Is it still education if no one’s learning? In Bearing a Burden: The Challenges Surrounding the Education System, author and mother Nova James pulls back the curtain on a system that’s quietly failing the very people it’s meant to serve. With a blend of personal stories, classroom insights, and bold, practical ideas, this book asks the hard questions, then dares to offer hopeful answers. Why are students bored and teachers burnt out? How did curiosity get replaced with compliance? Most importantly, what can we do, right now, to shift the system two degrees at a time? This isn’t about blame.

In Queen of Hearts: Born a Lemon, Nova tells on herself; candidly, unapologetically, and often hilariously. She takes you through the surgeries, the setbacks, the sarcastic remarks that got her through, and the signs that kept showing up to remind her that she was never as alone as she felt.

We were sent to Glennmare Academy. An elite boarding school on a windswept island off the coast of Seattle where the unruly daughters of affluent East Coast families are exiled. Kitty, Bernie, Coretta, Diane, Jolie. We're more like sisters than roommates. Even if Kitty is gone. At Glennmare, each bed is filled with a teenage girl who wears ribbons in her hair, a nod to innocence we lost long ago. When we were sent out into the world, away from home, to fend to for ourselves. If we start telling the truth about what happened that night we might just break down.
