"Case study families are used to highlight challenges adoptive parents are likely to encounter, such as dealing with anger and aggression, understanding sibling issues, managing sexualised behaviour or living with a child who is 'too good'. Detailed explanatory letters addressed to individual families present the material in sensitive, jargon-free ways to help parents make sense of, translate and transform their children's puzzling behavioural communications: 'the language of trauma' learned in their birth families."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description

Rana was on a quest to fulfil his father's vows because he admired him for standing with him through love, suffering, financial turmoil, and adversity. He chose to relocate overseas after becoming engrossed in his career because he promised his father that he would reach heights that no one else could in the legal profession. After overcoming various challenges, he created a strong base in London, and he inexorably worked to fulfil his ambition. Charu's concern and sympathy for Rana were constant, but she chose not to express it to Rana. However, it didn't stop her from keeping track of his achievements and periodically surprising him with a lagniappe. Rachel from London, on the other hand, openly supported Rana with no expectation of recompense. Can Rana achieve his goal of becoming a well-known lawyer while adhering to the promises he made to his father? Can Rana overcome the obstacles and win the love of his life? Does love begin in an instant, flatten over time, and last forever? My Little Princess is a moving narrative set in India and London.

Book Description

Resistance theater in Greece under Nazi occupation was organized by the political and armed wings of the EAM/ELAS resistance movement and operated in the mountains of what was called Free Greece. This work introduces the cultural resistance of over 1000 cultural teams across Greece that mounted over 22,000 performances from 1943-44 and the work of three subsidized troupes that toured the mountain villages and armed camps of Epirus, Thessaly, and western Macedonia. It targets the history of the largest of those troupes and its performances that constitute the largest single source of resistance texts in Free Greece.
