Download or read book Just Add Hormones written by Matt Kailey and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matt Kailey lived as a straight woman for the first forty-two years of his life. Though happy as a social worker and teacher, he knew something wasn't right. Then he made some changes. With the help of a good therapist, chest surgery, and some strong doses of testosterone, Kailey began his journey toward becoming a man. As his body morphed and his voice dropped, Kailey began noticing subtle shifts in the way he was treated. Men suddenly stopped offering to change flat tires for him but insisted on talking to him about women and bodily functions. Women got nervous when he baby-talked to their infants but routinely asked him to move heavy things around the office. In these everyday exchanges, Kailey recognized the many ways we define what it means to be male. He also realized that, with few role models, he had to learn to accept himself as a person between two genders. As he writes about his transition from female to male, Kailey answers all the questions you've ever had about what it's like to live as a transsexual. From the fear of public restrooms to deciding whether to "pack" his pants, Kailey explains what the world looks like from his new vantage point-a position more people are discovering as gender transitions become increasingly common. More than a memoir, Just Add Hormones is full of sound advice for those who may be questioning their gender. And through his story, Kailey offers valuable insights to the families and friends of those who have started a transition. Funny, fresh, and incredibly candid, Just Add Hormones can help us all consider-and even laugh at-our own notions of what it means to be a man or a woman.

Download or read book Malum Kings College Elite written by Cora Masters and published by The Phantom Pen. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abel Hartford reigns at Malum Kings College. They awarded me a full scholarship to the most prestigious collegiate academy on the East Coast. The thing is, I never applied. Despite that, I’ve never been one to let an opportunity pass, so I accept the anonymous generosity. Abel is not happy about my decision. We were close once, when our parents were married, but he’s completely changed, and not for the better. Now I have to see him every single day, whether I want to or not. He won’t let a moment pass without reminding me that I do not belong in his world. Pranks and gossip distract me from all I’ve ever wanted: an education to rise above. If it wasn’t for Blake and Kailey, I'd tuck my tail and leave Malum. Abel would win. I’m glad I'm staying. As the year goes by, Abel’s cruelty hardens me. It teaches me lessons I should’ve learned years ago. Lessons I won’t need to learn twice. If Abel thinks he can banish me from his so-called court, he’d better think again. I have just as much right to be here as he does. Perhaps it's time for a queen to overthrow the king. Due to intense subject matter, Malum Kings College isn't intended for readers under 17. Malum Kings College Elite Includes Wicked Lure and Wicked Urge in one complete standalone read!

Download or read book Wicked Urge written by Cora Masters and published by The Phantom Pen. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abel Hartford still reigns at Malum Kings College. He is so much more powerful with me by his side. Abel did his best and made sure I knew I didn’t belong in his prestigious world. What he didn’t realize is I never even wanted to belong. College was only supposed to be a way out of the pauper class, not a way to reign. When push came to literal shove, I wasn’t about to let Abel’s bullying deter me. I turned the tables, and by submitting to the king, I made him want me more than he’d ever wanted anybody. He burns for me. An unintended consequence is that I yearn for him just as strongly. That’s okay. Now I’m the queen. With the king by my side, Malum Kings College offers more than just an education. It has now presented me with a future a girl like me could never have imagined. I’m no longer a guest in Abel’s court, but a queen prepared to claim the throne. Due to intense subject matter, Malum Kings College isn’t intended for readers under 17.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People say 'love never dies'… but love might be the death of Seraphina. Seraphina has been alive since the Middle Ages, when her boyfriend, Cyrus, managed to perfect a method of alchemy that lets them swap bodies with any human being. She doesn't want to die, so she finds young people who are on the brink of death, and inhabits their bodies. When we meet Sera, she has landed in the body of a girl named Kailey who was about to die in a car accident. For the first time, Sera falls in love with the life of the person she's inhabiting. Sera also falls for the boy next door, Noah. And soon it's clear the feelings are returned. Unfortunately, she can never kiss Noah, because for her to touch lips with a human would mean the human's death. And she has even more to worry about: Cyrus is chasing her, and if she stays in one place for long, she puts herself -and the people she's grown to care for - in danger.

Felicity “Fizzy” Chen is lost. Sure, she’s got an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with a slew of bestsellers under her belt, but when she’s asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn’t been practicing what she’s preached. Fizzy hasn’t ever really been in love. Lust? Definitely. But that swoon-worthy, can’t-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. Nothing. What happens when the optimism she’s spent her career encouraging in readers starts to feel like a lie? Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, loves his work but when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show, putting his job on the line, Connor is out of his element. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. What if he could show the queen of romance herself falling head-over-heels for all the world to see? Fizzy gives him a hard pass—unless he agrees to her list of demands. When he says yes, and production on The True Love Experiment begins, Connor wonders if that perfect match will ever be in the cue cards for him, too. “Full of big laughs, a few tears, and some seriously steamy scenes” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), The True Love Experiment is the book fans have been waiting for ever since Fizzy’s debut in the New York Times bestselling The Soulmate Equation.

Download or read book I ll See You Again written by Jackie Hance and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “wonderful and courageous” (Jeannette Walls) memoir, Jackie Hance shares her story of unbearable loss, darkest despair, and—slowly, painfully, and miraculously—her cautious return to hope and love. Until the horrific car accident on New York’s Taconic State Parkway that took the lives of her three beloved young daughters, Jackie Hance was an ordinary Long Island mom, fulfilled by the joyful chaos of a household bustling with life and chatter and love. After the tragedy, she was “The Taconic Mom,” whose unimaginable loss embodied every parent’s worst nightmare. Suddenly, her lifelong Catholic faith no longer explained the world. Her marriage to her husband, Warren, was ravaged by wrenching grief and recrimination. Unable to cope with the unfathomable, she reinvented reality each night so that she awoke each morning having forgotten the heartbreaking facts: that Emma, age 8; Alyson, age 7; and Katie, age 5, were gone forever. They were killed in a minivan driven by their aunt, Jackie’s sister-in-law, Diane Schuler, while returning from a camping weekend on a sunny July morning. I’ll See You Again chronicles the day Jackie received the traumatizing phone call that defied all understanding, and the numbed and torturous events that followed—including the devastating medical findings that shattered Jackie to the core and shocked America. But this profoundly honest account is also the story of how a tight-knit community rallied around the Hances, providing the courage and strength for them to move forward. It’s a story of forgiveness, hope, and rebirth, as Jackie and Warren struggle to rediscover the possibility of joy by welcoming their fourth daughter, Kasey Rose Hance. The story that Jackie Hance shares for the first time will touch your heart and warm you to the power of love and hope.
