Book Description
The perfect vacation fling just got complicated. I had one job: give the romance author a tour of The Wilde Ranch. Not bang her in the ranch’s secret library. And I certainly shouldn’t have extended the tour to a week. I’m a single dad raising a six-year-old daughter who’s away at horse riding camp. This is my free time to screw em’ and leave em’. Not wake up next to her and invite her for a shower. I’m broken. She doesn’t trust me. Heck, I don’t trust myself … especially not around her. She’s lost her faith in romance. And now we’re living every single one of the rom-com books she’s written.

Book Description
Mason Clayborne has made mistakes, and now he’s paying the price. After conspiring with his father to force his cousins into selling the family ranch—an act that left one cousin shot—he is determined to earn his forgiveness. Clara Foster is no stranger to feeling like an outsider. Her mother died from an overdose, and when she thought she’d finally found a home, the father of her baby chose another woman. Her heart breaks, not from the rejection but because she sacrifices her desire to be a mother to give her daughter a chance she never had with a real family. Mason risks the progress with his family when Clara returns to the ranch to donate bone marrow to her daughter to prevent her leukemia from returning. But when complications arise because Clara doesn’t reveal to the doctors about her postpartum myocarditis, a reaction to anesthesia causes her heart to stop several times, leaving her in a weakened state. The Claybornes insists she move back to the ranch to recover since she has no money, no place to live, and no family. As Clara struggles with the heartbreak of being close to the daughter she loves but believes she can never be a mother to, Mason stands by her, determined to show his family how much Clara has changed—and how much they’ve contributed to the family’s deep divide. But will Mason’s loyalty be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or will the fractured Clayborne family crumble under the weight of their mistakes? In Saving the Broken Cowboy, love, faith, and forgiveness are tested as two hearts learn to heal, not just each other, but a family on the brink of collapse.

Helping Grieving People – When Tears Are Not Enough
Author: J. Shep Jeffreys
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135148171
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
Helping Grieving People – When Tears Are Not Enough is a handbook for care providers who provide service, support and counseling to those grieving death, illness, and other losses. This book is also an excellent text for academic courses as well as for staff development training. The author addresses grief as it affects a variety of relationships and discusses different intervention and support strategies, always cognizant of individual and cultural differences in the expression and treatment of grief. Jeffreys has established a practical approach to preparing grief care providers through three basic tracks. The first track: Heart – calls for self-discovery, freeing oneself of accumulated loss in order to focus all attention on the griever. Second track: Head – emphasizes understanding the complex and dynamic phenomena of human grief. Third track: Hands – stresses the caregiver's actual intervention, and speaks to lay and professional levels of skill, as well as the various approaches for healing available. Accompanying these three motifs, the Handbook discusses the social and cultural contexts of grief as applied to various populations of grievers as well as the underlying psychological basis of human grief. Throughout the book, Jeffreys presents the role of the caregiver as an Exquisite Witness to the journey of grief and pain of bereaved family and friends, and also to the path taken by dying persons and their families. The second edition of Helping Grieving People remains true to the approach that has been so well received in the original volume. It includes updated research findings and addresses new information and developments in the field of loss, grief and bereavement.
