    Join Deirdre and Tony in their action packed, thrilling adventure as they work to unravel the mystery of the Murder in the E.R. Deirdre sat up on her bed "I would SO love to shave my legs right now, but I'm not supposed to. There's sort of a metal rod going through my leg." Courtney picked up the shave gel and gave it a shake, "Dee, you get way too hung up on rules." Courtney pulled up the sheet, started rubbing on the shave gel and said, "Gee, we could have done a bikini wax too. I wish I had thought of it." Deirdre laughed, "Yeah, like that's ever going to happen." Courtney shaved Deirdre’s legs, rinsing the razor in the plastic hospital water carafe. Just as Courtney finished rubbing Deirdre’s legs with moisturizer, Deirdre saw Courtney's eyes grow wide. And who should walk in but Detective Tony Capella, "Hi, I heard this was a big day and thought I'd…" Tony looked down at Deirdre's freshly shaved legs, which he did not find flabby. No, not flabby at all. "I'm sorry. I should have knocked. I, I should really… I should probably go." Courtney hopped up off the side of the bed, "No, I was just leaving. You should stay." Courtney pushed Tony into a chair. "I'll see you tomorrow Dee. Love ya’.” As Courtney leaned down to give Deirdre a kiss on the forehead, Deirdre whispered, "Thank you Court. You're the best." "Yeah well I um… I just wanted to stop by and see how you were doing." Deirdre struggled between smiling, and looking nonchalant, "That's cool. Did you find out who ran me over? "

    Margaret Combs shows how her Southern Baptist family coped with the lived reality of autism in an era of ignorance and shame, the 1950s through the 1970s, and shares her own tragedy and anguish of being torn between helping her brother and yearning for her own life. Like many siblings of disabled children, young Margaret drives herself to excel in order to make up for her family’s sorrow and ultimately flees her family for what she hopes is a “normal” life.Hazard is also a story of indelible bonds between siblings: the one between Combs and her sister, and the deep and rueful one she has with her disabled brother; how he and she were buddies; and how fervently she wanted to make him whole. Initially fueled by a wish that her brother had never been born, the author eventually arrives in a deeper place of gratitude for this same brother, whom she loves and who loves her in return.

    She'll take you searching for bodies of loved ones - through woodlands, along hedgerows, field-edges, and through plantations - solving time since death, and disposal of remains, from ditches to living rooms. She will give you glimpses of her own history: her loves, her losses, and the narrow little valley in Wales where she first woke up to the wonders of the natural world. Pat will show you how her work with a microscope reveals tell-tale traces of the world around us, and how these have taken suspects of the darkest criminal activities to court.From flowers, fungi, tree trunks to car pedals, walking boots, carpets, and corpses' hair, Traces is a unique book on life, death, and one's indelible link with nature.

    In the span of twelve hours, lives can be lost, life-altering medical treatment decisions made, and dreams fulfilled or irrevocably stolen. In Brown’s skilled hands--as both a dedicated nurse and an insightful chronicler of events--we are given an unprecedented view into the individual struggles as well as the larger truths about medicine in this country, and by shift’s end, we have witnessed something profound about hope and healing and humanity. Every day, Theresa Brown holds patients' lives in her hands. On this day there are four. There is Mr. Hampton, a patient with lymphoma to whom Brown is charged with administering a powerful drug that could cure him--or kill him; Sheila, who may have been dangerously misdiagnosed; Candace, a returning patient who arrives (perhaps advisedly) with her own disinfectant wipes, cleansing rituals, and demands; and Dorothy, who after six weeks in the hospital may finally go home. Prioritizing and ministering to their needs takes the kind of skill, sensitivity, and, yes, humor that enable a nurse to be a patient’s most ardent advocate in a medical system marked by heartbreaking dysfunction as well as miraculous success.

    Fox stunned the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease -- a degenerative neurological condition. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. The worldwide response was staggering. Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis, and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. Now, with the same passion, humor, and energy, that Fox has invested in his dozens of performances over the last 18 years, he tells the story of his life, his career, and his campaign, to find a cure for Parkinson's.Combining his trademark ironic sensibility, and keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life -- from his childhood in a small town in western Canada, to his meteoric rise in film and television which made him a worldwide celebrity. Most importantly however, he writes of the last 10 years, during which -- with the unswerving support of his wife, family, and friends -- he has dealt with his illness. He talks about what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, and the opportunity to help search for a cure, and spread public awareness of the disease. He is a very lucky man, indeed.
