A tragic accident, an unbearable loss and a marriage in crisis -
but who can she trust or is she all alone? A gripping, debut
psychological thriller that will keep you hooked. Perfect for the
fans of Paula Hawkins and S.J. Watson. Veronica Pullman's
comfortable suburban life comes to a shuddering halt when her young
daughter, Grace, tragically dies in a car accident. Months later,
unable to come to terms with her daughter's death, detached from
her husband and alienated from her friends and family, a chance
encounter on a rainy street pushes her into an unlikely new
friendship. Scarlet is everything Veronica could've been: feisty,
adventurous, unpredictable. But as she approaches what would have
been Grace's 10th birthday, it becomes clear to Veronica that the
friendship she thought was saving her life could be costing her
everything. Consumed by grief and left questioning her own sanity,
is there anyone she can really trust or is someone out to torment
her as part of their twisted game? 'This novel is a beautifully
written, if disturbing, exploration of how grief affects
friendships, marriage and the main character's sense of self' Anita
Davison.

A hilarious, irreverent, and touching account of one seriously
Christian girl's struggle to please any available savior. . . .
K. Dawn Goodwin's holy crusade to be the Lord's sexiest
spokesperson began at the tender--but far from innocent--age of
seven. And while she always thought Jesus was kinda hot, even He
could not quiet the avalanche of prepubescent lust and the burning
wish for a man to find her, like Bathsheba, comely enough to spy
on.
Crucified by soulless pretty girls and cruel jocks whose mission it
was to make her life hell on earth, adolescent Dawn, painfully
obsessed with her own ugliness, found slivers of sweet relief in
dry-humping the scrawniest guy on the wrestling team and scribbling
bodice rippers starring her favorite teacher. But, Praise Jesus, at
least her virginity was intact.
Until college, where, thanks to a seriously sculpted Jew, Dawn's
chastity crumbled like the Tower of Babylon. Her sex marathons kept
her shouting, "Hallelujah " but with her body image in apocalyptic
disarray, her future husband unable to faith-heal her as promised,
and the Bible threatening an extra-crispy afterlife, Dawn would
have to face down her demons. Which was okay, because they were
kinda hot too. . . .
In recent years, evidence-based medicine (EBM), clinical governance
and professional accountability have become increasingly
significant in shaping the organisation and delivery of healthcare.
However, these notions all build upon and exemplify the idea of
human-centred, individual action. In this book, Dawn Goodwin
suggests that such models of practice exaggerate the extent to
which practitioners are able to predict and control the
circumstances and contingencies of healthcare. Drawing on
ethnographic material, Goodwin explores the way that 'action'
unfolds in a series of empirical cases of anaesthetic and intensive
care practice. Anaesthesia configures a relationship between
humans, machines and devices that transforms and redistributes
capacities for action and thereby challenges the figure of a
rational, intentional, acting individual. This book elucidates the
ways in which various entities (machines, tools, devices and
unconscious patients as well as healthcare practitioners)
participate, and how actions become legitimate and accountable.
