Book excerpt: Nothing like an injury and a move around the world to crush your dreams. I should be training for the Olympics. Instead, I'm a comeback gymnast at Mount Rainier Legacy Academy. This school is known for two things: billionaires and grueling academics. Though I've mastered the art of focus, there's one distraction I can't ignore: Ryan Jacobs. He cracks jokes... Constantly chatters in class... And, wears a smile that says he's up to no good. His carefree view of the world annoys me just as much as his bent for being the center of attention. But he does have the most mesmerizingly perfect lips... And when I need help after a sprained ankle, he says he's my guy. I didn't mean to lead him on... I didn't mean to fall for him... I certainly didn't mean to kiss the class clown... But maybe it's too late for my heart to forget that magical moment. Maybe I've already fallen in love.

Download or read book City of Clowns written by Daniel Alarcón and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gorgeously rendered graphic novel of Daniel Alarcón’s story City of Clowns. From the author of The King Is Always Above the People, which was longlisted for the 2017 National Book Award for Fiction. Oscar “Chino” Uribe is a young Peruvian journalist for a local tabloid paper. After the recent death of his philandering father, he must confront the idea of his father’s other family, and how much of his own identity has been shaped by his father’s murky morals. At the same time, he begins to chronicle the life of street clowns, sad characters who populate the violent and corrupt city streets of Lima, and is drawn into their haunting, fantastical world. This remarkably affecting story by Daniel Alarcón was included in his acclaimed first book, War by Candlelight, and now, in collaboration with artist Sheila Alvarado, it takes on a new, thrilling form. This graphic novel, with its short punches of action and images, its stark contrasts between light and dark, truth and fiction, perfectly corresponds to the tone of Chino’s story. With the city of Lima as a character, and the bold visual language from the story, City of Clowns is moving, menacing, and brilliantly vivid.

Download or read book Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Puberty and Adolescence written by Gertraud Diem-Wille and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puberty is a time of tumultuous transition from childhood to adulthood activated by rapid physical changes, hormonal development and explosive activity of neurons. This book explores puberty through the parent-teenager relationship, as a "normal state of crisis", lasting several years and with the teenager oscillating between childlike tendencies and their desire to become an adult. The more parents succeed in recognizing and experiencing these new challenges as an integral, ineluctable emotional transformative process, the more they can allow their children to become independent. In addition, parents who can also see this crisis as a chance for their own further development will be ultimately enriched by this painful process. They can face up to their own aging as they take leave of youth with its myriad possibilities, accepting and working through a newfound rivalry with their sexually mature children, thus experiencing a process of maturity, which in turn can set an example for their children. This book is based on rich clinical observations from international settings, unique within the field, and there is an emphasis placed by the author on the role of the body in self-awareness, identity crises and gender construction. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, parents and carers, as well as all those interacting with adolescents in self, family and society.

Download or read book Little Panic written by Amanda Stern and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vein of bestselling memoirs about mental illness like Andrew Solomon's Noonday Demon, Sarah Hepola's Blackout, and Daniel Smith's Monkey Mind comes a gorgeously immersive, immediately relatable, and brilliantly funny memoir about living life on the razor's edge of panic. The world never made any sense to Amanda Stern--how could she trust time to keep flowing, the sun to rise, gravity to hold her feet to the ground, or even her own body to work the way it was supposed to? Deep down, she knows that there's something horribly wrong with her, some defect that her siblings and friends don't have to cope with. Growing up in the 1970s and 80s in New York, Amanda experiences the magic and madness of life through the filter of unrelenting panic. Plagued with fear that her friends and family will be taken from her if she's not watching-that her mother will die, or forget she has children and just move away-Amanda treats every parting as her last. Shuttled between a barefoot bohemian life with her mother in Greenwich Village, and a sanitized, stricter world of affluence uptown with her father, Amanda has little she can depend on. And when Etan Patz disappears down the block from their MacDougal Street home, she can't help but believe that all her worst fears are about to come true. Tenderly delivered and expertly structured, Amanda Stern's memoir is a document of the transformation of New York City and a deep, personal, and comedic account of the trials and errors of seeing life through a very unusual lens.

Book excerpt: Is paradise a place or a feeling? This is a question 22-year-old Savana Deans struggles with when she discovers an extraordinary world, Paradise, through a portal. It’s a land that lacks imperfection. Money doesn’t matter, pollution and climate change don’t exist with the magical methods of transportation and neither do diseases. She begins to realize that nothing can lack imperfection when her world had to fall apart for her to find Paradise while pregnant with her toxic ex’s child and looking for love that understands her. Reuniting with her brother who was reported missing would have done just that, but this world has much more planned for her than she expects. She has two men interested in her romantically despite her situation. There’s the sweet and charming bakery owner, Aidan Benson, who checks off all her boxes in the prince she dreamed of finding after reading so many fairytales as a child. Not to mention, her first love, the reckless, kindhearted, Caleb Daniels, who left her without an explanation when they were only kids. With so many secrets, exes, baggage, much sabotage, and jealousy, this world is deemed to be anything but perfect with people full of flaws. After all, these aren’t two random men but ex-best friends for very good reasons. Savana is given less than a week in her time, a year in this world, to not only find the love she is missing in her life but to decide if this is a world she wants to live in permanently. She must decide if this is a world to raise her child in, possibly leaving the father back home. Will she find all she is looking for in a world that might not even be real or go back home feeling more damaged than ever before?
