I never forgot her. Sweet little Katie Baxter. Beautiful. Innocent. Completely off-limits. Or she used to be - eight years ago. I was twice her age then, old enough to know better than to fall in love with a teenager. But loving her was unavoidable. Raw. Real. All too right to be so wrong.

In the wake of her son’s sudden death, Margaret Dobrescu struggles to keep it together in the face of her grief…and her guilt. She can’t help but blame herself for Kyle’s own lifelong struggles—namely, the alcoholism that plagued him.

Asher Hansen began tormenting me our freshman year, not long after my father kicked him and his older brother off the compound with nothing but the clothes on their back. They blamed Dad for their mother taking her own life. To be honest, I think I did, too. Maybe that’s why I took it whenever Asher called me Cult Barbie and teased me mercilessly, saying the filthiest, most outrageous things. But that doesn't explain why his words always made me feel...fizzy inside.

She’s been off-limits from the moment I laid eyes on her. Stranded on the side of the road, she became more than that beautiful woman I saved one night. She became my obsession. Even though she’s only 19, and I’m nearly twice her age. I’ve basically become her stalker, but I can’t help it. Months ago, her big sister, Katie, was almost the victim of a serial killer during a first date gone wrong. Nothing like that is ever going to happen to my Chrissie. Keeping her safe is all I care about.

I’m the girl most people peg as a future librarian. Shy. Nerdy. Excellent at hiding. Innocent with a capital I. Aside from being an overachiever who gained the freshman fifteen all in one semester, I know I’m not exactly doing college right. I don’t date, don’t flirt. Plus, I spend all my free time working.

Callie is a former track star and current New York University coed. She's heard of the Garden of Unearthly Delights - and the urban legends about women being kidnapped to service the monsters' ravenous sexual appetites - but she's never seen the garden in person until the night she's wrenched from her bed, drugged, and abandoned in the garden to fight for her life.

With two kids of our own, we suspect our parenting goals are likely the same as yours—no spoiled brats, no crippling debt, and kids who know a dollar actually takes work. That's why we wrote this book. The Five Family Money Conversations offers practical advice for dealing with three age groups (5–12, 13–17, and 18 and beyond). It is the parenting "how to" book you don't want to live without.

Being an empath is a wonderful gift that should be valued, fostered, and enhanced. With the weight of the entire planet on their shoulders, empaths are among the strongest people in the world. You can make your sensitivity your greatest superpower once you accept who you are!

The fact is, we all have some level of empathy for other people. However, if you are unable to regulate your empathy and always feel the need to "fix" other people, you are well aware of how excruciatingly annoying this trait can be. Empaths are frequently overcome by other people's emotions, they experience other people's feelings, and they have a deep understanding of other people's minds. Because of this, empaths are only concerned about other people.
