Here’s the set-up:
BOOK ONE: THE NEVER DAWN
REVIEW: “I devoured this book. Designed as fiction for Young Adults, the author has layered elements of dystopian futures reminiscent of 1984 and a Brave New World with punchy descriptions and believable characterisation that will intrigue readers of all ages. I read a lot of books and second guess a lot of them. I just didn’t see that ending coming at all. I have just begun the sequel, and I only hope that if lives up to the first. Thanks to the author for an excellent diversion!” Holly J Goodall, UK
DESCRIPTION: All his young life, Noah has longed to see the sky he’s only heard about in stories. For over one hundred years, Noah’s people have toiled deep beneath the Earth preparing for The New Dawn – the historic day when they will emerge to reclaim the land stolen by a ruthless enemy.
But when Rebekah, the girl of his forbidden desire, discovers a secret their leader has been so desperate to keep, Noah suspects something is wrong. Together, they escape and begin the long climb to the surface. But nothing could prepare them for what awaits outside.

Life Launch: A Roadmap to an Extraordinary Adulthood
by Jesse Giunta Rafeh
5.0 stars – 12 reviews
Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:
I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. When you transition from teenager to adult, it can feel like you’re expected to simply know what to do. On the one hand, adulthood is great; you get to decide what kind of life you want to have, and the freedom to pursue it your own way. But reality is tough. When it comes to building relationships, a career, and a financial future, where do you start? What does your “own way” even look like? Without the answers, it’s easy to fall into anxiety, anger, and depression—and lose focus on the big picture you’re trying to build. With her fifteen years of experience in young-adult-focused therapy and coaching, Jesse Giunta Rafeh now reaches out to a wider audience with this accessible, practical guide to creating an extraordinary adulthood. In Life Launch, Jesse transforms intuition into practice, giving you a map to the questions you should be asking yourself. Unlike other books, she doesn’t tell you what to do–instead, you’ll build the roots of your perspective to unlock the insight you already possess. Combining deep self-reflection work with accountability and structure, you’ll come away with a 360-degree view on the entirety of your adult life–what to do when you’re lost, what kind of future you can envision, and the power you have to create it.

Breakthrough : Surviving Alzheimer’s and Why You Can Too
by Peter Dredge
4.9 stars – 12 reviews
Here’s the set-up:
Ann Dredge was a fit, active woman. A keen cyclist and sportswoman. But after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, she became unable to walk or talk and was expected to die within six months Incredibly, three years later, she’s alert and responding to her carers! This book is a roadmap for those whose loved ones demonstrate early symptoms of Alzheimer’s and shows that, with determination and dedication, it may be possible to arrest their decline and even recover lost function. It’s an inspiring story, offering hope to sufferers and carers alike. Alzheimer’s is fast becoming the biggest medical, social and financial challenge of this century. “Today around 50 million people in the world display Alzheimer’s symptoms, a figure expected to increase to 150 million globally by 2050. To put it in another perspective, by 2050 nearly half of people over age 85 will display Alzheimer’s symptoms.” This means that soon, if it hasn’t happened already, someone you love will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. What will you do? That’s the question Peter Dredge faced when his wife, Ann, was diagnosed in 2012. For a start, he threw himself into learning more about Alzheimer’s. He learned it’s not so much a disease as a range of symptoms with many possible causes. Current research has identified over 40 possible contributing factors including lifestyle, genetics and environmental exposure. And yet Peter found most medical practitioners believe Alzheimer’s sufferers are doomed to an inevitable, terminal outcome. Their “treatment” recommendation is sedation and palliative care. However, Peter discovered research teams who are achieving high levels of success treating people with early stage Alzheimer’s symptoms. ‘Breakthrough’ describes his journey in uncovering the new treatment protocols and gaining access for Ann. You’ll be glad you read it.
