Children's Rights
This Commentary is a fully up-to-date, solid legal work on children’s rights. It offers a contemporary legal perspective on the inherently interdisciplinary field of children’s rights. It responds to the scarcity of legal commentaries in a landscape where several handbooks covering different disciplines have been published in recent years. It is succinct and seeks to capture the essence, yet offers a sophisticated analysis of children’s rights law and branches out into other disciplines where relevant in light of the recent legal and social developments.

Fiona
Fiona Clarke, an Irish writer living in New York, has been running away from her past since she left rural Cregora, Ireland, for boarding school. That past finds her, many years later, when her thinly veiled autobiographical novel is optioned for a movie. Working as the film's consultant, Fiona unearths deep secrets, relives childhood trauma, and connects with an estranged family thrust back into her life. As her history opens upon her, Fiona must stop running and confront her secret shame: her long-held sense of responsibility over the death of her little sister.
The Goodbye Girl
Lahat tayo nagmamahal. Pero hindi lahat, minamahal. ’Yung iba, niloloko, sinasaktan, iniiwan. May ibang binubulungan ng “I love you.” May ibang tinatanong ng “Will you marry me?” At may iba na sinasabihan ng “Goodbye.” Ito ay para sa lahat ng nagmahal, pero nasaktan at naiwan . . . para sa mga nagpapaalam. Para sa mga Goodbye Girl. The Goodbye Girl is a compilation of short, witty, and heartwarming essays about heartache, heartbreak, and moving on. Noringai introduces readers to the five types of “goodbye girl”: the invisible girl, the other girl, the heartbroken girl, the bitter girl, and finally, the new girl. It is her hope that readers can “find comfort, hope, and even humor in every story,” and make them realize that what they are feeling “may be universal, but it’s just temporary.”
