Download or read book Angel Face written by Barbie Latza Nadeau and published by Beast Books. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite all the airtime devoted to Amanda Knox, it's still hard to reconcile the fresh-faced honor student from Seattle with the sexually rapacious killer convicted of the November 2007 murder of her British roommate. Few Americans have heard all of the powerful evidence that convinced a jury that Knox was one of three people to sexually assault Meredith Kercher, brutalize her body, and cut her throat. In Angel Face, Rome-based Daily Beast senior writer Barbie Latza Nadeau -- who cultivated personal relationships with the key figures in both the prosecution and the defense -- describes how the Knox family's heavy-handed efforts to control media coverage distorted the facts, inflamed an American audience, and painted an offensive, inaccurate picture of Italy's justice system. An eye-opener for any parent considering sending a child away to study, Angel Face reveals what really went on in this incomprehensible crime.

It’s a magical spellbinding place, where all our loved ones have gone before us. In this story/activity book you can also place your loved ones in your chosen garden. I wrote this book as a treasured gift for my granddaughter, Scarlett Rose, after flying from the UK to Australia to help bring her into the world. The heartache I felt on fl ying back home inspired me to put pen to paper and my book began. But it hasn’t been easy. By choice, I had a poor education. At school I was always a huge personality in the playground, but a daydreamer in the classroom. Then it was university – haha! I went to the university of life, where my mother was my number one teacher. Since the beginning, my family has grown and so has my book. It’s been a pleasurable challenge to write. Some days I’ve cried with a great big belly laugh and others I’ve cried with the depth of emotional love I felt deeply from my soul for my family, friends and acquaintances who have inspired the characters in the book. I was soon to hit a huge obstacle with this book: learning to illustrate! But I got there. The most important lesson I have learnt is to believe in yourself, have faith, what’s meant for you in this life doesn’t pass you by. It’s a big world out there, full of wonderful opportunities that are all within reach. So if you’re missing a loved one like myself, don’t let your grievance grow, live your life and be happy with a positive thought: no one is promised a tomorrow, but they say God offers a promises to us all of eternal angelic life in heaven. Read on! Guardian angels In every adult there’s a child, In every child there’s imagination, In imagination there is love, positivity, In mine, I found a magical wonder world — real or nostalgic? For me, I believe it’s true.

Download or read book The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems written by Tracy Hogg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baby Whisperer gives new parents everything they need to tackle the challenges of sleep, eating habits, tantrums, growth issues, and more! The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems is an in-depth look at the most challenging issues faced by parents of babies and young children today. The book goes beyond the basics introduced in her first two books, becoming a compendium of specific and targeted parenting strategies. Each chapter tackles a different topic, from teaching babies to sleep, feeding techniques, potty training, and much more. Hogg will also discuss her two new Baby Whispering concepts, which are being patient and conscious and learning to detect “prime times”—windows of opportunity for sleep training, introducing bottles (in breast-fed babies), sippy cups, toilet training, and much more. Once you learn how to translate banguage, the “baby-language” your infant uses to communicate needs, feelings, and opinions, you can see your child for who he or she really is—an understanding that will serve you well as your child blossoms into the toddler years. By helping you establish a daily routine and tailor your parenting strategies according to your child’s unique personality and stage of development, Tracy will teach you how to: • Employ the Twelve Principles of Problem Solving—simple troubleshooting techniques for everyday situations • Avoid, or remedy, accidental parenting—inadvertent adult behavior that often leads to such common parenting challenges as sleep problems, poor eating habits, separation anxiety, and tantrums • Identify windows of opportunity for teaching babies how to get to sleep on their own, introducing bottles to breast-fed babies, toilet training, and other growth issues For Tracy’s fans, this book will be a welcome addition to the Hogg library; for readers unfamiliar with her philosophy of care, it will open a new world of understanding and insight.
