Join award-winning author Joy Ross Davis in this personal and heartfelt true story. Joy's mother suffered from dementia, as well as acute hearing loss. Seeking release from the indescribable and never-ending demands of being a full-time caregiver, Joy began to write about her experiences. She had no idea so many people could identify with what she was going through, people in much the same circumstances. She had no idea how many people were comforted by her words—and that humor and laughter could help in the most trying circumstances. This book is an account of that time and those words, which provided much-needed help to so many others.

Lionheart began what is now a collection of poetry that defiantly and unapologetically examines mans dark side-from self-mutilation, anger and hate to the myriad faces of death. Heartfelt and honest sentiments permit readers to peer into the author's heart and soul. Although some of the rhymes seem contradictory to the intense subject matter, Lionhearts macabre view of the universe is consistently rendered throughout with chilling images.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 SHAUGHNESSY COHEN PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING In Can You Hear Me Now?, Celina Caesar-Chavannes digs deep into her childhood and her life as a young Black woman entrepreneur and politician, and shows us that effective and humane leaders grow as much from their mistakes and vulnerabilities as from their strengths. Celina Caesar-Chavannes, already a breaker of boundaries as a Black woman in business, got into politics because she wanted to make a bigger difference in the world. But when she became the first Black person elected to represent the federal riding of Whitby, Ontario, she hadn't really thought about the fact that Ottawa wasn't designed for someone like her. Celina soon found herself both making waves and breaking down, confronting at night, alone in her Ottawa apartment, all the painful beauty of her childhood and her troubled early adult life. She paid the price for speaking out about micro-aggressions and speaking up for her community and her riding, but she also felt exhilaration and empowerment. As she writes, "This is not your typical leadership book where the person is placed in a situation and miraculously comes up with the right response for the wicked problem. This is the story of me falling in love, at last, with who I am, and finding my voice in the unlikeliest of places." Both memoir and leadership book, Can You Hear Me Now? is a funny, self-aware, poignant, confessional and fierce look at how failing badly and screwing things up completely are truly more powerful lessons in how to conduct a life than extraordinary success. They build an utter honesty with yourself and others that allows you to say things nobody else dares to say--the necessary things about navigating the places that weren't built for you and holding firm to your principles. And, if you do that, you will help build a world where inclusion is real. Just as Celina is now trying to do, in all her brilliance and boldness.

This book is about communication between parents and kids during the divorce period. Irene, the protagonist of the story, offers insight that can help children and divorcing parents work together so the children can experience comfort and healing through this emotional time of their lives. The list of 11 things that Irene asks from mum and dad is the message that all parents should keep in their hearts as they proceed in their separation."Irene, we'd like to tell you something" Dad said and Irene hugged her Teddy Bear the tightest she could...., "Mum and I decided it would be best for all of us to stay apart for a while" he said and Irene bugged her little eyes. She was trying to figure out what that should mean to her. Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind at that very moment.... That moment she wanted so bad to scream. She couldn't say a word though.... As Irene was struggling to avoid her parents fights she wrote to her diary "Maybe I have to choose between them so as to put an end to the whole situation. I don't wanna do such thing though; I love them just the way they are." But one day she found a solution....and she also created a list to remind to her parents what is more important for her. The first thing in her list was ".... stop saying bad things to each other. Both of you are my parents; I love you both to the moon and back and both of you are hurting ME when saying all these bad things to each other."Below a review from Readers' FavoriteMum, Dad, Can You Hear Me? by Despina Mavridou calls to all warring parents to pay attention. This book is written like one for kids, but I strongly recommend it for adults who have or plan to have kids. It sheds a light on what children go through in many homes. When the home front is in disarray, the kids suffer the most. While we battle with each other as parents, we must remember our little jewels who didn't beg to be born. A chaotic home is damaging to them, causing a breed of broken adults in society. Despina conveys her message using eye-friendly and colorful illustrations. The plot was well structured, her writing style was playful, and her tone was relaxed. This story is short and powerful, hitting the target with its message. I loved it!
