During this time she discovers love eternal. CJ Kristen is Head of the Business Economics Faculty at Hillfield College, a school which has been through difficult times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth book and final instalment in Bella Christian’s compelling new series, This is Where it Ends… On the surface, fourteen-year-old Veronica Blackwood has it all. She’s the only child of Wheeler’s glamor couple. Her mother comes from old money. Her father is a hotshot lawyer. He’s also the mayor of Wheeler. Smart, slim and beautiful, Veronica is the most popular girl at Wheeler High. All the other girls wish they could be her. The boys look at her with longing. She loves every second of the attention. In fact, she craves it. Somehow it helps to replace the lack of attention she receives at home… And so what if she amuses herself at the expense of others? The occasional mean comment to a loser doesn’t make her a bully. Jessie Angel is weak. She ought to toughen up. It’s her own fault she’s become a frequent target. Then Jessie Angel kills herself and Veronica is put into a spin. Not because she’s shocked by what Jessie has done, or even mourns the girl’s demise. No, it’s because all of a sudden the kids at Wheeler High are looking at her differently…many with accusation in their eyes. It’s not her fault Jessie Angel shot herself in the head! It’s not fair to be blamed for the stupid girl’s death. Veronica might have teased and tormented Jessie every now and then, but that was just a bit of fun. How was she to know Jessie Angel had taken it all so seriously? Honestly, the kids at Wheeler High need to wake up to themselves and lay the blame for Jessie’s death where it really lies… At Jessie Angel’s feet. As far as Veronica’s concerned, if Jessie was that weak, good riddance. Surely it’s only a matter of time before the rest of Wheeler High see that? Isn’t it...?
Download or read book Friendly Fire written by Patrick Gale and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At an elite English boarding school in the late 1970s, an orphaned fourteen-year-old girl falls in love with two boys—one of them gay—in this coming-of-age novel The town orphanage has been Sophie Cullen’s only home since she was five years old. She knows not whether her parents are living or dead, and has no memory of her life before Wakefield House. No one is more surprised than Sophie when she wins the last scholarship to an exclusive boarding school. Tatham’s was founded in the fourteenth century, and it is only the rare female scholar who gains entry. Even with the girls outnumbered twenty-five to one, Sophie only has eyes for upperclassman Lucas Behrman. Until she sees him kissing a boy. Then she meets Charlie Somborne-Abbot, whose life is shadowed by scandal. And solid, dependable Will Franks, who gives her her first kiss. But her education is just beginning. It will take a fall from grace and a devastating tragedy for Sophie to discover who she is and find her true place in the world. From the author of the bestselling Notes from an Exhibition, Friendly Fire is a wise and affecting chronicle of the painful angst of adolescence. A novel about friendship, family, and love, it explores the intransigence of beauty, the ephemerality of youth, the exhilaration of learning, and that most British of all preoccupations: class.

After being whisked away from Rosewood because of a threat on her life by terrorists—the bad guys her father is working hard to eradicate—she finds herself back in London. Now she has no friends, no boyfriend and is basically under house arrest courtesy of her father. But he’s just trying to keep her safe now that the unforgiving press splashed her picture all over the tabloids after seeing her with the famous Declan, known as ‘the Dashing Duke.’ Brooklyn has gone from being on the cusp of having it all to having the life of a hermit. Trying to make the best of things, she uses her Christmas gift from her parents—a Moleskine notebook—to start writing, and even finds an intriguing subject to write about: the strange man who sits outside her window for hours at a time. As she creates his fictional story in her room at night, she starts to discover the real one by day. But as life begins to imitate art (or is it the other way around?), Brooklyn realizes she is in way too deep with this guy. And what about the boys she left back at Rosewood? Will she ever see them again? More importantly, will they ever be able to forgive her for what she did?

Book Synopsis To An Untrained Mind by : Robert N Stephenson
Download or read book To An Untrained Mind written by Robert N Stephenson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To An Untrained Mind is a collection of short stories, poems and articles by Robert N Stephenson. These are works written over a 20 year period and have never before been seen, or published. These are imperfect appearances, there are faults with them all, from spellings to typos, from accidents in science and the limitations of knowledge. This book was not created to wow the reader with its prowess but more created to warehouse decades of material. If you have a copy, then you do indeed have a rare bird. Like the old Saab's Robert loves to own and drive, this book is also limited. Severe mental illness has distorted some visions and limited some expressions but never let you be controlled by such conditions, rather take control of them and thrive. The cover for this volume of imperfections is by the incomparable Conny Valentina and inside the image is another story. Rejoice in discovery, and forgive in measure.

Born a year apart, Connie and Samuel Johnson have always been close. Faced with the devastating news that they would soon be separated forever, they made a decision. After already surviving cancer twice in her young life, at 33 Connie was diagnosed with breast cancer. But this time it was a whole different ball game. This time she was told she will die, leaving behind her two sons. As a young mum faced with her own death, Connie wanted to make it all less meaningless, and she knew just the way to do it - send her brother, Sam, on a one-wheeled odyssey around Australia. The aims: to break the world record for the longest distance travelled on a unicycle. To raise $1 million for the Garvan Research Foundation. And, most importantly, to remind women to be breast aware and stop others having to say goodbye to those they love. Their message is simple: 'Don't fall into the booby trap.' Samuel has travelled through every state and ridden more than 150,000 kilometres to raise awareness and raise research dollars. But Connie had a secret fourth aim: to fix Samuel. And it worked. Sam cleared his diary, cleaned himself up and tenaciously kept his promise to his dying sister. For them the job isn't over. They are determined to raise more money for research. Connie vows to fight until her dying day and Sam says the fight will go on long after that. These two remarkable Australians share their tale, from childhood through to the finish line and beyond in this truly unique story.
