the patients and the cases that have characterised a career spent
being a doctor behind bars. Violence. Drugs. Suicide. Welcome to

in the UK's most infamous prisons - first in young offenders'
institutions, then at the notorious Wormwood Scrubs and finally at
Europe's largest women-only prison in Europe, Bronzefield. From
miraculous pregnancies to dirty protests, and from violent attacks
on prisoners to heartbreaking acts of self-harm, she has witnessed
it all. In this eye-opening, inspirational memoir, Amanda reveals
the stories, the patients and the cases that have shaped a career
helping those most of us would rather forget. Despite their crimes,
she is still their doctor.
From the Sunday Times Bestselling author Dr Amanda Brown In The
Prison Doctor: The Final Sentence, Dr Amanda Brown reveals stories
of her time spent with foreign national prisoners. DANGER.

fear of their lives. Others are being sent to a country they left
decades ago. But Dr Amanda Brown is doing all she can for each
patient stuck in no-man's land. They have little or no idea of what
awaits them outside, but she treats them with kindness and respect.
Whatever their crime, and whatever their future holds, she is still
their doctor.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author Dr Amanda Brown. Insights
into the world of a Prison Doctor, this time taking us deeper into
the walls of Bronzefield, the UK's biggest women's prison. From the
drug addicts who call Amanda 'the mother I never had' to the women
who've pushed back at domestic abuse, to women close to release in
their 70s, who just want to stay in the place that they've always
known, these are stories that are heartbreaking, harrowing and
heart-warming. Amanda listens, prescribes, and does what she can.
After all, she's their doctor.
A tome of design, inspiration, and how-to, this substantial book is
the one-stop resource for anyone looking to learn the fine art of
furniture upholstery. With all of the techniques taught through

and an ottoman, students will acquire all the skills they need to
go out and create one-of-a-kind pieces designed to suit their
taste. There are also chapters on interior design principles and

Elle Wood, University of Southern California sorority president and sociopolitical jewelry design major, is blonde, spoiled, creative and desperately in love with her college sweetheart, Warner Huntingdon III. But when Warner announces he's off to Stanford Law School, and that while there he aims to find a girl 'more serious' than Elle to be his wife, Elle and Underdog, her pet Bichon Frise, hatch a plan to follow him so that he will marry her like he's supposed to do. Elle's Stanford misadventures are distinctly unpromising from the outset, and it seems that the one place where blondes definitely don't have more fun is law school. But then she's made an intern on the Murder of Malibu case, defending one-time fitness queen and apricot blonde Brooke Vandermark from the charge of murdering her billionaire husband. In a courtroom triumph, Elle vindicates Brooke and all who are blonde at heart with a tip any Cosmo girl should know.

must struggle and face overwhelming odds to find each other again.
A fun, fresh frolic of a novel starring a spoiled but lovable Texas
heiress out to reclaim her fortune
Pippa Walker's wedding was to be huge--"Texas" huge--complete with
twelve bridesmaids under contract from Pippa's mother to stay lean
and long-haired, gondolas flown in from Venice, A- and B- guest
lists. But when Pippa finds out her handsome husband-to-be isn't
what she thought, she bolts from her own wedding, shocking society
and getting herself disinherited. The only way she can get a piece
of the family fortune back is to earn a degree from a school. "Any"
school. It's a tough assignment for a girl who dropped out of SMU
after pledging Kappa Kappa Gamma and shopping at Neiman's for a
year.
But Pippa is nothing if not up for a challenge. Attracting one
hilarious misadventure after another, she tries to earn her
sheepskin at: driving school, matchmaking school, even a circus
academy. It's only when she hits rock-bottom--The Mountbatten Savoy
School of Household Management--that things begin to look up. But
can she really be falling in love with a...valet?
