Book Description
Each year, as many as 25,000 teenagers "age out" of foster care, usually when they turn eighteen. For years, a government agency had made every important decision for them. Suddenly, they are on their own, with no one to count on. What does it mean to be eighteen and on your own, without the family support and personal connections that most young people rely on? For many youth raised in foster care, it means largely unhappy endings, including sudden homelessness, unemployment, dead-end jobs, loneliness, and despair. On Their Own tells the compelling stories of ten young people whose lives are full of promise, but who face economic and social barriers stemming from the disruptions of foster care. This book calls for action to provide youth in foster care the same opportunities on the road to adulthood that most of our youth take for granted-access to higher education, vocational training, medical care, housing, and relationships within their communities. On Their Own is meant to serve as a clarion call not only to policymakers, but to all Americans who care about the futures of our young people.

Book Description
This edited collection situates the migration of children and young people into Europe within a global framework of analysis and provides a holistic perspective that encompasses cultural media, ethnographic research and policy analysis. Drawing on a unique study of young unaccompanied migrants who subsequently became ‘adult’ within the UK and Italy, it examines their different trajectories and how they were impacted by their ability to secure legal status. Divided into three interlinked sections, it begins by examining the cultural repertoires about migration and adulthood to which migrants are sensitized in their countries of origin from a young age. This forms the contexts within which their direct experiences of turning 18 in a different country are explored. These combined insights are framed by an analysis of related policies which bureaucratically and institutionally shape these migratory experiences. This interdisciplinary volume will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of migration studies, international development, geography, sociology, anthropology, youth studies, law, education, health and wellbeing, social care and cultural studies.

Book Description
Isang mabait at simpleng bata si LORENA pero hindi sya ordinaryong bata gaya ng kanyang inaakala. Nananalaytay sa kanyang mga ugat ang dugong bughaw ng isang pagiging sirena. Siya ang nawawalang anak ng reyna ng mga sirena sa Dagatlandya. Lumaki siya sa piling ng kanyang pekeng Nanay na dating kanang-kamay ng reyna. Kinamulatan niya na ang pagmalupitan siya ng kanyang Nanay kahit na nagsasaing siya, naglilinis ng bahay at naglalako ng mga isda para lang makuha siyang mahalin nito. Ngunit bigo siya, kung hindi sa kanyang kaibigan na pawikan, siguradong malulungkot lang siya buong araw. Tama, may kakayahan siyang makausap ang mga lamang-dagat. Isang araw, sumali siya sa paligsahan sa pag-awit. Dahil taglay niya ang mala-anghel na tinig, nasungkit niya ang unang gantimpala. Masayang-masaya siya ngunit ang panandaliang kasiyahan ay napalitan ng kalungkutan ng ang premyong pera na itatabi niya sa kanyang pag-aaral ay sapilitang kinuha ng kanyang ina para igasta sa bisyo nito. Sinampal at nakatikim ng mga masasakit na salita si Lorena mula sa kanyang Nanay. Tumakbo siya sa dalampasigan habang umiiyak. Gulat sa kanyang nalaman si Lorena. Hindi siya tunay na anak ng kanyang Nanay. Isa siyang sirena. Anak ng reyna ng Dagatlandya. Sa tulong ni Pawikana, naglakbay siya sa karagatan patungo sa kaharian ng kanyang tunay na ina. Ngunit, hinarangan sila ng masamang sirena na si Oktupoda. Sinugod siya upang paslangin pero biglang naglabas nang nakakasilaw na liwanag ang kanyang mga mata. Tuwang-tuwa siya at si Pawikana. Maraming pagsubok ang pinagdaanan ni Lorena sa ilalim ng dagat bago niya narating ang nakaratay niyang ina, ang reyna ng Dagatlandya. Nariyan ang malapit siyang matusta sa bolang apoy ng dragon, makain ng pating, at matuklaw ng dagat-ahas. Sa kanyang busilak na kalooban at pananampalataya sa Dakilang May Likha, nakamit niya ang pinakaasam-asam na bagay: ang pagmamahal ng ina

Book Description
As a child, Eugene happily grew up in a large middle-class family with his mother in a rural village while his father worked away in Darjeeling, India. On September 5, 1962, a tragedy struck his family shattering their dreams, their happiness and their life. Eugene was only ten. Consequently, it left him in a dead end, an unknown world completely lost without hope, love, and security. The volatile vulnerability in a boarding house; the aftermath of the famine and the flood as well as the atrocity of war and crossing to India on foot, nearly cost his life. Eugene pledged himself; nothing was going to deter him from achieving his success. With initiative and perseverance, he risked his life and plunged into the unknown. In the process, he went through fire and water yet he believed in his instinct and followed his heart. In the end, Eugene achieved something extraordinary. The Endless Night is not simply a true story about his childhood and young adulthood, it is also about to connect with the young generation, not just teaching them to value life but also helping them to understand why they want to value others. It is a captivating, amusing, adventurous, and inspiring book.
