Isabel has nothing left but anger. Anger over losing Bruiser. Anger over the news about her parents. Anger that Aunt Claire and Maya have gone back to their normal lives like nothing ever happened. And, most of all, anger that they will never be safe as long as Dr. Rodriquez is free. He has to be stopped. When Isabel and her friends find new experimental animals, they know the not-so-good doctor is nearby. This may be their last chance to end his reign of madness.

Escaping a kidnapping changes you. Nothing feels safe for Isabel as long as Dr. Rodriguez is still free to move forward with his diabolical plans. Stopping him is the only thing she thinks about. But Maya is busy thinking about where she’ll go to college. (Not near Isabel, that’s for sure.) And Aunt Claire is being questioned by the government about her research. (She’s the good guy, they should be focused on Dr. Rodriguez!) Then everything goes wrong on a trip to Washington, DC, landing the whole family in hot water. (It’s not like they were trying to steal the Declaration of Independence!) Worried that they’ll never be safe again, Isabel has to learn that she can’t do it all—defeating evil takes teamwork.

Sisters Isabel and Maya might fight like cats and dogs, but the one thing they can agree on is that Aunt Claire is hiding a big secret in her small-town veterinary clinic—and they’re going to find out what it is. When Aunt Claire is kidnapped and her animals are stolen, the girls must work together to save her. But doing so could expose her top-secret research to the world and allow the data to fall into very dangerous hands. This tale of courage, wit, and sisterhood is perfect for fans of Minerva Keen’s Detective Club.

This book uses composite clinical examples and the authors'' own practical experience to demonstrate how to treat addicted survivors of trauma and abuse. By integrating mental health paradigms with disease models of addiction, and combining psychotherapeutic techniques with 12-step recovery practices, the authors present an easy-to-replicate model for assessment and treatment. They provide an overview of the various types and resulting effects of childhood abuse and other traumas, and then describe the disease of addiction and its treatment. Simultaneously addressing both addiction and survivor issues, the book describes ways to identify and assess substance-dependent survivors, and organize, direct, and plan their treatment. In addition, it provides specific strategies for working with significant others, adolescents, and individuals who also exhibit antisocial, borderline, and narcissistic personality disorders. This book is aimed at psychologists, chemical dependency counselors, social workers, and family therapists.
