Book excerpt: I am Teryn, Daughter of Death... ...And honestly, it's very inconvenient. Am I immortal? Yes. Do I have a carrion form that is both awesome and terrifying? Also yes. But I'm also dead and alive AT THE SAME TIME. It's exhausting. Also my brother, Grim, is king of the Underworld and thinks that makes him so much better than me (yes, it's short for Grim Reaper, don't even get me started on wraith coronation practices). Anyway, there are not a lot of opportunities for advancement for a half-human-half-wraith in Underworld society so I've dedicated my life to being a giant pain to everyone around me (except Reyn, I'm only ever accidentally a pain to him). It was going absolutely swimmingly until I made a bet with Grim and now my only secret is about to be discovered. As it turns out, there are some things worse than death.

Practical Patricia Anne has put away her aunt-of-the-bride blue chiffon and settled back into domesticity when fun-loving Mary Alice calls to say they have a post-wedding date with a genealogist from the groom's side of the family.

Their mysterious guest has taken a plunge from the ninth floor of the courthouse building -- an apparent suicide. But given the scandals a nosy genealogist might have uncovered, the sisters are betting that some proud Southern family is making sure their shameful secrets stay buried. . .along with anyone who tries to dig them up.

Download or read book Death in the Family written by John Chipman and published by Doubleday Canada. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this national bestseller, a work of vigorous reporting, deep compassion and unerring integrity, award-winning journalist and documentarian John Chipman investigates the lives left ruined in the wake of Dr. Charles Smith's ignominious career. In the mid-'90s, the Ontario Coroner's office decided that death investigation teams needed to "think dirty." They wanted coroners, pathologists and police to be more suspicious--to "assume that all deaths are homicides until satisfied that they are not." They were particularly concerned about pediatric deaths, which historically had been exceedingly difficult to investigate. There were usually no witnesses; no evidence to gather at the scene; no outward signs of trauma on the body. If the pathologist did not discover the truth of what had happened, child abuse could go uncovered. Among those charged to "think dirty" was Dr. Charles Smith, Ontario's top pediatric forensic pathologist at the time. But with virtually no training in forensics, Dr. Smith was ill prepared for his work. Instead of basing his judgments on forensic evidence found during autopsies, he allowed himself to be swayed by circumstantial evidence. The defendants were often single mothers--some on welfare, some struggling with substance abuse. And they made for easy targets. Dr. Smith made dangerous assumptions, and the results were catastrophic. Numerous individuals were pronounced guilty, and incarcerated, on his shaky evidence. This penetrating investigative work explores the wide ripples of destruction caused when the justice system fails, the burden felt by ethical individuals working within that system and the importance of its victims finally being heard.

Download or read book It Runs in the Family written by Ruth A Symes and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the quest to uncover our family history, we turn to written records, the family album and even heirlooms. However, they can often be difficult to interpret and sometimes pose more questions than they answer: Why didn't my ancestors smile for the camera? Why did great-grandfather wear a beard while his sons were clean-shaven? Why is my great-grandmother holding flowers in this photograph? Drawing on evidence from social history, women's history, and the histories of photography, art and fashion, and using examples from the lowly as well as the famous, Ruth Symes explores many aspects of ordinary life in the past – from the state of the nation's teeth, to the legal and economic connotations of wearing a wedding ring and even the business of keeping a dog. This fascinating volume aims to help family historians get to know their elusive ancestors by deciphering the wealth of personal and historical clues contained in photographs, documents and artefacts.
