A timely and heartfelt collection of essays inspired by the #MeToo movement, edited by acclaimed young adult and middle-grade author Janet Gurtler. Featuring Beth Revis, Mackenzi Lee, Ellen Hopkins, Saundra Mitchell, Jennifer Brown, Cheryl Rainfield, and many more.
When #MeToo went viral, Janet Gurtler was among the millions of people who began to reflect on her past experiences. Things she had reluctantly accepted-male classmates groping her at recess, harassment at work-came back to her in startling clarity. She needed teens to know what she had not: that no young person should be subject to sexual assault, or made to feel unsafe, less than, or degraded.
You Too? was born out of that need. By turns thoughtful and explosive, these personal stories encompass a wide range of experiences and will resonate with every reader who has wondered, 'Why is this happening to me?' or secretly felt that their own mistreatment or abuse is somehow their fault-it's not. Candid and empowering, You Too? is written for teens, but also an essential resource for the adults in their lives-an urgent, compassionate call to listen and create change.
Join popular teacher and blogger Ally Hamilton as she explores the eight limbs of yoga practice that are integral to the healing process. Facing yourself and doing the work to heal takes bravery and strength, but it's absolutely possible. Yoga's Healing Power shows you how to overcome patterns that aren't serving you and find sustained peace. Physical poses, seated meditation, and breathwork are the best-known aspects of yoga, but in the eight limbs practice, healing comes through a more holistic approach that takes into account ways we relate to ourselves and the world, discernment, clear seeing, and obstacles that block our path. Sharing step-by-step instructions and inspiring stories of healing, this book helps you tap into your own intuition, uncover your particular gifts, and begin to experience joy.
Sofie's getting her feet under her as a PI and business is booming. So much so that she's hired her (formerly) layabout cousin and a one-time petty criminal as 'boys of all work.' Okay, so her reputation's become, well, complicated, everyone in Astoria, Queens, knows that from time to time she shoots one of her own clients, but on the whole, she's getting a lot more respect than when she was best known for leaving her groom at the altar.
In fact, Sofie's just landed her first big criminal case, one so big that it's on the news nearly every night. A young man from not quite the wrong side of the tracks has been accused of murdering his beautiful, wealthy girlfriend. His alibi's a mess and his attitude's worse. But his sister believes he's innocent, and soon, so does Sofie. Now she just has to prove it, or find the real killer.
If only she didn't have a host of distractions: a body disappears from her aunt Sotiria's funeral home (it's only a week before Halloween, so this might be a prank, or it might have something to do with the dead man's mysterious life). Sofie sees her Dino keeping company with her sister Efi (are they flirting? how dare he? how dare she?); and Jake Porter returns, somehow connected to the missing body and, as always, making Sofie go weak in the knees. And since Dino's otherwise occupied. . . .
Meanwhile, young Johnny is facing a life sentence. And Sofie Metropolis, budding PI, is his only hope.

When it comes to Cassidy, Katie can't think straight.
Katie Daniels, a twenty-eight-year-old Kentucky transplant with a strong set of traditional values, has just been dumped by her fiancé when she finds herself seated across a negotiating table from native New Yorker Cassidy Price, a sexy, self-assured woman wearing a man's suit. At first neither of them knows what to make of the other, but soon their undeniable connection will bring into question everything each of them thought they knew about sex and love.
When Katie Met Cassidy is a romantic comedy about gender and sexuality, and the importance of figuring out who we are in order to go after what we truly want. It's also a portrait of a high-drama subculture where barrooms may as well be bedrooms, and loyal friends fill in the spaces absent families leave behind. Katie's glimpse into this wild yet fiercely tightknit community begins to alter not only how she sees the larger world, but also where exactly she fits in.
