Another Forgotten Child HarperCollins Publishers
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
A new memoir from Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Cathy Glass. Eight-year-old Aimee was on the child protection register at birth. Her five older siblings were taken into care many years ago. So no one can understand why she was left at home to suffer for so long. It seems Aimee was forgotten. The social services are looking for a very experienced foster carer to look after Aimee and, when she reads the referral, Cathy understands why. Despite her reservations, Cathy agrees to Aimee on - there is something about her that reminds Cathy of Jodie (the subject of 'Damaged' and the most disturbed child Cathy has cared for), and reading the report instantly tugs at her heart strings. When she arrives, Aimee is angry. And she has every right to be. She has spent the first eight years of her life living with her drug-dependent mother in a flat that the social worker described as 'not fit for human habitation'. Aimee is so grateful as she snuggles into her bed at Cathy's house on the first night that it brings Cathy to tears.Aimee's aggressive mother is constantly causing trouble at contact, and makes sweeping allegations against Cathy and her family in front of her daughter as well. It is a trying time for Cathy, and it makes it difficult for Aimee to settle. But as Aimee begins to trust Cathy, she starts to open up. And the more Cathy learns about Aimee's life before she came into care, the more horrified she becomes. It's clear that Aimee should have been rescued much sooner and as her journey seems to be coming to a happy end, Cathy can't help but reflect on all the other 'forgotten children' that are still suffering...

99 Percent Mine WILLIAM MORROW
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Readers and critics alike raved over Sally Thorne's smash hit debut novel, The Hating Game-which sold in over 20 countries. Now she's back with an unforgettable romantic comedy about a twin sister and brother struggling over an inheritance-and the sexy best friend who comes between them.Crush: a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach...... If Darcy Barrett hadn't met her dream man when she was eight years old, the rest of the male population wouldn't be such a let-down. No one measures up to Tom Valeska, aka the best man on Earth, not in looks, brain or heart. Even worse is the knowledge that her twin brother Jamie saw him first, and claimed him forever as his best friend.Tom's off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. One percent of Tom has had to be enough for Darcy, and her adoration has been sustained by his shy kindness. And if she's honest, his tight t-shirts.Now Darcy's got three months left to get her life together, before her twin insists on selling the tumble-down cottage they inherited from their grandmother. By night, she's working in a seedy bar, shooting down lame pickups from bikers. By day, she's sewing underwear for her best friend and wasting her award-winning photography skills on website shots of pens and novelty mugs. She's enjoying living the messy life, and a glass of wine or ten... until that one night, when she finds a six-foot-six perfect package on her porch.Tom's here, he's bearing power tools-and he's single for the first time in a decade.As a house flipper extraordinaire, Tom has been dispatched by Jamie to give the cottage a drastic facelift that will result in a ton of cash. Darcy doesn't appreciate Tom's unsentimental approach to knocking down walls, and he really, really doesn't approve of her current burnout boyfriend. They can't be in the same room together without sparks flying- and it's not the faulty wiring. One bedroom wall separates them at night, and even that's looking flimsy.Will Tom ever see Darcy as anything other than a little-sister obstacle to get around? And can she stand up to her most formidable opponent-her twin? This time around, she's determined to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers, and he's never managed to say no to her yet...

Alcohol-free Books on Demand
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
A cold beer to cool down, a glass of red wine to relax - for many people this is quite normal. Drinking alcohol is an integral part of our culture. We drink because it tastes good and because (almost) everyone does it. However, we all too easily forget that even 0.3 per mille can lead to alcohol intoxication and have health consequences. Regina Toedter shows how easy it can be to consciously say no to alcohol with Alkohol-free. The 50 best tips. It helps you to question your own drinking behaviour and provides a self-test for your individual status quo. Because being "alcohol-free" means feeling better and fitter, looking fresher and healthier, being more flexible and more alert.2015 Original edition published by Trias Verlag Stuttgart by MVS Medizinverlage Stuttgart (Germany). 2nd edition reprinted in 2019 by Goldmann Verlag by Random House Munich (Germany).
