Headline: Stepsisters, yes. Friends? Maybe ... Diana loves horses. Horses terrify Stephanie. Diana takes pills for her mood disorder. Stephanie smiles a little too wide. Now their blended family is vacationing for the first time since the wedding—at a ranch that only highlights the girls'' extreme differences. Things seem hopeless, until Diana discovers caged wolf-dogs and convinces Stephanie to help free them. Though a truce is formed, a herd of unforeseen consequences is soon galloping out of their control. But it might be just what their relationship needs.

Heartache is par for the course. Fifteen years after her troubled daughter Julie ran away from home, Beth Sawyer stumbles across a newspaper photograph of an up-and-coming teen golfer, who not only shares her last name, but also looks just like her daughter. Sky Sawyer couldn’t possibly be her granddaughter—or could she? With her sort-of-functional life spinning out of control—and let’s not get started on her soon-to-be-married ex-husband—Beth meets Barry, a fellow golfer whom she accidentally hits with her golf ball. Will he take her to court or to dinner? When Sky Sawyer joins her high school golf team, she hopes that the mother she thought dead may still be alive and seek her out at the championship tournament. But when she discovers that the man who raised her is not her father and a woman claiming to be her long-lost grandmother appears, her world falls apart. With Beth and Sky fighting to gain what they both had lost, can they finally get a second chance at a happily ever after?

Stepsisters Stephanie and Diana undergo another adventure when they embark on a Grand Cayman cruise with their extended family to celebrate their grandmother’s 80th birthday. But the vacation gets complicated with the addition of an eccentric Granny and a video-taping manic cousin. Plus Stephanie’s growing interest in boys makes Diana’s Mood-o-Meter swing like a pendulum.

For Jackson Whitman, a 42-year-old, challenge- seeking, logistics manager, she did just that on a recent job promotion that took her from Charlotte North Carolina to upstate New York. What was supposed to be a new and exciting beginning in her career within her company of eleven years was turning out to be one of the worst decisions she could have ever made while struggling with the tough decision on whether to stay or leave her new home and even her company. Her decision may be made easier once signs arise of abuse of power by underhanded management staff as well as abuse and belittlement of the hard-working employees that worked within the branch. Jackson sacrificed many things for her own personal achievement, one including putting off plans with the love of her life, Gail Wilson to relocate to Florida to start a new life of their own as planned. However, one thing Jackson will not sacrifice is her dignity, self-worth, and integrity. As true colors continue to rear their ugly faces between her own corporate department along with her new, deceitful, and disgraceful branch manager, Jackson’s window is closing around her, and decision time is now. What does the future hold for Jackson in her new world? What decisions will be made with her prominent career as well as life as she knew it in North Carolina? Will she stick it out in the uncertain, cold world of upstate New York or will she make the ultimate, risky, and brave move to call it quits and return to the love of her life and back to her home in Charlotte? And if she does, will she and Gail finally make it to the sunny skies of Florida as the two had originally planned?

Lisa Williams''s award-winning collection of poems is infused with what John Hollander calls "a guarded wonder." A poet of unique vision, she seems always to be "looking at, " with special attention to the experience of the senses. In addition, Williams is concerned with epistemology - the how of seeing. And it is perhaps this quality of attention that informs her interest in the formulations of poetry itself, in its constructed dimension. Her control of the line, of rhythmic possibilities, of structures both formal and free, is evident in every poem. Together, Lisa Williams''s original voice and her poetic finesse allow her to create those harmonies of wonder evoked by the very instrument, the hammered dulcimer, that gives her collection its name.

This book describes how a group of young people make decisions about drug taking. It charts the decision making process of recreational drug takers and non-drug takers as they mature from adolescence into young adulthood. With a focus upon their perceptions of different drugs, it situates their decision making within the context of their everyday lives. Changing lives, changing drug journeys presents qualitative longitudinal data collected from interviewees at age 17, 22 and 28 and tracks the onset of drug journeys, their persistence, change and desistance. The drug journeys and the decision making process which underpins them are analysed by drawing upon contemporary discourses of risk and life course criminology. In doing so, a new theoretical framework is developed to help us understand drug taking decision making in contemporary society. This framework highlights the pleasures and risks that interviewees perceive when making decisions whether or not to take drugs. The ways in which their drug journeys and life journeys intersect and how social relationships and transitions to adulthood facilitate or constrain the decision making process are also explored. Qualitative longitudinal research of this kind is uncommon yet it provides an invaluable insight into the decision making process of individuals during the life course. The book will, therefore, be of interest to researchers and students from a variety of disciplines including qualitative research methods as well as sociology, criminology, cultural and health studies. It will also be an important resource for professionals working in health promotion, drugs education, harm reduction and treatment.

Letters to Virginia Woolf is both a lyrical memoir and meditation on Woolf''s life and writing. Starting with the events of 9/11, Williams examines Woolf''s anti-war views and their relevance to our present time. In her pacifist manifesto, Three Guineas, Woolf wrote, "A common interest unites us; it is one world, one life." This book explores the events of 9/11 within the context of Woolf''s passionate cry for a world without war. In six concise parts, Lisa Williams writes letters to Virginia Woolf that reflect on Woolf''s ideas about war, memory, and childhood as well as her own experiences with these very issues.

Examines the literary relationship between Woolf and Morrison and how differing structures of domination define their art.

In recent years, British drug policy has undergone a transformation: tackling ''drug-driven'' crime through criminal justice interventions has arguably become the central priority and focus. The ''criminal justice turn'', as the authors refer to current UK drugs policy, is based on three simple and linked assumptions: drug-driven property crime is a major driver of local area crime rates, especially in deprived neighbourhoods; the criminal justice system can be used to target these drug-motivated offenders and direct them into treatment; and treatment can lead to significant reductions in their offending. Tough Choices: Risk, Security and the Criminalization of Drug Policy explores a series of questions about the ''criminal justice'' turn in British drugs policy, from why it happened at all to what led policy to unfold in the way that it did, by analyzing policy documents and over 200 interviews conducted with key players in the policy development and implementation process. At the practice level, the authors explore how the strategic vision of the drug-crime ''problem'' has shaped the ways in which drug-using offenders are identified, targeted and managed - in other words, why the implementation of the Drug Interventions Programme on the ground has taken the forms that it has. This is addressed through a detailed examination of practice in three local areas. Both the emergence of this new policy direction and its implementation in practice can best be understood as part of a wider transformation in governance in which risk-based thinking has become central to the ways in which we seek to address our contemporary insecurities. The book is based on a 30-month ESRC-funded research project on the Drug Interventions Programme and draws on the extensive empirical data generated during the project.
