Download or read book You re the Only One I Can Tell written by Deborah Tannen and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This warm, wise exploration of female friendship from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of You Just Don’t Understand will help women lean into these powerful relationships. A WASHINGTON POST NOTABLE BOOK • “Celebrates friendship in its frustrations and its rewards and, above all, its wonderful complexity.”—The Atlantic Best friend, old friend, good friend, bff, college roommate, neighbor, workplace confidante: Women’s friendships are a lifeline in times of trouble and a support system for daily life. A friend can be like a sister, daughter, mother, mentor, therapist, or confessor—or she can be all of these at once. She’s seen you at your worst and celebrates you at your best. Figuring out what it means to be friends is, in the end, no less than figuring out how we connect to other people. In this illuminating and validating new book, #1 New York Times bestselling author Deborah Tannen deconstructs the ways women friends talk and how those ways can bring friends closer or pull them apart. From casual chatting to intimate confiding, from talking about problems to telling what you had for dinner, Tannen uncovers the patterns of communication and miscommunication that affect friendships at different points in our lives. She shows how even the best of friends—with the best intentions—can say the wrong thing, and how words can repair the damage done by words. Through Tannen’s signature insight, humor, and ability to present pitch-perfect real-life dialogue, readers will see themselves and their friendships on every page. The book explains • the power of women friends who show empathy, give advice—or just listen • how women use talk to connect to friends—and to subtly compete • how “Fear of Being Left Out” and “Fear of Getting Kicked Out” can haunt women’s friendships • how social media is reshaping communication and relationships Drawing on interviews with eighty women of diverse backgrounds, ranging in age from nine to ninety-seven, You’re the Only One I Can Tell gets to the heart of women’s friendships—how they work or fail, how they help or hurt, and how we can make them better. “At a time when the messages we give and get have so many more ways to be misconstrued and potentially damaging, a book that takes apart our language becomes almost vital to our survival as friends.”—The Washington Post

Download or read book The Only One A Memoir of Hope written by Wendy Moses and published by Wendy Moses. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the age of twelve, Wendy Moses had been diagnosed with three life-threatening diseases. Cushing’s Syndrome, a neuroendocrine tumor, and multiple endocrine neoplasia plagued her body. Because no doctor had ever seen a case like hers before, she was given less than six months to live. Suddenly her childhood was filled with tests, scans, and appointments while multiple doctors tried anything and everything to save her life. This is a story of fear, as Wendy’s family had to stare into the face of death. It is a story of pain, as wave after wave of bad news battered her young heart. It is a story of dishonesty, as she tried to cover her mental and emotional pain with drugs. It is a story of solitude, as being the only one left her heart empty and starving for empathy from those who would never understand. Wendy’s story is also filled with love from her family. It is filled with comfort in the many prayers and well-wishes from countless friends and strangers. It is filled with peace that there is a purpose for her years of pain. But most of all, this is a story of hope. Hope in forgiveness, hope in healing, hope in the knowledge that her life holds value. Hope that maybe just one life will be changed by her story.

Sam lives with his mum, dad and four brothers in a small farming town. At his school, there are three main factions: the rich kids, the mid-grounders and the farm kids who live on the outskirts. Sam is a comfortable mid-grounder and life is pretty good. He works as a lifeguard at the local surf club, is saving to buy his first car, he's training with his friends for the Ironman challenge, and on Sunday afternoons he and his family take care packages to their less fortunate neighbours. Then, five years since they last spoke, Emily Burrow climbs back into Sam's life and everything changes. Emily's life is very different to Sam's – her absent father has returned and her mum struggles with her mental health. Sam does his best to be there for Emily when he wasn't for so long, but there seems to be no right way to help her. When Rei starts at school, Sam is smitten. Rei's parents are social workers, she's from the rich side of town, and her life seems a thousand miles away from how the kids on the outskirts live. In a world that's ill-equipped to support kids struggling with unseen burdens, is there a way to help Emily before the worst happens?
