Their criminal life style may not sit right with Liberty, but blood is thicker than water and surely what they do is their business not hers? But when her youngest brother, Frankie, is seriously injured in a shooting, Liberty is forced to decide which side she is on and how far she will go to protect her own. And if that means torturing the local gangster for information or kidnapping another at gun point, then so be it. Turns out Liberty is a Greenwood after all. Meanwhile, PC Amira Hassani will do whatever it takes to put Liberty and her family away for good, and if that includes blackmailing her colleague Sol Connolly to secure evidence against them, then so be it too. Will Sol betray Liberty to protect his wife and his career? And how far will any of them go to do what they think is right?

Download or read book Educating the Muslims of America written by Yvonne Y Haddad and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the U.S. Muslim population continues to grow, Islamic schools are springing up across the American landscape. Especially since the events of 9/11, many have become concerned about what kind of teaching is going on behind the walls of these schools, and whether it might serve to foster the seditious purposes of Islamist extremism. The essays collected in this volume look behind those walls and discover both efforts to provide excellent instruction following national educational standards and attempts to inculcate Islamic values and protect students from what are seen as the dangers of secularism and the compromising values of American culture. Also considered here are other dimensions of American Islamic education, including: new forms of institutions for youth and college-age Muslims; home-schooling; the impact of educational media on young children; and the kind of training being offered by Muslim chaplains in universities, hospitals, prisons, and other such settings. Finally the authors look at the ways in which Muslims are rising to the task of educating the American public about Islam in the face of increasing hostility and prejudice. This timely volume is the first dedicated entirely to the neglected topic of Islamic education.

Book excerpt: Developmental Couple Therapy for Complex Trauma provides therapists with comprehensive and practical guidance for integrating DCTCT into their work with traumatized couples. The book includes an evidence-based framework which emphasizes the importance of containing conflict and helps clients to build emotional regulation and mentalizing skills. The framework is an invaluable asset to all clinicians working with couples dealing with the ravaging impacts of complex trauma, who may not be able to benefit from traditional forms of couple therapy due to challenges in regulating emotions, mentalizing and other aspects of the complex trauma response that limit capacity to engage in relationships and couple therapy. The chapters guide you through the four key stages of DCTCT: Psychoeducation, Building Capacity, Dyadic Processing, and Consolidation. Each stage has accompanying activities and narratives in which to engage traumatized couples and includes a variety of case transcripts to illustrate the approach. Throughout the manual the author provides the reader with: insights from real-world scenarios based on her extensive clinical experience; worksheets that can be used as part of the therapeutic process; systematic analyses of the therapeutic process from the therapist’s point of view; comprehensive recommendations for further reading so that you can develop your expertise in any area of DCTCT. Never losing sight of the fact that the therapist plays an essential role as a coach and mentor for those undertaking couple therapy, this manual is a valuable tool for any clinician working to engage traumatized couples and equip them with the skills they need to develop and maintain a strong and vibrant couple relationship.

Book excerpt: Hard Hitter By: Kaylee Losey Raelyn DeRose has it all -- almost. She has great friends, a job she loves, and a wonderful family. Her love life, however, is a little lacking. After a failed engagement, she's on a bit of a hiatus from men and definitely feeling the effects of her dry spell. When she catches an article about the booming professional baseball career of her former childhood best friend, she can't help reminiscing and feeling as though she might have lost her shot at real love ages ago. Meet Quinn Casey: Major League All-Star, hard-hitter, and, okay, he's kind of a sex icon. When Quinn finds out he'll be sitting out the season due to an injury, he gets called back home to deal with something he thought he'd left in the past. Not only is he confronted with his beyond-complicated relationship with his heroin-addicted mother, but he's also thrown a curveball when he runs into his childhood best friend at his first physical therapy session. It's obvious there is still a lot of steam between these childhood sweethearts, but will their passion -- and let's not forget, amazing sex -- for each other be enough to hit a home run? Or will this hard-hitter strike out on love?
