Böcker av Trevor N Stubbs

Three years in the life of a mixed race teenager growing up on a predominately white West Yorkshire council estate. Tabitha is different. Despite her love of nature and signs of hope, her nemesis enters the scene with devastating consequences

An anthology of illustrated short stories and poems on the theme of honest hope that does not deny the hard things. Here are pathways through suffering. There is no point in pretending that all is sweetness and light but neither should we ignore the possibility of light at the end of the tunnel.There is a lot about young people here. Our years as children and teenagers are crucial; these pages urge us all to listen to them and put them at the centre of our society.The Bible claims that the light of God seen in Jesus Christ shines in the darkness and the darkness has neither understood it nor put it out. These stories and poems are designed to direct us towards that light and the love and joy that goes with it from wherever we may find ourselves.There are sections headed: Winning Through, Rainbows, Lockdown, Teenage Life, Families, A Wider World, Christmas and God and Creation.
