Paws in Mourning
Paws in Mourning: A Journey Through Grief and Resilience explores the way dogs experience separation and how their grief mirrors our own. Through the story of Jerry, a spirited Samoyed mourning his companion Namkha, Monica Levert explores the nature of loss. "Grief doesn't always speak in words," she writes. "Often, it curls in corners, hides beneath beds, or sits calmly beside us, defying explanation." Weaving personal narrative with science, she draws on grief theory, neuroscience, and animal behaviour to show how dogs experience, process, and adapt to loss. Literary and artistic references offer a gentle bridge between knowledge and emotion, while practical guidance helps readers accompany dogs through bereavement, separation, and change. This is a lyrical meditation on vulnerability, memory, and the power of presence and attunement. It is for anyone who has loved and lost.

Multiple Perspectives on Battered Mothers and Their Children Fleeing to the United States for Safety
In cases in which the left-behind fathers filed Hague Convention petitions to have their children returned, the study found that the mothers and children had often experienced severe violence from these men. The study also found that mothers were unable to access needed resources in their home countries, so their only recourse was to take their children and seek safety and support from family members living in the United States. Further, the study found that U.S. authorities and courts were not receptive to the safety concerns expressed by the mothers. Another key finding was that mothers and children faced great hardship after a Hague Convention decision; legal fees and representation were major barriers for women in responding to Hague Convention petitions. The study found that Hague Convention decisions have not taken into account two decades of research on child exposure to domestic violence when deciding on what constitutes grave risk for a child. The study concludes that safety for battered mothers and their children facing Hague petitions requires training for attorneys and judges on both domestic violence and the law that pertains to Hague Convention cases. For this study, researchers interviewed battered mothers around the world, their attorneys, and their husbands' attorneys. Published judicial decisions were examined in cases involving the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, with attention to those cases that involved allegations of domestic violence by one parent against the other. Twenty-two mothers who responded to Hague petitions in U.S. courts were interviewed.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Effects of Combat Deployments on Children and Spouses
In the past seven years, the United States has deployed a phenomenal number of service members, impacting their children and spouses. Each of these families has available--and tailored to them--a plethora of resources, including mental health programs, formal and informal support groups, practical and logistical support programs, and libraries of materials to help families cope. Yet there is still a perception, within the military spouse community, as well as outside the installation gates, that the Department of Defense (DOD) is not meeting the needs of families. This paper discusses current research related to combat deployments' negative effects on military families, such as increased child abuse, higher divorce rates, and mental health issues. It also gives an overview of some Air Force and DOD programs designed to assist families with deployment issues, notes that families are not fully utilizing existing programs and makes recommendations regarding those programs and directions for future research. As it continues to contend with the effects of deployments on families, the Air Force must focus its efforts on understanding the nature of the disconnect between programs and the people for whom they are intended, to find ways to draw people in to existing programs.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Thinking of You
Mary Beth Runnoe was only eleven when she met Mr. Davis-the charming and worshipful young choir teacher would hold her in thrall for decades.In prose as resolute as it is haunting, Runnoe explores what it felt like to be groomed by an older man as the focus of Davis' inappropriate, yet strongly appealing, attentions and favor. As she was drawn deeper and deeper into his web, her life turned upside down. She became the keeper of his secrets and his closest confidante, carried along amidst the exhilarating expectation that she was somehow more than just a child with a crush on a teacher, and that God himself looked with favor upon their relationship. Today, Runnoe is about the same age as was Mr. Davis when their compelling and inappropriate relationship began. She finds herself looking back on Mr. Davis' influence over the very course of her life-the notes and letters he wrote, the gestures he made, the memories long-buried, the traps she was unable to avoid-to reflect upon the meaning of innocence and faith, and to come to terms with the experience of this older man's attentions and its effect on her development as a woman and an adult.Thinking of You is a story about grooming, the delicacy of power, and the effects of its influence on the powerless. It is a story about reclaiming, repainting, and retelling. And, though it is specifically Runnoe's story, she knows her life experience has not been unique. By sharing her journey, she hopes she might help others find their voices, and their peace, as well.

If Only Love
An astonishing memoir of love's enduring power, resilience and transformation, If Only Love is a celebration of the timeless connection between two souls--a real-life love story for the ages. In 1973, a seventeen-year-old Canadian girl meets an American boy on her first day of school in Japan and falls in love, not realizing that he is also a goner for her. When they finally connect, they only have two months together before school's out and she has to head home. Bad timing and swirling emotion botch their attempt to stay together and they fall out of touch. Long after she loses him, she still thinks of him, and even sets out on a journey to find him, one that fails in the most traumatic of ways. Thirty years later--after her award-winning documentary career has taken her to the most dangerous of places pursuing the toughest of stories--Daniel Peterson's name pops up in an email in Shelley Saywell's inbox, delivering them both a second chance at love. Soon they are edging towards each other in a soul-baring exchange of emails that slowly confirms that their teenage love was real. For fifteen years, they are bonded in life and in love, only to have their marriage cut short when Daniel is diagnosed with terminal cancer. By braiding together the strands of time--threads of first love enhancing threads of grief, a magic reunion undone by final separation--Saywell reveals the power of memory and the healing magic of love. In his last moments, she asks Daniel, "Can we do this again?" and he replies, "We'll do it again, only better." Hard to imagine any two people doing love better, or any writer creating a more touching, revelatory story and testament to the heart.
