Right after "Is it a boy or a girl?" and "What's his/her name?," the next question people invariably ask new parents is "Are you getting any sleep?" Unfortunately, the answer is usually "Not much." In fact, studies show that approximately 25% of young children experience some type of sleep problem and, as any bleary-eyed parent will attest, it is one of the most difficult challenges of parenting. Drawing on her ten years of experience in the assessment and treatment of common sleep problems in children, Dr. Jodi A. Mindell now provides tips and techniques, the answers to commonly asked questions, and case studies and quotes from parents who have successfully solved their children's sleep problems. Unlike other books on the subject, Dr. Mindell also offers practical tips on bedtime, rather than middle-of-the-night-sleep training, and shows how all members of the family can cope with the stresses associated with teaching a child to sleep.

"I LOVE this book. It flowed perfectly from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down." All is set to change for Alice and Sam as they expect their first child together. Just how they are going to fit themselves, their baby and Sam’s daughter Sophie into their little two-bed cottage is a mystery, but Alice is determined not to get stressed out. Her focus is on best friend Julie, who is trying unsuccessfully for a baby, and on Sophie, who is torn between staying in Cornwall with Sam, or moving to Devon with her mum. Then there are Alice’s parents, who don’t seem happy with their own move to Cornwall, and Jonathan, who also appears to be falling out of love with life there. At least work is going well, with a glowing review of Amethi in Staycation magazine, and the possibility of picking up some tourism awards. But it should be no surprise when life throws a couple more challenges in the way. Can Alice really survive her pregnancy stress-free, and can her friendship with Julie survive the strain of the differing situations they now find themselves in? Preceded by A Second Chance Summer, After the Sun, As Boundless as the Sea and Sticks and Stones, this much-anticipated fifth book will not disappoint. As we travel through a long, cold winter, from the solstice to Christmas and into new year, the emphasis is on fresh starts and new beginnings. An inspirational read. Something About the Stars continues the story and, for those who are interested, book seven is underway! Read more

"I absolutely loved this book and really hope there will be another in this series." Two years into her new life in Cornwall, and while Alice Griffiths’ own romantic hopes have been dashed, it appears that whichever way she looks, her friends are getting hitched. A handsome stranger at Bea’s wedding could well change Alice’s fortunes but she may be better off ploughing her energies into her working life. While each season brings a new wedding, the months leading up to Christmas, and David and Martin's big day, become about taking risks for Alice. Should she leave the safety of the Sail Loft Hotel? Is starting a business the best idea she and Julie have ever had, or the end of a beautiful friendship? And should she push Sam Branvall out of her mind for good and take a chance on handsome, successful Paul Winters? From upsetting her manager at the Sail Loft, to Sam moving back to town; not to mention a phone call announcing her mother has been taken seriously ill, it’s going to take a cool head to navigate successfully through this year. Luckily, Alice has her friends to support her. Even if they are all getting married. If she can just keep her cool, and keep her friends, then she should make it safely through to those cold winter nights and twinkling Christmas lights. A Second Chance Summer, After the Sun are books one and two, while Sticks and Stones, Lighting the Sky and Something About the Stars continue this wonderful, witty and warm series. Book seven is underway! "After the end of book two, I couldn't wait for this title, to find out what would become of Alice, and all the other characters. Katharine writes in a way that makes it easy to get caught up in the narrative, and care about the characters. Without giving anything away - I was delighted in the ending. But there is a certain character I would have preferred to hear more from. The mark of a good book to me, is when you keep thinking about the characters afterwards, and I am still thinking about them nearly 24 hours after finishing the book." "Another fabulous book in the series! Katharine has such a way in her writing that I can almost smell the sea air, and am at any party that is in the story. I feel I am quite emotionally attached to the characters and have a clear picture of them in my mind. Such a lovely series, and this third book is a lovely continuation to the story; you certainly don't feel the story is being dragged out in any way. A fourth book is a MUST (pretty please!) Would recommend to anyone." "I loved this third book in the Coming Back to Cornwall series. I think it is the best one yet. I was gutted to finish it because I managed to fall head over heels in love with one of the new characters. I just love how real and relatable the author makes her characters. She does not stick to bland, carbon copy, all white, heterosexual lead characters but includes a very realistic mix and gives each the full attention they deserve. I really hope there will be more to come." "This is wonderful!! I've had the great pleasure of reading all 3 books in this series and each one got better. I love the way she makes the characters and places so real, you could almost be there and each person you feel you know personally. I absolutely loved this book and really hope there will be another in this series." Read more

This book covers one case – the story of Gabriel Fernandez – probably the best known victim of child murder by abuse in the US. Don't miss this chance to get to know the boy behind the lurid headlines.Like Baby P in the UK, the torture of the eight-year-old shocked the nation, with many of us also watching the Netflix documentary on the case: The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez, with anger, sadness and frustration, leaving us with as many questions as answers:Why was he taken from his loving home?Why weren't his injuries taken seriously?Who failed him the most?And the question I ask in all my books: "How can we prevent children from being abused to death by their caregivers?"Written from the child’s point of view, this story is not suitable for those under 18 nor those likely to be disturbed by descriptions of child abuse.
