Despite describing an Irish-Scottish childhood in Glasgow during the 1930s Depression – in a period book-ended by two world wars – The Facts of Life is written in a charming and simple style with many amusing and memorable vignettes. As Anne grows into adolescence, the warm and loving relationship with her parents begins to grow dull and chafe as a new and exciting social life opens up in dancing, amateur dramatics and in the university campus. Although it is a personal intimate story of suburban family life in Scotland, it is of interest to parents and early educators the world over. Anne McKenna’s professional familiarity with child psychology, parent-child relations, education and cultural and religious practice permeates the narrative in a seamless and rich account of childhood. From this forthright and practical account, the reader will absorb much that is helpful in their own child rearing practice and preschool activities from the chapters on learning to read, folklore of children’s street games and how children learn the facts of life

A sexy, witchy paranormal romance series starter from the voice of New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland. Love always casts a spell . . . My name is Raye. Miss Larsen to my students. And I see ghosts. Like the freaky little kid in the movie said: They’re everywhere. In choosing my occupation, I tried to get as far away from the dead as possible. I figured I’d be safe in a kindergarten classroom. Boy, was I wrong. The first murder in decades brings New Orleans homicide detective Bobby Doucet to town. Our attraction is instantaneous. Bobby is on the trail of a serial killer and our victim fits the profile of the others, as does the next one. And the next. Life becomes dangerous, chaotic, damn near unbelievable. Covens, witch hunters, magic, a lone black wolf where she doesn’t belong and suddenly my life is in danger. Events in his past have caused Bobby to harbor an intense hatred of all things supernatural; he believes anyone who pretends to have psychic abilities is a liar, a charlatan and a thief. Which makes it kinda hard to tell him . . . the murder victims have been talking to me. Fans of Juliette Cross, Deanna Chase, and Lily Harper Hart will be captivated.
