"An assured, powerful novel that blends suspense and rich family drama...it is, in a word, unforgettable." --William Landay, author of DEFENDING JACOB Wendy Walker''s All Is Not Forgotten begins in the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect. Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully constructed world. As Tom and Charlotte seek help for their daughter, the fault lines within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town - or perhaps lives among them - drive this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.

Roman à suspense

Older adults may face multiple and often overwhelming losses when they give up driving, creating a need for adjustment (Adler & Rottunda, 2006; M. J. Bauer, Rottunda, & Adler, 2003; Bedard & Kafka, 2008; Bonnel, 1999a; Carp, 1971; Cutler, 1972; Dellinger, Sehgal, Sleet, & Barrett-Connor, 2001; J.A. Kelley-Moore, J.G. Schumacher, E. Kahana, & B. Kahana, 2006; Liddle, Turpin, Carlson, & McKenna, 2008; Shope, 2003; Whitehead, Howie, & Lovell, 2006). Furthermore, driving cessation is related to poorer psychological well-being (Fonda, Wallace, & Herzog, 2001; Marottoli et al., 1997; Ragland, Satariano, & MacLeod, 2005; Windsor, Anstey, Butterworth, Luszcz, & Andrews, 2007). This thesis focuses on the impacts of no longer driving on psychological well-being, among an Australian population aged 65 years and above. Driving cessation literature is reviewed and embedded within the general context of older adult driving research. The Stress-Coping paradigm framework is adopted to better understand poorer well-being in relation to the post-cessation phase of driving within a broad spatial and temporal context. Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000a, 2000b; Ryan, 2009) and the Assimilative and Accommodative Model of Coping (Brandtstadter & Renner, 1990a, 1992) provide the theoretical foundations from which to examine the driving status-well-being relationship. Questions addressed include: What are the experiences of older adults who give up driving? What is the impact of driving cessation stressors on well-being? Why is driving cessation experienced negatively? And, does coping buffer the effects of driving cessation on well-being? The Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) (A. T. Beck & Alford, 2009; A. T. Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979; J. S. Beck, 1995) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (Luoma, et al., 2007) approaches to the conceptualisation and treatment of depressive symptoms generally, and specifically among older ex-drivers, and implications for policy makers are discussed.

Step into picture-perfect Wilshire, home to some of the most privileged people in the world, where one woman’s desperate act could bring the precariously balanced social order crashing down… Wilshire, Connecticut, the gilded enclave of Manhattan’s prosperous elite, appears to be a vision of suburban tranquility: the mansions are tastefully designed, the lawns are expertly manicured, and the streets are as hushed as the complexities in the residents’ lives. While Wilshire''s husbands battle each other in the financial world, their wives manage their estates and raise the next elite generation. Some women are envied, some respected, and others simply tolerated. But regardless of where they stand, each woman is defined by the world she inhabits and bound by the unyielding social structure that surrounds her. Rosalyn Barlow, the most envied woman in Wilshire, is waging a battle of social manipulation to silence the scandalous gossip that threatens her daughter''s reputation while her self-made billionaire husband grows more and more distant in his young retirement. But for fourteen year-old Caitlin Barlow, navigating life as a teenager in a culture of wealth and sexual promiscuity has become far more perilous than either of her parents knows. Newcomer Sarah Livingston has nothing but disdain for everyone and everything around her and a growing terror at having another child in a world she''s come to resent. As she is pulled into the Barlow family''s storm, the walls begin to close in around her marriage and the life she once thought she wanted. And for Jacqueline Halstead, who''s just discovered her husband is under investigation for fraud surrounding his hedge fund, saving her family from total ruin means doing the unthinkable - and shaking the Barlow family, Wilshire''s insular community, and herself to the core.

The world of four women living in the affluent suburban paradise of Hunting Ridge begins to unravel as infidelity, abuse, and a troubled past threaten to expose the reality behind the facade of their "perfect" marriages to wealthy and successful men.

Kelsey Lanier had never given much thought to marriage until she was given an ultimatum. Chose a husband or have one chosen for her. Neither truly appealed to her until Brandt Alexander, a handsome sea captain just returned to the port of Charleston, re-entered her life. He was everything a young girl could want as a husband. But as Kelsey would soon realize, he had no intention of marrying. Brandt Alexander had always reveled in the freedom of his life at sea. Nothing tied him to the land, and nothing ever would. But he had not counted on falling under the spell of the winsome Kelsey Lanier and soon found that he had developed feelings for her that he could not deny. But an accident would force him to return to sea just as they realize the extent of their love for one another. Vowing they would marry upon his return, neither could know of the circumstances that led to a betrayal that would indeed force Kelsey into the marriage chosen for her. But as one unfortunate event had torn them apart, another would bring them together again and tempt them to remember a love not forgotten.

Those who wish to avoid the costs of educational reform often point to Asian Americans as evidence that minorities can succeed without special program support. But as Wendy Walker-Moffat shows, the story of Asian American success deflects attention from the very real problems faced by new Asian immigrant groups. In this book, Walker-Moffat reveals the bitter contrast between the educational experiences of new Asian immigrant groups and the Asian American success myth. Using the case of the Hmong, a Southeast Asian refugee group that settled across the United States, the author shows how ill-prepared school systems are to educate newcomers.
