Cut - Cathy Glass - Coping with Problems & Illness
In her latest paperback, the no.1 bestselling author of Damaged tells the story of the Dawn, a sweet and seemingly well-balanced girl whose outward appearance masks a traumatic childhood of suffering at the hands of the very people who should have cared for her. Dawn was the first girl Cathy Glass ever fostered. Sweet and seemingly well balanced girl, Dawn's outward appearance masked a traumatic childhood so awful, that even she could not remember it. During the first night, Cathy awoke to see Dawn looming above Cathy's baby's cot, her eyes staring and blank. She sleepwalks -- which Cathy learns is often a manifestation in disturbed children. It becomes a regular and frightening occurrence, and Cathy is horrified to find Dawn lighting a match whilst mumbling it's not my fault in her sleep one night. Cathy discovers Dawn is playing truant from school, and struggling to make friends. More worryingly she finds her room empty one night, and her pillow covered in blood. Dawn has been self-harming in order to release the pain of her past. When Dawn attempts suicide, Cathy realises that she needs more help than she can give.Dawn's mother eventually confides in her that Dawn was sent away to live with relatives in Ireland between the ages of 5 and 9, and Cathy soon realises that the horrors Dawn was exposed to during this time have left her a very disturbed little girl.

Violets & Vines - Deborah Marshall - Self Improvement: General
Violets & Vines has been written alongside Deborah's evolving relationship with God, and a growing understanding that though the situations written about are not always considered extreme, they are more common than realised. The love she found with God through her faith was the impetus to assist her in moving forward, gaining strength, finding her self-esteem and regaining her confidence, allowing the real her to flourish from a shrinking violet into a fruitful vine. After a 20-year marriage to an emotionally controlling man, almost all aspects of her mental identity had become suppressed as she resolved to live within herself. Being a mother had allowed her to hold on to some self-worth, but she often fell into states of depression and anxiety about the future. Then, at the age of 40, and having felt unloved, manipulated and taken for granted for many years, she learned of her husband's infidelity with a close, family friend, and the final straw snapped. At the same time, she discovered the power in God's love, and that He not only knew her, but He had been waiting to give her the help and strength she would need to re-discover herself. Violet & Vines is a step-by-step analogy of maintaining and tending a garden. Each chapter takes the reader through the differing needs to keep their life garden vibrant and colourful, and demonstrates how, although things are not always easy and take great courage, brutal decisions are sometimes essential in order to restore sanity and self-belief. Deborah had no confidence when she walked away from her first marriage, but she believes that by adhering to regular maintenance of her life garden, she draws strength and understanding of herself, which enables her to overcome any situation that confronts her. Violets & Vines is a self-help book that will appeal to anyone who is seeking encouragement and guidance. The maintenance process will inspire the reader, regardless of belief or openness to faith. All monies raised from the sale of Violets & Vines will be donated to Christians Against Poverty.
