Martina Ramsey hasn't had an easy life. She's already lived through her worst nightmare, and if she doesn't find someone to help her now, she is doomed to relive it. Finding someone she could trust is virtually impossible, but when she turns to Cameron Masters, a private investigator who has been through hell himself, she feels he will understand the betrayal she has suffered, the mistrust she feels, the guilt she carries. He should. He's suffered them all himself. She knows from her own experience that the scars he hides underneath his shirt are not the only ones he has. As Cameron fights to protect his beautiful client he discovers he is losing his battle to protect himself from her. Martina is a fascinating, feisty spitfire who has a thing or two to teach him about life, about inner strength-and about love.

For my entire life, my weight and looks have been a hot topic of conversation with my family. I've never felt perfect, never felt like I was enough or even worthy of love. That all changed when I met my husband, Scott. I finally had someone that saw me for who I was, not a number on a scale. Or so I thought. But then my husband left me for someone more beautiful, someone skinnier. It broke me. Newly divorced and ready to find myself, I venture out into my single life. And everything was fine. Until, I met Dr. Nathaniel Bennett . Of course I was attracted to him, but he would never see anything in me. I was the big girl. I had flaws. Nothing could ever happen between us. I would never be pretty enough, skinny enough, to love. Trope content can be found on the authors website or in the prologue.

Relatable, heartbreaking, and real, this is a story of resilience--the perfect novel for readers of powerful contemporary fiction like Girl in Pieces and Every Last Word. Before, I was a million things. Now I'm only one. The Burned Girl. Ava Lee has lost everything there is to lose: Her parents. Her best friend. Her home. Even her face. She doesn't need a mirror to know what she looks like--she can see her reflection in the eyes of everyone around her. A year after the fire that destroyed her world, her aunt and uncle have decided she should go back to high school. Be "normal" again. Whatever that is. Ava knows better. There is no normal for someone like her. And forget making friends--no one wants to be seen with the Burned Girl, now or ever. But when Ava meets a fellow survivor named Piper, she begins to feel like maybe she doesn't have to face the nightmare alone. Sarcastic and blunt, Piper isn't afraid to push Ava out of her comfort zone. Piper introduces Ava to Asad, a boy who loves theater just as much as she does, and slowly, Ava tries to create a life again. Yet Piper is fighting her own battle, and soon Ava must decide if she's going to fade back into her scars . . . or let the people by her side help her fly. "A heartfelt and unflinching look at the reality of being a burn survivor and at the scars we all carry. This book is for everyone, burned or not, who has ever searched for a light in the darkness." --Stephanie Nielson, New York Times bestselling author of Heaven Is Here and a burn survivor

Your battle wounds are scars upon my heart' wrote Vera Brittain in a poem to her beloved brother, four days before he died in June 1918. The rediscovery of TESTAMENT OF YOUTH has reminded a new generation of the bitter sufferings of women as well as men in the terrible madness of the First World War. This, the first anthology of women war poets for over sixty years, will come as a surprise to many. It shows, for example, that women were writing protest poetry before Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, and that the view of 'the women at home', ignorant and idealistic, was quite false. Many of these poems come out of direct experiences of nursing the victims of trench warfare, or the pain of lovers, brothers, sons lost. Poets include: Nancy Cunard, Rose Macaulay, Charlotte Mew, Alice Meynell, Edith Nesbit, Edith Sitwell, Marie Stopes, Katharine Tynan. Here, as elsewhere, 'the poetry is in the pity' - a moving record of women's experience of war.

Lola Montilla, a 13 year-old girl, born with Ebstein's anomaly (a rare congenital heart defect) faced a life-saving, open-heart surgery on November 2013 to correct her heart defect. Rather than trying to hide her scar, Lola found a way, through her scar (and the universal language of "selfies"), to inspire others, raise awareness about congenital heart defects, and redefine beauty for heart warriors like herself, and others who are battling self-image issues. Not only is this book the perfect gift for heart warriors, it's a great tool for teens dealing with body and self-image issues... and others who are working on accepting their own "scars." Text is in both English and Spanish. The images, are universal.
