The orphan girl : a novel / by Palka, Kurt,1941-author.;
"London, 1944-1945. Kate Henderson is an energetic and spirited young woman. As a trained paramedic and ambulance driver she does her work courageously and with determination, even though underneath she is still wrestling with grief after witnessing the shooting death of her diplomat father seven years earlier. Her father's murder was never properly investigated and it remains unsolved. Kate's life is drastically interrupted once more when she wakes up one night to the sound of the air raid alarm and the terror whistles of a bomb's stabilizers screaming toward the roof of her house. In the explosion, her mother and her aunt die; Kate survives, but she is injured. Her house is gone as well, and after her time in the hospital, Claire Giroux, a kind doctor and family friend, invites Kate to live with her as she recuperates. This arrangement works well for them until a few months later when Claire's husband comes home from the war. Within days the lives of both women are drastically changed, and events are set in motion, both in England and in Canada, that challenge Kate and Claire to their limits.

Adele [videorecording] : the story so far / by Adele,1988-performer.; MVD Visual (Firm),publisher.;
Adele.They say a woman will never tell you her true age, but if the woman in question is Adele, there's little doubt in the minds of most of us, as her every multi-million selling album advertises such personal details to half the world. And while, thankfully, the number in question still reveals tender years, the smart money says this remarkable singer, performer and composer may well reverse this trend before she gets too much older. But with album three ready to drop and early signals suggesting it'll be another collection at least as strong as anything she has yet produced, 25 may well be Adele's best record yet. This two disc collection, featuring a DVD film, which explores the life and work of Adele to date, and a disc full of interviews with the girl herself, both of which celebrate and document this talented young woman's artistry, is certain to become a must-have item and take a starring role in every Adele collection in existence.E.DVD; stereo ; full screen presentation.

Me, but better : the science and promise of personality change / by Khazan, Olga,1986-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In the vein of 10% Happier and Year of Yes, The Atlantic journalist Olga Khazan embarks on a year-long experimental romp through the riveting, emerging scientific field of personality change. For years, Olga Khazan had been spiraling toward an existential crisis. Though she treasured her loving long-term relationship and her dream job, she often caught herself snatching dissatisfaction from the jaws of happiness. Her anxious and neurotic overachieving had always been a professional asset, but lately, Olga felt that her brittle disposition would shatter at any moment under the weight of just one more thing. She knew something had to give -- but was it really possible to do something as radical as change her personality? In Me, But Better, Olga embarks on a year-long experiment to see if it's truly possible to change your personality, sample size: one. Scientifically, personality consists of five sliding-scale traits: extroversion, or how sociable you are; conscientiousness, or how self-disciplined and organized you are; agreeableness, or how warm and empathetic you are; openness, or how receptive you are to new ideas and activities; and neuroticism, or how depressed or anxious you are. But research shows that you can alter these traits by consistently behaving in ways that align with the kind of person you'd like to be. And that, in turn, can actually make you happier, healthier, and more successful. So, for a year, Olga decides to fake it until she makes it. She reluctantly clicks 'yes' on a bucket list of new experiences, from meditation to improv to sailing, that will force her to at least act happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, in the hope she might actually become those things. With a skeptic's eye, Olga brings readers on her personal journey through the science of personality, presenting evidence-backed techniques to change our minds for the better. Deeply reflective and sharply witty, ME, But Better is a probing inquiry into what it means to live a fulfilling life, and how we can keep diving into change, even against our better judgment"--
