How did I get here, and how do I make it stop? If addiction is a coin, then the addict is heads, and the codependent is tails. Three marriages, three kids, four homes, and two dogs later, life is far from where it should be--the housewife of a successful, stable, godly man and the mother of four boys. Growing up in a conservative minister's home, living by faith, and trying very hard shouldn't drive you into the hands of a drug addict. Or should it? Maybe there truly is hope when your life keeps splitting apart.

Meet Doug, an ordinary kid who doesn't like hugs, in this fun and exuberant story which aims to spark discussions about bodily autonomy and consent--from author Carrie Finison and the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of The World Needs More Purple People, Daniel Wiseman. Doug doesn't like hugs. He thinks hugs are too squeezy, too squashy, too squooshy, too smooshy. He doesn't like hello hugs or goodbye hugs, game-winning home run hugs or dropped ice cream cone hugs, and he definitely doesn't like birthday hugs. He'd much rather give a high five--or a low five, a side five, a double five, or a spinny five. Yup, some people love hugs; other people don't. So how can you tell if someone likes hugs or not? There's only one way to find out: Ask! Because everybody gets to decide for themselves whether they want a hug or not.
