Shanile Goggins was that rare kind of teenager. At 19, this smart and savvy Ohio State University student was hardworking, churchgoing and goal-oriented. She volunteered in homeless shelters, and wanted to be a senator, working to improve the lives of the elderly. Then one day while working her after-school job, she felt a pain in her chest. Her life would never be the same.The Summer that Changed My Life is about Shaniles painful but inspiring journey that followed her diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma. In her own words, Shanile describes the complex mix of emotions as she faces uncertain cancer-treatment options all the while continuing in a job and donating time to charity. From chemotherapy and a couple of painful transplants, Shaniles world is dominated by hospital visits, but also hope. Hope from a supportive family, and from her devout belief in and understanding of God.Heartfelt, candid and uniquely comforting, The Summer that Changed My Life is about the will to fight even when the odds are stacked against you. It is about making peace with the Lord, confident in His righteousness. And it is about the lasting impact Gods children have upon us, long after they are gone.

It's summertime, and thirteen-year-old Nina Ross is feeling kind of lost. Her beloved grandma died last year; her parents work all the time; her brother's busy; and her best friend is into clothes, makeup, and boys. While Nina doesn't know what "her thing" is yet, it's definitely not shopping and makeup. And it's not boys, either. Though . . . has Eli, the boy next door, always been so cute? This summer, Nina decides to change things. She hatches a plan. There are sixty-five days of summer. Every day, she'll anonymously do one small but remarkable good thing for someone in her neighborhood, and find out: does doing good actually make a difference? Along the way, she discovers that her neighborhood, and her family, are full of surprises and secrets. In this bighearted, sweetly romantic novel, things may not turn out exactly as Nina expects. They might be better.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Anna Quindlen presents a “swift and compelling paean to the joys of books” (Booklist). “Like the columns she used to write for the New York Times, [How Reading Changed My Life] is tart, smart, full of quirky insights, lapidary, and a pleasure to read.”—Publishers Weekly “Reading has always been my home, my sustenance, my great invincible companion. . . . Yet of all the many things in which we recognize universal comfort—God, sex, food, family, friends—reading seems to be the one in which the comfort is most undersung, at least publicly, although it was really all I thought of, or felt, when I was eating up book after book, running away from home while sitting in a chair, traveling around the world and yet never leaving the room. . . . I read because I loved it more than any activity on earth.”—from How Reading Changed My Life
