Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen-year-old Harley Columba is convinced she's adopted. She's nothing like her abusive, alcoholic father or her bitter, romance novel-reading mother. They have brown eyes, but Harley's eyes are blue. They argue and drink and thrive in dreary suburbia while Harley paints, writes poetry, and longs for a different family and a better life. But then she finds a new, startling piece of evidence: a harlequin doll that's been hidden away for years, with a note around its neck: "Papa loves you forever and a day." Now Harley has genuine hope--hope that she can escape the chaos of the Columba household. Hope that she can find her real father. Tough, funny, and refreshingly honest, Harley, Like a Person is a compelling story of family, the power of creativity, and the enduring strength of self.

Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Funny and heartbreaking, this New York Times bestselling debut perfectly captures the maddening confusion of adolescence and the prickly nature of family with irony and unerring honesty. Harley Altmyer should be in college having the time of his life. He should be free from the backwards Pennsylvania coal town he calls home, with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he’s constantly reminded of just how messed up everything is... Harley’s mother is in prison for killing his father, so he’s in charge of bringing up his younger sisters and working two jobs to pay the bills—and that doesn’t leave a lot of time for distractions. But lately, he’s getting more and more sidetracked by lusting after Callie Mercer, his middle-aged neighbor. As he struggles to keep it together, things begin to spin out of control. Soon Harley finds that as shattered as his family is, there are still more crushing surprises in store. “In Harley, O’Dell has created a hero who’s heartbreakingly believable; like Holden Caulfield, he uses caustic humor to hide his pain. Readers will care very much about him and his future, if indeed he has one.”—St. Petersburg Times

Book excerpt: Pathetically Apathetic provides you with a clear, honest talk about how we all suffer from cognitive dissonances, and the simple steps to break free. We all talk about dreams, ideas, goals and aspirations, but so few of us really achieve these goals. I dealt with this very reality for the first 22 years of my life without knowing it! Whether it's your negative environment, your unrealistic expectations for the future, the lack of trust you have in others (and yourself) or the lack of obsession that's required to achieve great goals, you've now almost lost faith. You're about to throw in the towel. I'm here to tell you that people with the greatest cards in life can still live a pathetically apathetic life. I'm also here to tell you that anyone can create a life they're actually happy with. This book doesn't contain "hidden secrets to success" or guarantees that your life will change. What it does give is the honest talk you may have never had about life, and the simple steps you must consistently implement to accomplish your goals. It's the same process that's been implemented by hundreds of thousands of people over the last century and it's been written about before. It's about time you finally got to see this take place for yourself.Let's get started. What are you waiting for?
