Dancing in the Rain: The Final Cut
Our Price: $12.95

Dancing in the Rain: The Final Cut by Tara L. Nicole is based upon a true-life story about an adolescent growing up and taking control of her life.  She found the strength within herself and learned that she didn't have to live with depression and self-mutilation.  Drue is a teenager who falls in love for the first time in high school; she goes through the struggles of the average American female teenager: first crushes, heartbreak, SAT's, alcohol, insecurities, and attempts to find out who she is and who she wants to be.  After a grueling experience she comes out stronger and still 'dancing in the rain.'  The author tells her story-with hope that those who are discouraged and feeling alone will realize that they are stronger than they know, that they've got what it takes to pull through and, as this book says, "everything is ok in the end; if it's not okay, then it's not the end."

Secret Scars: One woman's story of overcoming self-harm by Abigail Robson
Our Price: $14.99

From five years old, Abbie didn't know who she was supposed to be. To deal with her lack of identity she turned to self-harm, using it as a form of control. Eventually she began the painstaking process of ceasing her behaviour and discovering her identity in Christ. She was finally able to say that she was free of self-harm.

Helping Teens Who Cut, by Michael Hollander
Our Price: $14.95

Discovering that their teen "cuts" is absolutely terrifying for parents. Without a clear understanding of what motivates cutting, many worry their teen may be contemplating suicide. Michael R. Hollander, a leading authority on teen self-injury, gives parents the straight facts about this alarming behavior--and explains what they can do to make it stop. Drawing on years of clinical practice and the latest research, Dr. Hollander shows how overwhelming emotions lead some teens to hurt themselves, and how various treatments--chief among them dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)--can provide effective routes to wellness. Parents learn what to look for in a therapist, how to talk to their teen about cutting without making it worse, and practical strategies for helping their teen cope with extreme emotions in a healthier way. Helping Teens Who Cut also provides much-needed suggestions for reducing stress and improving family communication and problem solving.
