If You Feel Too Much is a celebration of hope, wonder, and what it means to be human. The essays in this audiobook invite listeners to believe that it’s okay to admit to pain and okay to ask for help.

The story begins as Colleen and Newell Cerak first learn the doubtful, then shocking news that their daughter, buried five weeks earlier, is still alive. Forming a backdrop to the reunion are the faces of the Van Ryn family, strangers to the Ceraks, who are just coming to terms with the harsh reality that the girl whose bedside they have been posted at for five weeks is not their daughter after all - and that their own daughter, Laura, has already been buried under the name of Whitney Cerak.

Hey guys, you might know me already from one of my social media channels where I talk about the highs and lows of living with Tourette's syndrome. I've loved sharing those times with you and - as there are lots of things I can't fit into a 60-second video - I've decided to write a book! It's the full story of how I came to be diagnosed and how having Tourette's has changed my life. Writing it has given me an opportunity to talk about things I haven't felt ready to share before - for some reason it's easier to put down private things in written words than in a video!

Publisher's Summary
Can good things really come from bad things? Why does God allow bad things to happen? Will Daddy still be able to hear me from heaven?
These are just some of the questions Renee starts thinking about after she finds out that her daddy has cancer. She feels very sad and struggles to understand why this is happening. He hasn't even been her daddy for that long - there's still so much they haven't done yet! All she can think to do is pray and ask God to make her daddy better.
But when she realises he isn't, she begins to wonder what God's plan is, and whether God can hear her prayers at all. She documents all the things that are happening in her diary as she watches her daddy go through the stages of cancer.
Through this painful experience, she learns about the meaning of faith and how she can stay connected to her beloved father after he is gone.

Brilliant book
This book follows Renee, a young girl whose father becomes seriously ill with cancer. She documents her thoughts and feelings in a diary as her father's health deteriorates, and she has to face the possibility of losing him. "Can You Hear Me?" deals with the extremely difficult topic of losing a loved one. It is an extended version of the author’s illustrated book "Can You Hear Me, Daddy?" but this book goes into far more detail on what happens to Renee’s father and how Renee feels about it. This book has more emotional depth. It also has moments of tenderness and humour. Be prepared to shed a few tears, as it is a sad book, but ultimately it’s uplifting because of Renee's faith that her father can still hear her when she talks to him, and that God can hear her too. This brilliant book could be really useful for children struggling to deal with the loss of a loved one, or anyone trying to process grief. Rosie Akerman fills her performance with emotion, and gives a great reading of the book. Highly recommended!

She lived in and out of the hospital for 10 years and, after each stay, would return to a life filled with bullying.

But life unraveled. Again.

What's more: he never received full payment - funds that would ensure surgery for his son.

A three-in-one bundle of suspense and excitement as missionary kid Kennedy Stern faces more danger, mystery, and controversy than this anxiety-prone college student knows how to handle. Confronted with questions of underage abortion, plagued by a stalker and paralyzing PTSD flashbacks, and eventually caught in the center of a police brutality scandal, Kennedy discovers that her first year at Harvard involves a lot more than passing a few lab classes and fulfilling her pre-med requirements.

Vaneetha Risner contracted polio as an infant, was misdiagnosed, and lived with widespread paralysis. She lived in and out of the hospital for 10 years and, after each stay, would return to a life filled with bullying. When she became a Christian, though, she thought things would get easier, and they did: carefree college days, a dream job in Boston, and an MBA from Stanford where she met and married a classmate. But life unraveled. Again.

Rotterham Home was a hospice for young people—a place where teenagers with terminal illnesses went to die. Nobody who checked in ever checked out. It was a place of pain and sorrow, but also, remarkably, a place of humor and adventure. Every night at twelve, a group of young guys and girls at the hospice came together to tell stories. They called themselves the Midnight Club, and their stories could be true or false, inspiring or depressing, or somewhere in-between. One night, in the middle of a particularly scary story, the teenagers make a secret pact with each other....

They find her just as the sun is beginning to rise in the early morning mist. They had begun at dawn, the group of searchers keen to get going. A missing child spurred everyone on.

The first time your children walk to school alone, their first sleepover, when they finally fly the nest. As a parent, you have to believe that everything will be ok.
