DOWNLOAD EBOOKCelia Anzalone has lived anything from a boring life. In the center of a messy divorce as a child to extreme drug problems as a young adult, Celia recounts her life as a drug addict. Recovery may be a long road, but with the help of God Celia is able to find balance in her life, while letting go of the past and accepting who she is now. Not leaving anything out, Celia tells the bizarre-and at times, embarrassing-story that was her life-stolen cars, abusive boyfriends, forgotten friends, and much more.

This whirlwind journey is bound to inspire readers as she weaves in and out of memories of a past life in this tantalizing memoir. Celia's Eyes is an inspiring story that shows how one girl, with all the odds against her, can turn them in her favor, building a new life from the ground up. She doesn't hide anything in this thought-provoking story of hitting rock bottom again and again, to finally get up for once and for all.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBefore there was Eleanor and Park, there was Francesca and Will. A compelling story of romance, family, and friendship, with humor and heart, perfect for fans of If I Stay, The Spectacular Now, and Looking for Alaska. Francesca is stuck at St. Sebastian’s, a boys' school that pretends it's coed by giving the girls their own bathroom. Her only female companions are an ultra-feminist, a rumored slut, and an impossibly dorky accordion player. The boys are no better, from Thomas, who specializes in musical burping, to Will, the perpetually frowning, smug moron that Francesca can't seem to stop thinking about. Then there's Francesca's mother, who always thinks she knows what's best for Francesca—until she is suddenly stricken with acute depression, leaving Francesca lost, alone, and without an inkling of who she really is. Simultaneously humorous, poignant, and impossible to put down, this is the story of a girl who must summon the strength to save her family, her social life, and—hardest of all—herself. Melina Marchetta is the Printz-winning author of Jellicoe Road, as well as Looking for Alibrandi and Finnikin of the Rock.
