Youth Counselor’s Life: Hawaiian Sunrise to Sunset Published by Outskirts Press
Outskirts Press announces the latest highly anticipated educator’s autobiographical book from Honolulu, HI author, Randall Ng.
Honolulu, HI, July 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Hawaiian Sunrise to Sunset: A Middle School Counselor's Diary of a Working Day by Randall Ng. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the educator’s autobiography category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/sunrisetosunset was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Living in Hawaii and working with kids all day might sound like Paradise, but the reality of working as a middle school counselor and servicing kids in a low-income neighborhood is very different.
Told as the story of a typical working day, Hawaiian Sunrise to Sunset gives an inspiring, eye-opening and sobering view into the life of a man who has dedicated all his resources to making children’s lives better. Randall Ng’s students run the gamut from gifted to gang members; from at-risk to motivated; from safe in loving families to abused by parents and caregivers. Randall knows that to make a difference in the lives of these kids, he has to go above and beyond the call of duty, and he has to think outside the box. Randall transcends the typical role of school counselor as he visits students at home, confronts them and their parents with the truth, finds wildly creative solutions to problems with no easy answer, and steps in as a father figure to children who have never known a reliable and caring authority.
Surprising, shocking, fascinating, and ultimately deeply redemptive, this book shows readers what tough love looks like and what it can accomplish in the lives of children at risk.
193 pages in length, Hawaiian Sunrise to Sunset: A Middle School Counselor's Diary of a Working Day is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the educator’s autobiography category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Hawaiian Sunrise to Sunset meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $8.95.
Additionally, Hawaiian Sunrise to Sunset can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
