The true story of the Scottish venture in colonizing on the Isthmus of Darien (also known as the Isthmus of Panama) at the close of the seventeenth century. The
Little Jamey, 2½ years old, is placed with experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, as an emergency. The police and social services have no choice but to remove two-year-old Jamey from home after his mother leaves him alone all night to go out partying. When he first arrives with foster carer Cathy Glass, he is scared, hungry and withdrawn, craving the affection he has been denied for so long. He is small for his age and unsteady on his feet – a result of being left for long periods in his cot. Cathy and her family find Jamey very easy to love, but as he settles in and makes progress, a new threat emerges. Coronavirus and lockdown change everything. In her latest bestseller, Neglected, Cathy Glass, the Sunday Times bestselling author, explores the world of fostering. The book, a personal biography, delves into the challenges of adoption, the impact of abuse on a child, and the additional trials brought on by the Coronavirus pandemic. For fans of Ann Cusack (The Convent), Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me), Linda Watson-Brown (Please Save Me), Maggie Hartley (Please Help My Mummy), and Kat Ward (KERI 4).

With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.Ver libro

A stone altar awaits a sacrifice. A dark force calls this place home. The time has come to receive its blessing. But a price must be paid. Absolute devotion. Absolute subjugation. Finn strips nude and falls to his knees. The ritual begins. --- CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY SEXUAL CONTENT. For more stories, visit www.KaiAubrey.com.Ver libro
