An Indie Next PickAn Amazon Debut Spotlight
A Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection "Like Wharton, Acampora seems to understand fiction as a kind of elegant design. As characters reappear in one story after another, Acampora reveals herself as a careful architect... lovely prose... often a single sentence twists sinuously, charged with positive and negative electricity."--New York Times Book Review Launched by four starred prepubs and a full page New York Times book review, The Wonder Garden marks Lauren Acampora's rarely seen, sensational entrance into the literary world. With enchanting realism, these linked stories bring to the page the myriad lives of a suburban town, and reveal at each turn the unseen battles we play out behind drawn blinds, the creeping truths from which we distract ourselves, and the massive dreams we haul quietly with us and hold close. Deliciously creepy and masterfully complex The Wonder Garden heralds the arrival of a phenomenal new talent in American fiction. "Acampora's stories show that an Anna Karenina principle still applies: All happy families are the same; the unhappy ones are miserable in their own special way. Or to boil it down to modern terms: mo' money, mo' problems ... Add well-drawn characters, interesting plots, cultural zingers and dead-on critiques of consumerism and Acampora delivers a page-turner."--Dallas Morning News "A smashing debut, with range, subtlety and bite. Reading Acampora, we're in Cheever country, with hints of Flannery O'Connor."--Jane Ciabattari, BBC.com "In 13 sharply drawn linked stories, Acampora reveals the complexities beneath the polish and privilege of a prosperous Connecticut town."--People

Great book for direction on how to help yourself!
Format: Kindle
This book, written for (as the title suggests) adult children of emotionally immature (EI) parents, provide wonderful insights into the psychology of EI people. Regardless of the emotional level of your parents, these books are a must-read for everyone. Why? Gibson kindly and directly delivers clear insights into EI behavior, which applies to any adult in your life.
Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: Honor Your Emotions, Nurture Your Self, and Live with Confidence, deals with caring for yourself in ongoing relationships with EI people. These techniques are grouped by where and when you may encounter EI people to use the book as a reference guide. If you are close to someone who exhibits EI behaviors, you can flip to that section. If you work with EI people, there's a section for coworkers. This book focuses on how you nurture yourself and your identity once you've worked on healing from childhood trauma.
Gibson does a superb job of sharing direct context about EI people. She pulls no punches about EI people's damage but gives space to encourage growth and break the multi-generational trauma.

This is a book not just for adult children of emotionally immature parents. It is a book for everyone! It was invaluable in helping me better understand myself and my relationships with others. I really liked the format of the book. It is divided into many interesting categories for easy referencing and reading. Dr. Gibson is an amazing writer. She certainly has deep insights and a very clear understanding of the human condition. I applaud her! All of my friends have been recipients of this wonderful book. I highly recommend it!!

Lindsay C. Gibson is a Life Changer
Format: Kindle
After reading Adult Children of Immature Parents I had to read her self care book and I’m also reading Who You We’re Meant to Be. She gets me!
Her writing helps shift my perspective and helps me not beat myself up for beliefs or behaviors I didn’t understand and couldn’t change. She put words to thoughts and feelings I believed I was the only person having. And she broadened the meaning of what self-care is and can be.
I feel more hopeful and I use her words as affirmations to help me practice her empowering insights.
I’m so grateful my therapist introduced me to Lindsay Gibson’s work.

Un gran libro
Format: Kindle
Me está gustando mucho este libro, y eso que aún no lo termino de leer.
Hay varias cosas de sentido común, pero que uno tiene qué recordar para poderlas llevar a cabo.
La disciplina es importante para lograr cosas.
