![]() It reached the best seller list in five countries. GHOST GIRL went on to become Torey’s second most popular book after ONE CHILD. The issue was resolved by including a lengthy epilogue which had to be rewritten fifteen times before it was accepted. As it is a true story and not fiction, Torey found it difficult to come up with a more suitable ending. ![]() GHOST GIRL was Torey’s first book to upset publishers and to be returned for re-writing. ![]() At the time of writing GHOST GIRL, she was concerned at the number of people jumping on the various “bandwagons”, such as satanic and ritual abuse, multiple personality disorder, and such and wanted to show just how hard it can be from the professional’s standpoint to determine what exactly is happening – and how easy it is to allow personal bias to affect diagnoses. In writing GHOST GIRL the issue Torey wanted to address specifically was the difficulty professionals have in interpreting maladjusted behavior. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Carter must play along with the princess act, or he and his new family may be turned away at the gates. ![]() Its not how much youve got - its how you use it.

The tapestry she wove during her confinement is draped over the boat. ![]() ![]() Waterhouse depicts the Lady of Shalott in her final moments, as she lets go of the boat’s chain: her mouth is parted as she sings ‘her last song’. Punished for breaking the curse, she dies before reaching her destination. Defying her curse, she looks out the window and heads in a small boat to Camelot. In Tennyson’s poem, the Lady of Shalott’s suffers from a curse that forbids her from leaving her tower: she sits in the tower and weaves, only allowed to look upon reality through a mirror. According to the legend, she was cursed in a tower near King Arthur’s Camelot.

If you haven't yet started this series, what are you waiting for? Go for the DL! ![]() Y'all-we get some grovel! It's not as much as I would've liked, but I do love me a good grovel moment. Despite how much of a jerk Jeremy can be, he never allows Cecily to be anything other than her TRUE self. Does that stop me from loving it in my romance reads? Absolutely NOT. I love how NEXT LEVEL stalker Jeremy became. OBVIOUSLY we are in for lots of back and forth between these two (both in and out of the sheets, lol). She is kind and will often put the needs of her friends above her own. Although she is fiercely independent, she is also the mother-hen of her friend group. There is nothing particularly nice about his demeanor. A protective brother, but a ruthless leader. So far, we have seen Jeremy as violent yet cunning. In this particular story from the Legacy of Gods series, we get to learn more about Jeremy and Cecily. There's so much to love: the college setting, the accents (I frigging love listening to books with different accents!), the alphahole males, and SO MUCH STEAM. To say that I'm obsessed with this series would be an understatement. ![]() ![]() This is the story of a young girl caught in the middle of an abusive cult.

Will Hill grew up in the northeast of England and worked as a bartender, bookseller, and in publishing before quitting to write full-time. a traumatic, psychologically captivating and well-written story. ![]() It is a really good read, despite the topic, which is indicative of an author being able to captivate without turning the reader away from disturbing home-truths. Today it is my turn to turn the Spotlight on After the Fire by Will Hill. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When we don’t regulate or manage our emotions and experiences in a way that allows us to move through them productively, our self-awareness is diminished. When we don’t have the language to share our experiences, our ability to make sense of what’s happening and share it with others is limited. Language is our portal to meaning-making, connection, healing, learning, and self-awareness. Brown hopes that Atlas of the Heart can be the map that guides our adventurous hearts back to our truest selves when we have no idea where we are or where we’re going. The natural gift of cultivating meaningful connections with others involves having an equally deep relationship with ourselves and being able to explore without the fear of getting lost. Drawn from extensive research over the past two decades, Atlas of the Heart provides an overview of the necessary skills and actionable framework for building meaningful connections. In Atlas of the Heart, Dr Brene Brown takes us on a journey through the 87 emotions and experiences that define the meaning of being human.

When the FBI took her life savings from a safe-deposit box during a 2021 raid of US Private Vaults in Beverly Hills, Calif., she assumed her money would be returned. Months later, many of those people receive a dense, boilerplate notice stating that the FBI plans to keep their property forever, without any explanation of why-a blatantly unconstitutional practice. The Federal Bureau of Investigation regularly seizes cash, cars and other valuables that belong to people who aren’t accused of any crimes.

Marcella Polini and Victor Hazan in 1952, pictured in her hometown of Cesenatico, Italy, shortly after they met. The American grocery stores, with all their canned goods and prepackaged foods, were a far cry from the markets of her Italian homeland, where fresh produce, meats and fish were easy to find. When Marcella Hazan came to the United States in 1955, one of her first priorities was figuring out how she would feed her husband, Victor. You can also listen to this 2005 story from the NPR archives in which Scott Simon visited Hazan in the kitchen. We reprint the NPR.org story that accompanied that interview in its entirety below. But meeting her future husband changed all that, as Hazan told Wertheimer in 2010. Ironically, Hazan had little interest in food growing up - she was a trained biologist. Marcella Hazan showed us that Italian cooking is simple, healthy and splendid." She was 89.Īs my colleague Linda Wertheimer noted in a 2010 profile of Hazan, "When Marcella Hazan came to America, Parmesan cheese came in cans we'd never met balsamic vinegar.
