You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to girls haven't improved in twenty years. The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it. Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering-where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields. Plus, girls are telling us they're eager for the kind of work engineering offers-yet we fail to help them connect the dots. As a woman enjoying a career in STEM, author Julie Newman is committed to changing this. With extensive research and actionable steps, Pull, Don't Push clarifies the challenges facing STEM outreach and will help you create a new framework for your efforts. Following the guidelines in this book could literally put a million women into STEM jobs within the next decade. Learn how to stop pushing girls away and instead pull them toward unexplored paths to fulfillment.

Two women. One man. A buried secret. They were reunited at his funeral, school friends with a shared past. A past that is anything but straightforward. A past that harbours secrets. Karen has a seemingly perfect life. An adoring husband, two wonderful children and a beautiful home. She has all she has ever wanted. She also has a secret. Sandra knows Karen’s secret and her once-perfect life is rapidly unravelling. The man who meant everything to her had a dark side and her business is failing. To get her life back on track she needs to reclaim what is rightfully hers. As the past meets the present, truths are revealed as both women come to understand the true cost of betrayal… What readers are saying about Beware The Cuckoo: "An incredibly captivating and well written debut novel."

"A really well-told story of deceit and love."

Discovering the truth could be the death of her. Samantha is a journalist who longs to investigate a big story that will launch her career. In a search for her big break, she comes across a little-reported press story in India. A hotelier - Amit Joshi – has been accused of rape but exonerated when it is revealed he is female. Samantha, believing there is more to the story, begins to investigate, helped by colleague Gregory whose brother, Simon, works for the British High Commission in Delhi. But as more comes to light, Simon is found brutally murdered. And when Gregory travels to India to discover what happened to his brother, he goes missing. With the authorities seemingly unable to help, Samantha heads to India to search for Gregory and discover the truth behind Amit's story and Simon's murder. But thrown into a dark underworld with danger at every turn, discovering the truth could prove to be the death of not just the story but Samantha herself... Murder and deceit abound in the exotic backstreets of India in Julie Newman's compelling new thriller. What readers are saying about Cast No Shadow: "An exciting and compelling read." "Gripping, original, genre-defying page-turner." "Just when you think you know where it's going there's an intriguing twist." "Through every turn of the page, there was another twist or turn that just made you want to read more."

How far would you go to conceal the truth? Widow Helen is desperate for a perfect family life and will do everything she can to get what she wants. Veteran Martin is adrift and seemingly without hope. Can he ever win back his estranged family? Pregnant teenager Charley is striking out on her own to create a new life for her unborn child, but her mother Lizzie has other ideas. When three seemingly disparate lives connect, the past and the present collide to reveal secrets, lies and how far people are willing to go to hide the truth. Julie Newman's thrilling new novel lifts the lid on the dark past that haunts a seemingly happy household.
