Release of 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween', by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Scheduled For July 1, 2014

Sky Pony Press will release Dr. Holstein's very popular book for tweens, "The Truth I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything". The re-release is scheduled for July 1

 An expanded and updated edition of "The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything" will be released by Sky Pony Press on July 1, 2014.  The book has been retitled to "The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween".

Dr Holstein's novel is a fictional diary, written by an 11 year old girl, for girls, tweens and teens. The novel centers on the development of self-esteem and resiliency.

"Of course there are other diary books out for girls and tweens and even boys," Dr. Holstein stated. "But the difference between mine and say a series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, is that 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween', has been written by a positive psychologist (that’s me!) and every page is designed to encourage positive thinking, resiliency, positive self-regard, hopefulness, optimism, a recognition and valuing of one’s talents, strengths and potential, and much more. Every page can be used as a separate guidance lesson if one wished to. At the same time, the book is a page turner in its own right and kids enjoy the quick, easy read as they would any other really good fiction."

A Facebook page, thetruthforgirls, highlights many of the topics woven into "The Truth".  Articles, videos, remarks, conversations, visuals, on this page center around many of the issues that tweens face growing up.  These include: self-esteem issues, quarreling in families, divorce, moving to a new home, a new school, best friends, a crush, bullies, a death in the family, money issues, not feeling pretty, feeling sad, feeling lonely, jealousy and more. Dr. Holstein's book for teens and tweens is a first in using fiction for positive psychology.

Holstein's book covers issues that impact  today's teens and tweens. A secret entry written by the girl in The Truth in her  diary, demonstrates how a Selfie picture helps her feel better about  herself. 

"I hate Andrea.  She laughed as a walked by and said something about I looked like a toad.  It didn't make any sense what she said, except my sweater was green and maybe toads are green.  But after she said it I felt miserable anyway.  All day long I felt more and more ugly, hearing her chuckle and words in my head over and over.  When I got home I lay down on my bed and couldn't move.  I felt like everything good about me was sucked out of me.  Finally, I had to get up for supper.  Everyone asked what was wrong.  I didn't tell anyone.  It felt too bad to even share.  Later, after eating almost nothing but some peas (I love peas) I got an idea.  I went into the bathroom with my phone and locked the door.  I started to take Selfie pictures of myself.  At first it was hard to smile, but after awhile I felt a little better and I not only smiled, I was began to pose like I used to when I loved to look at myself in the mirror.  That was when I was a little kid, like 9.  Anyway, after I took about 20 pictures I mailed some of them to Angela and she wrote back right away saying how cute I looked!  Then she sent me some of herself and we began to text.  Soon I was okay again. I had found a way to get back at Andrea."

Her second book in The Truth Series is “Secrets: You Tell Me Yours and I’ll Tell You Mine…Maybe!”  Now the girl is 13. She handles many adolescent issues, including a crush, moving, a death in the family, feeling fat and problems with girlfriends.  'Secrets' provides a book kids and parents and grandparents can share and use as a sounding board for needed communication between the generations.

Both “The Truth” and “Secrets” are great for grandparents, older siblings and teachers to establish lines of communication with the tweens in their lives. Both books will be re-released by Sky Pony Press.

Dr. Holstein believes that getting in touch with one's strengths, talents and potential at every age, as well as learning how to hold on to the wise, playful, happy, gutsy and energetic girl that still resides within each woman is essential for mental health.

To assist this process she has written many books, including: case study material as presented in ‘The Enchanted Self, A Positive Therapy’; inspirational stories as presented in ‘Recipes for Enchantment, The Secret Ingredient is YOU’ and romance, mystery books designed to bring fun, excitement, romance and positive psychological truths into women's lives.  Latest books are:  Parts 1 and 2 of ‘Next Year in Jerusalem’, available in paper and as e-books; Parts 1,2 and 3 of ‘Next Year in Jerusalem’ are now available, incorporated into ‘Around Every Corner’ on Kindle.

In addition to running a thriving practice, Dr. Holstein is a very successful author. She is available for media interview and can be reached using the information below or by email at drbarbara@enchantedself.com. All of her works are available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all other online retailers. More information is available at her website at http://www.NewRomanceBooks.com.

Elaine Pereira, Author Of Award Winning Dementia Memoir 'I Will Never Forget', To Make Special Donation To Fund Alzheimer’s Research

Elaine Pereira's book, 'I Will Never Forget', a multi-award winning Dementia memoir, is the one book on Alzheimer's that no one else could write. Her book achieved top Amazon rankings.  Honoring Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Day this June 21st, Pereira will donate 40%

Elaine Pereira has written the one book on Dementia that no one else could write. She is a daughter who has lived the Dementia drama, an Occupational Therapist who understands the neurology and an unwavering caregiver. Pereira’s exclusive perspective has enabled her to produce a one-of-a-kind book about Dementia that encompasses several uniquely special approaches.

A recent article by Julie Delcour on the Tulsa World website, entitled "Battle For Adequate Alzheimer's Funding Rages On", brought out the fact Alzheimer's "is the only disease in the top 10 that currently has no cure, treatment or means of prevention."

Dr. Dennis Gillings agrees: “Dementia is a ticking time bomb, and with the global cost of dementia care expected to reach over $1 trillion, we cannot afford to nothing.”

“This is not an acceptable situation,” warns Vradenburg. “Something fundamental has to change. We need a concerted effort to change the trajectory of this disease and to mobilize a global assault on Alzheimer’s and dementia on the scale and scope that global institutions attacked polio in the 1950s and HIV/AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s.”

“It’s appalling,” Pereira stated, “that as funding for other diseases and conditions increases, research dollars for Alzheimer’s continues to stall.  No one is minimizing the adverse affects that a diagnosis of cancer, stroke or a heart attack has on an individual and their families.  But advancements in medical treatment for these issues abound allowing many patients to have full recoveries.

Not so with Alzheimer’s.  It is a fatal, neurological disease from which no one recovers. 

People with Alzheimer’s can linger for decades as they steadily lose their life skills, memory and thinking abilities.  As they drift back into the past and need increasingly more assistance and supervision, Alzheimer’s creates financial devastation on families to meet the increasing demand for long-term caregiver assistance.

Clearly we need ginormous increases in federal and private funding and fast. In the meantime, however, every donation helps, no matter how small."

"My mother’s journey through dementia was difficult, bewildering but also touching as those who have walked in my shoes understand so well," Pereira concluded.  "Alzheimer’s is a horrific disease that robs us of our loved ones and 'I Will Never Forget' is a tribute to caregivers everywhere.”

‘I Will Never Forget - A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous And Humorous Journey Through Dementia’ has received numerous, high-level industry awards. These include:

2013 Winner National Indie Excellence Award, Aging Category

2013 Bronze Winner Global EBook Awards, Aging Category
2013 Honorable Mention Reader's Favorite, Memoirs
2013 Finalist LuckyCinda Publishing Book Contest
2012 Finalist Best New Non-Fiction USA Book Awards & Hollywood Book Festival

Pereira will double her usual donation from 20% to 40% to Alzheimer’s from books sold specifically on June 21st.

Elaine Pereira is available for speaking engagements and media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at elainep@iwillneverforgetbook.com. ‘I Will Never Forget - A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous And Humorous Journey Through Dementia’ is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other book retailers. More information is available at Pereira’s website at http://www.IWillNeverForgetBook.com.
