In a Cornish valley steeped in legend lies an abandoned house where
Edens may be lost, found and remade... The house at White Cove
comes with a reputation. Once the venue for glittering parties, it
has lain neglected since the war, which is why Mila and her mother
Magda acquire it so cheaply in the summer of 1954. While Magda
plans to restore the house to its former glory, Mila just wants a
happy home for her little girl, Janey. Locals say this valley is
home to a white hare; to some it’s an ill omen, to others a
blessing. Feeling fragile and broken-hearted, Mila is in need of as
many blessings as she can get. But will this place provide the
fresh start she so desperately needs? ‘This book does not
hesitate to evoke a sense of wonder’ Robin Hobb ‘Mythic,
witchy... sings of an earth alive with power’ Jackie Morris ‘A
brilliant novel of love, loss, forgiveness, and healing’ Liz

One house, two women, a lifetime of secrets...
Following the death of her mother, Becky begins the sad task of sorting
through her empty flat. Starting with the letters piling up on the
doormat, she finds an envelope post-marked from Cornwall. In it is a
letter that will change her life forever. A desperate plea from her
mother's elderly cousin, Olivia, to help save her beloved home.
Becky arrives at Chynalls to find the beautiful old house crumbling
into the ground, and Olivia stuck in hospital with no hope of being
discharged until her home is made habitable.
Though daunted by the enormity of the task, Becky sets to work. But as
she peels back the layers of paint, plaster and grime, she uncovers
secrets buried for more than seventy years. Secrets from a time when
Olivia was young, the Second World War was raging, and danger and
romance lurked round every corner...
The Sea Gate is a sweeping, spellbinding novel about the lives of two
very different women, and the secrets that bind them together.

war. Meanwhile in England, John Savage, a foundling boy, runs away
from his cruel life in a priory with the Moor, a mysterious man
driven by a dream of perfection. They join a band of conmen
travelling through the English countryside faking religious
miracles for cash, until they are recruited in Richard the
Lionheart's army and sent to regain the Latin Kingdom from the
infidel. Akka awaits. It will be the site of the greatest - and
cruellest - siege of its time. But even in the midst of war, lovers
find ways to make transactions of beauty. Praise for Jane Johnson:

Five centuries ago, a message was hidden in the Alhambra's walls. There it has lain, undisturbed by the tides of history – the fall of Granada, the expulsion of its last Sultan – until Kate discovers it.
Born of love in a time of desperation and danger, Kate's discovery will be the catalyst that changes her life.

steeped in legend lies an abandoned house where Edens may be lost,
found and remade... The White Valley in the far west of Cornwall
cuts deeply through bluebell woods down to the sea. The house above
the beach has lain neglected since the war. It comes with a
reputation, which is why Mila and her mother Magda acquire it so
cheaply in the fateful summer of 1954. Magda plans to restore the
house to its former glory: the venue for glittering parties, where
the rich and celebrated gathered for bracing walks by day and
sumptuous cocktails by night. Mila's ambitions, meanwhile, are much
less grand; she dreams of creating a safe haven for herself, and a
happy home for her little girl, Janey. The White Valley comes with
a long, eventful history, laced with tall tales. Locals say that a
white hare may be seen running through the woods there; to some
she's an ill omen, to others a blessing. Feeling fragile and
broken-hearted, Mila is in need of as many blessings as she can
get. But will this place provide the fresh start she so desperately
needs? Praise for Jane Johnson: 'This book does not hesitate to

My dear Isabelle, in the attic you will find a box with your name
on it. Isabelle's archaeologist father dies leaving a puzzle: a
mysterious African amulet. But what is it? And why did he want her
to have it? On impulse she takes a plane to Morocco to find out.
But has Isabelle's curiosity got the better of her? Almost killed
in an accident which damages the amulet (revealing more of its
secrets), she realises she must be careful. But when her rescuer,
Taib, who knows the dunes and their peoples, offers to help uncover
the amulet's history, she cannot resist uncovering the story of Tin
Hanan - She of the Tents - who made a legendary desert crossing
alone, and her descendant Mariata. Across years and over hot,
shifting sands, tracking the Salt Road, the stories of Isabelle and
Taib, Mariata and her lover, become entangled with that of the lost
amulet. It is a tale of souls wounded by history and of love
blossoming on barren ground.
Though postural assessment is a skill required by most
therapists and useful for many health and fitness professionals,
few resources offer a complete discussion of the topic to support
practitioners in the task. Written for students and practitioners
of massage therapy, physical therapy, osteopathy, chiropractic,
sports medicine, athletic training, and fitness instruction,
"Postural Assessment" is a guide to determining muscular or fascial
imbalance and whether that imbalance contributes to a patient's or
client's pain or dysfunction.
Jane Johnson, a practicing physiotherapist and sport massage
therapist and instructor, breaks down the complex and holistic
process of assessing posture into easy-to-assimilate sections.
Johnson begins with a discussion of ideal posture and the factors
affecting posture as well as how to provide the correct environment
for postural assessment, necessary equipment, and the importance of
documenting assessment findings. Then she details procedures for
executing postural assessments from standing posterior, lateral,
and anterior views as well as with the patient or client in a
seated position.
The text features tips for improving assessment technique, and
What Your Findings Mean sections provide readers--students in
particular--with guidance for systematic analysis. Each chapter
ends with five Quick Questions, with answers, to assist in gauging
understanding of the topics covered.
Information in the text is enhanced with detailed illustrations
that offer visual cues to learning postural assessment and
identifying anatomical relationships. Line drawings illustrate bony
landmarks used in the assessments, and numerous photos show both
obvious and subtle postural variations. Reproducible illustrated
postural assessment charts in the appendix provide space for
recording observations during each step of the assessment.
"Postural Assessment" can assist practitioners in learning what
posture reveals about the relationships among various body parts
and in determining whether such relationships cause or contribute
to pain or discomfort. As a resource for novices, "Postural
Assessment" offers guidance in observing and identifying common
postural forms and interpreting those observations.
"Postural Assessment" is part of the Hands-On Guides for
Therapists series, which features specific tools for assessment and
treatment that fall well within the realm of massage therapists but
may be useful for other body workers, such as osteopaths and
fitness instructors. The guides include full-color instructional
photographs, Tips sections that aid in adjusting massage
techniques, Client Talk boxes that present ideas for creatively
applying techniques for various types of clients, and questions for
testing knowledge and skill.
