Finding Runaways and Missing Adults
Author: Robert L. Snow
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 1442210648
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Every year in the US, almost two million children run away from home. In addition, on the average, the police in our country have at any one time over 100,000 active missing-adult cases. This book will show readers how, with just a little advance preparation and insight, they can greatly increase their chances of finding a missing loved one, even after police have stopped actively looking. With sensationalized child disappearances, teenagers vanishing, and adults faking their own deaths, the challenge of finding missing persons often falls most directly on those who love them. And though in past years this involved a considerable amount of footwork, that is no longer the case. With the advent of the Internet and the many new search engines available, much of the searching and canvassing can now be done from computers. Family members and friends looking for missing loved ones need to know what programs and databases to access, though, to get the search under way. Snow, reveals to readers the process the police use when trying to locate missing people of interest, information that readers can then use to locate their own missing loved ones. Using real stories and first hand accounts, the author offers hope and guidance to those who may have given up the search for a child, a spouse, a parent, or a friend.

Cassandra Adams was 35 years old when she ran away from home. She hadn't planned to run away. It was a spur of the moment thing, totally out of character. But it had been building up in her for months. The dull ache of unfulfillment. The residue of emptiness that settled on her heart after the daily grind. Pouring out all of herself just to please a company that did not appreciate her, which was run by a father who could not see her. Yet this was the life she had chosen. After a devastating break up, Cassie found comfort in the shelter of her 90-hour work week. Somewhere along the way she had lost herself in that world. Her heart was safe but it was also starving to death. Then it happened: A visitor from her past. An invitation to "come with me." That was all it took-and she was gone. But now that she's gone, could she ever really come back? With each day that she spends away from her old life, Cassie finds herself wondering: Does she even want to go back? A new world has been opened up to her. Freedom. Beauty. Love. The price of all this goodness, her heart. Would this man she barely knew runaway with her heart like the last one? Or could it be that taking a chance will pay off for her in ways she could never have imagined? Runaway Love is the first of the Not-so Virtuous Women in Love series.

Book Description
"Say anything at all. Tell me that what we have is real and that they are lies. Liam, tell me you love me." I cried. I waited for him to speak, but he just looked into my eyes without showing any emotion. Minutes went by. They lacked the same warmth that I always perceived. All I see now is a stranger staring down at me, taking advantage of my ignorance. His icy demeanor struck me repeatedly, piercing my heart like knives. I knew the answer. "Liam? S-please say something. Tell me a lie, and I'll believe it. Liam, you have my undying affection. I genuinely do."

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
In Arrivals, Greer, is a woman with THE master plan. After the painful death of her husband and one true love, this successful graphic artist has decided to take a walk on the wild side and date whoever she wants, whenever she wants and will not allow a small thing such as marital status to deter her. Her rules are strict, organized, definitely self-serving and well worth the trouble. Greer has all her bases covered until she meets a man who challenges her game plan. Reba and Doug are happily married but their joyful and peaceful life is interrupted by a mischievous teenager and an ex-husband who won't stay gone. When Reba's ex-husband Johnny threatens to disrupt their happy home, one of Reba's sister friends comes to the rescue with a plan of her own. Her exposure enables Reba and Doug to maintain their blissful existence and ultimately survive the challenges of blending two families. Terri has hired a new housekeeper, Harvey. When she signed on to hire Harvey she had no idea she was also inheriting his drinking problem, his landlord and his incessant phobias. Harvey thinks he's a hot gay blade who has a fantasy that includes exterminating Terri's home of imaginary creatures. Harvey's landlord is clearly taking advantage of him—that is until Terri decides to teach her who the master manipulator really is. Lenora, whom you adored in Bellamy’s novel, Departures has a new occupation. She has founded the Life After Death program for death row inmates who wish to donate their organs. The convicts are all interesting characters in and of themselves—however, their stories are both surprising and shocking. Alas dear Amber has become a typical teenager. When Amber finds out she is in line to inherit a sizeable amount of money, she becomes hell-bent on circumventing her adopted father Horace's involvement and obtaining the money directly. Her plan is to live large and flex a little "bling-bling,” regardless of Horace's objections. Amber misjudges the consequences of going it alone and of course, pays a price she never would have expected. The folks of Departures and Connecting are at it again, but this time with added characters who are just as funny, realistic and down to earth as the originals.
