If These Wings Could Fly

Product Information

He may have used his flames to propel himself forward, sue him. But at least his brother had reacted to the name, no matter how faintly uttered, and had turned towards him so that the Logia could engulf him in a hug that could rival Luffy's. If there was one thing the little idiot's fruit was good for, it was being able to wrap around someone to give the best hugs. Ace would never admit it to anyone, though, let alone Luffy. If These Wings Could Fly is a tense and emotional story that will in turns break your heart, make you swoon, and leave you feeling hopeful.” -- Elizabeth Eulberg, author of Past Perfect Life While the obvious fears of a domestic abuse survivor are constantly discussed on public platforms, there are many details that would go amiss in these discussions. The author had mentioned several subtle details that Leighton notices all around her. I notice how Liam's dad has a version of loud that isn't angry; I realize I don't actually know how to argue and reach a resolution. I haven't ever seen that This attention to attribution is the reason why this book felt very personal to me. There was a look of triumph on his face as he finally managed to grab it, but Marco could see what was about to happen moments before his grip slipped.

I have a love-hate relationship with contemporary novels. I get excited reading the summary but almost always, they end up disappointing me. But halfway through this book, I was sure this would end up being a favourite. If These Wings Could Fly is about seventeen-year-old Leighton, who is struggling to hold onto things as her father wreaked havoc in her life. She wants to get out of her miserable town however, that would mean leaving her mom and sisters to become his prey.Für die Repräsentation der häuslichen Gewalt kann ich nicht direkt sprechen, aber McCauley geht in ihrem Nachwort darauf ein, dass es sich bei You are not safe here um ein Buch handelt, das sie selbst als Jugendliche gebraucht hätte. Das liest man, finde ich, sowohl in der Darstellung der Machtkonstellationen im Haus als auch in der Hoffnung, die sich immer wieder anbahnt. Obwohl das Buch ausschließlich aus Leightons Perspektive verfasst ist, wird ersichtlich, dass es bei häuslicher Gewalt nicht damit getan ist, die Polizei zu rufen, und dass insbesondere die Partner*innen der Täter*innen diese nicht „einfach“ verlassen können, sondern komplexe Abhängigkeiten vorherrschen. Während Leightons Mutter die Entschuldigungen ihres Ehemannes wiederholt hoffnungsvoll annimmt und von Leighton noch am Anfang des Buchs gar nicht erst auf eine mögliche Trennung angesprochen werden will, ist auch das Verhältnis zwischen Leighton, ihren Schwestern und ihrem Vater nicht ausschließlich von Angst und Hass geprägt. Indem sie keine einfache Lösung anbietet, trifft die Autorin genau den Nerv. Sometimes I really wish he were just mean through and through. Evil is easy to hate. But broken. Broken can love and be loved.” Kyrie McCauley, author of If These Wings Could Fly, delivers a powerful contemporary YA novel about a trio of girls fighting for each other in the aftermath of a school shooting and the lasting bonds of friendship. Perfect for fans of Laura Ruby and Mindy McGinnis. That was when Sabo realized he was being hugged. Next came the crashing realization that he hadn't been hugged in ten years. So you stay silent, trapped inside your house with words burning inside your body, inside your soul..

These ranged from devil fruit shenanigans to their boat sinking to Thatch losing the log pose and many more. Meanwhile, Ace had once again bet something highly specific but most likely not the case. We Can Be Heroes is one of the most powerful and moving books I've read all year. It's heavy and painful but beautiful in its journey and exploration. Sabo let out an explosive sigh of relief, his right glove falling from his mouth, before looking up at his saviour from his position of sitting on damp wood, his hands braced behind him, quipping an equally polite and relieved “Thank you.”A vein pulsed in the man's forehead. He glanced at his companion. It was good to be right; if they really meant business, they would've started swinging by now. Xiao covered his face with his hands. At least the chances of running into Barbatos again were astronomically low. He wouldn’t get a second chance to put his foot in his mouth. Maybe all the things we create have some piece of us, something we impart, or something we just leave behind.
