You may have guessed that Holly's cloud is a manifestation of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and her therapist aims to treat it with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP).

Ultimately, this story provides a blueprint for recovery, which shows young readers that standing up to their compulsion clouds will bring them back to the light.

"When sixteen-year-old Joel Scrivener has a raging nightmare in study hall and someone records it on their phone, he awakens to a living nightmare where everyone knows the secret he's avoided for ten years. Reeling from a series of bullying incidents posted on YouTube and an ill-timed mid-year move, Joel takes to the woods, leaving the bullies and his broken home behind. However, life as a runaway isn't easy. Joel finds it difficult to navigate break-ins, wrestle hallucinations, and elude capture. He races to figure out who his dream-world attacker could be, piecing clues together with flashes of remembered images that play endlessly inside his head. Besides these images, the one constant thought occupying Joel's mind is Amber Walker, the girl he's been in love with for years. Amber sees little beyond the broken boy Joel has become, despite the letters they've written back and forth to each other. But Joel is stronger and more resilient than he looks, and it's time he convinces Amber of this fact, before he runs out of chances with her for good."--Publisher's description.

In Search of a Father''s Footsteps, a collection of real-life case studies, introduces us to seven people who seem to be completely different, but share one thing in common: all of them have grown up without a father present. Whether consciously or unconsciously, each one searches to fill the void this has left in their lives. Nine-year-old Lilly, for one, can''t hide her feelings. Instead, she becomes obsessed with finding a husband for her mother - and a father for herself.Meanwhile, others can''t relate to or understand men, who are either idealised or demonised by how the protagonists imagine these unfamiliar figures to be. Some even look for their fathers in real life or in their partners and lovers, leading to disappointment when they''re unable to find the person for whom they truly yearn. But all is not lost for the people we meet in In Search of a Father''s Footsteps: they eventually feel closure through therapy.Note: Cover design by Kitty Turner.
