graduation.

DREAMS, AND ROCKS YOUR WORLD. This book identifies the ten critical choices after tragedy that make or break the rest of your life. If you've been through a traumatic life event and would be willing to share what did
and did not work in your recovery from it, contact me at BevSmallwd@aol.com

http://clarylopez.com 6. Looking to compile real life "SWAN STORIES" of people who were identified as a dead-end kids early in life but who now in adulthood have
proven everyone wrong in a positively shocking way. Creating an anthology on Swan Stories that are a testament to human spirit and resilience and the courage to shine despite the obstacles. I am especially interested in hearing from people who were the most likely to be voted "Least Likely to Succeed" in High School and exceeded anyone's put downs. I really want to
know (A) how they did it, (B) why they believe they proved the naysayers? wrong, and (C) what lessons do they want to pass on to the current
generation of pre-teens and teens who struggle against unsupportive authority figures. Send stories (no more than 4 or 5 pages double spaced)

13. Stories wanted for a book on PROSTATE CANCER. The book will concentrate on coping with the disease and we would like to receive
inspirational stories, with an emphasis on your emotions at various stages of treatment (if untreatable, how you have come to terms with this) and inner resourses that have helped sustain you. The book will have a cricketing theme and, where possible, will be humorous and lighthearted. The main aim of the book is to promote awareness and to give hope and advice to those living with the disease. If you, or your partner, has come face-to-face with this silent killer, we'd like to hear from you. Stories from cricketers and wives and significant others would be particularly welcome.
