Kann man sich verlieben, obwohl man es nicht möchte und genau weiß, dass die Person einen nie zurück lieben wird? Wer diese Frage mit "Ja" beantworten kann, weiß aus Erfahrung, wie sich ein Herz anfühlt, das vor Liebe überläuft, aber niemanden hat, der es auffüllt, wenn es sich leert. Liebe ist stark, sie ist schön und mitreißend. Nur kann sie einen in etwas reißen, aus dem man sich selbst wieder retten muss. Ein gebrochenes Herz. Es heilt mit der Zeit nur sehen und fühlen wir dies meist nicht, doch es passiert. Wunden heilen, Schmerz verblasst und Ruhe klopft an deine Tür. Dieses Buch widmet sich dem Gefühl von Liebe für eine Person, die man niemals hätte lieben sollen und doch geschieht es, denn Herzen sind resistent gegen rationale Gedanken. Gedichte halten die Schönheit und Unverständlichkeit aller Gefühle fest, weswegen dieses Buch als Ganzes ein Spiegel für jeden ist, der liebt, ohne den Sinn dahinter zu suchen, zu leiden und zu heilen, als hätte es Wunden nie gegeben. Für dich.

Life I never quite understood the purpose of it all. The highs, the lows, and the in-betweens. If you have fallen into a black hole, how do you climb out? When the lows overshadow the highs. When the once bright sun sets and doesn't rise? When you have lost so much, you're struggling to count your blessings. When you wonder why it happened to you out of eight billion people. When your heart has burned to ashes. Filled with poetry and short stories, this book explores the psyche of a young girl struggling with mental health issues after descending into the hell of loss and trauma, yet longing to rise from the ashes.

'Facets Faces' is about breaking forced silence and speaking openly about grief, weaknesses, fears, and hopelessness while lying sleepless in bed at night. It is about truths young adults must learn while growing up and the beauty that affects our everyday lives. With her poetry, the author wants to convey to her readers that it is okay to be yourself as long as you are authentic and that life presents us all with challenges. But most importantly, she wants to reach those who feel they are not being heard.

Gen Z: more and more progress in the world but less heart, less empathy, less humanity. Being confronted with tons of information due to social media and no space to built your own opinion. A tough time for being a teenager. And no guide available. A summary of the main problems one has to deal with while growing up in this generation in a philosophical and poetic but also fact-supported way. Intentionally reflecting some of the collective behaviours and cause more awareness to them. For reading this book it's important to understand that every period of time has its problems and struggles but passing them down to the next generation and closing our eyes to them is not the best way to deal with them.

Women’s lives are often written on our bodies. Yet very little is made of the impacts of embodiment for women in literacy education, both learners and professionals. This volume presents the writings of 26 contributors—teachers, students, and administrators—who examine the rich terrain of personal and professional experiences related to whole person engagement in learning and teaching. These writings provide a compass to guide readers through the bodily landscapes, mindful flights, willful spirits, and emotional embraces. Written with the same desire to open minds, hearts and practices to new understanding, this book builds on the successful style of Empowering Women through Literacy (2009). This new volume appeals to all readers, as the essays, poems, and investigations woven through its pages challenge us to consider the embodyment of women’s learning. Join us on the journey as we travel across many arenas and discover significant ways to comprehend and support best practices in teaching and learning, especially for women.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith turns to realistic fiction with the thoughtful story of a Native teen navigating the complicated, confusing waters of high school — and first love. When Louise Wolfe’s first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It’s her senior year, anyway, and she’d rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper’s staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director’s inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students — especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou’s little brother, who’s playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey — but as she’s learned, “dating while Native” can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joey’s?
