Описание: This 4-novel omnibus begins with a book Publisher's Weekly termed "courageous, thought-provoking" and the Los Angeles Times called "suspenseful, sensitively written" in which Amelia Monet escapes from her father's home to begin a new life and identity in San Francisco, LIVING IN SECRET with her mother and her mother's girlfriend. Meanwhile, in an entirely different part of The City, in THE SKIN OF WATER: DEFENDING THE DREAMCATCHERS, Lisel Martinez, a first nation teen, has left her New Mexico pueblo for a fresh start in California that will hopefully be better, safer than the life she's leaving behind. Yet is there a way for young people on their own to stay safe in a world that is anything but? Empowerment is just a word...until you live it. In ESOTERICA, the third book of this 4-novel omnibus edition, we rejoin characters from the first two books as Amelia -- older now and done putting up with safety issues of her own -- decides to take matters into her own hands. Her dad is a criminal, and criminals are supposed to be in jail, aren't they? In the final book, PARADISE FOUND, Amelia's battles to remove herself from an abusive parent's custody finally conclude. She's 16 & 1/2 now; it's time to create a life of her own and perhaps a whole new way to live too It's the 21st Century after all...a time of great change when girls are starting to rock and rule, and high time for many things about humanity to improve And with friends like Pipsqueak, Lisel, Rocky, Gabrielle, and the whole Esoterica apple farm crew, Amelia just might be able to help make that happen. No matter what kind of twists and turns her life has had, it's never too late to become a healthy, happy adult, right?

Описание: Bruce Meyer`s forte is to delve into the interconnectedness of our relationship with the physical and the spiritual. He is a poet channelling the music and suffering of the human experience and, beyond that, the spiral of cultivation and destruction that sustains and endangers humankind. His poems are daring and artistically defying, composed with gravitas, powerful mindfulness, and reverence.
