This is typical for both of them, and they do chat online when there isn't a live feed happening. But today, Addie's plane suddenly goes down. Jolene heard Addie's screams, watched the camera go down, and eventually turn off. Addie's mom doesn't know she's in the middle of the desert, hurt, and alone. Jolene is hoping she can help. When she talks to the librarian and even the local firefighters at the fire station, no one believes her. When Jolene tries to talk to her mom, her mom wakes up long enough to yell at her for talking to strangers online. Jolene tries calling the police closer to where Addie is located, but they won't talk to a kid. Jolene has no choice. She takes her mom's phone, charger, a gallon filled with water, and a can of sardines. She buys a bus ticket in a desperate attempt to get closer to Addie. While sitting at the bus station, Marty approaches asking to borrow her phone. Jolene is skeptical, thinking her phone will be stolen, but it's good they met, because Marty helps her onto the bus as an unaccompanied minor and with the weirdos on the bus. As they chat, Jolene is worried about sharing too much, thinking another person will think she's crazy. Will Marty believe her? Will Jolene find Addie? What will she find when she gets there? Setting: Phoenix, AZ and the desert outside Phoenix Characters: Jolene - 12 yo, Mom - Marty - 17 yo, Grandpa - Marty's grandpa, lives in a trailer park by himself but Marty comes help him every once in a while, leaves dishes and garbage for Marty to take care of, sleeps a lot Recurring Themes: addiction, survival, determination, dessert, friendship, support, secrets, travel, escape, adventurer, explorers, anxiety Controversial Issues: mom is addicted to pain meds; goes off to the desert by herself with few supplies Personal Thoughts: The author of this book grew up with a father who was an alcoholic and had an addiction to hydrocodone. The author's note at the end is very impactful with a message of "I see you." This book had an awesome amount of action/adventure plus strong character development. I felt the same things as Jolene, and although I knew there would be more to Marty's story, I wasn't sure what it would be. Genre: realistic fiction Pacing: fast-medium Characters: very well-developed Frame: Storyline: Activity: (  ) pigeonlover | Nov 26, 2022 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Approximately 70% of all Americans receive health services through some form of managed care. Patients who seek psychotherapy through their managed care provider can usually expect only about half a dozen therapy sessions to be covered by their healthcare plans. This increasingly common constraint calls for models of psychotherapy that combine effectiveness and brevity and that are easily adaptable to an eclectic group of clients. In Brief Collaborative Therapy, Dr. Bonnie Rudolph offers a practical model of time-limited therapy that brings together recent theoretical advances and empirical findings on effective brief therapy techniques. The model's focus on measurable goals makes it compatible with the policies of managed care providers, and practitioners will find the model comfortable to use and responsive to diverse client groups.

Jolene loves following strong women and girls. She mentions Marie Tharp, Kira Shingareva, Eva Dickson--just to name a few. Nope--I didn't know who they were either. I can't even remember any males in the novel except side characters, so it's a book praising the power and strength of females. Anyway, Jolene is the only person who follows Addie, a young tween who flies a glider and live streams her flights. They have been messaging each other, and Jolene feels that they've become friends. Jolene also loves drawing maps. Addie doesn't tell where she lives or flies, but Jolene has figured it out. They both live in Arizona, where it is ridiculously HOT. Jolene maps all the places Addie has flown pretty confidently. While watching the latest live stream, Addie goes down. Only Jolene witnesses what happened.
Jolene possesses grit! Her strength amazes me. She tries to tell the librarian, the police and her mom about the crash, but no one believes her. Her mother, addicted to opiods, can't even get out of bed or provide much food, so she is incapable of helping anyway. It's up to Jolene. She takes her map and supplies and decides she will save Addie.
Jolene takes the bus and meets a 17-year old girl, Marty, who ends up being the perfect person to encounter. Fate intervenes, so to speak. Marty can't let a young girl (11 or 12 years old) go into the desert alone. She doesn't exactly believe Jolene, but she is willing to help, at least.
The rest of the novel is Jolene's determination to get to Addie no matter what. She lucks out a few times, but Marty is just as determined to keep Jolene in her sights. Finding Addie presents even more difficulties. You will be inspired by Jolene and Marty's tenacity. Jolene believes she can achieve this feat, and that belief saves them all. (
