Pages : 111
Book Description
Fetch it! Having a dog who will retrieve his ball or frisbee and bring it back to be thrown again, is for many people the essence of a dog walk! But your dog may have other ideas … perhaps he takes the toy and runs off with it, or lies down and chews it, or even shows no interest whatever - leaving you to go and hunt for the toy yourself. This can all be changed! You just need a few key steps to make it all happen. Beverley Courtney has helped many, many dog-owners to turn their frustration with their dog into enjoyment and pure pleasure! Continuing in the same style as the immensely popular Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog series of books, you’ll soon have a dog who not only plays fetch, but also brings you your tv remote, his dog bowl or lead, and your slippers … not to mention searching for your lost car-keys! Through her force-free work with thousands of dogs, Beverley Courtney can show you a new way in these readable, jargon-free books! “My dog is lovely but quite excitable, which made some things really tricky. The advice in Beverley's books is clear and simple to follow, and best of all it teaches your dog to think for itself and make good choices without any commands. Seriously, if you want a nicer, better-behaved and calmer dog, read these books and follow her steps.” 5* review Buy Fetch It! today and transform your reluctant retriever into a fetching fanatic!

This Is My Daughter
Author: Roxana Robinson
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 150402561X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book: A luminous, deeply affecting story of divorce, remarriage, and parenthood. Peter and Emma, two single parents who have found love again after failed first marriages, dream of a peaceful and happy blended family with each of their daughters under one roof. They navigate this treacherous territory with the best of intentions, but face resistance from the girls, who, like many children of divorce, find their relationships tinged by grief, anger, and resentment. Emma’s three-year-old daughter, Tess, takes to the arrangement while Amanda, Peter’s sullen and unhappy seven-year-old, views it as a disaster rather than a fresh start. Over the course of this emotional powerhouse of a novel, Amanda becomes increasingly hostile and alienated—until one night she commits an act that threatens the already fragile bonds of the fledgling family. Set on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, This Is My Daughter is a skillful and sensitive portrayal of the challenges facing modern families from master of the contemporary novel Roxana Robinson, whose acute observations of domestic life invite comparison to John Cheever and Henry James.

Home is where My People are
Author: Sophie Hudson
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1414391730
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
All roads lead to home. It's easy to go through life believing that we can satisfy our longing for home with a three-bedroom, two-bath slice of the American dream that we mortgage at 4 percent and pay for over the course of thirty years. But ultimately, in our deepest places, we're really looking to belong and to be known. And what we sometimes miss in our search for the perfect spot to set up camp is that wherever we are on the long and winding road of life, God is at work in the journey, teaching us, shaping us, and refining us--sometimes through the most unlikely people and circumstances. In Home Is Where My People Are, Sophie Hudson takes readers on a delightfully quirky journey through the South, introducing them to an unforgettable cast of characters, places, and experiences. Along the way, she reflects on how God has used each of the stops along the road to impart timeless spiritual wisdom and truth. Nobody embodies the South like Sophie Hudson, and this nostalgic celebration of home is sure to make even those north of the Mason-Dixon line long to settle in on the front porch with a glass of sweet tea and reflect on all of the people in our lives who--related or not--have come to represent home. Because at the end of the day, it's not the address on the front door or even the name on the mailbox that says home, but the people who live and laugh and love there, wherever theremight happen to be.

A World Of Our Own
Author: Aileen McCallan
Publisher: Poolbeg Press Ltd
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
A World of Our Own is a mother’s account of how autism challenged her family and changed her life. Young mother Aileen McCallan is filled with love and joy at the birth of her second son, Cian. Now she feels she can settle into motherhood and a comfortable life. But it is not to be. From the age of about eighteen months, Cian’s behaviour grows increasingly strange: his language fails to develop; he shows little emotional or social connection; he doesn’t play with his older brother Christopher; and he screams and writhes at night, wearing down his parents. They face an endless series of assessments and tests as the truth gradually dawns: Cian has autism. Shocked to discover the lack of support or treatments available for those suffering from autism, Aileen determines to hold onto Cian, to stop her son from slipping away from her. She spends her waking hours working with him and searching for therapists who can connect with him using Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA). It is an uphill battle that strains Aileen’s sanity, her marriage, her world. She feels caught in a world where there is only Cian and her. A World of Our Own is a heart-breaking, uncompromising glimpse into a family affected by autism. Ultimately, though, it is a story of the triumph of the human spirit, and of the victory of love over despair.
