Hopeless And Unwanted

By: Susan Cambridge

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This honest and raw memoir is not easy to read, but it should be deemed essential reading for anyone who works in the field of child welfare. Susan Cambridge’s childhood was horrendous. Unwanted and neglected, she was emotionally, verbally, and physically abused by her mother and brother and left to fend for herself from the age of nine. She slept in a locker for seven years without anyone knowing, went days without eating proper food, and bounced from foster home to foster home. Fortified by her faith in God, and against all odds, Susan pursued her education and a career in child social services. After working in the field for almost three decades, Susan made it her mission to ensure that all social service professionals and foster parents fully understand and appreciate the way in which childhood trauma endures and impacts its victims for the rest of their lives. That mission is this book: Hopeless and Unwanted. Intended as an eye-opening dive into the experiences and lasting impacts of childhood trauma and their intersection with the child welfare system, Susan invites survivors of childhood trauma and social workers alike to leave damaging cycles behind and find lasting healing.

Hey, White Girl!

Hey, White Girl!

By: Susan Gregory

This book relates the story of a young white student - not a teacher - in a ghetto school. The viewpoint is significant because it is a white student speaking from a seat in the classroom, not a teacher speaking from his position of authority - a white student witnessing the shaping (both destructive and constructive) of the self-images of her friends. Susan Gregory's account is simple, honest, young. But its message - a call for greater understanding between the races - has no age barrier. She is now a student at Kalamazoo College in Michigan.

Angry Conversations with God

A Snarky but Authentic Spiritual Memoir

By: Susan E. Isaacs

Disillusioned, disenfranchised, and disinterested in anything churchy, Susan Isaacs knew of only one thing to do when she hit spiritual rock bottom at age 40. . . . She took God to couples counseling. In this cuttingly poignant memoir, Susan Isaacs chronicles her rocky relationship with the Almighty--from early childhood to midlife crisis--and all the churches where she and God tried to make a home: Pentecostals, Slackers for Jesus, and the über-intellectuals who turned everything, including the weekly church announcements, into a three-point sermon. Casting herself as the neglected spouse, Susan faces her inner nag and the ridiculous expectations she put on God--some her own, and some from her "crazy in-laws" at church. Originally staged as a solo show in New York and Los Angeles, ANGRY CONVERSATIONS WITH GODis a cheeky, heartfelt memoir that, even at its most scandalous, is still an affirmation of faith.

Someone Like You

By: Susan Mallery

From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Falling for Gracie: “When you think of passion, drama and heartwarming stories, think Susan Mallery.” —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) Jill Strathern left town for the big city and never looked back—until she returned home years later to run a small law practice. It turns out her childhood crush, Mac Kendrick, a burned-out LAPD cop, has also come back to sleepy Los Lobos. Even though Mac rejected her back in high school, Jill can’t deny the attraction she still feels for him. Now Jill and Mac are tangled in enough drama to satisfy the most jaded L.A. denizens—Mafia dons, social workers, angry exes and one very quirky eight-year-old make even the simplest romance complicated. And it all goes to prove that when it comes to affairs of the heart, there’s no place like home. An unlikely pair . . . but a perfect match. Praise for Falling for Gracie “Susan Mallery really is a small-town romance goddess . . . Falling for Gracie was a great example of everything there is to love about Susan Mallery romances.” —Cheeky Reads “Filled with humor, warmth and strong characters.” —Contemporary Romance Writers “The interactions and the intense emotions between the characters make for a fun and interesting read.” —All About Romance

The Prodigal Brother

Making Peace with Your Parents, Your Past, and the Wayward One in Your Family

By: Susan J. Thompson

Most people know the story Jesus told of the prodigal sonthe child who demanded his inheritance and then threw it away on wild living. But there were two sons in the story: the older son watched events unfold and told his father, I stayed with you all these years and you never threw a party for me! Those who grew up in a family with a prodigal understand that cry. Sue Thompson shares her own story of struggle and hope in The Prodigal Brother. She offers ways to heal the ache of feeling second place in a parents affections and attention, and writes with sensitivity about forgiving a wayward brother or sister without excusing the behavior. Anyone whos ever been the good kid will find empathy and encouragement to unload the emotional baggage of growing up with a prodigal in the family. Many of us grew up in families where one of our siblings was the favorite childeither because that one did everything right in his parents eyes or because he was so needy. Whichever the case, Sue Thompson gives practical suggestions from her own life experiences. Whether you are the good one or the neglected one, you will find fresh insight in this eye-opening book. Florence Littauer Author of Personality Plus and Silver Boxes In the all-important arena of interpersonal relationships . . . Sue's book is at the top of my all-time list. It is that good, and it is that important. Ralph Harris, LifeCourse Ministries Author of Better Off Than You Think

Conversations with Seth

The Story of Jane Roberts's ESP Class

By: Susan M. Watkins

In 1963, Jane Roberts met a spiritual entity named Seth. He spoke through her and the lessons he taught proved timeless and crucial. From 1968 to 1975, Roberts held an ESP class, during which she channeled Seth. Susan Watkins was a member of that class. The knowledge gained from Seth helped Watkins and her classmates face serious illness, painful relationships, financial hardship, and natural catastrophe. It also changed their lives. In addition to being a well-written, highly entertaining historical account of the late Jane Roberts and her class, Conversations with Seth reveals the profound insights discovered by class members--insights into the origin of both the troubling and triumphant events in our lives and into the vast nature of human consciousness. Roberts' Seth material is consistently one of the top two most visited collections at the Yale University Archives. The story that launched the New Age movement.
