New Book “Expelled” Follows One Family’s Fight Against School Bullying — and a Daughter’s Own Expulsion
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Anna Andrews has written "Expelled," a book based on her family’s experience with school bullying, published through Christian Faith Publishing. The book centers on Andrews’s youngest daughter, Emma, who the book says was targeted by persistent bullying starting at age eleven, with teachers dismissing the family’s requests for intervention.
The book recounts how Emma’s response to persistent bullying resulted in her expulsion and transfer to an alternative school serving students with behavioral challenges. The book follows her time there, where, per the announcement, she encounters other students with their own difficult histories, and traces what happens when she later attempts to return to mainstream school and finds that rumors and judgment follow her into the classroom.
Andrews describes the book as drawn from her family’s own experience. "This book needed to be written," she said in the announcement. "So many families are suffering in silence while schools fail to take meaningful action. I hope our story gives voice to those who feel unheard and shines a light on the urgent need for real change." The publisher positions the book as examining institutional indifference through the perspectives of Emma, her family members, and her parents.
"Expelled" is available in bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.
Stories like Andrews’s surface periodically in the wider conversation about how schools handle bullying complaints — including cases where students facing discipline say the underlying problem was bullying that administrators failed to address. For Studio CarryOnHarry, the recurring pattern in these accounts, of families feeling unheard until a crisis forces the issue, is the more interesting story than any single book.

Dawn E. Scaff has published a new poetry collection, "God Is Always Near," through Christian Faith Publishing. The book, released this year, gathers verses that emerged during her daily routine, including quiet mornings, times of worship, and moments of pause between activities.
Scaff’s path to the page runs through several decades. She immigrated to the United States from England in 1986 with her parents and brothers, served in the U.S. Air Force from 1991 to 1998, and now lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where she is a mother to one adult daughter and active in prayer ministry within her church community.
"These poems represent conversations between my soul and my Savior," Scaff said in a statement announcing the book. "I pray they become a companion to readers during their own spiritual journeys, pointing them always toward the God who is never far away."
The collection is built around a single throughline: that no one walks alone, regardless of circumstance. According to the publisher’s description, the poems are intended to offer comfort and encouragement by locating the presence of God in overlooked, everyday moments rather than in dramatic or extraordinary ones.
"God Is Always Near" is available in paperback and digital formats through major retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as through Christian Faith Publishing’s own site.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, what stands out here is the book’s premise itself: devotional poetry built from the unremarkable hours of a life, rather than its peak moments, which is a quieter pitch than most faith-based releases make.

New Book “Expelled” Follows One Family’s Fight Against School Bullying — and a Daughter’s Expulsion at Age Eleven
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Anna Andrews has written "Expelled," a first-person account of her family’s experience with school bullying, built around what happened to her youngest daughter, Emma. Published through Christian Faith Publishing, the book is drawn from Andrews’s own household, according to the announcement.
The book centers on Emma, who according to the announcement was the target of sustained bullying that school staff did not meaningfully address despite the family’s efforts to get help. Emma took action that resulted in her expulsion and enrollment in an alternative school for behaviorally troubled teens at just eleven years old, according to the source.
From there, the book follows Emma’s time at the alternative campus, where she encounters other displaced teenagers, and what happens when she’s given a chance to return to her original school. That return does not go smoothly: the announcement describes old rumors and judgment resurfacing on her first day back, undercutting the fresh start she’d been hoping for.
Andrews frames the book as being about more than her own daughter. The announcement describes her account as also covering the effect on siblings, the strain on parents dealing with an unresponsive school system, and the isolation a bullied child can feel when adults in charge don’t intervene. "This book needed to be written," Andrews said in the announcement. "So many families are suffering in silence while schools fail to take meaningful action. I hope our story gives voice to those who feel unheard and shines a light on the urgent need for real change."
"Expelled" is available through major booksellers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
School bullying and the question of institutional response have generated plenty of family memoirs and advocacy writing in recent years, and Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as one family’s attempt to add a detailed, personal account to that conversation rather than a policy argument — its value will likely rest on how specifically it renders what the Andrews family actually went through.
