Mikayla ha diciott'anni e tutto ciò che alla sua età si possa desiderare: un fidanzato bello e attraente, dei genitori meravigliosi e un'amica del cuore. Ma quello che sarebbe dovuto essere un evento da sogno, il ballo del liceo, si trasforma per lei in un incubo: un tradimento e una tragedia che si abbatte sulla sua famiglia cancellano tutto ciò che ama, costringendola a diventare adulta all'improvviso. Ogni certezza le si è sgretolata tra le mani, non ha più punti di riferimento, nessuno su cui contare… Tranne Jake, appena incontrato, ma che con quei suoi occhi azzurro cielo sembra conoscerla da sempre. Il ragazzo si prende cura di lei giorno dopo giorno, tentando di rimettere insieme i pezzi del suo cuore infranto. Rispettando i suoi cupi silenzi e il suo dolore sconfinato. Amandola senza riserve. Ma Mikayla, che lo ricambia dal primo istante, cerca in ogni modo di mantenere le distanze per paura di soffrire ancora. Troverà la forza di cancellare definitivamente i fantasmi del passato e andare incontro al futuro? Dovrà riuscirci, se vuole ricominciare a vivere… e ad amare.

Ava Diaz needs saving. She just doesn't know it yet. Just like she doesn't know a thing about the boy she sits next to on the first day of senior year. He thinks she's a brat. She thinks he's entitled. Maybe first impressions don't always last... Because Connor Ledger's about to save her. He just doesn't know why.

Becca Owens and Josh Warden share one life-changing summer.

England, June 1944. Frank Banner has had a long war. Flying his first B-17 mission as a major in August '42, by the end of '43, he's survived over forty missions, has a chest full of medals - including three Purple Hearts - and has steadily risen in rank and position.Now the long awaited invasion of France is just days away, and Major General Banner, commanding the First Combat Bomb Wing, First Air Division, 8th AF, like everyone else, is preparing for D-Day. Everything that could be done, has been, but there is still considerable concern at SHAEF over the invasion's success and doubts about how well their untried troops will fare against a battle-hardened enemy. General Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, needs to know, as early as possible, what is happening on D-Day, and wants some experienced eyes over those beaches. So, the order comes down to find a senior pilot with ‘combat experience, a good head on his shoulders and guts'.Banner, now married and expecting his first child any day, has resigned himself to the fact that his flying days are over, that he'll finish the war from behind a desk. But when approached to be Ike's eyes over Normandy, he can't say no. He is just to stand off, observe, and report back; that's the plan. But, in war, things rarely go as planned.

This book trains students of the caring professions across health and social care in the basic philosophical skills and knowledge needed to deal with the ethical aspects of their profession. It shows why ethical education is required and teaches the skills of reasoning that equip professionals to think critically about the theories and arguments used in ethical discussions. It demonstrates how we can be confident that we can rely on common moral ground; but it also points out how we need to recognise the influence of different world-views and to note how, on some issues, these can lead us in starkly different directions. It explains relevant philosophical theories and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses - particularly in relation to what is required for proper professional ethics. It shows how to employ the commonly accepted framework of four ethical principles - beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice. These various matters are then illustrated in two extended case studies - the problem of euthanasia, and the question of screening for disability and the value of human life. Ethical Basics for the Caring Professions is designed for use on all health and social care and human services courses on ethics and values. It will also be of interest to academics and professionals working within these fields.
