Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. They tell you love is a fairy tale. They are lying.Love is a perimeter. It is built in the dark, with calloused hands and a heavy coat, on the absolute refusal to walk away.Whispers Behind Paper Hearts is not pretty poetry. It is a chronological survival manual of a marriage - written by a man who learned about devotion from the wreckage, not from a movie script.Brian Edward McDermott spent twenty-six years as a psychiatric nurse navigating the heavy doors of human trauma. Before that, he survived a divorce, took full custody of his two children, and learned exactly what it costs to hold the line as a single father. Then he met Ann, and for twenty years they built a sanctuary that the world could not break.Through thirty-three visceral, grounded pieces, McDermott traces the entire lifecycle of a blue-collar romance. The desperate math of unpaid electric bills. The stubborn pride of sleeping on the couch. The quiet dignity of a scuffed linoleum floor. The final, clinical reality of a hospital waiting room.This is for the ones who know that true love isn't forged in the easy days.It is built in the dark.Welcome to the baseline.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Some gangs have a captain. Some have a map-keeper. Some have a kid with a five-dollar bill and a very generous heart.The Gang of Dandelion Street has them all.Meet Tommy, who never backed down from anything. Stevie, who could disappear into a tree like a squirrel. Jenny, who drew the routes in crayon and led them like a general. Billy, who built a catapult out of scrap wood and pure determination. Lester, whose allowance funded every candy run and picture show. Louie, who could talk a grumpy grown-up right back out of their frown. And the one who remembers all of it - because that turns out to be the most important job of all.This is a story about the kids you grew up with, the streets you ruled, and the summers that lasted forever and ended too fast.For every child who ever had a gang - and every adult who still misses theirs.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. After twenty-six years on the locked psychiatric units, Brian Edward McDermott knows that behind every heavy door is a human being having a profoundly confusing time.Whispers Behind Locked Doors is a raw, unflinching collection of poetry and medical realism that captures the trauma, the pitch-black humor, and the quiet victories of the behavioral health frontlines. This is the chart they don't let you read - until now.From the laminated badge that clips on at six AM to the four-thirty AM phone call from a mother who has not slept. From the quiet room that nobody calls a cell to the shift change conducted in clinical code. From the new admit who hands over her rosary at midnight to the discharge who finally remembers your name.Through thirty grounded, visceral poems, McDermott walks readers through a single day on a locked unit - the count, the meds, the family meeting, the group therapy session, the drive home in silence at seven AM. Every poem is a small open door into a world the rest of America never sees.This is for the psych nurses, the techs, the social workers, the residents, and the families holding vigil in the lobby. For everyone who has ever wondered what really happens behind the heavy door.Welcome to the perimeter. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. One small bird. One big world. One very long day.From the first wingbeat to the last porch light, Pip-Pip's Dandy Adventure follows a tiny hummingbird through the best and most frightening things a garden can offer - bees and bullies, sunflowers and storms, the cold shadow of Old Hawk, and the soft breath that pushes through fear.Along the way Pip-Pip discovers that bravery is not the absence of trembling - it's the wingbeat that comes anyway. That small can still be brave. That a life is still a life, right here. And that home is not a place you find. It's the place where your wings are recognized.A picture book for children ages 5-11 and the adults who read alongside them - the first journey in the Mudpies Universe.
