New Releases by Lisa Weldon

Lisa''s world collapsed the year she turned 58. Her 25-year marriage ended; the only home her children had ever known fell into foreclosure; and her last child left the nest. Her financial lifeline, her career in advertising, had gone stagnant. From under the crushing realities a wild idea popped into her head. What if she went away for 30 days, all alone to New York City and took a crash course to learn the new digital ways of her business? After class she could sneak in a 1-mile walk, each day treating herself to a different neighborhood of Manhattan, the place she''d always dreamed of living. Using the lessons she''d learn, she could share stories and photos from her daily walks, all in hopes of reinventing herself professionally. It seemed like the perfect plan, and it was. However-the real truth she found on the streets of Manhattan never made it to her blog. Only in her personal diary did she share the rawness of what she learned about herself ... and all she needed to do to make the changes she wanted. In her memoir, Twenty Pieces, Lisa Weldon shares what she learned.

My name is Lisa Weldon and I am the author of the second book in the Handicapable book series, Lola Goes to School. As we saw in the first book, Lola is infatuated with anything to do with the princess theme. However, don''t let that quality fool you. While sitting in her "princess mobile," she is sassy and spunky enough to stand up for herself and her friends. In this book, the main character Lola, along with three other children with special needs, courageously confront a group of bullies. The idea of this book is to show, that understanding and respecting each other''s differences is possible and can have positive results.

My name is Lisa Weldon. I am the author of HandiCAPABLE. I''d like to take a moment to introduce you to the main character of this book named Lola. She is a five year old vibrant little girl who is wheelchair bound. Lola considers herself to be a princess as opposed to being handicapped. Lola''s wheelchair, better known as the "princess mobile," shows how much she loves anything to do with the princess theme. She possesses great qualities likes strength and compassion. Lola is wise beyond her years. In this book we see how Lola''s positive personality enables her to accept her circumstances, yet be hopeful about them changing. My hope is that through Lola, the readers will be inspired and encouraged by seeing how this courageous little girl embraces her life. My dream is for this book HandiCAPABLE and it''s main character, Lola, to give a voice to children with special needs. HandiCAPABLE, a book that the entire family can be inspired by and enjoy!
