In this true story of a series of obstacles, both physical and metaphorical, Kate prepares herself for a life''s work of summiting Everest. Born into a close-knit and happy family and raised in the Lake District, she struggled throughout school with dyspraxia: a lack of fine motor control, poor coordination, balance, and trouble staying organised. Kate, her brother and parents were then presented with the challenge of understanding their youngest family addition, a profoundly autistic girl named Martha. In this epic, Kate explores the social and material struggles of coping with bullying, heartbreak, finding employment following graduation, with a bereavement, and with struggling to accept herself. This is a narration of the consequences and the rewards of deciding to choose one''s own unconventional path in a world and a society that does not automatically welcome its fledglings. It is also a story of mud, sweat, tears, hills and miles. Kate vividly chronicles how striving to achieve through adventure can bring enlightenment, peace and a tremendous sense of freedom.

NINA When I was twenty-eight years old, I wrote my own winning lottery ticket. A simple idea thrust me onto the fast track to wealth, and into a world I had only ever dreamt about. I submerged myself in the unfamiliar, a life that seemed all too alluring ... until it lost its appeal. I made my fortune, built my castle, and then exiled myself within its comforts once reality set in. Far too late, I discovered I was drowning in a sea of hungry sharks. Given the choice to sink or swim, I chose the latter ... and it cost me everything. Devin McIntyre, the most dangerous shark of them all, was the last nail in my naïve coffin. His beautiful smile and amazing cock tainted me in ways I could have never imagined. I craved him. I needed him. I loved him. Miserable with the outcome of my prosperity, I set out to change what disgusted me most--the first decision being to rid myself of Devin. Little did I know that taking that first step would make me a slave to a man far more tempting ... or that my addiction to Devin would threaten to ruin it all. DEVIN I was a prick, but I never hurt anyone that didn''t deserve it. Well ... until Nina. I was a very smart man who made a very bad decision, but the mistakes I was paying for were not just my own. My behavior toward her, no matter how unforgivable, had always been about protecting her--from me, from my wife, and from the long line of mistakes I would never be able to rectify. Nina was finally done with me, and I knew it was for the best. I could finally keep her safe from depraved people like me. I needed her as far removed from the situation as possible. I tried to force myself to be content with her decision to move on ... until I found out whom she was moving on with.

I was drawn to darkness, and he was the abyss. Safe. It''s a liar''s word. No one is ever truly safe. Control is how I survived. I lived my life by two principles: order and excellence. My moral compass steered me out of the backwoods of Tennessee and towards the woman I was destined to become, but not without gathering a few skeletons along the way. Eventually, I found success, but my restless, relentless nature still left me feeling unsatisfied. Then I met a ghost of a man, an enigma. He wanted me submissive. I wanted to know him. At first, I was convinced Daniello was a figment of my imagination, a beautiful and dangerous apparition with an animalistic hunger and insatiable thirst. He threatened my need for order, and in his absence, I became more haunted by my past. My love for him made me flesh and bone-vulnerable. I was finally a woman with something to lose and would do anything to keep it. But when my past caught up with my present, it became clear that control was a farce, and safe would forever remain an illusion.

Now a #1 Bestseller in Alpha and Workplace Romance and a Amazon Top 100 Bestseller! I don''t remember booking a first-class ticket to hell¿ An all-expense paid trip to Europe. What could be more enticing than that? Well, other than having the surgeon I fantasize about daily as my travel companion. But to me, that''s all Lucian Aston is-a highly sophisticated, posh Englishman who stars in my daydreams. Mostly because of the way he views me as a loud, boisterous, no-nonsense surgical nurse he''s stuck touring London and Paris with up to the day of his groundbreaking surgery. Until then, we''ve got a lot of downtime to kill. So, it''s only natural that I put my best foot forward to get to know him a little better. Problem is, Lucian has no intention of taking a single step in his fancy wingtips to meet me halfway. That is until we strike our deal¿ For the next six weeks, it''ll be a no-holds-barred, balls-to-the-wall reckoning between me and the prickly heart doctor as I get to know the man behind the scowl and scalpel. But that''s the thing about the good doctor''s surgical specialty and his skill in the heart department. The more we spend time together, the more I run the risk of losing mine. Even so, I''m prepared for anything. Or at least I think I am. You see, there are the best-laid plans for the dream getaway you drum up in your mind, and then there''s reality. But in all my careful planning, I don''t, at all, recall booking a first-class ticket to hell. *Euro Dreams is a stand alone, SPICY, ROMANTIC DRAMEDY with ALL OF THE FEELS.

Thirty years ago, my father became the other half of a broken love story. A relationship he''s kept hidden for decades. Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper''s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father''s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up. Doomed from the start and knowing the havoc our relationship would inevitably wreak on our families, I could never have prepared for the toll it would take or the cost of the truth. But in order to find our ending, we had to go back to their beginning.

The present research sought to explain recent findings that mentally subtracting a past positive event increased one aspect of well-being -- namely, positive affect -- compared to simply reflecting on a past positive event and to an affectively neutral reflection (Koo et al., 2008). Based on evidence that both the emotion of gratitude and counterfactual reasoning create meaning, I hypothesized that imagining the ways in which a good thing might not have occurred would increase positive affect by increasing the meaningfulness of the event. Contrary to predictions, participants who only reflected on a past positive event, in addition to participants who also reflected on the absence of a past positive event, reported increased positive affect compared to participants who engaged in an affectively neutral task (i.e. reflected on what they did the previous day). The increase in positive affect among participants in the gratitude conditions was mediated by the meaningfulness of the events they described. The implications of these findings for understanding the emotion of gratitude, gratitude interventions, and the role of meaning in each are discussed.

“I grew up sick. Let me clarify. I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy. Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness. When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow. Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep.” – Amazon.com

"I was born to play and bred to win. My priorities were instilled in me early on--family and football. Those ideals led me to TGU and a coach whose ironclad principles mirrored my own. With one last college season to play, my goal was singular--get drafted. By realizing my NFL dream, I could save my family, our ranch, and the only home I’d ever known. Two birds, one ball. Playing hard was my only option, but there’s always a wild card. For all of my planning and hard work, I never anticipated falling for the coach''s daughter. Harper was a fair catch, but who knew loving her could be the one play to throw my career before it started or that the weight of our secret would change the game."--Back cover.

A content analysis of popular coming-of-age movies was conducted to determine how key elements of adolescence are depicted on screen. The results revealed that actors playing teen characters were often adults whose body measurements were significantly different from that of the typical adolescent. Teenage characters were rarely shown to be dealing with bodily changes commonly associated with puberty. The majority of adolescent protagonists did have love interests, and they typically found romantic success in pursuing their romantic interests. The findings are discussed with respect to social comparison and social learning theories.

Previous experiments demonstrate that college students benefit academically from learning that early challenges in college are common and impermanent, rather than diagnostic of a lack of belonging. The current project expanded this focus by examining interpersonal functioning -- namely, relationship goals and responsiveness -- as one mechanism underlying the academic benefits of social belonging. A large-scale experiment (N = 604) utilizing a social belonging intervention for first-year college students tested this possibility. The intervention increased two measures of course credits completed (but not GPA) among socially and economically disadvantaged students. Among participants who also completed the relationship questionnaires in the spring (N = 288), the belonging intervention increased responsiveness but did not affect compassionate or self-image goals with roommates. None of the relationship variables mediated the effects of the intervention on academic outcomes. Findings pertaining to relationship outcomes are discussed in light of missing data on the follow-up relationship measures. Results suggest that social belonging interventions may increase credit completion among students from marginalized backgrounds, and associations of compassionate and self-image goals with academic achievement depend, in part, on students'' cultural backgrounds. Limitations of this study and future directions are discussed.
