A social worker turns amateur sleuth when a teen in her care goes missing, and the girl’s mother is found murdered, in this southern domestic thriller. Claire Conover is in a bind. The thirteen-year-old girl who had been taken into custody for sleeping behind a grocery store has disappeared without a trace. Worse, her mother’s dead body is discovered on a construction site. Is it possible the runaway daughter pulled the trigger? Or is the girl a victim of her murdered mother’s shady lifestyle? The only thing Claire knows is she needs to find the girl—fast—even if it means teaming up with an investigative reporter whose intentions toward her may be more than platonic. Prowling the streets of Birmingham, Claire works to solve the dark puzzle of the girl’s life, desperate to find her alive and keep her safe, once and for all. Praise for Little Lamb Lost, Book 1 of the Claire Conover Mysteries: “Fenton puts her experiences as a social worker to good use in her promising debut. . . . With her fine ear for regional speech, Fenton may do for Birmingham what Margaret Maron has done for rural North Carolina.” —Publishers Weekly “A relentless social worker makes an intriguing amateur sleuth, and Birmingham offers a fresh take on the New South as a setting for crime fiction. . . . [A] promising new series.” —Booklist

Little White Lies

By: Margaret Fenton

A social worker turns amateur sleuth when the child in her care is endangered in this southern domestic thriller. Claire Conover’s first instinct is always to keep children safe. So when the social worker’s latest case involves a biracial baby orphaned by what looks like a racially-motivated attack, Claire works night and day to find a family to take in the eight month old. But the only relatives she uncovers could put the baby’s life into more danger. The case quickly upends her personal life, and the home she is making with her boyfriend, Grant. Things get even more complicated when the teen runaway Claire has been worrying about turns up, brutalized and homeless. Of course, Claire takes her in, even though the move puts her job—and her relationship—at risk. Keeping the children in her care out of harm’s way is second nature for Claire. But this time, it could cost her everything. Praise for Little Lamb Lost, Book 1 of the Claire Conover Mysteries: “Fenton puts her experiences as a social worker to good use in her promising debut. . . . With her fine ear for regional speech, Fenton may do for Birmingham what Margaret Maron has done for rural North Carolina.” —Publishers Weekly “A relentless social worker makes an intriguing amateur sleuth, and Birmingham offers a fresh take on the New South as a setting for crime fiction. . . .

Child Neuropsychology

Assessment and Interventions for Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2nd Edition

By: Margaret Semrud-Clikeman,Phyllis Anne Teeter Ellison

During the past decade, significant advances have been made in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders, resulting in a considerable impact on conceptualization, diagnostics, and practice. The second edition of Child Neuropsychology: Assessment and Interventions for Neurodevelopmental Disorders brings readers up to speed clearly and authoritatively, offering the latest information on neuroimaging technologies, individual disorders, and effective treatment of children and adolescents. Starting with the basics of clinical child neuropsychology and functional anatomy, the authors present a transactional framework for assessment, diagnosis, and intervention. The book carefully links structure and function—and behavioral and biological science—for a more nuanced understanding of brain development and of pathologies as varied as pervasive developmental disorders, learning disabilities, neuromotor dysfunction, seizure disorders, and childhood cancers. This volume features a range of salient features valuable to students as well as novice and seasoned practitioners alike, including: Overview chapters that discuss the effects of biogenic and environmental factors on neurological functioning. New emphasis on multicultural/cross-cultural aspects of neuropsychology and assessment. Brand new chapters on interpretation, neuropsychological assessment process, and report writing. An integrative model of neurological, neuroradiological, and psychological assessment and diagnosis. Balanced coverage of behavioral, pharmacological, and educational approaches to treatment. Case studies illustrating typical and distinctive presentations and successful diagnosis, treatment planning, and intervention. Important practice updates, including the new HIPAA regulations. Child Neuropsychology, 2nd Edition, is vital reading for school, clinical child, and counseling psychologists as well as neuropsychologists. The book also provides rich background and practical material for graduate students entering these fields.

Rock Stars Do the Dumbest Things

By: Margaret Moser,Bill Crawford

Aerosmith. Elvis Presley. Michael Jackson. Nine Inch Nails. Ozzy Osbourne. U2. What do all of these artists have in common? They're rich and rowdy rock 'n' roll renegades whose wild stunts, dumb quotes, and out-of-control lifestyles are featured in Rock Stars Do the Dumbest Things. --Where else will you find an explanation (goodness knows, we need one) of the Spice Girls' fourteen and one-half minutes of fame straight from the mouths of babes--Baby Spice, that is? "We're like a religious cult." --Or where will you learn Izzy Stradlin's (of Guns N' Roses) deep thoughts on the virtues of vomiting out of a bus going sixty-five miles an hour? --And how live octopuses end up in a bathtub with Led Zepplin's female playmates? Whether you're a Metallica or Madonna fan, you'll get plenty of jaw-dropping facts and anecdotes, along with biographical and career highlights of over eighty-eight raunchy rock 'n' rollers. From current starts like Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love, to classic rockers like the Rolling Stones and the Eagles, Rock Stars Do the Dumbest Things is proof that rock music is still crazy after all these years.

Little Lamb Lost

By: Margaret Fenton

“A relentless social worker makes an intriguing amateur sleuth” in this southern crime novel, the first in a “promising new series” (Booklist). Two-year-old Michael Hennessey is found dead and his mother, Ashley is arrested. The only person who doesn’t believe Ashley Hennessey killed her son is Claire Conover, the social worker who put Michael back in his mother’s home. Claire believes Ashley has recovered from a life of booze and drugs and turned over a new leaf for the sake of her child. Now Claire just has to prove Ashley’s innocence to the police. There’s no shortage of other suspects. There’s the boyfriend who didn’t like being saddled with his girlfriend’s kid, and Ashley’s alcoholic stepfather with a shady past. And what about the boy’s mysterious father? But the search for answers is fraught with uncertainty as Claire comes up against her own doubts. Maybe she got it wrong. Maybe Ashley was using again. Maybe reuniting mother and son was a misjudgment Claire would regret for the rest of her life. Whatever the truth is, one thing is certain: Claire is about to uncover secrets that could ruin lives—or end her own. “Fenton puts her experiences as a social worker to good use in her promising debut. . . . With her fine ear for regional speech, Fenton may do for Birmingham what Margaret Maron has done for rural North Carolina.” —Publishers Weekly “A riveting story . . . Little Lamb Lost is highly recommended reading.” —Midwest Book Review “Well done.” —Library Journal

They Persisted

They Persisted

By: Margaret M. Kirk

History is fascinating! At some point, you studied history, and it is likely that you already know about some pretty interesting women, like Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and Amelia Earhart, to name a few. However, there are more amazing women that you may not have heard about, like Helen Marot, Mary Fields, Bessie Coleman, and many others. Stories connect us like the threads that create a tapestry. They stitch us securely into a multigenerational quilt of life and community. History helps us learn who we are, but when we don't know our own history, our power and dreams are immediately diminished. History must tell the whole story; knowing the achievements of women expands our sense of what is real and what is possible. This collection of stories lifts these women from the archives where they have become fossilized and dusty. It breathes new life into them. They are vessels for preserving truth and inspiring a new generation.
