When Myra Brent's sister Eden visits her at Moorcroft House, instead of welcoming her, she gives Eden a stinging slap. Eden is devastated by her sister's cruel behaviour. Myra had always been devoted to the younger girl; what could have caused this change of heart? Myra is simply trying to prevent her beloved sister from catching the predatory eye of Ava Russell, the cruel mistress of Moorcroft House. But her action will have dire consequences. Believing herself abandoned, Eden sets off, penniless, to make her way in the world alone. Although she will enjoy the kindness of strangers, Eden's path will also cross that of vicious evildoers, bent only on drawing innocents into their web of depravity and corruption. And in the meantime, Myra makes the greatest sacrifice of all - for the love of her sister. ********* Praise for Meg Hutchinson: 'The mistress of simmering sagas' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'Hutchinson knows how to spin a good yarn.

Download or read book Pediatric Neuro Ophthalmology written by Michael C. Brodsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric Neuroophthalmology details the diagnostic criteria, current concepts of pathogenesis, neuroradiological correlates, and clinical management of a large group of neuroophthalmic disorders that present in childhood. Surprisingly distinct from neuroophthalmic disorders afflicting adults, this set of diseases falls between the cracks of most ophthalmology training, and thus, warrants a practical, clinical guide for the practitioner in ophthalmology - the neuroophthalmologist, pediatric ophthalmologist, general ophthalmologist - as well as neurologists and for residents. The authors, leading pediatric ophthalmologists, have taken this difficult subject matter and developed an accessible, user-friendly manual with a detailed approach to the recognition, differential diagnosis, and management of pediatric neuroophthalmologic disorders.
