I want people who are continually pushing me out of my comfort zone.” His inspiration was Doris Kearns Goodwin’s best-selling book about Abraham Lincoln, who appointed three men who had been his chief competitors for the presidency in 1860-and who held him, at that point, in varying degrees of contempt-to help him keep the Union together during the Civil War.

Hopkins has also suggested that there is more of her life in her books than most people realize, though she has admitted to mining interesting tidbits from the lives of some of her family members. The author has never fought against suggestions that her books might actually be about Cristal’s escapades (Cristal is Hopkins’ daughter from her first marriage). Whenever she is asked about her literary inspirations, Hopkins is quick to mention her daughter Cristal. While her young adult books have a dedicated fanbase, she has also made a few waves with adult novels like Collateral that take an even darker tone because they explore uniquely disturbing aspects of the human psyche. Elements like drug addiction and mental illness tend to liter Ellen Hopkins’ books. She eventually leaped into fiction, focusing her attention on the issues and struggles teenagers typically face and how they normally overcome them. She went on to write books like Air Devils which didn’t exactly strike a chord amongst readers. ![]() The author’s initial focus was nonfiction books targeted towards children. When Ellen finally got around to writing in 1990, she had more than enough material to fill quite a few books. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Abdul kalam autobiography![]() ![]() He is a highly experienced engineer and has achieved many successes in his career.

Hoover does a fantastic job handling sensitive subjects with compassion and understanding but not excuses. What determines a person's character aren't the mistakes we make. I think the book can be summed up by a paragraph on page 192, "All humans make mistakes. In "It Ends With Us", the book opens with Lily, at age 23, having been in Boston for two years. I also read that a prequel is coming out in October 2022 titled " It Starts With Us" that will tell us more about Lily's first love, Atlas. I've read that this book was written a few years ago but is experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to TikTok. Since I always keep a real book by the toilet, this became the book.
