In this true story, four generations of women grapple with the
invisible wounds of inherited trauma—from a grandmother and mother who
survived unimaginable horror, to the author’s parents’ tragic death,
which catapulted her and her daughter into a freefall.
For more than 30 years, Hyams Romoff has lived in the fast-paced,
glittering world of Public Relations. As the founder of OverCat
Communications, she stages high-profile events for A-list celebrities.
But beneath the glamour lies a far more enduring legacy, one that even
the most fabulous wardrobe can’t disguise. Her family’s trauma flows
like ripples across water, spreading until it eclipses the light and
casts shadows over the women in her family. This is the “Ripple
Eclipse”—the quiet, powerful force of trauma that shapes and sometimes
threatens to darken the lives of those who carry it.
With a series of 'music in care' books aimed at supporting adults
through a range of life's situations using music, John Osborne has
collaborated with a new young author to bring fresh perspective on
how the power of music can affect a young person's life. Coping
with moving to a new school can be a difficult and challenging time
for any young person but it can be even more problematic if you are
on the autistic spectrum. This book tells the story of Luke Fiddes
a remarkable young man and talented musician. It explains how Luke
became aware of his different and special status and how he learnt
to manage this. It also contains a self help manual for all young
people which is designed to help deal with the struggles of
adolescence using personalised music. This heartwarming, funny and
frank account of Luke's journey gives a remarkable insight into
some of the challenges but also the surprising benefits of living
with Asperger syndrome. "I love my autism because I love music."

This book explores how we should review our priorities in the
increasingly hectic and fast changing, yet ever smaller, world in
which we live. It has been written with younger people at heart,
those of us asking questions about our place in the world and how
we might better live our lives in a manner that minimises stress
and helps us to be valued by our peers by helping others to help
themselves. The book provides insights into sources of harmony
within our lives, that we can use to maintain our moral compass and
improve our decision-making. "You, Who You Are, and Why You Matter"
is promoted by The CareAbout Foundation.
A TRANSFORMATIONAL PROGRAM TO HEAL YOUR PAST, REMAKE YOUR PRESENT, AND
CREATE THE FUTURE YOU DESERVE.
A consultant to billion-dollar companies and the brightest lights of
Hollywood, Laura Day—in her bestselling, breakthrough book Practical
Intuition—explained how anyone can train themselves to gain full access
to the powers of their intuitive mind. Only Day’s closest friends,
however, knew that behind the book’s phenomenal success was a dark
family history—one that provided her with profound insights into human
nature and an understanding of what it takes to achieve your dreams, no
matter how challenging your past or present.
Now, Day has combined those insights with her intuitive program to
create a life-changing method of self-discovery and renewal. Developed
over a decade with thousands of students and based on a unique approach
that combines scientific principles, wisdom from ancient traditions,
and her own remarkable intuitive gifts, The Prism reveals seven points
in our development that can either hinder us or be harnessed to create
healthy lives. Day teaches us how to resolve our vulnerabilities and
replace them with potent new structures that will help us find joy,
attract success, and materialize our goals.
Every human is born to thrive, according to Day. The Prism is your
guide to creating that future.
