I wrote this book with the hopes that it might help at least one person who is faced with dealing with the loss of a loved one. We are all affected by death at some point in our lives; hopefully, this will make the transition easier for those facing grief. We are all capable of living a healthy, productive life. This book is about resilience and our individual power to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity and overcoming life's trials and tribulations with the help of a positive outlook on life. "In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility" (Eleanor Roosevelt).

How do two parents who are blind take their children to the park? How is a mother with dwarfism treated when she walks her child down the street? How do Deaf parents know when their baby cries in the night? When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she was a mix of excited and nervous. But as a person with a disability, there were added complexities. She wondered: Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting? More than 15 per cent of Australian households have a parent with a disability, yet their stories are rarely shared, their experiences almost never reflected in parenting literature. In We’ve Got This, twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people’s attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory and empowering anthology. As Rebekah Taussig writes, ‘Parenthood can tangle with grief and loss. Disability can include joy and abundance. And goddammit – disabled parents exist.’ Contributors include Jacinta Parsons, Kristy Forbes, Graeme Innes, Jessica Smith, Jax Jacki Brown, Nicole Lee, Elly May Barnes, Neangok Chair, Renay Barker-Mulholland, Micheline Lee and Shakira Hussein. We’ve Got This will appeal to readers of Growing Up Disabled in Australia and other titles in the Growing Up series.

During the many incidents experienced while the author has worked as a staff nurse in A & E, patients, visitors and colleagues would say; "Someone ought to put that in a book". She did and this is the hilarious result. You ve Got a What in your Where? is not authorised or endorsed by the National Health Service, it is merely a collection of events during my years within that fine institution. Events have not necessarily been placed in strict chronological order, as literary licence has been needed at times. All names of patients and staff have been changed in order to preserve confidentiality, anonymity and downright embarrassment. The name of the principal hospital and some place names have also been changed. Many people working within the NHS, and particularly the Accident and Emergency Department will find that lots of the stories contained within this book are somewhat familiar the settings may change, but human beings do not.

But if you don't get the right people to hear the songs you've written, then the best you can hope for is to be an undiscovered genius. If You've Got a Dream, I've Got a Plan is written by one of Country Music's most successful songwriters. In this informative guide, aspiring songwriters will learn: What is a demo?

How do I get the right people to hear my songs? If You've Got a Dream, I've Got a Plan will not guarantee that you will become a successful songwriter. But it does arm aspiring songwriters with the information they need to enter a highly competitive world, one that is potentially rewarding both financially and artistically sense.
