Book Description
It happened one night not long after that holiday. I think they had been out but I'm not sure. I remember I was sleeping in my bed when the noises of my mum and him getting home awoke me. Suddenly, my bedroom door opened but it wasn't my mum. I didn't know where she was. It was him. I pretended to be asleep. He came to the side of the bed and I didn't know what was happening but my mind told me to stay still. He pulled the covers back, I didn't move. I kept my eyes closed. My heart felt like it was jumping out of my chest. He lifted my legs apart and I let them move. He pulled up my nightdress and pulled my pants down. I didn't even try to open my eyes. Imagine being an innocent 7-year-old girl with a broke, single mum. Now imagine your mum meets a man that can give her a nice house and a better life in exchange for you. That's what happened to me. For years I suffered neglect and psychological and sexual abuse from him, with my mum being a silent witness. I had No One to Save Me, yet I survived.

Book Description
She did not live up to the expectation that all adolescents have. She lived a cold and hard reality. In today's world, her only weapon was the same one that killed her. She always had in mind that happiness was not her thing. And that adolescence was going to be her worst battle, that she couldn't win every day. Hoping to see better days come, where she wouldn't have to force herself to feel what she doesn't feel; to express what she doesn't feel. Well... there are people in this world who don't know how to measure her words, who don't know how much each word affects a person and that each word can become an outflow of blood. She wanted to be loved and wanted by someone. He… He always wanted to save someone and be a hero. Fate did its thing and turned their lives upside down, uniting them for a reason that they both had to discover. She just wanted to be saved from that world. This… is the reality of thousands of adolescents in the world today. For those who seek victory in every battle, every day. For those, that the war has been lost. Suicide is not the solution. Neither does the blade. She didn't understand. And he came to make her understand... that life can smile at her, at everyone capable of smiling at her even with tears falling. Where she needed help. He was her salvation. (Based on real facts)

Book Description
This book should give everyone the opportunity to put some form of savings in place, whether utilizing the $10-per-day plan or an amount that will be comforting on the pocket. As mentioned throughout, if the savings-plan formula is used with any amount, then at the end, which could mean retirement or the end of a set goal, some accumulation of funds will be available. With the proper use of the work sheet, accurate records can be kept of the money going into the savings plan, and the total can be seen at all times. The words in the puzzle are enhancing words that will assist in the saving process and will serve as a reminder to positive outcomes. Saving should be practiced among the young and the old, more so the young because starting early will lead to more at the end of a set period. Don’t hesitate; start now before it’s too late. Always remember not to borrow or lend from this savings plan because once this practice is started, it can lead to disaster in the plan. Saving should be fun and not stressful; the more fun an individual has during the process, the better will be the reward. Everyone should be competitive with himself or herself. Set goals and aim at reaching them. Don’t wait; just do it.

Book Description
*THE INAUGURAL SARAH JESSICA PARKER PICK FOR BOOK CLUB CENTRAL* CHOSEN AS A 2017 BEST SUMMER READ PICK BY The Wall Street Journal • The Washington Post • The Seattle Times NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2017 BY Entertainment Weekly • Nylon • Elle • Redbook • W Magazine • The Chicago Review of Books JJ Ferguson has returned home to Pinewood, North Carolina, to build his dream house and to pursue his high school sweetheart, Ava. But as he reenters his former world, where factories are in decline and the legacy of Jim Crow is still felt, he’s startled to find that the people he once knew and loved have changed just as much as he has. Ava is now married and desperate for a baby, though she can’t seem to carry one to term. Her husband, Henry, has grown distant, frustrated by the demise of the furniture industry, which has outsourced to China and stripped the area of jobs. Ava’s mother, Sylvia, caters to and meddles with the lives of those around her, trying to fill the void left by her absent son. And Don, Sylvia’s unworthy but charming husband, just won’t stop hanging around. JJ’s return—and his plans to build a huge mansion overlooking Pinewood and woo Ava—not only unsettles their family, but stirs up the entire town. The ostentatious wealth that JJ has attained forces everyone to consider the cards they’ve been dealt, what more they want and deserve, and how they might go about getting it. Can they reorient their lives to align with their wishes rather than their current realities? Or are they all already resigned to the rhythms of the particular lives they lead? No One Is Coming to Save Us is a revelatory debut from an insightful voice: with echoes of The Great Gatsby it is an arresting and powerful novel about an extended African American family and their colliding visions of the American Dream. In evocative prose, Stephanie Powell Watts has crafted a full and stunning portrait that combines a universally resonant story with an intimate glimpse into the hearts of one family.
