Book Description
As the holidays approach, Tessa -- a warm, ugly-sweater loving personal assistant -- finds herself spending yet another holiday away from her family. Unable to fly home, she must find something else to do with her time. Little does she know, she's in for the holiday of a lifetime when she gets called into her boss's office three days before Christmas. Colette Sylvestre is not someone you could call warm -- collected, intelligent, charismatic, maybe, but not warm. She is, however, in the running to take over her family business, a prestigious publishing house; all she has to do is convince her grandfather she has settled down enough. Her cousin Bernard, however, is determined to undermine her and take the position for himself. To convince her grandfather, Colette must bring a date back home to celebrate Christmas with her family. The only catch? Colette is currently single. n a spur of the moment decision, she asks her personal assistant Tess to be her date for the holidays. What follows is a series of holiday related hijinks, from a fancy gala ball to awkward conversations with Colette's family as Tess tries to convince them she really is Colette’s girlfriend. When Tess realizes her little crush on Colette might not be so little, things are complicated even more and she has to decide whether or not to tell Colette. Will Colette return her feelings? Will they be able to convince her family their relationship is real? And, most importantly, will Colette ever forgive Tess for her frankly awful sweater choice?

Justice for Colette: My daughter was murdered - I never gave up hope of her killer being found. He was finally caught after 26 years
Author: Jacqui Kirby

Pages : 204
Book Description
In this heart-rending book, Jacqui Kirby tells of the devastating impact Colette's murder had on her life. It robbed her not only of her beautiful daughter but also of her marriage and, at times, her own sanity. This is the remarkable story of a mother's loss, but also of her hope - hope that she would one day get justice for Colette.On 30th October 1983, 16-year-old Colette Aram left the family home to walk to her boyfriend's house. She never arrived. Her mother, Jacqui Kirby, knew instinctively that something was very wrong and , the following morning, Colette's lifeless body was found dumped by a hedgerow, Jacqui's life would never be the same again. The investigation into the murder of Colette was to be one of the biggest manhunts ever launched by the police and, agonisingly for her loved ones, one which was to last more than a quarter of a century. The murder of Colette was even the first case ever to appear on the BBC's Crimewatch show - it generated many leads but no conviction was forthcoming. Having evaded capture for so many years, Colette's killer was everntually caught thanks to a relatively new technique of DNA profiling - the chance arrest of his son for a minor motoring offence led cold-case detectives directly to Paul Hutchinson's door. Finally, the killer was cornered.

Life After Diapers
Author: Suzanne Fournier
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 164079283X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This is Suzanne Fournier's journey from a stay-at-home mom of seven to a senior government leader and of how she did it. At age forty, she went back to work as a clerk for the Army. She had seven children at home, aged from kindergarten through high school, no degree and no job for fifteen years-not exactly a ticket to a successful career. Fast forward twenty-five years, she retired as the highest communication director for a Washington, D.C. government agency. She represented highly controversial topics such as the aftermath of Katrina, destruction of World War II chemical weapons, and educating Americans about the threat of chemical, biological, and nuclear terrorism. She met members of Congress and White House staffers and served as an expert speaker and media spokesperson. She volunteered to serve in Iraq as an Army civilian traveling Southern Iraq during the most dangerous months of Operation Iraqi Freedom. She flew on helicopters over the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan and traveled to every state representing military missions. The backdrop for her book is her eight-month deployment to Iraq where she faced unfamiliar terrain, trepidation, and insecurity battles, along with real physical dangers of traveling in a war zone. "Grandma in Iraq," is the name the Cincinnati Enquirer gave her blog, the first and only blog Department of the Army approved to publish with a major newspaper. She learned to seek opportunities, adapt, take risks, and venture into uncharted waters. She dealt with the mommy guilt of balancing family and career, a hearing impairment, and gender bias. She sought a successful family and a successful career. "If I can do it, you can do it. Just pray, trust in God, and believe in yourself!"
