  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Oona Out of Order" by Margarita Montimore tells the story of Oona Lockhart, who experiences a unique form of time travel, leaping to a different year of her life every New Year's Eve. This condition throws her through a non-linear journey, forcing her to navigate life out of chronological order. The narrative follows Oona as she adapts to different time periods and situations, and as she forms relationships with others. The novel explores the challenges of this condition, particularly in maintaining meaningful relationships, as she struggles to connect with those she loves, including her romantic partners and her own son. The story also explores themes of identity, loss, and the importance of living in the moment, as Oona learns to accept her unusual circumstances and embrace life's uncertainties.

  The Philadelphia State Hospital...

  J.P. Webster

  This account of the infamous asylum is "an excellent record of greed and corruption, but it is also a powerful testimonial to compassion and kindness" (Hidden City). 
   
   
   
  The Quaker City and its hospitals were pioneers in the field of mental health. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, its institutions were crowded and patients lived in shocking conditions. The mentally ill were quartered with the dangerously criminal. By 1906, the city had purchased a vast acreage of farmland incorporated into the city, and the Philadelphia Hospital dubbed its new venture Byberry City Farms. From the start, its history was riddled with corruption and committees, investigations and inquests, appropriations and abuse. Yet it is also a story of reform and redemption, of heroes and human dignity—many dedicated staff members did their best to help patients whose mental illnesses were little understood and were stigmatized by society. 
   
   
   
  "Webster . . . wrote his book because of his fascination with an abandoned building he discovered in 2002. He wanted to tell the story of Byberry, one he believes many people do not fully understand." —Philadelphia Neighborhoods

  Raising children is never an easy task; as many parents will tell you, it is a lifetime commitment and one that can sometimes be thankless. Now, raising a neuro-divergent child makes parenting several times more challenging. 
  Neuro-divergence is the difference in brain function from what we consider standard or typical. A neuro-divergent child shows different mental characteristics from what would be considered typical, called neuro-typical. ODD and ADHD are two examples of neuro-divergent disorders that are common among the population. 
  Raising a child with an ODD and ADHD combination is infinitely more challenging than usual and requires greater tact and patience. Children with ODD and ADHD often show developmental problems, defiance of authority, disregard for what is considered normal, and, if not checked, can develop problems in their social life. 
  So, if you are wondering:What exactly are ODD and ADHDHow do I tell the difference between the two?What behavioral problems do the two disorders display? 
  And other similar questions, then read on. 
  This book will cover:What ODD and ADHD are?How ODD with ADHD presents itself.Behavioral problems that an oppositional child displaysLearning how to raise a child with ODD and ADHD combined 
  And so much more. 
  I hope you enjoy it!

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt tells the story of Eli and Charlie Sisters, two contract killers who embark on a journey from Oregon to California during the Gold Rush.

The novel explores themes of violence, loyalty, family, and the search for meaning in a world driven by greed and ambition. It also examines the impact of the Gold Rush on individuals and the complex moral questions that arise when the desire for wealth clashes with human decency. The story contrasts the brothers' differing personalities and their journey to find their own path.
