Getting Dumped . . . and Getting Over It

Everyone gets dumped! And although it may feel like the end of the world, it’s not. Focusing on the first romances of younger teen girls, this thoughtful, supportive guide lets girls know that there is life after being dumped. Cylin Busby explores all of the emotions that come with getting dumped and how to deal with them from day one to months later. Girls even discover what it’s like to be in the dubious position of being ‘the dumper.’ With personal accounts from real girls and practical advice offered in a heartfelt, teen friendly tone, Getting Dumped is the perfect helper for a healing heart.

The Year We Disappeared

The extraordinary true story of a family, a brutal shooting, and the year that would change their lives forever. When Cylin Busby was nine years old, she was obsessed with Izod clothing, the Muppets, and her pet box turtle. Then, in the space of a night, everything changed. Her police officer father, John, was driving to work when someone leveled a shotgun at his window. The blasts that followed left John’s jaw on the passenger seat of his car literally. Overnight, the Busbys went from being the ‘family next door’ to one under 24 hour armed guard, with police escorts to school, and no contact with friends. Worse, the shooter was still on the loose, and it seemed only a matter of time before he d come after John or someone else in the family again. With their lives unraveling around them, and few choices remaining for a future that could ever be secure, the Busby family left everything and everyone they had ever known and simply disappeared. As told by both father and daughter, this is a harrowing, and at times heartbreaking account of a shooting and its aftermath, even as it shows a young girl trying to make sense of the unthinkable, and the triumph of a family s bravery in the face of crisis.
