Ashford Hollowsville Three friends. Three continents. One small town that isn't ready for them. Kim Hyun-Bin leaves the fast pace of Seoul behind, armed with optimism (and maybe a baseball bat, just in case). Sudarshan Mukherjee says goodbye to India with a hopeful heart and a suitcase full of dreams. Lawrence arrives with confidence, humor, and zero tolerance for nonsense. When the trio finally reunites in the quiet Kentucky town of Ashford Hollowsville, they expect adventure. What they don't expect? Side-eyes at the diner. Awkward questions. Assumptions that sting. But Ashford Hollowsville isn't just a town of suspicion - it's also a place of unexpected kindness, new friendships, chaotic road trips, cultural mishaps, town festivals gone wrong, and moments that test what loyalty really means. Through sharp humor and heartfelt moments, the three friends learn that fighting racism doesn't always mean fighting people - sometimes it means changing perspectives, building bridges, and proving that belonging isn't about where you're from... it's about who you stand with. Funny. Bold. Hopeful. Welcome to Ashford Hollowsville.

In the schoolyard, there is a bench no one ever uses. Some say it is reserved. Others say it does not belong to anyone. When Élise arrives at school, she sits there. Élise lives with a rare and invisible illness. She looks like everyone else, but her body gets tired more quickly, and noise and movement can be overwhelming. The bench at the back becomes her quiet place, a space to breathe, rest, and simply exist. Through the eyes of Olivia, a curious and compassionate classmate, this gentle story explores invisible illness, rare diseases, empathy, and the importance of respecting different rhythms. As rumors spread and misunderstandings arise, one simple bench becomes a powerful symbol of inclusion, understanding, and quiet courage. This story is written for children aged 6 to 11, but it also speaks to adults. It invites families, teachers, and young readers to talk about differences that cannot be seen, kindness, and the right to slow down. A soft, meaningful story about friendship, invisible struggles, and the light that can shine even when someone feels weak.

"Fragmented" is a poetry book that dives deep into the traumas and metal health struggles of the author. It was made with the intention to spread mental health awareness as well as let people know they aren't alone. This book specifically highlights struggles with perfectionism, depression, Eating disorders, abandonment, and heartbreak. Many people are affected by mental health and although you may not be able to see the pain like physical marks {cuts or bruises}; it is still something that drastically affects people everywhere. With that said I hope this book helps someone out there.

[TW!!: SELF HARM, SUICIDAL TOPICS, ETC] I'm Cyzen, a trans teenager who struggles. I'm still learning about my life; the one that has been shaped by both resilience and hardship. I carry the weight of past trauma and live with mental disorders, but that doesn't define me - not anymore. People can only see what's on the outside. Nobody knows the way it really is; to deal with these things in the real world. It's not having these problems that make you weak, but the way the world treats you for it. Yet beneath this pain lies a quiet strength- the kind born from surviving when survival never felt guaranteed. My journey is raw and imperfect, but it doesn't mean it should be silenced.

Physically and emotionally. No explanation. No warning. Just silence. Felix refuses to let her go without a fight. But JJ's silence isn't anger. It's fear.

***Sequel to Beyond Average*** SPOILER ALERT IF YOU DID NOT FINISH BEYOND AVERAGE™!!!! ©2017 [Image Description of cover: blue and green striped background with the title that reads: Aly-Oops!] Hi😎🤓 Yes. The rumors are true, there is a Beyond Average sequel. But. There's a bit of a twist... . . . This isn't Asher Westman talking right now. This is ALY ROTH!!!😍😍 So I'm about to move to Philadelphia and I honestly don't have much of a clue as to what I'm doing here!! In case you forgot, I'm from Ohio!! That's all the waaaay way west of Pennsylvania and Philly is all the way east. (I'm nerdy, I had to throw in some geography!) So I have an entire summer to figure out what my new life will be like. At least I'll have cute little Asher here to help me learn the ropes. One summer. One amazing basketball boyfriend. Tons of amazing memories Or at least that's what I was expecting. I used to think that jocky boys were always finding themselves in trouble. And I'm thinking that Ash may not be an exception. With the way some things are heading, I'm just hoping Asher's big Alleyoop doesn't turn into one of my giant Aly-Oops!

This is my personal cancer journey, a warts and all journey from start to remission. Documenting the highs and lows of my journey through life after diagnosis of state 3 endometrial cancer, through all the treatment, and everything along the way from diagnosis to official remission. My hopes is that I can help women catch this "old persons cancer" early, as it is NO LONGER just an old persons cancer, in fact a woman of any age with a womb can actually have this life altering diagnosis. I was in fact 37 when I had this diagnosis myself.
