Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attentionseeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive disciplinarians. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach.

As a teenager, Kristin Berry had heard all the horror stories surrounding foster care and adoption - abuse, neglect, rejection, anger, and misunderstandings. But instead of closing her heart, God opened it wide. This is Kristin's honest, unvarnished story of some of her experiences as a foster parent of 23 children over the course of nine years. What she learned is that living in a foster home is like living with a revolving door. You never know who will arrive or who you will have to say goodbye to. Leaving the door open means there will be heartache and pain, but also adventure and unexpected joy.

Then Liam's three-year absence turns into something more, changing everything and plunging her into a sunless grief. As Mara struggles to find her footing, she discovers that even when hope is tenuous, faith is fragile, and the future is unknown, we can be sure we are not forgotten...or unloved.

At only eight months old, identical twin sisters Ariel and Zan Henley were diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome — a rare condition where the bones in the head fuse prematurely. They were the first twins known to survive it. Growing up, Ariel and her sister endured numerous medical procedures to keep them alive. Doctors expanded the twins’ skulls and broke bones to make room for their growing organs. After each surgery, the sisters felt like strangers to each other, unable to recognize themselves in the mirror.

At only eight months old, identical twin sisters Ariel and Zan Henley were diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome — a rare condition where the bones in the head fuse prematurely. They were the first twins known to survive it. Growing up, Ariel and her sister endured numerous medical procedures to keep them alive. Doctors expanded the twins’ skulls and broke bones to make room for their growing organs. After each surgery, the sisters felt like strangers to each other, unable to recognize themselves in the mirror.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

This is what Laura Sobeich prayed when she found out her 17-year-old son had only one year to live. With this desperate prayer, she released her son to God’s will. At that point, Zach Sobiech was just another teenager battling cancer. When his mother told him to think about writing good-bye letters to family and friends, he decided instead to write songs. One of them, "Clouds", captured hearts and changed not one life but millions, making him an international sensation.

Beautifully written and performed.
Absolutely loved Katherine Quie’s memoir, Raising Will: Surviving the Brilliance and Blues of ADHD. Expertly crafted, it is written with heart, humor, and educates the reader on the realities of ADHD, its markers. This is a love letter to Quie’s son, her family, and to any readers who’ve ever experienced the struggle toward self-discovery, particularly with regard to embracing the beauty of one’s innate differences from other human beings. Audio version is expertly performed by the author. A beautiful and uplifting story.

Plot with Heart and Humor
This was an excellent story of overcoming obstacles - and the people who love us so much to persevere in getting us there. Even though I don’t have experience with ADHD or motherhood, I enjoyed it tremendously. It was plot driven with beautiful prose. The author has a great sense of humor throughout a difficult story.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a character-driven story, told with heart and humor. And for those who enjoy seeing the good guy conquer the odds. Of course, it must be even more touching and insightful for folks dealing with ADHD or for the people who love them.

Opportunities for co-listening & discussion
Co-listened to Katherine Quie’s laugh-at-loud memoir while driving in the car with my 2 pre-teen daughters (ages 10 and 12).... I appreciated the simple honesty, humility and heart-warming reflectivity in the author’s voice ( Quie read her book for Audible- which is always a plus ). As a family, we took full advantage of the many invaluable opportunities to discuss the themes, emotions and memories that it conjured up. This memoir offers, for lack of a better description “empathy training” for everyone... period , end of story. Additionally, this book offers concrete take-ways, life lessons & perspectives for families and friends of folks who have kids who are diagnosed or perhaps undiagnosed with ADHD type traits. Both my husband and myself have families over-flowing with ADHD type traits and this is the first book that has provided the raw honesty and humor to get all engaged in the conversation.
