At school, on social media, even texts to Jessie’s phone… There’s no escape from Veronica’s maliciousness and there’s no one Jessie can turn to. Her mother, Belinda, is a recovering alcoholic. Though she cares for Jessie, she has her own battles to fight. Her father, Ryan, is the local police sergeant. He’s kind and gentle and loves her, but as the only cop in Wheeler, he’s busy and distracted with this work.

Then there’s child psychologist, Holly Walsh. Getting therapy was Jessie’s Dad’s idea and sometimes talking to Holly makes Jessie feel better, but not even to Holly can she tell the whole truth. There is no one who knows the true extent of her pain…or the darkness that so closely beckons. Is there anyone who can save her from Veronica Blackwood?

In her honest, open and inspiring autobiography, Leap, she sheds light on her journey to the top. As a child Geva was a naturally gifted athlete, standing out at 5'10" at the age of twelve. She began life as a champion trampolinist, but when she outgrew the sport, literally, she found she had to try something new. This led her to basketball, but the boys on the other teams complained - she was just too good. Making up the numbers for an impromptu netball match one day at the age of thirteen she found her home in netball - or rather it found her. From here, Geva's rise amongst the ranks of British netball was stratospheric, she was playing for the England senior team when she was just fifteen years old. Taking risks and forging the way for other athletes Geva moved to Australia to develop her game by playing in the best league in the world and eventually winning Commonwealth gold with the England Roses. However, it's not all been easy, both on and off the court, and Geva talks honestly about her personal life, and how the difficulties and failures of her teams, both international and domestic, have driven her on to achieve the highest possible success in the sport.

Book excerpt: AS HEARD ON RADIO 4 'Utterly wonderful' NINA STIBBE, author of Love, Nina Twenty hours have gone since I last wrote. I have been thinking of you. I shall think of you until I post this, and until you get it. Can you feel, as you read these words, that I am thinking of you now; aglow, alive, alert at the thought that you are in the same world, and by some strange chance loving me. In September 1943, Chris Barker was serving as a signalman in North Africa when he decided to brighten the long days of war by writing to old friends. One of these was Bessie Moore, a former work colleague. The unexpected warmth of Bessie's reply changed their lives forever. Crossing continents and years, their funny, affectionate and intensely personal letters are a remarkable portrait of a love played out against the backdrop of the Second World War. Above all, their story is a stirring example of the power of letters to transform ordinary lives.
Download or read book Girl Unmasked written by Emily Katy and published by Monoray. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Emily's moving book is a powerful testimony that shines a light on the continued failure of health services to provide any kind of meaningful improvement for autistic people. Should be essential reading for mental health professionals and anyone with autism in their lives.' - FERN BRADY, author of Strong Female Character 'This book will bring so many readers self-recognition and comfort.' - DEVON PRICE, author of Unmasking Autism 'Vulnerable, affecting and deeply personal, this book will go from a message in a bottle to a rallying cry for many autistic women, girls and young people. We are not alone.' - Elle McNicoll, bestselling author 'A brilliant, thorough exploration of autistic experience, delivered with humanity, compassion and vivid clarity.' - Pete Wharmby, author of Untypical 'A magnificent read which manages to be informative, engaging, sad and uplifting all at the same time. Whether you're discovering that you're autistic yourself or you simply want to understand autistic people better, this is a must-read.' - Cathy Wassell, CEO Autistic Girls Network charity & author of Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person 'The book I wish I'd been able to read when I was younger.' - Sarah Gibbs, author of Drama Queen To the outside world, Emily looks like a typical girl, with a normal family, living an ordinary life. But inside, Emily does not feel typical, and the older she gets, the more she realises that she is different. As she finally discovers when she is 16, Emily is autistic. Girl Unmasked is the extraordinary story of how she got there - and how she very nearly didn't. Still only 21, Emily writes with startling candour about the years leading up to her diagnosis. How books and imagination became her refuge as she sought to escape the increasing anxiety and unbearable stresses of school life; how her OCD almost destroyed her; how a system which did not understand autism let her down; and how she came so close to the edge that she and her family thought she would never survive. In this simple but powerful memoir, we see how family and friends became her lifeline and how, post-diagnosis, Emily came to understand her authentic self and begin to turn her life around, eventually becoming a mental health nurse with a desire to help others where she herself had once been failed. Ultimately uplifting, Girl Unmasked is a remarkable insight into what it can be like to be autistic - and shows us that through understanding and embracing difference we can all find ways to thrive.
Book Synopsis Death Just Happens by : Margaret J. Scott
Download or read book Death Just Happens written by Margaret J. Scott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an inspirational memoir by a Registered Nurse, whose career ended with one incident and diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, after a string of trauma victims in a Australian rural hospital mortuary. The search for her identity without nursing will take you through her childhood memories, her adventures as a bush nurse in a remote ski resort, travels abroad, and the adversity faced with an injured husband raising three toddlers. Using her father’s wisdom and her strong beliefs, life comes full circle reminding us we can overcome death, loss and labels by living life.share this story that took her on full circle and has to be told, so others can overcome tough times combating death and labels by living life. BOOK REVIEW The memoir of an accomplished bush nurse and nursing supervisor; inspired by the career-ending encounter with a particularly gruesome death. Scott’s memoir opens with her receiving a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder—a condition induced by her first-hand exposure to the severely damaged corpse of a swimmer. Facing the prospect of not returning to work, Scott ruminates on her life leading up to that moment. She takes us through her happy girlhood on a farm, painting lush imagery—one of the book’s strong suits. The young Margaret makes for an endearing presence; the forbearance and no-nonsense work ethic that will later assist her is evident in her youth. While Scott shares a few relevant memories from farm life—such as the bandage she instinctively created when her father lost a finger and the demise of various animals—many events, described at length, distract from the central theme. The author covers her decision to enter nursing (strongly colored by her desire to travel via bush nursing), her early schooling and the acquisition of her first nursing jobs. While details concerning the niche brand of skier-injury nursing she’s acquainted with in her pioneering work at a remote resort are interesting in their own right, they’re not well blended with the book’s main focus, and the inclusion of the non-nursing-related minutiae of her many travels and friendships take the narrative further from an examination of the psychological toll inherent in regularly confronting death. A purported brush with telepathic communication serves to jolt focus from practical nursing entirely. Suffering from a lack of integration with the rest of the memoir’s subject matter, this instance brings the credibility of surrounding observations into question. Scott’s return, in the final chapter, to the aphorism that death “just happens” should inspire one to live emphatically, but it feels forced rather than a graceful punctuation of the grand arc of her story. Also, Scott’s sentence structure throughout much of the book is confused in terms of subject-verb agreement, tense and singularity/plurality, which makes the text unnecessarily challenging. Scott covers independently interesting topics, but the book would greatly benefit from improved focus and grammatical polishing. -Kirkus Discoveries Post-traumatic stress disorder is commonly assumed to be an unwelcome souvenir of battle, but PTSD also affects people who have never heard a bomb explode or a rifle shot fired in anger. Margaret J. Scott enjoyed most of her duties as a respected and hard-working nursing supervisor in an Australian hospital. What she didn’t realize was the enormous strain her job put on her psyche. Apparently, after studying the hospital mortuary stats with the hospital’s occupational health and safety officer, the numbers I had been involved in were excessive; I was supposed to have snapped years prior. He went on to say I had been working a 93 percent rate of trauma; the analogy he used was, in [Beirut], Lebanon, the medical and nursing are monitored to work only 30 percent trauma in any given year. I had been doing this for over fifteen

Download or read book Game On written by Sue Anstiss and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards 2022 Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2021 Sport has an extraordinary, unique capacity to challenge and change society – to bring joy and hope; to improve physical and mental health, reduce loneliness and build self-esteem and happiness. It’s also a multi-billion-pound commercial industry that can transform lives, businesses, nations and regions. Why has half the population been deprived of access to something so culturally powerful? In recent years, the landscape for women’s sport has finally begun to shift. We’ve seen significant increases in investment, spectators and media coverage. More women as professional athletes and taking influential roles as board directors, editors, officials and CEOs. Yet female athletes still don’t get equal opportunities or funding. In many sports, women receive less prize money, lower sponsorship revenues and a tiny fraction of the media coverage. Drawing on her own experiences, and interviews with high profile Olympic and Paralympic champions, broadcasters, journalists, sports scientists, CEOs, officials and sponsors, Sue Anstiss investigates why women have been excluded from the world of sport for centuries – and why we are now witnessing positive change as never before. Game On is a celebration of the trailblazing women opening doors for others and a manifesto for women’s sport – a rallying cry to ensure the progress we are currently seeing goes from strength to strength.
