The poems are entered in chronological order of a tragic rape of a college girl and two males who she thought she could trust. It reveals the dark shadows of the event, the aftermath of her struggle, and the peace she has now found. She is going from dark to light, sad to happy, unhealthy to healthy. The thoughts of those nights haunt her for months and make her wonder what her future will consist of, if she can overcome this hurt and betrayal, and even when she wanted to give up she gave herself a little hope. The unfortunate situations appear in her thoughts and sometimes haunt her dreams. From the Dark shadows also includes a poem the girl wrote for a person near and dear to her heart. The two individuals can help one another with their healing process. That girl is me. Through creative writing (poetry), I have helped heal myself.

I hope my collection of short poems encourage others who struggle with the aftermath most sexual assault victims go through.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. If all the women and girls who have been murdered, tortured, abused and disappeared were to raise their voices, they would create a song that would drown the world. In Gayle Brandeis' haunting and haunted novel-in-poems, Many Restless Concerns, she invokes such a chorus, the true story of hundreds of young women tortured to death by the Countess Bathory. Brandeis presents their gifts, their dreams, as well as the ways they died, and demonstrates that it is through collective action that they ultimately find justice. You will never un-hear their mournful, defiant and triumphal song. -- Terry Wolverton. …

The Definitive Guide for Injured Victims & Their Lawyers in Car Accident Cases: IF YOU'VE BEEN HURT IN A CAR WRECK, WILL YOU KNOW HOW TO TAKE ON THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEIR LAWYERS BY YOURSELF? Think about that for a moment . . . You've been hurt in a car wreck and it was not your fault. And now you have a lot of questions, but not a lot of answers: * who will pay for all of your medical bills? * you don't have health insurance, so how do you get the medical treatment you need for your injuries? * how can you recover your lost wages? * who will pay for your car to be repaired? * what if your car can't be repaired and is declared a total loss? * what if you owe more than the car is worth? * what about your future medical needs or lost wages? * what are the 3 things you must prove to be able to recover in your personal injury claim? This is a lot for anyone to handle - all of the phone calls back and forth, the emails, the paperwork, the releases. Will you have the time or the knowledge to handle this by yourself? Do you need a guide for consumers to help explain the process to you? And ask yourself - do you really want to take on the insurance company and their lawyers - especially without educating yourself on the claims process here in Georgia? Are you an attorney who is looking to expand your practice to help injured victims and their families injured in car wreck cases? Do you know enough about the personal injury claim process to zealously and ethically represent them?

Hardback. Zustand: Good. ChickenfeedAs part of World Book Day 2006, Minette Walters took part in the Quick Reads initiative, designed to encourage developing readers and adult learners as they explore the exciting world of books. Chickenfeed, Walter's contribution, is a crackling tale based on the true story of the 'chicken farm murder' that took place in Blackness Road, Crowborough, East Sussex in December, 1924. Although Norman Thorne never confessed to killing his girlfriend Elsie, he was tried and hanged for the crime. Minette's fictionalised account of their relationship is told from the points of view of both Elsie and Norman, from the time of their first meeting at chapel when Norman is 18 and Elsie is 22, until the eve of Norman's trial for her murder just over four years later. In the real-life case, an exchange of letters between the lovers, in which Elsie told Norman that she was pregnant, formed part of the evidence that suggested Norman's motive for murder. When the lovers grow apart, Elsie creates a fantasy to replace the reality of their fractured relationship. Meanwhile Norman has fallen for another woman yet cannot bring himself to tell Elsie that he no longer wants to marry her. Burrowing deep into an English legend, Walters creates a suspenseful tale of fiction based in fact, leaving it to the reader decide whether Norman was guilty of the heinous crime. The Tinder BoxIn the small village of Sowerbridge, Patrick O'Riordan has been arrested for the brutal murder of elderly Lavinia Fanshaw and her live-in nurse, Dorothy Jenkins. As shock turns to fury, the village residents form a united front against the O'Riordan family, while friend and neighbour Siobhan Lavenham remains convinced that Patrick has fallen victim to a prejudiced investigation. Jeopardizing her own position within the bigoted community, Siobhan stands firmly by his family in defense of the O'Riordan name. Yet when terrible secrets about the O'Riordans' past are revealed, Siobhan is forced to question her loyalties. Could Patrick be capable of murder after all? Could his family's tales of attacks be devious fabrications? And if so, what other lies lurk beneath the surface of their world? As the truth unravels, it becomes clear that beneath a cunning facade, someone's chilling ambition is about to ignite. Praise for Innocent Victims Fans of Edgar-winner Walter will welcome this collection. the poignant Chickenfeed, based on an infamous 1924 murder case in East Sussex.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The impetus of this book began with a personal search of mine for support groups for families of those with mental illness. I had a brother with Schizophrenia. I was also finishing up my graduate degree in Social Work (back in 1982). What these groups for families of the mentally ill supported concerned me. What I typically found were dysfunctional groups supporting negative and even hostile mindsets. Most of them encouraged a victim mentality to the surrounding culture and to the mental illness. When I considered using other group processes such as the 12 Steps, it didn't convert well enough to help family members struggling with a loved one's persistent and chronic mental illness. I also recognized that mental illness happens within the context of a family - not just the individual. Too often these groups focused on the mentally ill person at the expense of the family's over-all own mental health and the health of other family members. I discovered in my research that how the family responds to the mental illness will either be part of the antidote or continued problem. In any give difficulty we are either part of the problem or part of the solution. I intended to offer a means for family members and friends to be part of a solution. Furthermore, families and their individual members are all personally affected by the disruption and difficulties brought on through living with mental illness. Those living with mental illness secondarily through a loved one also needed an aggressive healing path to help them live with (and sometimes beyond) the mental illness. So, I developed the Eight Stage Healing Process. My combined personal and professional experiences contributed to the chosen Stages. Furthermore, I researched what works and what doesn't work in such support groups. When securing a publisher for the book I insisted that coping be left out of the title. Everyone is coping - the Eight Stages takes one beyond just coping with mental illness and the surrounding family dynamics and helps individuals and families heal. Twenty years later I still find, along with thousands of other family members that the Eight Stages is an authentic healing process that benefits all family members. The Eight Stages are; Stage One: Stage Two: Stage Three: Stage Four: Stage Five: Stage Six: Stage Seven: Stage Eight: The Eight Stages can be used individually or within a group context. If in a group, I have available the Facilitator's Manual to use as a guide: Title here. Now the Eight Stages is the most used program for families in Australia and used throughout Canada and the United States.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Many of us, if not all, have experienced some tragedy in our lives, and secondary victims of tragedy most often do not even see themselves as victims. They may not even realize how deeply and completely they have been impacted, but when they do, it can be overwhelming. On December 3, 1957, my life was changed forever. The night my sister Maria was kidnapped is forever etched in my mind. The reliving of this terrible time in my life has taken many forms throughout the years, and I am sure there will be more to come. The questions now for you and for me are these: --Will we be swept up by the evil that is swirling around us? --Is it this evil act that will define us, or will we prevail in spite of it? --Or will we continue walking in the shadow of darkness? I want you to know that you do not and should not have to believe the devil's lies when he says to you, You will never overcome this. You will always be under these feelings, and this is the way you are. I want you to know that God will give you the power to overcome it, just as Jesus said, I have given you authority to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you (Luke 10:19). …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In her pioneer book, The Politics of Rape (1975, 1984), Diana E. H. Russell was among the first feminist writers to offer a revolutionary new understanding of rape as a manifestation of sexism. In a series of beautifully executed but wrenching interviews with 22 eloquent rape survivors, we learn about the heart wrenching pain, trauma, and long-term consequences caused by mens' misogynist attitudes and behavior toward women. Thankfully, Russell also provides a much-needed final chapter on solutions. According to Rolling Stones Magazine, The Politics of Rape is probably the best introduction to rape now in print. The Women's Press called Russell's book, truly exceptional. This is the best book I know of on the subject of the all-American crime of rape. Another reviewer described it as one hell of a courageous book, noting that it was intended as a tool for political change. Although The Politics of Rape was published a long time ago, the stories of rape survivors are never out of date.…

To hear liberals tell it, you'd think they do nothing but suffer at the hands of ruthless entities like the Republican Attack Machine and Fox News. Really? It's just another instance of the Big Lie, of course. In Guilty, Ann Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. For instance: - The myth of the Republican Attack Machine: The most amazing thing liberals have done is create the myth of a compliant right-wing media with Republicans badgering baffled reporters into attacking Democrats. It's so mad, it's brilliant. - Brave liberals: In addition to being beautiful, compassionate tribunes of the downtrodden, liberals are brave. I know that because they're always telling me how brave they are. - Obambi's luck: While B. Hussein Obama piously condemned attacks on candidates' families, his media and campaign surrogates ripped open the court-sealed divorce records of his two principal opponents in his Senate race in Illinois. One recurring truth about liberals, says Coulter, is that they viciously attack all while wailing that they are the true victims.
