Three Dog Day
Author: Lia Farrell
Publisher: Epicenter Press
ISBN: 160381972X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
It's bitter cold in Rosedale, Tennessee, the most frigid January in decades. The kind of chill they used to describe as requiring sleeping with three dogs just to make it through the night. Mae December has found yet another body, this one on the banks of the Little Harpeth River. It's another murder for her boyfriend, Sheriff Ben Bradley, to investigate. Only Mae's broken her wrist, which makes helping out with the case difficult. That's okay, because the murdered man was found near a puppy mill, and all evidence points to the owner as the killer. Surely the case will be a slam dunk. Mae's injury also hampers her ability to run her dog boarding business and care for the three pit bull puppies she's fostering, so she hires Ray Fenton, the kid who blew the whistle on the now-shuttered puppy mill. Meanwhile, Sheriff Bradley's office manager, Dory Clarkson, struggles to pass the physical tests that will allow her to fulfill her dream of becoming a deputy, Mae and her friend Tammy are busy planning Tammy's Valentine's Day wedding to the brother of Mae's deceased fiancé, and Detective Wayne Nichols must revisit his painful past as he fights to free his foster mother from prison. Rosedale is the last place you'd expect to harbor a killer. Now the sheriff's department must solve its third murder in a year. Three Dog Day is the third book in the Mae December mystery series, which began with One Dog Too Many.

Life and Loss
Author: Linda Goldman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100042376X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
For decades, Life and Loss has been the book clinicians have relied on for a full and nuanced presentation of the many issues with which grieving children grapple, as well as an honest exploration of the interrelationship between unresolved grief, educational success, and responsible citizenry. This classic edition, which includes a new preface from the author, brings this exploration firmly into the twenty-first century and makes a convincing case that children’s grief is no longer restricted only to loss-identified children. Children’s grief is now endemic; it is global. Life and Loss is not just the book mental health professionals need to understand grief in the twenty-first century—it’s the book they need to work with grief in a practical and constructive way.

Settlement
Author: Christoph Hein
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 0805077685
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
"Christoph Hein's novel tells Bernhard Haber's story across nearly fifty years, chronicling his remarkable rise from victimized outsider to Guldenberg's most prominent burgher. Recounted in the voices of five people who had some part in Haber's life - a schoolmate, a girlfriend, a sister-in-law, an accomplice in smuggling people to the West, and a local business associate - a collective portrait emerges of a whole town roiled by political turmoil, of a society where decency is always stained with cynicism." "For Bernhard, though, what began as a geographic dislocation evolves into a personal quest: the thirst for vengeance yields to the deeper need for a home, and settling down proves more important than settling grudges. As the socialist state gives way to reunification and the capitalism of the 1990s, Hein's multivoiced narration charts the transformation not just of one man but of an entire nation struggling to leave history behind and claim a home."--BOOK JACKET.
