Daughters
This is a self-coaching book for women in difficult relationships with their mothers, who want to understand how these patterns of relating came into being and how to change them. The book explores the factors that influence such relationships from conception onwards, and what holds them in place now we are adults. It includes the challenges of being raised by negative, narcissistic, distant, smothering and dependent mothers, and looks at how they may have become like this. Mothers are daughters too. The book doesn't blame mothers or daughters, but takes a compassionate and non-judgemental approach to the topic. At the heart of such relationships is emotional trauma, and the book addresses this in a way that will promote insight and well-being. There are self-help exercises throughout the book to take readers on their own learning and change.The book invites readers into a conversation about some difficult topics, including maternal ambivalence and the emotional pain of not feeling loved, seen, protected or valued by the mother. Sadly, the family environment for some children is not a loving one, nor is it one where the family is struggling with many challenges which affect how the mother can relate to her daughter. Not all daughters stay with their birth mothers, some are raised by adoptive or foster mothers, or other family members. They may have relationships with both birth and adoptive mothers, either or both of which may be difficult for the daughter.In focusing on daughters and mothers, the book also recognises the importance of fathers, mothers' partners, and close family to how we develop. The author acknowledges that sons and mothers, daughters and fathers, sons and fathers can also be difficult and challenging relationships, however, the focus of this book is daughters and mothers.
The Ghost of Female Menopause
INTRODUCTIONFor generations females have suffered, not only with the Victorian attitude towards their sexuality, but towards the attitudes that women are a lesser human being than the males of the human species. Testosterone plays a part in this, but more so does the attitude adopted by many males within the world populations. Many males, and indeed, some females who develop the attitude, 'they are more dominant' than their sister counterparts, may also relate to the role male dominants plays in society. Biological females are born with great strengths in their mind and body. The distribution of strength is different to that of biological males, but none-the-less, it is a strength that has kept the human population moving forward for the last three hundred thousand years or since the time we evolved as homo-sapiens and came out of Africa. Like the humans who live today, these ancient people would have liked to know, they can eat, rest, and enjoy their daily lives. Over this time these people evolved behaviours that helped them respond to the changes that happen within unstable environments. We cannot dispute, the now collected scientific research, that proves the evolution of the species.The ancient people, though we are now 'better educated, ' we may think, also had working brains! Through our development, and over time, males and females have developed larger brains, however, the hormones that worked in the bodies and brains of those earlier people, are inherited, and still working in our bodies and brains today. The earlier people had sex, made love, loved their families, and developed their attitudes. So much of the working body are ancient without modification. Some of the human brain has modified, but the hormones, enzymes and other bodily parts that allow us to survive and live our daily lives relate to the ancient and past generations! When we take a deep breath and look back to the past, to our previous grandparents and past generations in our family line, we can see the ancient connections working inside our body and brain, and this is why, the actions, words said, and the attitudes, that belong in the past, need to be modernised. Negative attitudes towards women, in the 21st Century are out of date. If these words are hitting home, that is a good sign you are sensitive to the meaning written in the above! Christine

The Baby Market
A passionate and revealing examination of the unethical processes taking place within the U.S adoption system today. Written by the director of an adoption agency and the author of The Children Money Can Buy, The Baby Market illustrates the dramatic changes that have taken place in infant adoption over the past two decades, resulting in what feels like a wild west of adoption in which money is the might that makes right and the law is very hard to find. The book follows the true stories of women who choose adoption for their babies, some of them making this choice multiple times. There are also stories from adoptive parents who relate their experiences with scams, disappointments, emotional and financial exploitation, and the dubious "assistance" of baby brokers. The process of adopting a baby involves struggle, uncertainty, and even heartache but, for many people, somehow manages to end happily when birth and adoptive parents create connections that respectfully and even joyfully meet their need for one another. The Baby Market provides welcome encouragement and much needed information about how to avoid the numerous pitfalls inherent in adoption and offers suggestions for the reform of a corrupted adoption system.

Childhood Narcissism
"Not a quick how-to, this is for the parent, clinician, or caregiver seeking in-depth information and guidance." - Booklist Notice the signs of narcissism in your child and act to curb them before it's too late Raising empathetic and unselfish young people in today's "all about me" world might seem impossible, but parents can take meaningful action to protect children from these harmful influences. Written by a psychologist with decades of clinical experience, Childhood Narcissism explains how selfish, entitled behavior can take root in a child and shows parents how to stop it before it's too late. Mary Ann Little identifies the early warning signs that can result in a full-blown narcissistic disorder in adulthood and explores what nurtures a child's healthy, realistic self-concept and provides a positive model of love and relationships. Based on the latest research and theory, Childhood Narcissism also identifies four parent types that promote narcissistic development. By recognizing these traits in themselves, parents can work on their own shortcomings to build a stronger family and raise caring, empathetic children.

Adoption Unfiltered
Reveals the candid thoughts and feelings of those most directly involved in adoptions: adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents. Adoption Unfiltered authors Sara Easterly (adoptee), Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard (birth parent), and Lori Holden (adoptive parent) interview dozens of adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, social workers, therapists, and other allies--all sharing candidly about the challenges in adoption. While finding common ground in the sometimes-contentious space of adoption may seem like a lofty goal, it reveals the authors' optimistic aim: working together with truth and transparency to move toward healing. Healing isn't possible, though, without first uncovering the hurts--starting with adoption's central players: adoptees, who are so often in pain, suffering from what the latest brain science validates as the long-term emotional effects of separation trauma. By encouraging others to vulnerably share their stories, the authors discover that adoptees aren't the only ones in the adoption constellation who are hurting. Birth parents regularly shut down after being shut out by adoptive parents. Adoptive parents often struggle with unique parenting challenges and hidden insecurity, feeling the need to hide the fact that they are not the Super Parents they led the agency to believe they would be. Across the industry as a whole, misinformed and even unethical practices abound. Adoption Unfiltered models the importance of adults in adoption working together in the spirit of curiosity and empathy--to better support adoptees and their first and adoptive families.

Ashes
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Middle-aged brothers Jason and Tom Prendergast thought they were completely done with each other. Perceived betrayal had burned the bridge between them, tossing them into the icy river of estrangement. But life - and death - has a robust sense of irony, and when they learn that their cruel father has died and made his final request that they travel together across the country to spread his ashes, they have no choice but to spend a long, long car trip in each other's company. It's either that or lose out on the contents of the envelope he's left with his lawyer. The trip will be as gut-wrenching as each expects it to be . . . and revealing in ways neither of them is prepared for.
