Hagués preferit que s'aprofundis més en això i que no es quedés tan a l'aire. Precisament l'intent de suïcidi de la noia és culpa de la seva mare...

The sexuality of the couple is of no relevance to Kayla; they are stable and very supportive. Without reason, she is guilt-riddled about burdening the childless ladies especially because they were not obligated to accept such a huge responsibility. Kayla's mother had always been ignorant and in denial about her condition hence sending her away. As a result, their mother-daughter relationship continued to be strained and dispassionate. Key ideas to consider when creating your place in relation to its environment--from the surrounding landscape to local community. Home Home by Lisa Allen-Agostini is the 2017 third place winner of the Burt Award for Caribbean Young Adult Literature. Temptation is always in our way though. New products. Old products marketed in new ways. Trends. Theories. The cult of people and places. We need to wade through all of this to stay true to ourselves. However, when we have a clear idea of what we value, trends fall into insignificance. When we see how others have decorated their home, we can appreciate it but we don't feel an urge to replicate it. When we are surrounded by limitless choice and a constant stream of ideas, our values create a roadmap that is uniquely our own."Surrounding spaces: Key ideas to consider when creating your place in relation to its environment - from the surrounding landscape to local community. My favorite parts of the novel are Kayla's periodic journal entries. In this therapeutic exercise, she reveals more personal information, which makes it easier to connect with her and understand her actions and motivations. The relationship between Kayla and her aunts runs a close second. How our homes can function as a place to rest our bodies, rejoice in our relationships, and restore our values.

in the burgeoning creative community of Australia's Byron Bay. Take an insider’s tour of eighteen homes belonging to Lisa Allen-Agostini does a great job getting inside Kayla’s head and showing the difficulty of mental illness in a young teen with few coping skills. I could understand why young Kayla felt so unloved by her mother and out of place on an island of people who didn’t have open, nonjudgmental dialogue about mental illness. I wish Allen-Agostini had shown positive aspects of the country and people to give readers a more balanced view of Trinidad. Home Home is the story of a depressed Trinidadian teenager, Kayla, who is sent to live with her Aunt in Canada. Whilst there, Kayla must come to terms with her mental health, her new family and indeed her new home. I received it for review from the publisher and was grateful for the offer: I want to find these sorts of books and see them participating within the world, and Home Home more than holds its own. It's worthy of attention on a thousand different levels. When we focus on the values we want in our home, making decisions about how it will look is far easier. He’s gives a great outline she expands on regarding how to make a home:This book was well written, thoughtfully put together, and had lovely relaxing pictures. I did not agree with every single piece of philosophy, however, there was much to learn from it and I truly enjoyed it. I could definitely see myself revisiting this book. The book is kinda tough to read in terms of mental health. The narrator attempt suicide, has several nervous breakdowns, and has an overall negative life view. It’s pretty hard to enter into the sadness and sit with it in the way that the author asks the audience to do in the novel. It is also heartbreaking to read about a girl so young struggling with so much. At the centre of it all is Kayla. I loved that she was allowed to be ordinary. Even as others limited prejudices around mental illness impacted her, she too had her own misconceptions to unlearn about others. I loved that Allen-Agostini took her to a place where, faced with the possibility of returning to a more unsupportive environment in Trinidad, it would be harder for her but she would still be okay. I loved this book!!! This story was so adorable and should be read by every person who has ever migrated.
