Welch, author of Love & Gelato  Winchester has always
been home for Flora, but when her mother dies, Flora feels
untethered. Her family expects her to apply to university and take
a larger role in their tea-shop business, but Flora isn’t so
sure. More than ever, she’s the chaotic 'hurricane' in her
household, and she doesn’t always know how to manage her stormy
emotions. So she decides to escape to Miami without telling anyone
– especially her longtime friend Gordon Wallace. Â

passions she should follow. That’s also true in romance.

A New York Times bestseller A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine
Book Club YA Pick Love & Gelato meets Don't Date Rosa Santos in
this charming, heartfelt story following a Miami girl who
unexpectedly finds love-and herself-in a small English town. For
Lila Reyes, a summer in England was never part of the plan. The
plan was 1) take over her abuela's role as head baker at their
panaderia, 2) move in with her best friend after graduation, and 3)
live happily ever after with her boyfriend. But then the Trifecta
happened, and everything-including Lila herself-fell apart. Worried
about Lila's mental health, her parents make a new plan for her:
spend three months with family friends in Winchester, England, to
relax and reset. But with the lack of sun, a grumpy inn cook, and a
small town lacking Miami flavor (both in food and otherwise), what
would be a dream trip for some feels more like a nightmare to
Lila...until she meets Orion Maxwell. A teashop clerk with troubles
of his own, Orion is determined to help Lila out of her funk, and
appoints himself as her personal tour guide. From Winchester's
drama-filled music scene to the sweeping English countryside, it
isn't long before Lila is not only charmed by Orion, but England
itself. Soon a new future is beginning to form in Lila's mind-one
that would mean leaving everything she ever planned behind.
Love isn't always part of the plan . . . A charming, heartwarming
story following a Miami girl who unexpectedly finds love - and
herself - in a small English town. Soon to be a movie starring
Heartstopper's Kit Connor and Pretty Little Liars' Maia Reficco!
For Lila Reyes, a summer in England hadn't been on the cards.
Certainly not one stuck in the small town of Winchester with a lack
of sun and zero Miami flavour. But when Lila meets Orion Maxwell in
the local tea shop, her nightmare trip starts to look up. With a
bright new future suddenly on the horizon, will Lila leave behind
everything she's ever planned and follow her heart? A New York

This book explores the role of the ideology of nature in producing
urban and exurban sprawl. It examines the ironies of residential
development on the metropolitan fringe, where the search for
"nature" brings residents deeper into the world from which they are
imagining their escape-of Federal Express, technologically mediated
communications, global supply chains, and the anonymity of the
global marketplace-and where many of the central features of
exurbia-very low-density residential land use, monster homes, and
conversion of forested or rural land for housing-contribute to the
very problems that the social and environmental aesthetic of
exurbia attempts to avoid. The volume shows how this
contradiction-to live in the green landscape, and to protect the
green landscape from urbanization-gets caught up and represented in
the ideology of nature, and how this ideology, in turn, constitutes
and is constituted by the landscapes being urbanized.
Interest in cognitive development has been resurgent in recent
years as a result of continuing improvements in technology and the
new methods of research these enable. Introducing Cognitive
Development brings a new focus and clarity to this theoretically
complex area. Using numerous illustrations and examples it
describes the specific changes that occur in cognition from infancy
through childhood. The reader is introduced to the topic with a
review of traditional approaches to the study of cognitive
development and a consideration of recent advances in the field,
particularly in cognitive science. Key issues, including the
relative contributions of nature and nurture, domain generality
versus domain specificity and the child's own role in his/her
development, are considered in relation to a range of topics such
as: the development of representational abilities; theory of mind
and social cognition; and development of language. This book
provides an accessible introduction to cognitive development
suitable for undergraduate students in psychology and related
disciplines, as well as anyone involved in working with children.

Laura's third collection with Flapjack Press is a rallying call for
action and challenges inequality, oppression and division with
passion, objectivity, empathy and humour. This is socially
conscious and uncompromising poetry, which explores the slippery
and inconclusive condition of language, the power of ideology and
the process of myth-making, addressing the wellbeing of a diverse
nation governed by a political and social elite and their
culpability.
A collection of uncompromising poetry observing the negativity and
self-fulfilling futility of division counterpoised with the
importance of care and empathy to explore what really matters.
Includes a Foreword by Professor Mike Thomas, Vice Chancellor
UCLAN. Fault Lines is Laura's second collection of poetry from
Flapjack Press. "One of the country's finest poets, both on the
page and on the stage. A spirit at once empathetic and
revolutionary. Real words for heart-breaking times, a call to
action!" - Attila the Stockbroker, poet & musician "A poetic
battle cry. I'd like my teenage daughter to read these poems
because, as women, we shouldn't have to wait for middle-age to
claim the right to be ourselves." - Alice Nutter, ex-Chumbawamba,
screenwriter & playwright "Defiant, furious, vulnerable,
bloody-minded and wonderfully joyous, this volume encourages us all
to hang on in there. Fill your heart. Read this book." - Steve
Pottinger, poet & performer "This is poetry that does not just
describe our world: it challenges you to change it. And it does so
with such class." - Janine Booth, writer, poet & activist
"Laura has the key quality to be a true poet: something to say.
This book is of and for the times we are living through and ought
to be on school curricula." - Julian Jordon, Director of Write Out
Loud "Personal, political, social and relational. Her strength and
consistency as a poet is raising sometimes difficult but often
comic issues to our attention." - Professor Mike Thomas, V-C of
UCLAN
