Esther is one of the Special Ones: four young spiritual guides who live in a remote farmhouse under the protection of a mysterious cult leader. He watches them around the clock, ready to punish them if they forget who they are—and all the while, broadcasting their lives to eager followers on the outside. Esther knows that if she stops being Special, he will “renew” her. Nobody knows what happens to the Special Ones who are taken away from the farm for renewal, but Esther fears the worst. Like an actor caught up in an endless play, she must keep up the performance if she wants to survive long enough to escape.
After the special ones learn of their heritage and why they are special, their world drastically changes, and they must flee for their lives. When they are tasked with helping the opposition defeat the rogues and free the planet of Adoran from their cruel rule, they must work as a team and use their special skills to complete their missions. After the rogues on Adoran are defeated, the special ones are summoned to their home planet of Ulterion to face the rogues in one final battle.

Damaged by an uncertain past, he and others must now embark on the search for who he is, occasionally with terrible consequences. Can he find the truth before his past catches up to him?
Vol. I: Trilogy of the Special Ones by Lawander Thompson Pdf
I grew up listening to stories, which taught me about right and wrong, and also fostered my love of storytelling. Who hasn’t been told stories as a child? We all have connections to the stories we carry from our childhood to adulthood. We all have a story to tell... Vol. I: Trilogy of the Special Ones, is essentially three shorts about three super female heroes. The protagonist in each story triumphs over three life-changing scenarios from a child, an adolescent, and finally as a young successful woman. In each scenario, she is faced with major decisions and must act under pressure to make the right decisions. This is a book about self-discovery. This is not the answer to peer pressure but it can raise awareness. It is a moral story and a literature lesson about “curiosity kills the cat” but the cat has nine lives; this is the gist of what happens to young adults who face perils while traveling in dangerous territory. I think the best stories come from the heart and real-life situations. I rely on my experiences to tell my stories. While sitting at my grandfather’s feet, he was of native heritage and was the master storyteller who taught me about my cultural folklore. My voice narrates these stories that connect the moral dilemmas young women experience with daily peer pressures as they reach adulthood to maturity. My trio of short stories centers on three primary characters---Bellania, Bobby Jean, and Amanda. They are all beautiful, curious, vulnerable, and fierce because they are the special ones protected with inner gifts. These are stories about making the right choices with a flair for the supernatural, mythological, and guardian angel themes. It crosses all ages, cultures, and genres based on folklore with a modern twist. I love the notion of unveiling the many masks we wear especially when the risks in life become greater. The character arc in each plot progressively builds under pressure and gradually reveals the true nature of each young woman as the special ones with special powers. It is spiced with a touch of magic realism from rural folklore, oral traditions, and superstitions.
When there's a disabled child in the family, how are normally developing siblings affected? According to Kate Strohm, a counselor and health educator, siblings of the disabled face particular emotional challenges that are often overlooked. Able siblings commonly struggle with feelings of isolation, grief, anger, and anxiety—and these and other emotional issues can have lifelong effects. Being the Other One is based on the author's own experience (as a sibling of a sister with cerebral palsy) and on extensive interviews she conducted with siblings of all ages. In clear and compassionate terms, Strohm explores the often secret feelings of siblings and offers valuable strategies for coping with the challenges they face. Being the Other One reveals the difficulties faced by siblings at all stages of life, from early childhood through adulthood, when siblings must often assume responsibility for the care of their disabled brothers and sisters. Though the book looks honestly at the many challenges that siblings face, it is full of encouragement and practical strategies. Strohm emphasizes that when siblings are able to clearly identify and openly express their feelings and concerns—and when parents and health professionals offer the needed support—siblings can thrive. This book includes writing exercises for personal exploration and a substantial resources section listing helpful books, organizations, and websites.

One Special Summer by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Pdf
In 1951, eighteen-year-old Lee Bouvier and her twenty-two-year-old sister Jacqueline took their first trip to Europe together. Jackie had already spent a year in France living with a French family and attending the Sorbonne. Her many cards and letters had made her sister Lee want nothing more than to see Europe with Jackie. Having convinced their parents, the two young ladies set off to see the continent. As they traveled, they sketched and kept notes, creating an illustrated journal of their time abroad, which they presented to their parents as a thank you upon their return; that delightful chronicle is ONE SPECIAL SUMMER. Join Jackie and Lee for a tantalizing glimpse of a lost world: crossing the Atlantic by ocean liner, visits with counts and ambassadors in Paris, art lessons in Venice, and white gloves in the afternoon. Smile at the social agonies all young women suffer in common--how to politely consume an oversized hors d'oeuvre, the horror of slipping undergarments, and the art of fending off unwanted romantic advances.
Being and becoming by Jose Luis Perez Velazquez,Vera Nenadovic Pdf
Many people spend considerable time seeking a sense of purpose in life and, concomitant with that, a sense of personal identity. This book demystifies this search, revealing why this search is a fallacy. The purpose is to inform readers about results in neuroscience and biophysics that may guide us to some liberation needed in the current age of great complexity in life with a diverse burden of chores; a deliverance from some afflictions that prevent individuals from achieving the true purpose of our lives. Among these afflictions we find two primordial concerns: the belief and subsequent attachment to a self, and the conviction that life must have a deep purpose in which we are major players. While this is a scientific text, it can easily be read by a lay audience, written with minimal technical jargon and with references to scientific papers enough to satisfy the curious. We have tried to extract the essence of scientific observations such that we can glimpse at those aforementioned concerns about the self and life, observations which help us comprehend what we are and what we become, the being and becoming of our own selves and natural phenomena around us. Jose Luis Perez Velazquez received a PhD in Molecular Physiology & Biophysics. His research seeks principles of biological organisation. He worked at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and was Professor at the University of Toronto. Currently he is a Research Scholar at the Ronin Institute and lives in the natural paradise of Asturias, in Northern Spain. Vera Nenadovic is a nurse practitioner, neuroscientist and entrepreneur. She has 30 years of experience in healthcare from First Nations communities to intensive care units. Her research focuses on predicting brain injury outcomes. She is a clinician and researcher at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital. Her startup company BrainsView is commercializing software that analyzes brainwaves to monitor brain function and recovery after head injury. She is married and lives in Toronto, with her husband and Rottweiler.
