Kann man sich verlieben, obwohl man es nicht möchte und genau weiß, dass die Person einen nie zurück lieben wird? Wer diese Frage mit "Ja" beantworten kann, weiß aus Erfahrung, wie sich ein Herz anfühlt, das vor Liebe überläuft, aber niemanden hat, der es auffüllt, wenn es sich leert. Liebe ist stark, sie ist schön und mitreißend. Nur kann sie einen in etwas reißen, aus dem man sich selbst wieder retten muss. Ein gebrochenes Herz. Es heilt mit der Zeit nur sehen und fühlen wir dies meist nicht, doch es passiert. Wunden heilen, Schmerz verblasst und Ruhe klopft an deine Tür. Dieses Buch widmet sich dem Gefühl von Liebe für eine Person, die man niemals hätte lieben sollen und doch geschieht es, denn Herzen sind resistent gegen rationale Gedanken. Gedichte halten die Schönheit und Unverständlichkeit aller Gefühle fest, weswegen dieses Buch als Ganzes ein Spiegel für jeden ist, der liebt, ohne den Sinn dahinter zu suchen, zu leiden und zu heilen, als hätte es Wunden nie gegeben. Für dich.

Life I never quite understood the purpose of it all. The highs, the lows, and the in-betweens. If you have fallen into a black hole, how do you climb out? When the lows overshadow the highs. When the once bright sun sets and doesn't rise? When you have lost so much, you're struggling to count your blessings. When you wonder why it happened to you out of eight billion people. When your heart has burned to ashes. Filled with poetry and short stories, this book explores the psyche of a young girl struggling with mental health issues after descending into the hell of loss and trauma, yet longing to rise from the ashes.

'Facets Faces' is about breaking forced silence and speaking openly about grief, weaknesses, fears, and hopelessness while lying sleepless in bed at night. It is about truths young adults must learn while growing up and the beauty that affects our everyday lives. With her poetry, the author wants to convey to her readers that it is okay to be yourself as long as you are authentic and that life presents us all with challenges. But most importantly, she wants to reach those who feel they are not being heard.

Damaged. Broken. Destroyed. I’ve heard it all. A single moment of trusting the wrong person shattered my life into pieces, and my family has never looked at me the same. It’s impossible to convince them that I’m anything more than the broken girl they rescued all those years ago. Until I meet him. Ramsey’s grumpy demeanor and menacing scowl scare most of the world away. But not me. Not when I’ve seen his gentle hands soothe an abused colt or comfort a terrified mare. And when I finally get up the courage to strike out on my own, Ramsey’s there. Roommates felt like such a safe proposition until Ramsey’s lingering touches and wicked smile light a fire in me I don’t think will ever be extinguished. And he feels it, too… But just as my new life begins to take root, an evil from my past emerges from the shadows, casting a darkness on my newfound freedom. And this time, they won’t settle for pieces of me. They want everything…

Women’s lives are often written on our bodies. Yet very little is made of the impacts of embodiment for women in literacy education, both learners and professionals. This volume presents the writings of 26 contributors—teachers, students, and administrators—who examine the rich terrain of personal and professional experiences related to whole person engagement in learning and teaching. These writings provide a compass to guide readers through the bodily landscapes, mindful flights, willful spirits, and emotional embraces. Written with the same desire to open minds, hearts and practices to new understanding, this book builds on the successful style of Empowering Women through Literacy (2009). This new volume appeals to all readers, as the essays, poems, and investigations woven through its pages challenge us to consider the embodyment of women’s learning. Join us on the journey as we travel across many arenas and discover significant ways to comprehend and support best practices in teaching and learning, especially for women.

New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith turns to realistic fiction with the thoughtful story of a Native teen navigating the complicated, confusing waters of high school — and first love. When Louise Wolfe’s first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It’s her senior year, anyway, and she’d rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper’s staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director’s inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students — especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou’s little brother, who’s playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey — but as she’s learned, “dating while Native” can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joey’s?

Everything you know about alcohol is a lie. Dustin Dunbar had it all. A beautiful wife, two sweet baby girls, a degree in psychology, and properties around the world—the building blocks of a nascent real estate empire. All the while, he happily believed every lie alcohol told him: “Real men drink.” “One drink won’t kill you.” “You’re the life of the party.” “You can’t stop.” He believed these lies and many others until it was too late. Because of his addiction, he risked everything he valued most and nearly lost everyone he cared for—until he started to figure out that most of what we experience with alcohol is completely fabricated, a big lie packaged with bright lights and big names to distract us from the truth. Dunbar calls this non-reality “the alcohol matrix,” and it took him years to break out of it and finally start enjoying a life free of alcohol addiction. Just as Holly Whitaker offered women a radical path to sobriety in her New York Times bestselling Quit Like a Woman, Dunbar combines his own experiences with his extensive background in psychology to expose the lies we all too willingly accept about alcohol and interrogates the part culture plays in reinforcing these lies, particularly for men—and shows readers how they too can break free from alcohol addiction. An inspiring, hilarious, and much-needed approach to addiction and self-acceptance, You’re Doing Great!: Debunks the myth that alcohol washes away the pain.Explains the toll alcohol takes on our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.Illustrates the steps to deal with our problems head-on.Exposes the practices used by advertisers and marketers to entrap us to drink.Proves that AA isn’t the only option for battling alcohol addiction.Teaches readers to activate skills of self-empowerment.Shows us how to enjoy an alcohol-free consciousness and an exciting new chapter in our lives. Filled with entertaining true-life tales, hard-earned wisdom, and easy-to-follow advice for recognizing the truth about alcohol, You’re Doing Great! is a powerful invitation to discover the real you that thrives on the other side of addiction.
