Life Lessons

[close] Lime Tree Plant believes that young people should have the opportunity to experience worlds other than their own, and they can start with a book. The Outlier Book Club, inspired by Malcolm Gladwell's 'Outliers', selects books that tell the success stories of inspirational people who have defied the odds against them. We would love to have you reading with us!

[close] A place where we can discuss, compare, contrast, argue (respectfully) and in general digress on the "canon" series (ICoS, SF, TA & CP) of the m/m genre and other popular m/m genre series in a *spoiler filled* zone. So basically a place to move all the conversations we have been having while hijacking others' threads for our own intellectual debate purposes to a proper forum. The "ENDORSE THIS BOOK" section will be the only spoiler free zone, so please read threads with caution if you haven't read a series yet.

[close] Many memoirs tell stories of success, but I'm often more moved by stories of struggle, failure, and redemption. I recently completed a memoir titled 'Coping to Survive' soon to be published, in which I share the painful reality of living with alcoholism for 40 years, the damage it caused to my family, and the incredible grace God showed me when I thought there was no way back. One question has stayed with me throughout this journey: Can someone who has spent decades trapped in addiction truly change, or are some wounds simply too deep to heal? I'd love to hear your thoughts and book recommendations. My hope is that conversations like these remind us that no one is beyond redemption and that healing often begins with telling the truth. Looking forward to hearing your perspectives.
