Valley of Shadows
Cassie despised rudeness. Every new job brought challenges. She discovered the parents often needed more training than the children. The nanny wanted no sympathy for her scars. Her aunt and a three-legged cat had taught her to love. She simply wanted people to respect others. She had a way to get their attention. Madam wishes to speak with you, Melvin said in his stiff way. Cassie brought the child down the front stairs. She passed through the elaborate dining room and entered the kitchen. She left the upstairs maid to watch Joey. Yes, Madam. She stood close to the pompous woman. I see the uniforms fit nicely. We do prefer starch, but we can overlook that. However, that hairthat hair. You must do something with it! The uncaring attitude was more than Cassie could take. She reached to the crown of her head, yanking the wig upward. In a flash, it was extended at the end of the nannys long arm. Herewhat shall I do with it? She went to care for the child, while the butler and maid revived Madam.

Silver Linings
This is a book that shows people how the worst things that happen to them can often be blessings in disguise, and how to use make the most of those blessings -- as catalysts to lasting and significant life changes.

But in Silver Linings, psychotherapist Melissa West shows how to create meaning from life-shattering events, making misfortune not a death sentence but rather a call to courage and change. With this practical and inspirational program, West takes readers through the three stages of Loss, Wilderness, and New Life, a journey that leads to wholeness and wisdom.
