A commitment to love everlasting can lead to sacrifice, lies, and pain. Teenager Sarah Hillock has decided that death is a better alternative than life. Psychologist, Allyson Freemont, and Detective Ernie Blackwell work to figure out why. Sarah's father, Alex Hillock, disappeared nine years ago. Sarah's mother, Grace Hillock, refuses to believe he abandoned his family; she refuses to believe he is deceased. Grace Hillock believes in love everlasting. Sarah is unsure what to believe. Working with Sarah through her suicide attempt, Dr. Allyson Freemont unveils the intricacies of Grace Hillock's limited mental capacity, a child with a neurological disorder, and a girl who is so overwhelmed by life that death seems like a good choice. Allyson Freemont begins to untangle a web of love and lies. She begins to understand the reason behind the disappearance of Sarah's father, Alex Hillock.

Guilty or innocent? How to decide the fate of a child charged with murder? Angelo Cavelli has snapped. In a fit of rage the boy murdered Faith Griffin, the media specialist at his school-of this there is no doubt. Was it deliberate? Should he be charged as an adult? What of the suffering of the other victims-Faith's husband, Faith's coworkers, Faith's students? What has pushed a child so young to become so violent? Psychologist, Allyson Freemont and Detective Ernie Blackwell work to piece together the sad aspects of this boy's life. Their impatience mounts when they realize signs of problems have been denied or minimized for years by family members. Frustration grows as they work through the bureaucracy of three systems-education, mental health and law enforcement-and anger with the knowledge that all have failed to help this child. Their emotions are compromised when the boy they are trying to help refuses to help himself as he continues down a path of self-destruction. Charged with murder, Angelo Cavelli may be tried as an adult and spend the rest of his life in prison.

Critical introductions to a range of literary topics and genres. This book explores the world in which Chaucer wrote; it offers opportunities for comparison between his work and that of his near contemporaries; and discusses stylistic variations to be found between Chaucer and other writers, and within Chaucer's own texts.

Over the last few decades, literary criticism has come increasingly to consider its relation to politics, socio-economics, gender, psychoanalysis, language and cultural values. Chaucer's most popular and widely-studied work, The Canterbury Tales, boasts a body of criticism which well reflects the diversity of scholarly readings, from the New Critical to the postmodern. The essays gathered here offer the student some of the best and most provocative readings of the Tales as well as a wide range of critical approaches. The editors' introduction outlines these developing schools of Chaucerian criticism against the background of the history of literary criticism itself, giving students an illuminating context in which to assess the complex and rewarding work of this great poet.
