The Secret Orphan Glynis Peters Books Reviews


  • the book could have undergone at least one more edit, assuming it had already had at least one. Misplaced modifiers galore. Missing punctuation. Transitions? Very few. I could go on. At the end I wondered whether this line of books is supposed to read like the Reader's Digest Condensed version. Or, as I suspect, editors don't edit anymore. The 4 stars are for storyline.
  • The Secret Orphan is by Glynis Peters. This book is set in England beginning in 1940 during World War II. It also skips to the present, nearly sixty years later, where a woman is dying and she begins to relive her life.
    Elenor was summoned to her Aunt’s home and reluctantly went. At least she was getting away from being a slave to her brothers. The only affection she had had was when her Mother was alive. Their Dad had a very stubborn opinion that women were only there to take care of their man. Therefore, it was her responsibility to take care of him and her twin brothers. When he died, things just became more difficult for Elenor. Then, their Aunt summoned her to come take care of her. Her brothers simply said goodbye and left it at that. Elenor loved her family farm but knew there was no place for her. At her Aunt’s home, she was expected to take care of her aunt and learn to be a lady. It was difficult for Elenor; but she did her best. Her aunt lived in a house with a housekeeper and her husband and daughter. George, the husband, was a tutor and was gone a lot. Victoria cooked and kept house while raising their daughter, Rose. Other than giving her a place to stay and food to eat, neither paid much attention to Ruth. Ruth and Elenor became good friends as both were lonely. For Rose, Elenor put up with George’s chauvinistic ways. Then, her aunt died leaving Elenor alone. She went back to the family farm for safety and because it was now hers alone since both boys were killed in the war. Can she run the farm by herself?
    Rose was a darling little girl who was very bright and a brilliant pianist, even at five. Her parents gave her food and shelter but didn’t give her love. Victoria was lucky to be able to find a position which allowed her husband and daughter to live with her. Victoria was careful to keep Rose away from the main house when possible. After Elenor left for the farm, Rose and her Mother stayed at the house, keeping it going. George was in London on a trip and died in the Blitz. When bombers flew over Coventry, their house was hit. Rose was found alive in the ruin but Victoria was dead. Where was Rose to go since her family was wiped out. Of course, to Elenor. Can she survive the nightmares of the raid? Will Rose adjust to the country?
    The book is great. It shows clearly the complicated life a woman had during
  • The lack of editing is so bad, it takes what might have been an interesting plot & likeable characters & turns them into annoying exercises in patience. There's a reason it was only 99 cents. If you've got nothing else to read, this might do.
  • The best parts of the story are scenes of everyday life at the worst parts of the war. The number of people it took to work on a farm, raising food not just for themselves but overseen by officials trying to produce for everyone is fascinating. The fact that the healthy young men that would have been doing this work were away at war or dead, so it was done by women. The Wikipedia article on Coventry has some historical background to explain a few things that probably most British know but most Americans don't - and a particular plot point isn't explained in the book.
  • I loved the book. The characters were so real. It was really a good book but I was not happy with the ending, I thought it should of said more. But I still enjoyed it.
  • Interesting story. I think the character development could have been done better. I found the writing stilted and some things went totally without explanation.
    There was a mention by Jackson that he had received a picture of a plane from Rose asking about the plane he flew. Rose said she did not send that. The matter was dropped there rather than used as a hint that Rose's father had ulterior motives.
    Elenor left servants she did not like nor trust in charge of her home and belongings. There had even been evidence that the man had been pilfering her aunts belongings.
    Over and over, situations were presented that nothing came of. Too many loose ends.
  • How i loved this book!! A story of love and compassion. It had humor and the author had a good knowledge of human behavior. The story line kept moving and was hard to put down. Very goid
  • I ound the characters rather weak and although the parts relating to the farming during the war were interesting I think it failed to show how exhausted most of the workers were. What I didn't like was in fact the ending. I would point out that over 20,000 German POW's stayed in the UK after the war along with over 25,000 Italians that even went home and returned with their families. So to imply that Eleanor would have simply lost the child was totally wrong as we know many Jewish children that arrived in the UK were fostered and later adopted without any problems. Nobody would have considered at that time sending any child back to Germany.

A clinical psychologist’s exploration of the modern dilemmas women face in the wake of new motherhood

When Molly Millwood became a mother, she was fully prepared for what she would gain an adorable baby boy; hard-won mothering skills; and a messy, chaotic, beautiful life. But what she did not expect was what she would lose aspects of her identity, a baseline level of happiness, a general sense of wellbeing. And though she had the benefit of a supportive husband during this transition, she also at times resented the fact that the disruption to his life seemed to pale in comparison to hers.

As a clinical psychologist, Molly knew her experience was a normal response to a life-changing event. But without the advantage of such a perspective, many of the patients she treated in her private practice grappled with self-doubt, guilt, and fear, and suffered the dual pain of not only the struggle to adjust but also the overwhelming shame for struggling at all.

In To Have and to Hold, Molly explores the complex terrain of new motherhood, illuminating the ways it affects women psychologically, emotionally, physically, and professionally—as well as how it impacts their partnership. Along with the arrival of a bundle of joy come thorny issues such as self-worth, control, autonomy, and dependency. And for most new mothers, these issues are experienced within the context of an intimate relationship, adding another layer of tension, conflict, and confusion to an already challenging time.

As Molly examines the inextricable link between women’s well-being as new mothers and the well-being of their relationships, she offers guidance to help readers reclaim their identities, overcome their guilt and shame, and repair their relationships. A blend of personal narrative, scientific research, and stories from Molly’s clinical practice, To Have and to Hold provides a much-needed lifeline to new mothers everywhere.

"Beautifully written with compassion and empathy by a psychologist/psychotherapist who is also a wife and mother, this book is a lifeline of support and understanding to all new, and even not so new, mothers who are struggling with the emotional, psychological and physical changes that inevitably occur within themselves and within their partnerships after they become mamas. The message that resonates throughout the pages...you are not alone, and what you are feeling is normal...will be a tonic of relief to so many who are feeling ashamed of their sadness or ambivalence during a time that we are told should be nothing but blissful. You can grieve the loss of your former “self,” dislike how completely disoriented you have become, and adore your baby with your entire being at the same time. The feelings of loss and gain can and should co-exist, and both should be acknowledged as true. There is so much more, moving insights into the communication issues and support struggles of parents/partners traveling through this often difficult territory ... this book is going to be my baby shower gift from now on!"

To Have and to Hold Motherhood Marriage and the Modern Dilemma edition by Molly Millwood Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews


  • This is a very interesting and well-written book. From my vantage point as a grandfather, it's hard to remember how difficult those days with two little kids and working spouse were -- and this book makes it clear that it was probably more difficult for my wife, regardless of how supportive a husband I thought I was. When I see our daughter and son-in-law now being wonderfully patient and loving parents, I appreciate anew how much energy and effort it takes and how it can strain normal relationships. Molly Millwood explains these difficulties from the dual perspective of a mother of two boys as well as of a therapist specializing in working with new parents and couples. This lends valuable insights to her perceptions. While the book focuses on problems in modern marriages with kids, it's by no means a downer, as her basic optimism and cheerfulness shine through. In addition to support, she offers practical coping strategies to new mothers.
    Disclosure I know and admire the family, as Molly's mother and I worked together for many years. They are all to be congratulated on this interesting and engagingly written book.
  • Dr. Molly Millwood has written an important book about the transition to motherhood and the emotional process for women as well as the couple. As a psychotherapist who has worked with postpartum women for over a decade I found Molly's book helpful, insightful and wise. Therapists working with this population will find many clinical truths articulated through out this book about the inner transition to motherhood and the lack of cultural support around this stage of life. New mothers will find this book incredibly validating of their experience. Dr. Millwood's book is an important step in a cultural shift from the isolation of new motherhood and to a broader acceptance and normalizing of the difficulties. To Have and To Hold presents a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the stress on new mothers. Dr. Millwood elegantly weaves clinical experiences, personal experience and research throughout the book which results in an engaging and captivating read. She steers women and couples away from pathologizing the postpartum period toward compassion, acceptance and possibility. Dr. Millwood book moves people away from creating false dichotomies between those who have postpartum depression and those who do not to a more sophisticated understanding of the cultural, personal, relational, historical and biological influences of this transition. I highly recommend this book!
  • Beautifully written with compassion and empathy by a psychologist/psychotherapist who is also a wife and mother, this book is a lifeline of support and understanding to all new, and even not so new, mothers who are struggling with the emotional, psychological and physical changes that inevitably occur within themselves and within their partnerships after they become mamas. The message that resonates throughout the pages...you are not alone, and what you are feeling is normal...will be a tonic of relief to so many who are feeling ashamed of their sadness or ambivalence during a time that we are told should be nothing but blissful.

The feelings of loss and gain can and should co-exist, and both should be acknowledged as true. There is so much more, moving insights into the communication issues and support struggles of parents/partners traveling through this often difficult territory ... this book is going to be my baby shower gift from now on!
  • This book should be on the required reading list for all new mothers and fathers. I wish this book was available to me 13 years ago, when I ventured into motherhood and felt alone and completely off balance. Dr. Millwood’s words ring true today as my husband and I still hit rough waters with our lives and our children, and her chapters on couples and communication have been most appreciated.
    This book is by no means dry information! Dr. Millwood’s stories about herself and her patients have made me laugh out loud, cry, and I find that I am drawn into the next chapter by the first sentences. Before I know it, I’ve finished that chapter when I had meant to put the book down and turn off the light to go to sleep.
    This book brings women (and their partners) together to remind us that we are sailing along on the same boat, in the same vast ocean, we just need to remember to talk to each other. We, as mothers, are by no means alone.
  • It’s hard to even describe how impactful this book has been. As a mother and a clinician with an interest in motherhood and couples, the wisdom in To Have and to Hold, is just what I needed, both personally and professionally. Dr. Millwood has a way of demonstrating a high level of competence, combined with a depth of compassion, sweetness, and humor. You will want to be her friend, her colleague, and/or her client after reading this gem! As another reviewer wrote, I will be gifting this book to other mothers for years to come. Thank you, Dr. Millwood, for your candor and your heart. The people in your world are exceptionally blessed to have you in theirs.
  • Loved this book, written by a scholar, author, and mother who shares her personal experiences in an understandable, readable story of motherhood. Her insightfulness captures your interest because it's relatable. As an adoptive parent, I could connect to many of the experiences put forth in the book. Birth mother or adoptive mother, we share the same stories. Thank you Molly Millwood for sharing your own experiences as well as your patients.
  • I finally felt seen with this book. There are a growing number of books and other forms of media around motherhood, which is great - we're finally being honest with ourselves about how challenging and rewarding this role is. I found this book to be honest and real, but not without a balanced and encouraging approach. I appreciated the insights and analysis - all told through relatable anecdotes from Millwood's experience.

Los Angeles–based sculptor Thomas Houseago (born 1972) is part of a recent generation revisiting modernist sculpture through a contemporary lens, adding an array of nontraditional materials to the standard repertoire and finding new ways to dramatize figuration, often “leaving the seams showing,” so to speak. His often monumental works thus possess a somewhat monstrous character; probably the best-known instance of this is his Baby, which he presented at the 2010 Whitney Biennial, and L'Homme, which debuted at the Venice Biennale in 2011.
Published for his 2019 show at the Musee d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, this book includes an interview between Houseago and Paul McCarthy; a section of plates plus a focus on the two pieces produced for the exhibition in Paris; and texts by David Hockney (on the Leeds-to-Los Angeles trajectory, with which Hockney is himself familiar), Rudi Fuchs (on one artwork), Lorna Simpson and Jan Dibbets.

We should thank a pollinator at every meal. These diminutive creatures fertilize a third of the crops we eat. Yet half of the 2,000 species of pollinators are threatened. Birds, bats, insects, and many other pollinators are disappearing, putting our entire food supply in jeopardy. In North America and Europe, bee populations have already plummeted by more than a third and the population of butterflies has declined 31 percent. 

Protecting Pollinators explores why the statistics have become so dire and how they can be reversed. Jodi Helmer breaks down the latest science on environmental threats and takes listeners inside the most promising conservation initiatives. Efforts include famers reducing pesticides, cities creating butterfly highways, volunteers ripping up invasive plants, gardeners planting native flowers, and citizen scientists monitoring migration. 

Along with inspiring stories of revival and lessons from failed projects, readers will find practical tips to get involved. They will also be reminded of the magic of pollinators - not only the iconic monarch and dainty hummingbird, but the drab hawk moth and homely bats that are just as essential. Without pollinators, the world would be a duller, blander place. Helmer shows how we can make sure they are always fluttering, soaring, and buzzing around us.

Augusta National is golf’s Holy Grail. Navigating the azaleas to play the exclusive course that hosts The Masters is a pipe dream for every golfer. Imagine being afforded the opportunity not only to play the course, but to be able to bring your father along for the ride. To complete the priceless fantasy, Jack Nicklaus—“The Golden Bear”—hosts the round.
Through fate, coincidence and good fortune, Joe Wessel managed to find a way to make that happen. In White Fang and The Golden Bear, Wessel recounts that special round, how it came about, and what happened on the pristine grounds of Augusta National. With the help of veteran sportswriter Bill Chastain, Wessel's memoir offers the touching story of how the game of golf helped in the development of a special father-son bond and how that relationship grew first throughout Wessel’s childhood, then during his tenure as a football player-turned-coach, and finally once he was a dad himself. This book offers the perfect father-son story for any sports aficionado!

After learning that she inherited a BRCA2 genetic mutation that put her at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer, Kim Horner’s doctors urged her to consider having a double mastectomy. But how do you decide whether to have a surgery to remove your breasts to reduce your risk for a disease you don’t have and may never get?

Horner shares her struggle to answer that question in Probably Someday Cancer. The mother of a one-year-old boy, she wanted to do whatever would give her the best odds of being around for her son and protect her from breast cancer, which killed her grandmother and great-grandmother in their 40s. Which would give her the best chance at a long healthy life a double mastectomy or frequent screenings to try to catch any cancer early? The answers weren’t that simple.

Based on extensive research, interviews, and personal experience, Horner writes about how and why she ultimately opted for a double mastectomy—the same decision actress Angelina Jolie made for a similar genetic mutation—and the surprising diagnosis that followed. The book explores difficult truths that get overshadowed by upbeat messages about early detection and survivorship—the fact that screenings can miss cancers and that even early-stage breast cancers can spread and become fatal.

Probably Someday Cancer is about the author’s efforts to push past her fear and anxiety. This book can help anyone facing hereditary risk of breast and ovarian cancer feel less alone and make informed decisions to protect their health and end the devastation that hereditary cancer has caused for generations in so many families.

“Groundbreaking . . . the shocking account of the origins of today's opioid epidemic, the creators of this plague, and the way to help stop it.”—Sam Quinones, author of Dreamland The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic

“Prescient . . . a landmark work of investigative journalism.”—David A. Kessler, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and author of The End of Overeating

Between 1999 and 2017, an estimated 250,000 Americans died from overdoses involving prescription painkillers, a plague ignited by Purdue Pharma’s aggressive marketing of OxyContin. Families, working class and wealthy, have been torn apart, businesses destroyed, and public officials pushed to the brink.

In Pain Killer, Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times reporter Barry Meier exposes the roots of the most pressing health epidemic of the twenty-first century. Powerful narcotic painkillers, or opioids, were once used as drugs of last resort for pain sufferers. Purdue turned OxyContin into a billion-dollar blockbuster by launching an unprecedented marketing campaign claiming that the drug’s long-acting formulation made it safer to use than traditional painkillers for many types of pain. That illusion was quickly shattered as drug abusers learned that crushing an Oxy could release its narcotic payload all at once. Even in its prescribed form, Oxy proved fiercely addictive. As OxyContin’s use and abuse grew, Purdue concealed what it knew from regulators, doctors, and patients.

Here are the people who profited from the crisis and those who paid the price, those who plotted in boardrooms and those who tried to sound alarm bells. A country doctor in rural Virginia, Art Van Zee, took on Purdue and warned officials about OxyContin abuse. An ebullient high school cheerleader, Lindsey Myers, was reduced to stealing from her parents to feed her escalating Oxy habit. A hard-charging DEA official, Laura Nagel, tried to hold Purdue executives to account. The drugmaker’s owners, Raymond and Mortimer Sackler, whose names adorn museums worldwide, made enormous fortunes from the commercial success of OxyContin.

In this updated edition of Pain Killer, Barry Meier breaks new ground in his decades-long investigation into the opioid epidemic. He takes readers inside Purdue to show how long the company withheld information about the abuse of OxyContin and gives a shocking account of the Justice Department’s failure to alter the trajectory of the opioid epidemic and protect thousands of lives. Equal parts crime thriller, medical detective story, and business exposé, Pain Killer is a hard-hitting look at how a supposed wonder drug became the gateway drug to a national tragedy.

"'Pain Killer' is about greed. It's that simple. Without question pharmaceutical companies have improved the quality of life for many people. However, not everything they do or have done can be viewed as spewing out rainbows and sunshine, not by a long shot. Big Pharma are huge corporate entities focused first-and-foremost on maximizing profits and keeping shareholders happy. Concern for people is secondary. While Mr. Meier's investigation focuses on the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma's marketing of OxyContin, the reader might want to keep in mind that the malfeasance described is not a pharmaceutical outlier.

The well-respected New York Times reporter, Mr. Meier, specialized on the intersection between business, medicine, and public health. 'Pain Killer' is a compact 198-page explanation of how the OxyContin drug epidemic unfolded. The very first paragraph in the book took my breath away. It describes a few families' struggles because of OxyContin but focuses mostly on Purdue Pharma and how they marketed a drug knowing full well their little pills were highly addictive and wreaking havoc on communities. The book covers such topics as pill mills, the nature and history of pain, iatrogenic addiction, the pain-management movement, opioids, career bribery, lobbying junkets, the misuse of science, influence-peddling by doctors paid by drug companies, and the FDA's and DEA's actions towards Purdue Pharma. There are everyday heroes in the book who were ringing the bell very early on about what OxyContin was doing to people, but the executives at Purdue Pharma resorted to public-relations efforts, legal manipulations, job offers, and money to keep the OxyContin gravy train rollin' along.

The book is a fast, interesting, very educational read and should have you so upset that you'll be frothing at the mouth while reading it. These unethical executives and the sales representatives are the reason the current heroin epidemic is raging across our country. Will any of them eventually be stripped of their wealth and spend a great deal of time in the hoosegow? Well, let's just say there's a better chance of Janis Joplin going on a comeback tour."

  • Terrifying tale of the cynical capitalist behavior on the part of Perdue Pharma that has created the opioid crisis that has and continues to destroy so many lives in our country and abroad.
  • 2019, opioid crisis Thank You Perdue, not the chicken company Perdue Pharma! Follow this journey through the beginnings of the opioid crisis, who is to blame, could it of been averted? Read this and you will be shocked at the heartlessness of a small corporation and the absolute greed of its family that owns it. Every system failed to stop this over and over again! Deals were made at the expense of the safety of the American public, doctors were mislead. Some doctors aided the crisis under the protection of pain management. This book will have you questioning how our government was protecting us and how many failures were met with greed, and complete misunderstanding of the drugs they were prescribing.
  • The book was interesting but contained same information as other books on the opiate epidemic. I felt other books such as Dopesick were easier to read. This book casts the spotlight on the Sackler family.
  • I heard the author interviewed on NPR and was intrigued, especially about the Sackler family's idea for marketing painkillers. The book is direct and a good read.
  • Couldn’t put it down once started. Read front to back in one sitting. Last chapter reveals obvious frustration of protagonist since first release of this tome.
  • I bought this for a family member. It is in great condition and arrived quickly. Thank you
  • This book highlight all the different areas in the opioid epedemic. The author is very well versed on the topic and write with a huge amount of clarity on the subject. This is a must read for anyone that is a doctor, student, or parent of an addict. Please do not let ignorance on the topic of opioids take you down the dark path of addiction.

From registered nurse and public health advocate Sana Goldberg, RN, a timely, accessible, and comprehensive handbook to navigating common medical situations. From the routine to the unexpected, How to Be a Patient is your ultimate guide to better healthcare.

Did you know that patients have statistically better outcomes when their surgeon is female? That you can mark-up an informed consent sheet before you sign it, or get second opinions on CTs and MRIs? That there’s a blue book for healthcare procedures, or an algorithm to decide between ER, Urgent Care, and waiting-until-Monday?

In How to Be a Patient, nurse and public health advocate Sana Goldberg walks readers through the complicated and uncertain medical landscape, illuminating a path to better care.

Warm and disarmingly honest, Goldberg’s advice is as expert as it is accessible. In the face of an epidemic of brusque, impersonal care she empowers readers with the information and tools to come to good decisions with their providers and sidestep the challenging realities of modern medicine.

With sections like When All is Well, When It’s An Emergency, When It’s Your Person, and When You Have to Stand Up to the Industry, along with appendices to help track family history, avoid pointless medical tests, and choose when and where to undergo a procedure, How to Be a Patient is an invaluable and essential guide for a new generation of patients.
