A Dog Like Peggy
By the Author of A Dog Like Ralph & The Diary of a Human and a Dog. For the first four years of her life Peggy was one of the thousands of greyhounds who are forced to race - long dogs born to run as fast as they can to make money for those who own them. Once she was no longer winning she became useless to the industry. Fortunately for Peggy, however, she was one of the luckier ex-racing dogs, and was placed in the care of a greyhound rescue charity. In rescue she waited another year for her forever home. Clare spotted her picture on the rescue shelter's web page and immediately knew Peggy was the dog to join her family. And so, Peggy became the trusted canine companion to their other dog, the very nervous, sort-of-greyhound, Ralph. In this book, Peggy narrates her own story, taking us from the harrowing days on the track, to the life she now has living with Ralph, and not forgetting Lucy - the little dog with the teeth. This is a story about the bonds between dogs, and the many ways in which humans influence their lives. It is a book suitable for dog-loving older teens... but will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever loved a rescue dog.

From the idealist to the "holdout," the individual stories—of how and why they voted for life or death—drive the narrative. The reader is right there siding with one or another juror in this riveting read. From movies to novels to television, juries fascinate.

The Dalai Lama Caper
The murky world of secret service organizations such as the CIA and the FBI is explored in this intriguing narrative that suggests that the author's family has been under surveillance since the 1940s. Believing that he is at the center of intense interest from the intelligence services, Barry Titus feels he has become the victim of vicious gossip and rumors that are meant to drive him to the brink of insanity--and keep him from divulging humiliating material about the U.S. government, including the massage-parlor past of a White House speechwriter. With his belief in Buddhism providing little relief during this stressful period, Titus begins to have a telepathic war of wills with the Dalai Lama.
