Summary

Ballet Secrets unveils the dedication, discipline, and hidden challenges behind the seemingly effortless grace of ballet. It explores the rigorous training regimens, physical demands, and psychological toll faced by dancers striving for perfection. The book highlights how the relentless pursuit of artistic excellence often comes at a significant personal cost, including high injury rates and intense performance anxiety.

 
Did you know dancers often begin training as young as eight or nine years old, dedicating their lives to mastering this demanding art form? Also, the pressure to maintain an ideal body image can lead to serious mental health challenges.

 
This biography of the performing arts examines the societal pressures within the ballet world, including issues of diversity and inclusion. It adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, integrating insights from professional dancers, sports medicine experts, and psychologists.

 
The book begins with the fundamentals of ballet training and progresses through sections on physical demands, psychological impact, and societal influences. By combining real-life experiences with scholarly research, Ballet Secrets offers a unique and comprehensive understanding of what it truly means to be a ballerina.

    Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age.

    One Body: A Retrospective

    Nominated in Scotland’s National Book Awards 
In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what it’s been like to live in her woman’s body, and to reach the realisation that all that time she’d spent trying to change her body to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely different perspective. 
By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot together—from period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters. 
So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was “a nuisance,” she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime. 
One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is in—to be grateful for her body and all that it does and is.

    Who the Hell Is Troy Gilbert? is a heartfelt and often humorous nonfiction memoir that captures the life, character, and legacy of a remarkable Texas original. 
Told through vivid personal memories, family stories, and reflections from friends and loved ones, author Brenda Underwood paints an intimate portrait of Troy Gilbert and the close-knit rural community that shaped him. Set primarily in North Texas, the book brings to life a disappearing way of American small-town living, one rooted in family, hard work, loyalty, and storytelling passed down through generations. 
From childhood adventures and farm life to friendships, losses, laughter, and resilience, this memoir is as much about place and people as it is about one man. Rich in local color and authentic voice, it reads like a front-porch conversation, honest, affectionate, and unforgettable. 
This book will resonate with readers who enjoy personal memoirs, family histories, regional Americana, and true stories that celebrate ordinary lives lived extraordinarily well.

    A desperate mother must grapple with impossible choices as her young son becomes too dangerous to live at home, but is only growing bigger, stronger, and more violent while in treatment. When Keri and her husband adopt Devon, he has concerning behaviors, but she's confident all he needs is the love of a forever family. Devon's hidden history of early childhood trauma quickly takes center stage when Devon throws screaming fits, yanks his bedroom door off its hinges, chases his classmates with a knife, and pushes his younger brother down the stairs and viciously karate-chops him in the throat. When Devon is admitted to a psychiatric residential treatment facility at age 10 and is diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), Keri is faced with an impossible choice -- Devon is too dangerous to live at home, but he's not getting better in treatment. Keri must race against time to find help for Devon and keep her other children safe, as he grows bigger, stronger, and more violent.Based on a shocking true story, this reads-like-a-novel memoir exposes the dysfunctions of the child welfare and mental health systems and how they fail kids with RAD and their families.2022 IndieReader Discovery Award Winner16th National Indie Excellence Award Winner11th Annual Kindle Book Award Winner2022 Wishing Shelf Award Finalist
