It's okay, just ask / by Carlos, Monique Leonardo.; Perera, Salini,1986-;
"An immigration story that gently conveys that curiosity, open-mindedness, and acceptance have the power to overcome fear, close-mindedness, and rejection. It's Okay, Just Ask is the story of a child who immigrates with her family (older sister and parents) to a new place and faces the uncertainties, fears, and wonder that come with a big change in the middle of childhood. The story is loosely based on the author's own move to Canada from the Philippines with her family seven years ago and the ways her own two children experienced and coped with the transition. The narrative follows the family's move through snapshot glimpses into the child's experiences as she tries to find her place in this new home and community. Each time she faces a new uncertainty-on the plane when she notices that her mother is quieter than usual, or when she has questions about an unfamiliar monument in her new country, or when she wonders about the differences between herself and her new classmates-she listens to (or remembers) her mother's words: It's okay, just ask. This repeated refrain guides her to meet these new hurdles with open-mindedness, curiosity, and courage. And every time she chooses to just ask, she learns something new and her understanding of this transitional phase of her life and her new home, peers, and neighbors grows deeper and more nuanced. This story aims to teach children that it's okay to ask questions when they are unsure of something, especially when it comes to being confident in, open to, and respectful of the differences you notice in others' lives, cultures, and looks compared to your own"--

The accidental caregiver : wisdom and guidance for the unexpected challenges of family caregiving / by Fraser, Kimberly,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Estimates suggest almost half of the adult population will someday be a caregiver, whether for an aging parent, an ailing partner, or a disabled family member. It is a role that tends to fall on people without warning, and almost certainly without preparation or training. Even Dr. Kimberly Fraser, a nurse who ran a large home support business, found it a struggle when her father and husband needed increasing levels of care. In this timely and urgently needed book, she gives readers sound, practical advice on how to meet with humanity and optimism the bewildering array of challenges facing caregivers: where to find help, how to navigate a confusing healthcare system, how to deal with constant demands, how to keep one's own life from being overwhelmed by new responsibilities. Based on personal experience, prodigious research, and extensive interviews, The Accidental Caregiver is an invaluable resource for everyone concerned for vulnerable people in their lives and communities"--

Wilde for you / by Ryan, Jennifer,1973-author.;
Landscape artist, Layla Brock, knows what it feels like to love someone so completely you'd do anything for them--even take their secrets to the grave. Widowed after her husband's betrayals and tragic death, Layla is searching for a new scene to paint, a new life to live. And Wyoming feels like the perfect place to get lost and find herself again. Jax Wilde runs the family ranch, but has a few side hustles: wrangling his sisters, covering shifts at the Dark Horse Dive Bar, and renting out cabins to tourists looking for the ranch experience. His busy schedule, plus a bad breakup, equals no personal life. And then she showed up. And the woman he thought he had nothing in common with turned out to be his perfect match. Layla knows what it feels like to lose everything. Jax is a man who wants it all--a wife, children, a life filled with happy memories. It's a beautiful picture of a life Layla thought she'd had but turned out to be a lie. This could be her second chance.

The way of all flesh / by Parry, Ambrose,author.;
"Young women are being discovered dead across the Old Town, all having suffered similarly gruesome ends. In the New Town, medical student Will Raven is about to start his apprenticeship with the brilliant and renowned Dr Simpson. Simpson's patients range from the richest to the poorest of this divided city. His house is like no other, full of visiting luminaries and daring experiments in the new medical frontier of anaesthesia. It is here that Raven meets housemaid Sarah Fisher, who recognises trouble when she sees it and takes an immediate dislike to him. She has all of his intelligence but none of his privileges, in particular his medical education. With each having their own motive to look deeper into these deaths, Raven and Sarah find themselves propelled headlong into the darkest shadows of Edinburgh's underworld, where they will have to overcome their differences if they are to make it out alive."--Amazon.com.

Spellbound : my life as a dyslexic wordsmith / by Hanley, Phil,author.;
"The A-list comedian tells the story of his unlikely path to success while struggling with severe dyslexia. When Phil Hanley entered first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn't read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him and wrote him off as a hopeless case. Phil slipped through the school's cracks, year by year falling farther and farther behind his friends, only passing to each next grade because of his mother's interventions. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life. In Spellbound, Phil Hanley shares his experience living with debilitating dyslexia. Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life to be defined by unconventional twists. He moved to Europe and became a successful runway model, a job that suitably kept him away from pens and paper. In search of fulfillment that couldn't be found posing for a Docker's ad, Phil retreated home to Vancouver where, desperate to manage the mental health issues connected to living with dyslexia, he turned to an all-consuming obsession with Transcendental Meditation. Finally, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Stand-up became the first pursuit that the more Phil put into it, the more he got out, and something that he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you, and of triumph over adversity. Phil shows us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but having it does not spell certain condemnation (nor can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life-it's been his north star"--

The aftergrief : finding your way along the long arc of loss / by Edelman, Hope,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A validating new approach to the long-term grieving process that explains why we feel "stuck," why that's normal, and how shifting a perception of grief can help us grow--from the New York Times bestselling author of Motherless Daughters. Shouldn't I be over this by now? Why do I still feel the pain? Because of the common assumption that grief should be time-limited, too many of us believe we've done it "wrong" when sadness reemerges months or even years after a major loss. In The AfterGrief, Hope Edelman offers a new and reality-affirming paradigm: grief is not an emotion to pass through on the way to "feeling better," but a state that we repeatedly return to as we experience important life transitions and new crises. Drawing from her own encounters with the ripple effects of early loss, as well as interviews with more than seventy-five people, Edelman offers profound advice for reassessing loss and adjusting the stories we tell ourselves about its impact on our identities. With guidance for reframing a story of loss, finding equilibrium within it, and experiencing renewed growth and purpose, The AfterGrief shows that though grief may be a lifelong process, it doesn't have to be a lifelong struggle"--
