Move aside Tiger Mom and forget Helicopter Parenting. Karmickids is the view from the other side of the fence – of laid-back parenting, of giving in to food jags, of making unstructured play time mandatory, and of not bursting a blood vessel when the grades are not what one might want to discuss in public. A roller coaster ride of love, laughter, and a few tears, Manral takes you through the beautiful chaos of the early years of parenthood. Written in a gently humorous style, this home-grown, hit-the-ground-running account of the madness of day-to-day parenting is peppered with anecdotes, reminiscences, a little practical advice and is a non-preachy, hilarious take on raising a spirited child while retaining one’s good spirits through it all.

The bestselling Queen of Suspense delves into a legal battle over the guilt or innocence of a man accused of murdering his wife, while weaving in an eerie, little-understood but documented medical phenomenon—the emergence of a donor's traits and memories in the recipient of a heart transplant. After famous actress Natalie Raines is found in her home, dying from a gunshot wound, police immediately suspect her theatrical agent and jealous soon-to-be-ex-husband, Gregg Aldrich. But no charges are brought against him until two years later, when a career criminal suddenly claims Aldrich had tried to hire him to kill her. The case is a plum assignment for attractive thirty-two-year-old assistant prosecutor Emily Wallace. She spends long hours preparing for the trial, and unaware of a seemingly well-meaning neighbor’s violent past, gives him a key to her home to care for her dog. The high-profile trial makes headlines, threatening to reveal personal matters about Emily, such as the fact that she had a heart transplant—especially when she experiences eerie sentiments that defy all reason and continue even after the jury decides Gregg Aldrich’s fate. But little does she know, now her own life is at risk...
