  How does a child survive years of unimaginable abuse? 
  She splits. 
  And splits again. And again. And again. 
  And she does survive. But not without consequences. 
  As a young adult, years after her physical abuse has ended, Maggie Walters struggles with an 
  unpredictable temper and socially difficult behaviour. After several false starts she finds a therapist 
  who she trusts, just enough, to start talking about the childhood locked away behind the anger and 
  isolation she has learnt to live with. 
  Eventually she is diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD (now known as Dissociative 
  Identity Disorder or DID). 
  Gradually, she understands. It was not Maggie who survived her childhood. The instinct to survive 
  created an alternative identity called Annie, who with a myriad of other ‘alters’, lived through the 
  abuse inflicted on her. 
  Decades later, with a husband and three much-loved children, Maggie strives to live a normal life 
  despite a past which has left her internal world with a hidden, dark secret. Every day, unseen by 
  those around her, trigger incidents fill her head with voices, the chaotic remnants of her other selves 
  who lived the childhood she couldn’t. This is the ‘normal’ which Maggie has learned to live with. 
  In SPLIT Maggie tells the story of managing this ‘normal’, of understanding and accepting her past, 
  and standing strong in the life she has built from the ashes of her broken childhood. 
  It is a story not only of survival, but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not 
  read another book like it.

  He’s the only one who sees through her. 
  She’s the only one who stands in his way. 
  A game of deception where desire is the deadliest move. 
   
  Nurota doesn’t do favors. He smirks through scandals, plays the pervert, and dodges consequences like it’s sport—until Yano, the so-called queen of grace, frames an innocent boy to hide her own scheme. But Nurota knows the truth. And he’s not letting her win. 
   
  “Leave him out of your bullshit. I mean it, bitch.” One threat. One quiet war declared. Now, with a secret video in his pocket and the entire academy watching, he’s forced into a dangerous game—protecting the weak, exposing the liars, and keeping Sukaru, the pink-haired class rep with fists as sharp as her tongue, from stumbling into the crossfire. 
   
  But Sukaru won’t stay out of it. She’s tired of pretty lies and polished cruelty. And when Nurota drags her into his world of hidden cameras and whispered confessions, she realizes the boy she dismissed as a pervert might be the only one telling the truth. Too bad he’s the most dangerous one to fall for. 
   
  Can Nurota dismantle the lies before the academy tears itself apart? Or will love, betrayal, and secret romance burn everything down first?

  2:45 Fever - If You Want to Know...

  Why Are High Schools Graduating Illiterate Seniors? If you really want to know what is happening in America's schools, do not ask the students. Do not speak with the teachers. Do not eavesdrop on the principals. Do not believe the bureaucrats at the District Education Office. Listen to the substitutes. They are where the rubber meets the road, and they have no loyalty to any one school. In 2:45 Fever, thirty-five substitute teachers tell you what they see. A gifted fifth-grader gets every math problem right and says, "You're only saying that because I'm black." A substitute shares a photograph of Buffalo Soldiers with her class and gets called into the principal's office for "exciting" certain students. A girl hunts through a Chromebook program for an example that will never come, needing a human being to explain what the words actually mean. A substitute who grew up eating every day but Thursday draws her philosophy of education from Alice in Wonderland: no one knows what will happen tomorrow, but the survivors are prepared for the unknown. In February 2026, the U.S. Department of Education reported that districts spent only two-thirds of $1.1 billion allocated for student support. When they consulted stakeholders about how to use the money, they asked administrators and staff. They never asked the substitutes. This book does. The book closes in Torino, Italy, where the father of a substitute teacher — a Holocaust refugee — recognizes a young man standing under a lamp post where his father and grandfather stood before him. "You Americans do not know how good you've got it," he tells his son. "In America, there are no rules. You just do not understand that." The key to that freedom is education. And we are losing it.
