Advocate, Not Alienate

Advocating For Your Child:

Parents need to know the normalcy of the abnormal situations in a teaching or other hospital. The key is to pick the battle, the right ones, and not the smaller ones, or you alienate nurses and medical students. Let the minor stuff go on pass….. but be a advocate when situations call for it such as the following.

Examples: Advocate for your child taken off oxygen when they shouldn’t have been, having another’s child’s medication running into your child, or a medical student trying for the 10th time to draw blood from your child ~ you must advocate in these kinds of situations.

My Review: Convicted by Raven Price

CaptureConvicted (The Paradigm Shift Trilogy Book 1) by Raven Price 

Convicted is a story about an abused woman, Hope, who sought support within the church she grew up with; desperate for peace and comfort. Hope is inspired by a female television evangelist, and she begins a spiritual and supernatural journey, one that unfolds in ways no one could ever imagine. This story is well written, and the pace is solid. I give this story five stars! Hope has ‘hope’ and a whole lot more!!!

My Review: Not Really Gone

Not Really Gone” by Blair Sharpe, is a memoir. I was able to relate so well with the chaos that Blair grew up with, all the sorrows and triumphs. This story touched me in a manner, that, in some ways, I didn’t suffer as I grew up. Sharpe’s book relates to teenagers, and adults in so many ways. Thank you Blair!

Review: The Bloody Shoe Affair by Joy York

The Bloody Shoe Affair” by Joy York. I bought this book to read and review as a member of RRBC. This genre was my favorite as a teenager until I found romances. “The Bloody Shoe Affair” by Joy York, is a nice YA read, especially for girls, since the two main characters are girls, Christi and Lily. Joy brings out the scenes nicely and both girls characters are brought forth nicely as well. The story was bumpy throughout, and really didn’t start to fly until almost one third of the way into the book but the girls really shined. The suspense and the little bit of romance helped in rounding out the story line. Joy York certainly has the appeal for understanding teenagers and the ability to write about them in a manner that truly to speak to teenagers. Nicely done.
