Download or read book Paperweight written by Meg Haston and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This emotionally haunting and beautifully written young adult debut delves into the devastating impact of trauma and loss, in the vein of Laurie Halse Anderson’s Wintergirls. Seventeen-year-old Stevie is trapped. In her life. In her body. And now in an eating-disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New Mexico desert. Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at meal time, accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she’s worked so hard to avoid. Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn’t plan to stay that long. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh’s death—the death she caused. And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she, too, will end her life. Paperweight follows seventeen-year-old Stevie’s journey as she struggles not only with a life-threatening eating disorder, but with the question of whether she can ever find absolution for the mistakes of her past…and whether she truly deserves to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collector s Guide to Paperweights provides comprehensive price information that is long overdue, from the golden era in the mid-nineteenth century to the multitude of individual artisans working today. After the classic period in the mid-nineteenth century, paperweights virtually disappeared! In the 1970s the paperweight revival was just beginning; from the 1980s to the present, an ever-increasing number of artisans have taken up the art of paperweight-making. Paperweights encompass every possible price category in glassware from inexpensive models under $25 (Chinese floral and others made in Asia as well as some of America s small glass novelty makers Blenko, Boyd, Gibson, St. Clair, etc.) up into the thousands of dollars (antique French, Stankard, 1 on 1 s, etc.) and everything in between. The purpose of this guide is to provide practical pricing on all such categories in both Europe and America. 2007 values.
