    and summer concerts. The major competition hosts some of the hottest international young talent on the waves--including Miley's crush of the moment--Australian-born Talen Wright. So when Hannah Montana is asked by the Surf Series organizers to perform live on the beach, Miley is stoked. It's the perfect way to get close to all the action and Talen. But then Miley learns that all her time on the road has caused a few setbacks at school and so she will have to do some make up work--over the summer! Luckily, her father has managed a way to get her some private tutoring and when she arrives on her first day, she learns that for the two weeks the Surf Series is in town, some of the competitors--including Talen--will be joining in on the informal classes. Soon, Miley and Talen are spending more and more time together, in the classroom and on the waves as Talen teaches Miley to surf. As the days go by, Miley learns that Talen is super chill and not at all into fame. In fact, he is especially wary after his last girlfriend turned out to be a major liar who only dated him for the publicity. Miley is worried that as soon as Talen learns she is Hannah Montana, he'll paddle far far away. Meanwhile, she still needs to get good grades from her tutor, prepare for her first major beach concert, and cheer on Lilly who is competing in the beginner round of competition--against Talen's ex! With all the drama, will Miley have a major wipe-out or manage to score the perfect wave?

KERI Part 6: As Mother Predicted (Child Abuse True Stories)


Kat Ward - 2016
     Despite leaving the courtroom with her reputation intact, Kat's inner life was in turmoil, and it was only due to the loyal support and steadfast encouragement of her ever-increasing fan-base that she managed to complete the sixth volume so soon. Following on from the fifth book, in which she lost her identity but somehow found herself a husband, Karin now finds herself in the precarious position of having to move in with her partner's family - a move known to strain even the tightest of marital bonds. But tight bonds are seldom established by those who grew up learning not to trust, and the status of being the only black sheep in a house full of sacred cows eventually takes an irreparable toll on the marriage; forcing the young Karin out of the house and onto the streets. In what might be described as the first truly "grown up" volume in the series, Kat, now in her twenties, is left with no choice but to face the world completely alone. Homeless, penniless, and holding the (not just proverbial) baby, she resorts to begging by the roadside in order to get by. Her desperate search for protection leads her down some dark alleys, and before long she realises the uncomfortable truth: that shelter is a commodity to be bargained for. And with little more than her dignity to bargain with, it is perhaps not surprising that the arms she ends up in are not all tender and loving. In fact, she soon finds she needs protection from the protection itself - a theme all too familiar for readers of the prior books. The woman who was abused her entire childhood now recounts her terror at being subjected as an adult to violent alcoholic rages, false accusations, and even rape at the hands of her sadistic tormentor, who insists on holding her captive. Once again in need of an escape route, she makes a daring bid for freedom. Yet despite coming so close, she falls short and ends up swapping one set of bars for another. 
DISCLAIMER: This book series deals with themes of both child abuse and domestic abuse, and as such reader discretion is advised. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
