In 1926, 12-year-old Fu Lee lives with his grandparents in a small village in China. He lives with his grandparents because his parents are dead. It is a difficult life but made easier by the love Lee shares with his grandparents. But now Lee must leave all that he knows. Before his parents died, they spent all of their money buying a "paper son slot" for Lee to go to America. Being a "paper son" means pretending to be the son of a family already in America. If he goes, he will have the chance for a better life. But first he must pass the test at Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco. Only then will he be allowed to live with his new family. If Lee makes even a single mistake, he could be sent back to China. Lee knows his grandparents want a better life for him. He can't let them down.

"A young woman's journey through grief, trauma and growth" In a small Scottish village, Moira learns early that secrets can shape a lifetime. At just fifteen, she makes a life-altering decision, one that will follow her quietly into adulthood. As the years unfold, Moira faces loss after loss: the death of those she loves, the shattering discovery that her past is not what she believed, and a devastating betrayal by the people closest to her. When a violent attack leaves her fighting for her life, Moira is forced to confront not only the world around her, but the woman she has become. Drawn back to the village she once fled, Moira begins to heal among familiar sights and sounds and long-buried memories. Love returns when she least expects it, but the past is never done, and when it resurfaces far from home, Moira must face the limits of what she can hold on to and what she must finally let go of. Refusing to be defined by trauma and loss, Moira makes a courageous choice: to stop surviving and start living. Moira is a deeply moving, character-driven novel about resilience, family secrets, heartbreak, and the quiet strength it takes to claim and live your own life. Perfect for readers who love emotional women's fiction, stories of healing, and novels that linger long after the final page has been read. Content warning: Contains explicit depictions of sexual violence and physical assault, which may be triggering. Reader discretion advised.
A hilarious story full of noises and naughtiness. A sure-fire Christmas cracker of a book!

Meanwhile, Julius Astin is doing his best to avoid the persistent mothers and flirting daughters who manage to find a way to corner him, and his younger brother, Ambrose, has lost his heart to Phoebe's friend and reporter, Miss Lilly Lewis, who only has eyes for Julius.There is murder, love and mystery afoot, and it appears that for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting a crime go unpunished The Missing Bride mystery includes: - A hint of paranormal, fantasy, clairvoyant skills, and visions- A family with a funeral business and all the quirks that come with it- A beautiful and intriguing medium- A handsome detective who is happy to have all the help he can get to solve the mystery- Two handsome undertaker brothers who have their share of adventure and romance- Historical detail accurately researched and set in 1890 Australia.

This innovative book proposes a new model for comprehensive and effective leadership, drawn from the personal experiences and accounts of female educational leaders. The authors demonstrate how women conceptualize and practice their educational leadership roles in ways that differ significantly from most of their male counterparts. In redefining these differences as 'relational leadership', Regan and Brooks suggest that the attributes and skills that women bring to leadership are accessible and valuable to female and male school leaders alike.
