A young, vital woman is diagnosed with cancer, and after a prolonged battle that leaves her with a number of unresolved issues and an inability to accept her own mortality, her body passes. Her spirit, however, has other ideas. For over a year, she clings to this mortal plane, hanging on tight to the sister she loves, invading her room at night and refusing to move on. Release me is the true story of that sister’s experiences: her childhood and family relationships, the bond she shared with her sister, both before and during her illness, and the confusing and conflicting time spent in her sister’s company after her passing. Seeking knowledge and guidance in her late father’s example, and from the books he left in her care, she struggles to come to grips with what needs to be done, for her own spiritual growth and for that of her beloved sister.

In the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, The Writing Movement at Bronx Hope began with a group of non-secure placement students. These students were equipped with Writers' Notebooks and they learned why it is important to write for the rest of their lives. All of the writings that are in this book were written by the students and staff members who participated in our writing sessions. This is the very first published anthology from Passages Academy- Bronx Hope.

This is not a game . . . this is life! From the day she discovered she had a voice that could touch millions, Olivia Longott put in long, hard hours in the studio, trying to achieve her dreams of R&B superstardom. With such royal talents, she fully deserved the title she was given as First Lady of J, the legendary Clive Davis's label, and then First Lady of G-Unit, when she landed a second deal with G Unit/Interscope Records. Olivia quickly made it clear that she is nobody's number two. With dual recording deals in hand, Olivia thought her dream had manifested—until she left both labels in what felt like a nightmare. Being the fighter her daddy taught her to be, Olivia would not let these challenges hold her back from the industry. Instead, she used the experiences as a setup for something new. The world saw her jump back into the ring swinging on the Love & Hip Hop reality show. Sometimes, though, reality isn't always what it seems. That's why Olivia has taken the time to sit down and pen what it truly is. During her unfolding journey in the music industry, Olivia has seen, heard, and experienced a lot. Now it's time to bring you into her world.

I knew I had to help Brynn Holliday the moment I saw her restrained to her bed in a cell at the Meadowlake Institute, writhing in pain, and unable to achieve the release she desperately needed. What I didn't know, however, was how much I needed her. To own her. To possess her. To make every wild and dangerous desire of hers come true. She provokes the dominant in me I thought I buried years ago. The havoc she causes in my life is more than I've ever let one of my submissives get away with in the past, but Brynn is nothing like any of the submissives I've had before. She's tenacious. She's formidable. She's spirited. She's everything I never knew I needed. And she's all mine.

Release Me is a book written from the perspective of a mother (rather than as an educator) over the course of the ten-year drug addiction of her older son, Tyler, and prior to his accidental heroin/Xanax death on 1-30-14. The book consists of a series of letters that Vicky writes to Tyler as well as some to her younger son, Seth, in response to the events that occurred as a result of Tylers drug usage. Tyler was an artist from a very early age (around three), and so the book consists of several letters written by him, his drawings that depict how he felt, including being guilt-ridden and shamed, as well as some photographs. The book also includes some letters written by teachers and camp kids (to whom Tyler was a counselor) with the hope that readers will understand that this deceased young man was a lot more than just an addict. He was an artist who thought and cared deeply for others and was intelligent, creative, and sensitive. He was also tortured and crippled mentally, emotionally, and physically by his depression and anxiety, which led to his self-medication and, ultimately, his addiction and death. Vickys passion in life is to help other children/families as a teacher and school psychologist, so her letters describe her feelings about Tyler bringing the dark world into the family as well as her inability to fix Tyler and his problems. One of the other important points about Release Me is that Tyler came from a good family with two working parents who care deeply about him and his brother. Addiction, particularly opiate addiction, impacts people of all ages and in any socioeconomic and educational level. Vicky is attempting, by writing this book, to help other people/families with addiction.
