  I can't wait for things to go back to normal, and for the list of things currently worrying Franny Petroski to shrink down to a normal sizeFranny never lets anyone know how often she thinks of the charismatic, troubled mom who left her years ago, any more than she talks about the unaccountable things Mom did while she was still in the picture. Life with Nana is safe and secure, and Franny’s innovative art projects fill in any lonesome times. But when Nana has an accident and Franny’s estranged uncle returns home to help out for a while, some long-guarded family secrets come to light. Franny has to use all of her courage, as well as all of her creativity, to come to terms with the discoveries she makes about her mother—and herself.From the acclaimed author of 365 Days to Alaska, this moving and heartfelt story examines the objects and people we leave behind, and celebrates the beauty that can be found in the least likely places, if we only stop to look. “Tenderly explores the pain of family secrets, and the ways that opening up to the truth also opens us up to a new world of love, compassion, and acceptance.”—Kate Albus, award-winning author of A Place to Hang the Moon

  Does your child day dream and find it difficult to concentrate and organize their work? Listening regularly to this self help hypnotherapy recording for 10-16 year olds at bedtime or other quiet time could well be the answer!  
   
  It helps enhances powers of focus and concentration and 
  boosts self-esteem and self-belief. Children relax comfortably and imagine their mind as a touch screen computer and are guided to delete old, negative beliefs about their abilities.

They then visualize getting down to work quickly and studying more effectively.  
  This successful approach is based on natural, safe, sound hypnotherapy principles: act out each positive step in the imagination and dramatically increase your chance of success in the real world. The recording uses state of the art technology.  
  Lynda's gentle, English voice calms and re-assures as she gives suggestions for boosting confidence and self esteem.

She has been featured in the press, TV and radio, and is author of two widely acclaimed books on hypnotherapy with children and adults.
