Book Description
The inspiration for the Lifetime movie and a guide for parents confronting their autistic children's journeys to adulthood. Parents of autistic children often wonder: What will happen to our kids when they grow up? Can they work? Have relationships and their own families? Here is the poignant story of one woman watching her autistic boys reach adulthood. A single mother barely making ends meet, Corrine Morgan-Thomas could hardly afford doctors for her twins, Stephen and Phillip. After their diagnosis of autism, no one else thought these boys would ever amount to anything. But Corrine managed single-handedly to keep the boys out of institutions-and in "regular" school. And their inspiring story became Lifetime television's Miracle Run. The real miracle, though, was what happened where the movie left off-when Stephen and Phillip graduated to face adult autism. From their diagnosis to the present day, when the boys have grown into young men leading happy lives, Corrine's eye-opening story is full of candor, humor, and most of all, hope.

Publisher: Rick Anthony
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
In a world governed by secrets and shadows, a government project known as Echo emerges, promising to reshape the very fabric of existence. The project grants individuals the power to transform into anyone they touch, assimilating their DNA, knowledge, and memories. But what begins as a potential tool for good quickly becomes a battleground of ethics, redemption, and the pursuit of justice. This science fiction thriller delves into the lives of a diverse team of individuals, each grappling with their own past mistakes and seeking redemption in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Led by Dr. Rebecca Foster, a visionary scientist haunted by the consequences of her creations, the team embarks on a transformative journey to dismantle the corrupt systems that allowed injustice to thrive. As they navigate the shadows of their own pasts, the team encounters a host of challenges, from rogue agents wielding the power of Echo for personal gain to deep-rooted conspiracies that threaten to unravel the very fabric of society. Along the way, they must confront their own fears, doubts, and the moral complexities that arise when wielding the power to become anyone. Through each chapter, the story explores themes of redemption, identity, and the consequences of scientific innovation. The team grapples with the moral implications of their past actions and embarks on a quest to right the wrongs of their own making. Their journey takes them from the halls of power to the darkest corners of the underworld as they uncover hidden truths, face formidable adversaries, and ultimately redefine their purpose in a world that yearns for change. The story weaves together elements of suspense, action, and introspection as the characters navigate a world where the boundaries of identity are blurred and the echoes of the past linger in every decision. As they strive to undo the damage caused by their own creations, they must confront their own vulnerabilities, forge new alliances, and inspire a movement that transcends their individual stories. In the end, this science fiction thriller challenges our notions of identity and explores the enduring power of redemption. It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, hope can emerge, and that the choices we make today can echo through eternity, shaping a better world for future generations.

Nemesis

Pages : 177
Book Description
After A Sorta Fairytale was published, I was inundated with requests to talk more about my prose lyrics. One part of me felt that the text should speak for itself and that to 'explain' would be like naming the colours of a painting while forgetting to look at the picture. This was why I only explained some of the words and meanings contained within the book. Another part of me wanted to acknowledge the genuine interest people were showing and so I replied, haphazardly it seemed, to those who would have asked. For this publication I have decided to continue the theme but this time in full. I have, in response, provided some background to the pieces in the hope that the understanding of the words and meanings may have some uniformity. This, of course, will go part of the way to explain them, for it is also my hope that everyone who reads them may hold their own interpretation. I have written about them by searching for the genesis of the words in diaries and notebooks I have kept and so the background has, as a result, the flavour of a personal journal. It is, in a way, my book of days. It’s only when you finish the book – the stories and what they are saying – that you know. I write a piece. I work on it for a while and then leave it. I might not go back to these words for three, maybe six months. When I do go back, that’s where I try and see what the emotional feeling was, what was in the words. There is also reflection contained within this publication as I revisit just a few pieces, a process that presents (so I have been told) a fascinating portrait of a writer in a constant state of evolution. I have re-written some elements whilst keeping the essence of verse – making these something of a Director’s Cut but in word, not vision. For some time I have felt that I wanted to revisit some of my works and that they could benefit from having new life breathed into them and now these selections have another layer of work woven into their fabric. Nemesis has an arrangement of journeys, in the rain, through the length of a lifetime, amongst history, between emotions, and journeys across great oceans. So although it’s not a ‘themed’ collection of words, as such, there is an underlying connection between the pieces. These notes are only part of the equation.

Paste Magazine Pick for Best New YA Books of August 2022 “An addictive, action-packed, scorcher of a read!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël Some shadows protect you...others will kill you in this dazzling new fantasy series from award-winning author Abigail Owen. Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose—to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift—an eerily familiar gift—and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake. As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields—other faces, identities that threaten my very life. Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon...and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart. The Dominions series is best enjoyed in order.
