Book Description
In this riveting domestic suspense debut, a woman's life shatters when she meets a girl she believes is the daughter she lost years ago--and she finds that reclaiming the life she lost might cost her the life she has. Tell Me You're Mine is a story of guilt, grief, and the delicate balance between love and obsession. Where is the line between hope and madness? Three women: one who believes she has found her long lost daughter, one terrified she's about to lose her child, and one determined to understand who she truly is. Stella Widstrand is a psychotherapist, a happily married mother to a thirteen-year-old son. But when a young woman named Isabelle steps into her clinic to begin therapy, Stella's placid life begins to crumble. She is convinced that Isabelle is her daughter, Alice. The baby that tragically disappeared more than twenty years ago on a beach during a family vacation. Alice is believed to have drowned, but her body was never found. Stella has always believed that Alice is alive, somewhere--but everyone around her worries she's delusional. Could this be Alice? Stella will risk everything to answer that question, but in doing so she will set in motion a sequence of events beyond her control, endangering herself and everyone she loves.

Book Description
A collection of 13 short stories spanning two decades in the lives of van de Wetering's Amsterdam Cops Amsterdam isn’t exactly a hotbed of violent crime, but wrongdoing does occur, and the most bizarre cases tend to be passed to Grijpstra and de Gier. In one they investigate the death of a handsome oceanographer whose corpse is found amidst his tanks of shiny living mussels. In another they strong-arm a brutal crime lord whose henchman threatens the sergeant’s cat. Yet another leads them to uncover a most unusual murder weapon: a chocolate Easter bunny. With the curious blend of wit and the macabre readers have come to expect from the pen of Janwillem van de Wetering, the Amsterdam Cops have a way of seeing to it that justice, ultimately, is done.

Book Description
After growing up a happy and carefree child, Paul Mumford found himself totally unprepared for what began happening to him at age twenty-three. This is the compelling, true story of his unpredictable downward spiral into bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Presented through the eyes of his mother, this work explores with extraordinary honesty and care the harrowing journey her son faced as he struggled with progressing symptoms ranging from manic rage to full-blown psychosis. It brings into the light the often-untold truth about what mental illness really looks like for the afflicted person and his family. Despite the eventual loss of her son to schizophrenia, the author offers the reader hope as she navigates her way through her first five years of grief with resolve, relying on practical self-help tools and her steadfast faith. "Mindful of You" is a must read for anyone whose life has been touched by mental illness, suicide, loss, grief, or hopelessness.

•Do you refuse to take the top newspaper on a stack (even if perfect)? •Insist that the toilet paper hang "over"? •Wait for the phone to ring at least twice before answering? •Keep returning to the refrigerator hoping that something new to eat has materialized? Everyone has at least one oddity in his or her daily way of life. In this follow-up to her successful And I Thought I Was Crazy!, Judy Reiser offers up more outrageous, outlandish and downright ridiculous eccentricities exhibited (and confessed to) by otherwise normal people. From hilarious bathroom behavior, funny money routines, and unconventional clothing habits to eating and sleeping peculiarities, germ-a-phobia, and more. Reiser documents the zany traits that make us who we are. Just what extremes do people go to in their everyday activities? •Flipping through a magazine at a newsstand then reaching for a fresh copy to buy because the one they were flipping through is no longer new. •Enumerating (1, 2, 3...) while urinating and trying to end their peeing on an even number. •Eating the most expensive part of a meal first, just in case they can’t finish everything. •Ironing the newspaper before reading it to protect themselves against germs. •Wearing T-shirts an equal number of times so none of them will get offended. You will laugh while gaining insight into yourself and others! People do the darndest things! http://www.judyreiser.com
