"Describes twenty-six ways of communicating through writing."--From source other than the Library of Congress

Set in a place called New Northwest Pennsy-hi-o, eleven interconnected stories follow an eccentric group of characters whose lives are linked over several decades as they struggle to hold their families together.

Talks about how numbers are used in everyday life not just in math problems.

Teenager Danae Jacobson, an exciting new voice in young adult publishing, offers insights and asks questions gleaned from a perceptive and refreshingly simple view of the world around her. In a debut book, Things I've Learned Lately, her short essays on the life lessons she's experienced discuss everything from love and relationships to the meaning of seasons and of death. Chapters include "Midnight Laughing Cleanses You," "There Is a Time for Everything," and "The Stars Shine Brighter When There Is No Moon." Danae explores simple truths such as, "Forgiving someone is proof of your love," and, "Coincidences are really 'God-things,'" offering an honest, hopeful approach to young people who, like herself, are striving to match the challenges of life with a firm faith.

Through hopeful, encouraging stories and scriptural truths, this beloved classic shows you how God can heal your wounds, restore your faith, and give you genuine, lasting peace.
