And now for a little about each of the books that are being released.


Fighting Chance -- A Rock & Roll Saved My Soul Anthology:


On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. this equates to more than 10 million women and men per year.

 Domestic violence isn’t just about being physically abused. It’s also about the emotional and psychological side, too. Come on a journey with others who have experienced domestic violence and are willing to share their stories, to show everyone else out there that they have a chance.

Fighting Chance is a book of stories and poetry for those who have dealt with domestic violence and are sharing how they stood up to it and have moved on with their life. It wasn’t easy for most of us. And some of us still may struggle with it, but we want to reach out to others who may be going through something similar and let them know you don’t have to put up with it. Find your voice and fight back.


Behind Closed Doors by Kate Marie Robbins: 

Everyone knows everyone else's business. This is the world that Ivy Martin grew up in. Her life was far from perfect. Bullied mercilessly in high school. All she wanted was to leave the town and all the cruel kids behind and start a new life.

But when she goes to the annual graduation party things take a turn for the worse. One of her only male friends, Landon takes advantage of her, leaving her feeling dirty and used.

College wasn't any different. The kids are just as cruel. Then she meets a man and hopes that her luck had finally changed, but Davin isn't who Ivy thought he was. And before she knows what is happening she's trapped in an abusive relationship with almost no way to escape. Isolated from her friends and family, she has nowhere to turn.

This is one woman's story of the devastating heart break that domestic abuse can bring.

Survivor by Renee Jean: 

Jasmine Byers couldn't think of anything better than going to a party with her best friend, that is until she arrived and met Tyler Winegard, the most handsome boy she had ever seen.

Everything started out perfect. He was sweet, attentive, and made Jasmine feel like she was the only girl in the world. Slowly, however, she noticed that everyone around her had begun to pull away. She found her entire world revolved around a boy she was starting to suspect had a more sinister side. 

After just a few short years Jasmine's dream man turned into a nightmare and now she finds herself fighting not only for her sanity, but also her life.

Finding Rachel by Brianna Vanderland:

I needed to find Rachel once more...

Maybe it was my fault.  I married too young and had my son too young.  Not that I would trade Daiel for the world.  Jason was everything at first, but he changed.

He became violent, he hurt me and our son, something I'd never forgive him for, but I knew I needed to get away and become as strong as iron. 

I needed to find myself again.

Drug Use in High School and College

Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family memories and history.
