Though the novel feels uneven in places, with a prolonged beginning and abrupt plot developments toward the end involving Mira discovering heretofore unknown family members, Kephart ( One Stolen Thing) establishes relatable characters and a poetic style that artfully blend the island days before and after the storm. Days from rescue, Mira and friend Deni search for survivors while the rest of the town gathers resources. Early in my adult life, I tried hard to recreate the story of my childhood. Using her forward thinking and bravery, Mira survives the storm and joins the trash-strewn beach with its collection of islanders reeling after half the town is washed away. Human, teacher, mother, yogi, who likes to share thoughts and observations about the world around us and the world within. Though 17-year-old Mira loves her family, she wishes life were simpler for them-a wish she regrets when a hurricane pummels the island while her mother and brother are on the mainland. Having a younger brother with Hunter syndrome is hard on Mira Banul and her mother, Mickey, who works multiple jobs to pay for Jasper Lee’s treatments and necessities for the cottage they inherited from Mira’s aunt on the barrier island of Haven. The classification of the ship types sometimes implies a degree of cultural embarrassment of the power they can potentially wield, for example their renaming of Demilitarised Rapid Offensive Units ((D)ROUs) as "Very Fast Pickets", whether or not they are actually "Demilitarised", while later the term "picket ship" is used to describe an Abominator-class General Offensive Unit, one of the most powerful front-line warship classes ever built by the Culture. Warship names are similar in retaining the whimsical nature, though the humour tends to be more cynical and threatening. The Minds choose their own names, and thus they usually express something about a particular Mind's attitude, character or aims in their personal life. The machine intelligences called Minds (and, as a consequence, the Culture starships that they inhabit) usually bear names that do a little more than just identify them.

His memoir records the story of his devotion and determination to connect and teach students whose previous educational experience was uninspired, authoritarian and ineffective.

If anything, women with more power and status are scrutinized more and the pressure to look beautiful only gets worse.

The beauty myth claims that there is an elusive quality called “beauty” – a quality that women should do everything in their power to pursue, achieve and maintain. These images are being used with growing efficiency to work against the progress women have made, creating what is known as a beauty myth.
