Book excerpt: Let your mind become entranced by the coming-of-age poetry collection of debut poet Anna Jean. It encapsulates a 15-year-old girl's perspective on life, nature, and relationships. When Anna Jean was fifteen, she wrote down her thoughts and feelings into words on a page, weaved them together, and they've become a beating heart other poetry lovers can hold in the form of Bittersweet Seventeen. This vulnerable and unique collection of Anna Jean's poetry is a whirlwind of vast emotions, from teenage angst to melodrama. When written, the author captured the things that moved her through poems that stuck in her soul. She noticed the beauty in the little things; the way the trees bent with the wind and the way the grass felt beneath her bare feet. But, being a teenager, she also felt emotions intensely. Bittersweet Seventeen includes poems of heartbreak, rage, and an occasional boost of self esteem. More than anything, Anna Jean shares this collection of poems to encourage readers to feel both seen and understood. We've all lived through a gamut of emotions at some points in our lives; some of us have struggled more than others in one sense or another. Bittersweet Seventeen seeks to give words to those feelings, meaning to the angst, and visibility to the forgotten. Poetry fans, teens, parents of teenagers, and counselors will resonate with the wide range of emotions described metaphorically in Bittersweet Seventeen. It's a collection meant for everyone who needs to feel seen, heard, and loved as they are now.

Download or read book Seven Going on Seventeen written by Jacqueline Reid-Walsh and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tween is the «new girl on the block» in girlhood studies. Although the study of tween life may have derived from a particular marketing orientation at the end of the twentieth century, it is not limited by it. On the contrary, this collection of essays shows that «tween» is not a simple or unified concept, nor is it limited to a certain class of girls in a few countries. This collection by an international group of authors highlights specific methodologies for working with (and studying) tween-age girls, provides challenges to the presumed innocence of girlhood, and engages in an analysis of marketing in relation to girlhood. In so doing, this book offers a reading on these three or four years in a girl's life that suggests that this period is as fascinating as the teen years, and as generative in its implications for girlhood studies as studies of both younger and adolescent girls.

Book excerpt: From the RITA Award–winning author of Five Days in Skye comes a sweet, romantic treat that will leave you hungry for more. Baker and pastry chef Melody Johansson has always believed in finding the positive in every situation, but seven years after she moved to Denver, she can’t deny that she’s stuck in a rut. One relationship after another has ended in disaster, and her classical French training is being wasted on her night job in a mediocre chain bakery. Then the charming and handsome private pilot Justin Keller lands on the doorstep of her workplace in a snowstorm, and Melody feels like it’s a sign that her luck is finally turning around. Justin is intrigued by the lively bohemian baker, but the last thing he’s looking for is a relationship. His own romantic failures have proven that the demands of his job are incompatible with meaningful connections, and he’s already pledged his life savings to a new business venture across the country—an island air charter in Florida with his sister and brother-in-law. Against their better judgment, Melody and Justin find themselves drawn together by their unconventional career choices and shared love of adventure. But when an unexpected windfall provides Melody with the chance to open her dream bakery-café in Denver with her best friend, chef Rachel Bishop, she’s faced with an impossible choice: stay and put down roots with the people and place she’s come to call home . . . or give it all up for the man she loves.
