The Second Time Around (Kimani Romance)
Angie Daniels
$4.59

About this product:
The truth would set them free . . .

Brenna Gathers returned to her hometown to help her ailing aunt, hoping to get out of small-town Sheraton Beach, Texas, as soon as she could! Unfortunately, once there she ran into Jabarie Beaumont, the wealthy jerk who'd jilted her at the altar. And the truth was that even though he'd broken her heart years before, she still wanted him.

Jabarie had intended to sleep with Brenna and finally get her out of his system. After all, according to his father, she was nothing but a gold digger. Then Jabarie learned the truth. His father lied to keep him and Brenna apart. Now Jabarie was on a mission to show Brenna the ultimate truth. Love could be even sweeter the second time around.

BOOK
The Second Time Around: Why Some Marriages Fail While Other Succeed
Ellen Maccormack
$3.63

About this product:

I have specialized in providing professional education and therapy to typical stepfamilies since 1981. I am (a) a stepfamily researcher since 1979, (b) a stepgrandson, stepson, ex-stepfather, and stepbrother, and (c) an invited Board member of the Stepfamily Association of America.

Though 'The Second Time Around' offers useful examples of real stepfamily problems, I do not recommend it to anyone considering stepfamily re/marriage or already re/wed. (The '/' notes it may be one partner's first union.)

Neither the step-people interviewed for the book nor the author seem to understand the key points outlined below.

This well-written, well-illustrated book is peppered with vague and occasionally harmful suggestions for co-parents - e.g. '...people need to know how to communicate;' (p. 65); '...be prepared to display the patience of Job' (p. 68); '...you must modify your outward behavior.' (p. 200); '...put your own needs second, and consider those of the
children first'(p. 206). The author doesn't explore why most co-parents would agree with much of their advice, and be unable to follow it effectively because of five core hazards that typical U.S. stepfamilies face:

1) significant (unseen) psychological wounds in co-parents (including ex mates) and some kids. The author briefly acknowledge these' but offers no practical ideas about assessing or reducing them.

2) unawareness of blocked grief in some adults and kids, and what to do about it,

3) personal unawareness and adult ignorance of (a) inner-wound healing, (b) high-nurturance families and relationships, (c) healthy three-level grief, (d) effective communication skills, and (e) stepfamily identity, and what it *means*;

4) needy, love-struck partners choosing the wrong people to re/wed, for the wrong reasons, at the wrong time. The authors do acknowledge this, but offer only superficial suggestions for avoiding it; and...

5) little informed, effective stepfamily help available in most
communities and the media.

BOOK
Second Time Around: Ideas and Recipes For Leftovers
Pamela Le Bailly
$11.59

About this product:
There are no hard and fast rules or measures in this book. Leftovers are just that, sometimes plenty, sometimes a small amount, and the cook reading this will be able to adjust the recipes according to the ingredients to hand. For example, after Roast Chicken for Sunday Lunch the cook will can turn to the Chicken section, and find some inspirations for Monday or Tuesday supper and beyond. Many recipes can be stored in the freezer for a later date. Most recipes have staple ingredients which are usually to be found in the average store cupboard. All are simple and quick to prepare, delicious to eat, and nothing is wasted. Ingredients have been kept deliberately simple, but of course more exotic herbs, spices and flavourings can always be added if desired. At the start of the book there is a list of various items, which enables the cook to deal easily and quickly with leftovers. These ingredients can be kept in the freezer, refrigerator or store cupboard for instant use in the recipes. Leave the "Throw-away" culture behind by using "Second Time Around" to use all those leftovers in delicious meals instead of consigning perfectly good food to the dustbin.

BOOK
The Second Time Around: A Novel
Mary Higgins Clark
$0.01

About this product:
The "Queen of Suspense," Mary Higgins Clark, delivers a gripping tale of deception and tantalizing twists that might have been ripped from today's headlines.

When Nicholas Spencer, the charismatic head of a company that has developed an anticancer vaccine, disappears without a trace, reporter Marcia "Carley" DeCarlo is assigned the story. Word that Spencer, if alive, has made off with huge sums of money -- including the life savings of many employees -- doesn't do much to change Carley's already low opinion of Spencer's wife, Lynn, who is also Carley's stepsister and whom everyone believes is involved. But when Lynn's life is threatened, she asks Carley to help her prove that she wasn't her husband's accomplice. As the facts unfold, however, Carley herself becomes the target of a dangerous, sinister group that will stop at nothing to get what they want.

BOOK
Jumping Rope the Second Time Around
Carlos Coffman
$13.00

About this product:
"Jumping Rope the Second Time Around" is the first book written on the backward twirling style of jump roping. The book was written primarily for a busy adult audience looking for an inexpensive easy to learn and fun alternative exercise program that could be done just about anywhere and at anytime. Unlike jump roping books currently available and targeting the adult audience, "Jumping Rope the Second Time Around" demonstrates how the backward twirling and multidirectional movement techniques are safer for an older audience especially for those who have suffered from repetitive stress injuries to their wrists, or have concerns about stress and impact on their ankles, knees, and lower back. The book also demonstrates how one is able to condition all of the major muscle groups of the upper and lower body by doing exercises such as "biceps curls", "rowing", and "rope walking" - all of which are techniques using the jump rope as the only piece of exercise equipment needed.

To date, all of the books and videos on jump roping for adults teach the same technique used to teach children. Often times little consideration is given to the fact that using a "childhood" technique can be injurious to an adult body which undoubtedly has gone through many physical changes over the years. Briefly, forward twirling and stationary jumping creates premature muscle fatigue as well as impact and stress to the ankles, knees, and lower back. The backward twirling and multidirectional movement techniques virtually eliminate stress to these parts of the body.

Not only does "Jumping Rope the Second Time Around" provide the reader with a safer and more efficient workout, it is also in a user friendly format. It provides the reader with tips on stretching and on ways to reduce stress at work and at home; it provides travel tips for working out while on business travel or vacation, and it contains a letter of commitment, and several workout charts which are duplicated and perforated for easy removal. Perhaps one the most unique features of the book is that it is only 9" x 4" (approximately the size of any airline ticket jacket)and is spiral bound. Thus, the book is just as portable as the jump rope itself. Another feature included in the book are inspirational/motivational quotes from notable people such as Oliver Wendell Holmes, John F. Kennedy, Mohandas Ghandi, Vince Lombardi, and Muhammed Ali.

Without any tricks or gimmicks, "Jumping Rope the Second Time Around" provides the reader with a new look at an old pastime activity.
