They always ask, why? They ponder because they can't fathom doing what we do to ourselves--we are, quite literally, dying to be thin--they don't understand the illness because they don't understand the pain. Joanne's memoir tells the story of one woman's struggle with anorexia and bulimia, depression, and other mental illnesses. It steps into her disordered mind and shows what life is like inside a toxic household, the stigma many patients continue to face, in and out of treatment, and the harsh reality of an eating disorder. Once you tell them, they suddenly don't want to know. If you do, I'll tell you.
“This is the thing, you see: I am on my way to being an old man. But at sixty, I am still the youngest of old men.” As acclaimed journalist and author Ian Brown’s sixtieth birthday loomed, every moment seemed to present a choice: Confront, or deny, the biological fact that the end was now closer than the beginning. Brown chose instead to notice every moment—to try to capture precisely what he was experiencing, without panicking. Sixty is the result: an uncensored, seriocomic report, a slalom of day-to-day dramas (as husband, father, brother, friend, and neighbor), inquisitive reporting, and acute insights from the line between middle-aged and soon-to-be-elderly.

When a child who has special problems is born, Carrie Gruman-Trinkner insists that this little one is a wonderful gift from God-not in spite of those problems and differences, but because of them. She understands the struggles that parents of children with differences go through, but also says, "Rejoice. God has given you a precious and wondrous gift-one that will touch your heart forever." This book is written to express the needs of parents of older children as well as those who are just beginning their journey as the parent of a child that faces physical and development challenges.
When the Heart Must Rip is a family chronicle written in six parts. At times humourous and others heartbreaking the book takes the reader by various stages from the Kent of the 1930’s to The Amazon of thirty years later. A gripping opening explores sinister goings on which had occurred in part prior to the opening of the novel, laying bare deep-seated emotional damage, exposing past murder and an arrest is made. Fast forwarding to 1945 and the end of The Second World War the plot thickens as further murder takes place and a clever conspiracy is uncovered. The scene moves to the jungles of South America where a dramatic adventure stretches the emotions to their most raw and exposed. Ten years on, a routine funeral brings the family back together, inspiring a search party for a missing family member. Via a search of The Americas, in the end past secrets and the truth come to light.
This book is one of 23 volumes of research commissioned by the Royal Commission on Electoral Reform and Party Financing, and one of five volumes within this series dealing specifically with party and election finance. Because the issue of money in elections is as old as democracy, the experience of other countries is instructive. The studies in this volume offer Canadians information about approaches to funding political parties and elections in the United States and Western Europe. The studies by Herbert Alexander and Robert Mutch exmaine how the United States has approached issues such as contribution limits and the disclosure of election finances. The latter study provides explicit compar...
