A heartbreakingly hopeful #ownvoices novel in verse about an Indian American girl whose life is turned upside down when her mother is diagnosed with leukemia.
Reha feels torn between two worlds: school, where she’s the only Indian American student, and home, with her family’s traditions and holidays. But Reha’s parents don’t understand why she’s conflicted—they only notice when Reha doesn’t meet their strict expectations. Reha feels disconnected from her mother, or Amma, although their names are linked—Reha means “star” and Punam means “moon”—but they are a universe apart.
Then Reha finds out that her Amma is sick. Really sick.
Reha, who dreams of becoming a doctor even though she can’t stomach the sight of blood, is determined to make her Amma well again. She’ll be the perfect daughter, if it means saving her Amma’s life.

Is sex more work than play in your marriage? Do you schedule it in like a dentist appointment? Do you make love once a month, twice at the most? If you answered yes to these questions, you are among the forty million Americans trapped in a low-sex or no-sex marriage. Now there is help from nationally acclaimed sex and marital experts Barry and Emily McCarthy, who for years have helped couples break down the barriers that have developed between them, and rebuild closeness and longing. Their groundbreaking ten-step program is designed to get sex and intimacy back into these marriages and revitalize relationships. Crafted by years of clinical practice, Rekindling Desire first shows couples how to root out the 'poisons' that inhibit sexual desire: shame, guilt, anger, passivity, as well as medical side effects and physical dysfunctions. With sensitivity and tact, the McCarthys then lay out concrete techniques and effective strategies that help couples increase sexual awareness, confront inhibitions, revitalize desire, and integrate intimacy and eroticism. An exciting new way to spark and sustain desire, Rekindling Desire confronts the secrecy and stigma of low-sex and no-sex marriages, teaching couples how to enjoy a fulfilling, life-long sexual partnership.
Around 50-70% of people with the first episode of psychosis relapse within two years of recovery. Relapse can have social and financial implications on the lives of individuals and their families. It can also have a significant adverse effect on self-esteem and may increase self-stigma. Therefore managing and minimizing relapse is an essential component in the treatment of people experiencing or recovery from psychosis.
The Relapse Prevention Workbook for Individuals with Psychosis is designed to help individuals develop a person-centered plan to help them recognize relapse signs and take full responsibility for their health and well-being. It involves learning more about oneself, understanding and reflecting on past experiences, developing skills to recognize signs of relapse, and finally putting together an action plan to prevent and manage relapse.
The idea behind self-management plans emanates from the principle that learning about oneself and developing a plan to prevent relapse will increase self-confidence, thereby giving the individual more personal control of their mental health well-being.
The overall treatment goal in psychosis management is to improve the individual functional capacity by focusing on social and vocational functioning. An effective relapse prevention plan will recognize and harness individual strengths and weaknesses to maintain social and occupational functioning.
The workbook is in two parts. The first part guides the user in preparing a person-centered relapse prevention plan. The second part discusses psychosis, treatment options, challenges, and self management tips, including how to support individuals experiencing or recovery from psychosis.
