer. But this isn't really about Chad, either.This true story is about the God-man, Jesus, who showed up in the midst of this storm. Instead of delivering the main characters from their plight, Jesus did something counterintuitive to us, humans. He led them deeper into the storm and showed His power. Written mostly in story form, his book is proof that the grace of Jesus is sufficient even for a parent's worst nightmare. It's sufficient to take a human, with all his flaws of shame, fear, and guilt, riddled with anxiety and depression, and then the grief from the death of his child, and bring him past the point of surviving into the realm of thriving.Only God can do that. He can do that for you, too, and this book will show you how.

Synopsis How to Survive Your Childhood Now That You’re an Adult by : Ira Israel
As children, we learned to get approval by creating facades to help us get our emotional and psychological needs met, but we also rebelled against authority as a way of individuating. As adults, these conflicting desires leave many of us feeling anxious or depressed because our authentic selves are buried deep beneath glitzy or rebellious exteriors or some combination thereof. In this provocative book, eclectic teacher and therapist Ira Israel offers a powerful, comprehensive, step-by-step path to recognizing the ways of being that we created as children and transcending them with compassion and acceptance. By doing so, we discover our true callings and cultivate the authentic love we were born deserving.

Synopsis A Resilient Life by : Otr Kat Elton
Too often, people faced with a disease such as rheumatoid arthritis hear words like, "disabling," "progressive," or "tragic." "Tragic" may be what people are saying but the real tragedy is that these often repeated words do nothing but harm to those who hear them. They completely ignore a very real truth: physical issues can absolutely lead to positive transformation, action, challenge, inner strength, deep courage, and compassion. This unique book is written by someone who knows her subject well. Kat Elton, an occupational therapist and woman who's had rheumatoid arthritis since age two, knows that people with RA don't need false hope or to be told what to do. What they do need is to be led toward believing in themselves and improving their reality no matter what it is. Part practical guide, part workbook, part memoir, this book demonstrates that although there is no magic bullet or cure for rheumatoid arthritis, there is a way to live well with this disease.

Synopsis In The Shadow Of The Banyan by : Vaddey Ratner
A stunning, powerful debut novel set against the backdrop of the Cambodian War, perfect for fans of Chris Cleave and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie For seven-year-old Raami, the shattering end of childhood begins with the footsteps of her father returning home in the early dawn hours bringing details of the civil war that has overwhelmed the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. Displaying the author's extraordinary gift for language, In the Shadow of the Banyanis testament to the transcendent power of narrative and a brilliantly wrought tale of human resilience. 'In the Shadow of the Banyanis one of the most extraordinary and beautiful acts of storytelling I have ever encountered' Chris Cleave, author of The Other Hand 'Ratner is a fearless writer, and the novel explores important themes such as power, the relationship between love and guilt, and class. Most remarkably, it depicts the lives of characters forced to live in extreme circumstances, and investigates how that changes them. To read In the Shadow of the Banyan is to be left with a profound sense of being witness to a tragedy of history' Guardian 'This is an extraordinary debut … as beautiful as it is heartbreaking' Mail on Sunday

Synopsis Beautiful Carcass by : Pakhi
A broken heart still loves unconditionally. Even though it gets cautious, it never runs out of love. A broken smile still tries to reassure everyone that everything is fine. Even though your mind is in pieces, it never lets those feelings of being lost and hurt through. A broken home still hopes that it will all be okay. Even though times are tough and there is no one around, it never gets too cold in those times when you are somewhere between a broken place and your safe haven. A broken soul still heals, given time. Even though it tests your patience, it never stops you from your redemption. Beautiful Carcass is a collection of coming-of-age poems. It is a reminiscence of a young girl as she sees a few faces of love, how she has her heart and soul broken, and how she eventually picks herself up again and creates a warrior out of the broken pieces to fight battles with the ugly side of life. It is the journey of acceptance of an innocent mind that not everything is unicorns and rainbows, but it is okay. Not everything has to be.
