They dreamt of their future, of success, marriage...happiness. They were going to grow old by each other's side. But... "Kids are stupid." When tragic circumstances forced them apart, Dylan discovered that life wasn't the fairytale he dreamed of; it was dark, difficult, saturated with pain and shame.

He was good, positive, popular...everything Dylan would never be. What would happen if Dylan let him back into his world? Would he destroy Cameron too? Would his poison push him away like everyone else?"Everybody leaves.""They leave or they die." But what if...what if Cameron didn't?

The “refreshing . . . laugh-out-loud” #1 New York Times bestseller about life in the suburbs that was adapted into a classic film comedy (Kirkus Reviews). One day, Tony Award–winning playwright Jean Kerr packed up her four kids (and husband, Walter, one of Broadway’s sharpest critics), and left New York City. They moved to a faraway part of the world that promised a grassy utopia where daisies grew wild and homes were described as neo-gingerbread. In this collection of “wryly observant” essays, Kerr chronicles her new life in this strange land called Larchmont (TheWashington Post). It sounds like bliss—no more cramped apartments and nightmarish after-theater cocktail parties where the martinis were never dry enough. Now she has her very own washer/dryer, a garden, choice seats at the hottest new third-grade school plays (low overhead but they’ll never recoup their losses), and a fresh new kind of lunacy. In Please Don’t Eat the Daisies “Jean Kerr cooks with laughing gas” as she explores the everyday absurdities, anxieties, and joys of marriage, family, friends, home decorating, and maintaining a career—but this time with a garage! (Time).
This book aims to encourage the appreciation of these Australian daisies and to develop techniques for germinating and growing them. It is the result of five years of work by the Australian Daisy Study Group covering all of the species in twelve genera of everlasting daisies, many of which have not previously been described in readily accessible publications. The book has chapters on growing everlasting daisies, propagation, floral arrangements, floriculture, reproduction and hybridisation. Detailed species' descriptions are written in easy-to-understand language and illustrated with beautiful colour photographs. For each individual species there are sections on flowering period, propagation, cultivation and uses, distribution and habitat, and similar species. Where appropriate there are brief notes on hybridisation, name changes and relationships with other species. This is a comprehensive guide that will assist home gardeners, commercial growers, students of horticulture, amateur naturalists and visitors to wildflower areas throughout the continent.

Bobby Gerry was a child of privilege. His family had money that started with railroads and horses back in the late 19th century and was grown by subsequent generations until the family fortune was now so large that it became meaningless, especially to Bobby. He was never denied anything in his life and combining that with some liberal ideas of parenting by his mother, which included letting the child find their own path to maturity, Bobby was spoiled to the point of obscenity. As such, his social skills were atrocious. But then he met his match. And her name was Mistress Lillith. Lilith negotiated to get total control over Bobby's life and then the changes all began and a sissy baby began to appear. From the great writing of Christine Kringle
