    An inspiring battle cry for sanity in the college application process that looks beyond the rankings to successfully determine what’s truly the best school for you or your childAfter spending years as an admissions director at Dartmouth, Becky Sabky had seen it all. The perfect grades, the perfect scores, and the perfect extracurriculars. Valedictorians were knocking at the gate, but Becky realized that in their quest for admission many of these students were missing something. Their transcripts were golden, their interviews polished, but they weren’t applying for college, they were competing for it—and in the end they didn’t know what prize they were really striving for.In Valedictorians at the Gate, Sabky looks beyond the smoke and mirrors of the intimidating admissions gauntlet and places the power firmly where it should be: in the hands of the students themselves. Offering prescriptive, actionable advice for students and their (hopefully not helicoptering) parents, Sabky illuminates the pathway to finding the school that is the ideal match. Witty and warm, informative and inspiring, Valedictorians at the Gate is the needed tonic for overstressed, overworked, and overwhelmed students on their way to the perfect college for them.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company

    Mental illness spares no one: children, adolescents, adults, and even the elderly. Chances are, you may have a friend, parent, sibling, relative, coworker, or spouse who has it. When a loved one is affected, it changes the dynamic of the relationships we have. 
    Oftentimes, psychiatric disorders are powerful enough to wreak havoc on the entire household simply because people don’t know enough about it, and how to deal with it. When these issues aren’t addressed properly, it can lead to a painful cycle of blame and hurt. 
    The most common mental illness is borderline personality disorder (BPD), which affects 2% of the American population each year. It is characterized by the inability to maintain stable personal relationships and extremely impulsive behavior; which is why it is commonly referred to as emotionally unstable personality disorder or emotional intensity disorder, among others. Symptoms of borderline personality disorder usually manifest themselves during adolescence or early childhood, but it can also occur later in life for others. BPD is associated with self-harm and suicide, but when diagnosed and treated early on the prognosis is quite good. 
    In his book entitled Borderline Personality Disorder: Everything You Need To Know About Borderline Personality Disorder author Richard Smith details all the aspects surrounding this mysterious yet common illness. 
    Here are some of things you will learn about: 
    • Symptoms of borderline personality disorder 
    • Conventional and alternative treatment options 
    • Living with someone who has BPD 
    • How to communicate with someone who has BPD 
    • The impact of BPD in families 
    • How to convince your child to get treatment 
    • Choosing the right therapist 
    • How family and friends can help loved ones with BPD

    “Mitchell does a convincing job sorting fact from fiction, diffusing fear, and challenging the manipulative language of fundraisers who aim for pocketbooks rather than intellectual honesty . . . Mitchell’s research is rooted in science, while her writing remains grippingly personal.” — Quill & Quire

When John enters the world of alternative treatments, Alanna does, too, looking for the science in untested waters. She comes face to face with the misconceptions we share about cancer, which are rooted in blame and anxiety, and opens the door to new ways of looking at our most-feared illness.
    		 
    Beautifully written, Malignant Metaphor is a touching and persuasive book that has the power to change the conversation about cancer. Clear-eyed and compassionate, Mitchell opens the door to new ways of looking at our most-feared illness.
