When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us
Summary
How do today's parents cope when the dreams we had for our children clash with reality? What can we do for our 20- and even 30-somethings who can't seem to grow up? Who can we turn to when the kids aren't all right and we, their parents, are frightened, frustrated, resentful, embarrassed, and especially, disappointed? In this groundbreaking book, a social psychologist who's been chronicling the lives of American families for over two decades confronts our deepest concerns when our grown kids have failed to thrive. She listens to a generation that "did everything right" and expected its children to grow into happy, healthy, successful adults. But they haven't, at least not yet - and meanwhile, we're letting their problems threaten our health, marriages, security, freedom, careers, retirement, and other family relationships. With warmth, empathy, and perspective, Dr. Adams offers a positive, life-affirming message to parents who are still trying to "fix" their adult children - Stop! She shows us how to separate from their problems without separating from them, and how to be a positive force in their lives while getting on with our own.

The Dead of Winter
Summary
Much against her better judgement, Rina Martin accepts an invitation to join her protégé, Tim, and his fiancée, Joy, at Aitkensthorpe, a country house with a sinister reputation. Gathered there are a collection of scientists, magicians, and experts in the esoteric; their plan is to reenact an incident from 1872 that left one man dead, another driven half mad, and led a third to become a recluse. Rina is relieved when her friend DI MacGregor comes to rescue her. But then the weather closes in, a blizzard cutting them off from the world outside, and Edwin Holmes, grand old man of psychical research, is found murdered in his bed. Trapped in the house with a killer, Mac and Rina must find the culprit.
