Notes of a Love Song

Day-to-Day with Parkinson's Disease

By: Claire Verney

When Claire Verney agreed to ‘for better or for worse, in sickness and in health’ she never imagined the journey that lay ahead of her. Her husband Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the age of forty-six. Notes of a Love Song chronicles their lives as Claire becomes her husband’s full-time caregiver and medical advocate as he struggles with the ravages of end-stage Parkinson's. It spans the final four years of Michael's life at home where he lived and died with dignity through the constant care and love of his wife. The author weaves her way through the history of her husband's disease while reflecting on her own history, her family and how all are deeply affected by this mercilessly degenerative disease. Told with warmth and humour, Notes of a Love Song offers a rare and timely glimpse into the realities of long-term care of parents and spouses, either in institutions or at home. It is written as a love story, a tribute, but is equally a how-to manual, imparting valuable medical information about Parkinson's Disease, dementia, palliative care and the importance of patient advocacy.

Falling into Now

Memories of Sport, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Education

By: Claire Smith

When Claire reflects on her life now in the opening chapter, she mentions that her right leg is in a brace. Readers are left wondering what happened. Why is she grateful to be able to walk only a few steps? The answer is gradually revealed over the course of the memoir as Claire writes about her equestrian life and the years following its sudden end on September 13, 1997. While she chronicles her past, her story weaves into and out of the now. Although Claire feels that she will never completely let go of the successes—or of the crushing disappointments—that accentuated her time in the equestrian world, this memoir is about so much more. It’s about being driven to pursue a goal. It’s about a life-changing loss. It’s about arduous recovery. It’s about a life evolving into something completely unexpected. A compelling story of determination, resilience, and persistence in the face of tremendous loss, this memoir is bound to be inspiring, particularly for the many individuals who are forced to confront life-altering challenges.

Metamorphosis in Care

Dementia

Metamorphosis in Care

By: Claire Biernacki

Our perceptions of dementia and what dementia care should constitute have changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Research has uncovered a mass of information concerning all aspects of dementia. This wealth of information should be reflected in a dramatic change, indeed a metamorphosis, in the way people with dementia are cared for. No such change has occurred. Dementia - Metamorphosis in Care will address the need for change and provide practitioners with a means of understanding why adhering to the old model – the medical approach – can be damaging in current care settings. Practitioners are advised on what is needed from them in order that they can positively influence the lives of those living with dementia. The importance of the role of professional carer and the responsibility they carry regarding whether or not care improves, is underlined throughout the book.

Daisy’s Gift

The remarkable cancer-detecting dog who saved my life

By: Claire Guest

Claire Guest was walking her dogs when Daisy, a fox red Labrador, nudged her breast insistently and stared up into her face with her big brown eyes. Sensing something was wrong, Claire visited her GP and soon found out she had a very deep – and difficult to diagnose – form of breast cancer. Daisy had saved her life, simply by smelling her cancer. With her scientific background and deep love of dogs, Claire intuited that Daisy and her canine pals could save many more lives, and set up the charity Medical Detection Dogs. Though faced with many challenges, Claire and her dogs have proven to be a remarkable asset to cancer detection, and have changed the lives of many seriously ill people and their families. This is the story of how our relationship with dogs can unleash life-saving talents, changing not only the medical world, but our own lives too.

Pharaoh

King of Ancient Egypt

By: Marie Vandenbeusch,Aude Semat,Margaret St. Claire Maitland,Margaret Todd Maitland

A fresh look at the British Museum's celebrated and extensive ancient Egyptian collection from across three thousand years Pharaoh: King of Ancient Egypt introduces readers to three thousand years of Egypt's ancient history by unveiling its famous rulers--the pharaohs--using some of the finest objects from the vast holdings of the British Museum, along with masterworks from the collection fo the Cleveland Museum of Art.. In an introductory essay, Margaret Maitland looks at Egyptian kingship in terms of both ideology and practicality. Then Aude Semat considers the Egyptian image of kingship, its roles and its uses. In ten additional sections, Marie Vandenbeusch delves into themes related to the land of ancient Egypt, conceptions of kingship, the exercise of power, royal daily life, war and diplomacy, and death and afterlife. Detailed entries by Vandenbeusch and Semat cover key works relating to the pharaohs. These objects, beautifully illustrated in 180 photographs, include monumental sculpture, architectural pieces, funerary objects, exquisite jewelry, and papyri. The rulers of ancient Egypt were not always male, or even always Egyptian. At times, Egypt was divided by civil war, conquered by foreign powers, or ruled by competing kings. Many of the objects surviving from ancient Egypt represent the image a pharaoh wanted to project, but this publication also looks past the myth to explore the realities and immense challenges of ruling one of the greatest civilizations the world has seen.

The Wildwater Walking Club: Walk the Talk (#4)

Book 4 of The Wildwater Walking Club series

By: Claire Cook

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Must Love Dogs series. “Charming, engagingly quirky, and full of fun, Claire Cook just gets it.”—Meg Cabot “Cook’s poignancy and sassy humor resonate with readers; her theme of reinvention uplifts and inspires.”—Savannah Magazine The truth is most of us know what we should be doing by this point in our lives. The trick is doing it, actually walking that talk. But even for The Wildwater Walking Club, walking the talk is easier said than done when it’s winter in New England and you’re supposed to be rolling out of bed to walk the beach at the crack of dawn. Noreen’s buyout package benefits have run out out, her health coaching business hasn’t exactly taken off yet, and she’s really hoping she can walk her relationship talk with Rick. Rosie is on overload with mom life and too many landscape design plans. Just as Tess is trying to purge and downsize, her borderline adult son boomerangs back. Dashing from the snow to thaw out and reset in a last-minute women’s walking getaway to Savannah might be just what The Wildwater Walking Club friends need to take the next step. Join Noreen, Tess and Rosie on their most inspiring adventure yet. You’ll be lacing up your sneakers and walking your own talk in no time! “Claire Cook is wicked good.”—Jacquelyn Mitchard “The Wildwater Walking Club reminds us of what’s important in life—the joy of friendship, the power of a brisk walk, and of course the importance of a good book. I couldn’t put it down.”—Anisha Lakhani “The women of The Wildwater Walking Club are a delightful trio, full of heart and determination. As they—literally—put one foot in front of the other, the three new friends find unlikely paths that point them toward more fulfilling lives. Their journey left me genuinely inspired.”—Jean Reynolds Page “Claire Cook has an original voice, sparkling style, and a window into family life that will make you laugh and cry.”—Adriana Trigiani “Claire Cook infuses her novels with that sassy kind of offbeat humor that makes you giggle, shake your head, and then keep reading. And isn’t that what you want a beach book to do?” —Florida Today “Readers who enjoy a celebration of friendship will want to walk alongside the Wildwater trio.”—Midwest Book Revie “A beach tote couldn’t ask for more.”—Kirkus “Claire Cook (Must Love Dogs) has built a brand writing light-hearted women’s fiction blending kernels of the absurd and comedic in compulsively readable combinations.”—Shelf Awareness “The Wildwater Walking Club is a quick smart read that will get you thinking about walking, friendship, and making time for the things you love.”—Book Reporter Go to ClaireCook.com for your free gift, 41 Essential Quotes To Get Your Glow On, exclusively for newsletter subscribers.
