ISBN: 1844882462
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
Sophie and Mandy, Anna and Laura - two daughters and two mothers and a story about the bond of motherly love. Sophie is a happy 18-year-old living in London with Anna, her Irish mother. Anna has devoted her life to Sophie. It may be just the two of them - no father nor grandparents, no uncles nor aunts - but Anna has more than enough love to give. Sophie has everything she could ever need. Laura is a not-so-happy artist. She too has a daughter, Mandy. But Laura is haunted by the loss of her first child, Jody. Happy-go-lucky as she is, Mandy lives in Jody's shadow and wonders why her mother can never let go. Both mothers carry secrets in their hearts and cannot forget the day their paths crossed. But a chance discovery is about to bring everything into the open and mothers and daughters, love and lies, past and future, will spectacularly collide . . . Praise for Sinéad Moriarty- 'The inevitable comparison with Marian Keyes are justified and well deserved - Moriarty's characters are likeable, well developed and funny.' Heat 'Well-drawn characters you can't fail to care about and plenty of laughs along the way. Double thumbs up.' Daily Mail 'If standard chick lit is a fast-food burger, then this is a Kobe steak- the same basic ingredients and idea, but delivered to much higher quality and far more satisfying.' thebookbag.co.uk

The Children in Child Health
Author: Julie Spray
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978809328
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Who are the children in child health policy? How do they live and see the world, and why should we know them? A journey into the lives of children coping in a world compromised by poverty and inequality, The Children in Child Health challenges the invisibility of children’s perspectives in health policy and argues that paying attention to what children do is critical for understanding the practical and policy implications of these experiences. In the unique context of indigenous Māori and migrant Pacific children in postcolonial New Zealand, Julie Spray explores the intertwining issues of epidemic disease, malnutrition, stress, violence, self-harm, and death to address the problem of how scholars and policy-makers alike can recognize and respond to children as social actors in their health. The Children in Child Health innovatively combines perspectives from childhood studies, medical anthropology, and public health and policy together with evocative ethnography to show how a deep understanding of children’s worlds can change our approach to their care.
