Issue Books

[Jennifer, The Paranormal One]

Books can help us deal with tough issues and bring more awareness to these issues. Name some great issue books that dealt with difficult subject matters such as bullying, depression, loss, suicide, cutting, eating disorders, addiction, abusive relationships, teenage pregnancy, etc.

Reason to Breathe

The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen and White Trash Beautiful by Teresa Mummert are some of my favorites! I read By The Time You Read This I'll Be Dead by Julie Anne Peters, but in my opinion it was extremely shallow, and took on waaaay too many tough subjects for a 200-page book...

For me the book "The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic" real brought my issues home. Since I was having trouble with a guy at the time and the character who's name was also Nora was having a hard time with her husband who had cheated on her and was completely bad. I could relate to the book because Nora wanted to escape her reality just like me.
