Book excerpt: "Oh my God, we found a dead body." The man's voice, calling from a mountain trail in Cleveland National Forest, was frantic. "Please hurry. I'm so scared. It's a little kid." When police arrived, they were met by a horrific sight. The girl was naked and had been positioned in such a way that detectives believed the murderer had seen his kill as some kind of a trophy. As if he were showing off his "work". The little kid was Samantha Runnion, a five-year-old girl who had been abducted while playing in her parents' garden the day before. Samantha is just one of too many American kids who disappear. Almost half a million children are reported missing every year. And all across America parents are searching for their missing children or if the worst case scenario has come to pass the person who killed them. Moms of the Missing investigates ten abduction cases. Through personal and heartbreaking interviews with the victims, it describes how parents maintain their hopes of one day finding their children some of whom were taken by a stranger, a family member, or human traffickers. And two survivors tell what it is like to be held captive. Moms of the Missing explores the principal types of abductions, and not of least importance who's most likely to become a victim of the epidemic of missing children. Finally the book describes how abductions can be prevented.

Download or read book The Missing Handbook to Motherhood written by Ms. Allana Pratt and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-11-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To me, motherhood is one of the most challenging and most rewarding adventures I've ever taken. One thing seems to be at the core of it all... when mama's happy, everybody's happy. Yet that's WAY easier said than done when the to-do list never ends, circumstances keep changing and we tend to put everyone else's needs before ours. When I've been empty inside, I didn't want to even go for a pedicure if it meant dealing with someone rolling their eyes or me feeling guilty for leaving my son. Even though I was exhausted, at least I felt valuable to be wanted. Yet I was crunchy and nagging when I was operating on fumes. So I learned how to navigate Mom Time, dissolve the guilt, fill up in ways that made me more playful, patient and present. My son started to behave better, I was no longer 'crunchy', I found my libido again and now I'm the sexiest I've ever been in my mid 40's. I used to be such a victim to circumstance, jealous of other moms who had help (husbands or hired help) and made excuses why I wasn't creating the life I loved. I share in this book how to clear away everything that's holding you back from having the self-confidence, juiciness, patience and joy that's your birthright as a woman... whether you're single or married. You are the seed and soul of your family. You are so potent and magnificent when you are 'full.' I will show you how to be overflowing with radiance (most of the time!), laugh when things fall apart, feel held when you are uncertain and be gloriously gracious for how well your kids thrive when YOU thrive. The truth is the best thing you could EVER do for your kids is to let them see a thriving woman of self-honor, confidence and courage. This gives them permission to live their best life too! And the worst thing we unconsciously do is give up our Light, then they think it's somehow their fault, and carry that burden into the world. Crème rises to the top, luscious woman!!! Lift you, lift your family, lift the world... with peace, power and pleasure being alive! This is just the beginning... for it does get better and better! If you put your oxygen mask on first. Deliciously, vulnerably and potently, Allana "My sensuality, my 'groove' wasn't really important to me and until now, I didn't give it much credence because I gave outside circumstances more importance than the inside stuff. People say I look softer. My husband who I've known for 16 years said, 'You haven't aged a bit, you're actually prettier. I don't know what you're doing sweetie, but keep doing it.' And my kids are somehow more cuddly. Thank you Allana." -Peggy

Download or read book Missing written by Lindsay Harrison and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully written, intensely poignant memoir that looks at grief, family dynamics, and what happens when your world comes crashing down. A twenty-five-year-old recent graduate of Columbia University’s MFA program, Lindsay Harrison began writing Missing as a way to cope with a terrible loss. During her sophomore year at Brown University, Lindsay received a phone call from her brother that her mother was missing. Forty days later they discover the unthinkable: their mother’s body had been found in the ocean. Missing is at first a page-turning account of those first forty days, as it chronicles dealings with detectives, false sightings, wild hope, and deep despair. The balance of the story is a candid, emotional exploration of a daughter’s search for solace after tragedy as she tries to understand who her mother truly was, makes peace with her grief, and becomes closer to her father and brothers as her mother’s death forces her to learn more about her mother than she ever knew before.

Book excerpt: Set against the backdrop of North Dakota’s oil boom, two very different mothers form an uneasy alliance to find their missing sons in this heartrending and suspenseful novel from the Edgar Award–nominated author of Garden of Stones. The booming North Dakota oil business is spawning “man camps,” shantytowns full of men hired to work on the rigs, in towns without enough housing to accommodate them. In such twilight spaces, it’s easy for a person to vanish. And when two young men in their first year on the job disappear without a trace, only their mothers believe there’s hope of finding them. Despite reassurances that the police are on the case, the two women think the oil company is covering up the disappearances—and maybe something more. Colleen, used to her decorous life in a wealthy Massachusetts suburb, is determined to find her son. And hard-bitten Shay, from the wrong side of the California tracks, is the only person in town even willing to deal with her—because she’s on the same mission. Overtaxed by worry, exhaustion, and fear, these two unlikely partners question each other’s methods and motivations, but must work together against the town of strangers if they want any chance of finding their lost boys. But what they uncover could destroy them both... Sure to please fans of Sandra Brown and Gillian Flynn, The Missing Place is a moving chronicle of survival, determination, and powerful bonds forged in the face of adversity.
