After two years, the women were tired of city living. They quit the force and moved to Charlestown, Pennsylvania, where they built a log home and hung out their shingle as private investigators. In this first book of the series Partners, they take a case they feel will be a cinch to solve, before embarking on a much-needed vacation. But the case turns out to be much more than they bargained for! Graham McHenry hires Frankie and Johanna to follow his beautiful, much younger wife Cassandra, whom he believes is having an affair. They find the information their client is seeking, but the next morning they learn the woman has been murdered. The time of death places Cassandra at a motel, at the same time they had been following her to her mansion. Now McHenry wants to know who killed his wife, and Frankie and Johanna are determined to find out who they were tailing! PARTNERS: THE OTHER WOMAN: Private Investigators Johanna Obrien and Frankie Barker are planning a vacation with Johanna's visiting mother, Gracelyn, when a former lover of Johanna's shows up demanding that Johanna take her case. Gretchen Wyler is heavily involved in an investment scam which implicates Johanna and could destroy her life. The partners hatch a plan to trap Gretchen but Frankie’s jealousy mounts when Gretchen puts the moves on Johanna. Meanwhile, Johanna must come to terms with the demons from her past and a secret she has kept from Frankie for all these years. A secret that could ruin their relationship forever. Look for book three in the series, PARTNERS: BLINDED BY THE TREES, available December 2011!
Book Synopsis The Myth of the Wrong Body by : Miquel Misse
Download or read book The Myth of the Wrong Body written by Miquel Misse and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most popular narrative about transsexuality suggests that some people are born in the wrong body – that their bodies do not correspond to their inner experience and that their bodies should therefore be transformed. But in the view of the sociologist and trans activist Miguel Missé, this narrative is a harmful myth. It is rooted in a medical paradigm that typically leads to medical intervention – to the use of hormones and surgical operations. By proposing a particular solution (modifying one’s body), doctors and psychiatrists make it difficult for trans people to overcome malaise about their body in other ways and prevent them from recognizing the burden of social norms. Drawing on his own personal experience, Missé makes the case for a different way of thinking about trans embodiment which focuses on gender identity. The trajectory that leads people to become trans is shaped by the rigidity of gender norms, where the only two models available to individuals are the masculine man and the feminine woman. But these are not the only possible choices, and by critically interrogating the rigidity of gender norms, Missé opens up a different way of thinking about being trans, beyond the essentialism of the medical paradigm.

Book Synopsis Waking up in the Wrong Body by : Tommy Gilbert
Download or read book Waking up in the Wrong Body written by Tommy Gilbert and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am writing this book to clear up a few misunderstandings and wrong beliefs about the dual sexuality beings' community (which you call the gay community). And that is, it is not their personal choice to be different, it is just who they are. Secondly, dual sexuality beings are born with an unknown but coming disorder which is called the dual sexuality genetic disorder. Third and most importantly, this book is also a wakeup call to all people, both heterosexual and dual sexuality people, to open their minds to new and different ideas; to get out of the old negative ways of thinking that you have been taught through your life, so that you can free your spirit, My main subject in this book is talking about the dual sexuality beings community. The most important message to be found is that we need to love and respect each other as human beings and learn to respect each other because God created us different, not to despise each other but to love each other.

Book excerpt: “Deliciously macabre and utterly decadent.” —Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Stalking Jack the Ripper In this dark and twisty feminist historical mystery, a teenage girl starts a new life as a grave robber but quickly becomes entangled in a murderer's plans. Soon after her best friend Kitty mysteriously dies, orphaned seventeen-year-old Molly Green is sent away to live with her "aunt." With no relations that she knows of, Molly assumes she has been sold as a maid for the price of an extra donation in the church orphanage's coffers. Such a thing is not unheard of. There are only so many options for an unmarried girl in 1850s Philadelphia. Only, when Molly arrives, she discovers her aunt is very much real, exceedingly wealthy, and with secrets of her own. Secrets and wealth she intends to share—for a price. Molly's estranged aunt Ava, has built her empire by robbing graves and selling the corpses to medical students who need bodies to practice surgical procedures. And she wants Molly to help her procure the corpses. As Molly learns her aunt's trade in the dead of night and explores the mansion by day, she is both horrified and deeply intrigued by the anatomy lessons held at the old church on her aunt's property. Enigmatic Doctor LaValle's lessons are a heady mixture of knowledge and power and Molly has never wanted anything more than to join his male-only group of students. But the cost of inclusion is steep and with a murderer loose in the city, the pursuit of power and opportunity becomes a deadly dance.

Download or read book Trans written by Juliet Jacques and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 2012, aged thirty, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery-a process she chronicled with unflinching honesty in a serialised national newspaper column. Trans tells of her life to the present moment: a story of growing up, of defining yourself, and of the rapidly changing world of gender politics. Fresh from university, eager to escape a dead-end job and launch a career as a writer, she navigates the treacherous waters of a world where, even in the liberal and feminist media, transgender identities go unacknowledged, misunderstood or worse. Revealing, honest,humorous, and self-deprecating, Trans includes an epilogue with Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?
Book Synopsis Commodifying Bodies by : Nancy Scheper-Hughes
Download or read book Commodifying Bodies written by Nancy Scheper-Hughes and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly the body is a possession that does not belong to us. It is bought and sold, bartered and stolen, marketed wholesale or in parts. The professions - especially reproductive medicine, transplant surgery, and bioethics but also journalism and other cultural specialists - have been pliant partners in this accelerating commodification of live and dead human organisms. Under the guise of healing or research, they have contributed to a new ′ethic of parts′ for which the divisible body is severed from the self, torn from the social fabric, and thrust into commercial transactions -- as organs, secretions, reproductive capacities, and tissues -- responding to the dictates of an incipiently global marketplace. Breaking with established approaches which prioritize the body as ′text′, the chapters in this book examine not only images of the body-turned-merchandise but actually existing organisms considered at once as material entities, semi-magical tokens, symbolic vectors and founts of lived experience. The topics covered range from the cultural disposal and media treatment of corpses, the biopolitics of cells, sperm banks and eugenics, to the international trafficking of kidneys, the development of ′transplant tourism′, to the idioms of corporeal exploitation among prizefighters as a limiting case of fleshly commodity. This insightful and arresting volume combines perspectives from anthropology, law, medicine, and sociology to offer compelling analyses of the concrete ways in which the body is made into a commodity and how its marketization in turn remakes social relations and cultural meanings.
Book Synopsis Breaking Free by : Joelle Circé Laramée
Download or read book Breaking Free written by Joelle Circé Laramée and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circé (pronounced seer-say) is how Joelle Circé Laramée prefers to be addressed regarding her art. She is a queer feminist, an atheist, and a woman of transexual origin. Breaking Free, 45 years in the wrong body, is more than a memoir. It is a window to the artist's soul, with many raw and honest stories describing her journey towards womanhood. Circé has written a marvellous memoir, sharing her many life experiences all while in the wrong body for the first forty-five years of her existence. "If my memoir can help alleviate even a small amount of stress and anxiety for someone who is presently going through a similar ordeal, I will have succeeded as a storyteller. My greatest wish is that someone going through the same feelings of dysphoria will read Breaking Free, and not feel so terribly alone."

Book excerpt: Juggling a family and a career has never been easy for Cochise County Sheriff Joanna Brady. Now the impending birth of her second child only adds to her burden, especially when two brutal crimes fall under her jurisdiction. A corpse is discovered in the Arizona desert with the fingers severed from both hands—the body of an ex-con who served twenty years for a murder he claimed not to remember. Soon after, one of Joanna's female officers is savagely assaulted and left for dead while on an unauthorized stakeout. Since the victim is one of their own, the department directs the bulk of its resources toward finding her attacker. But the desert slaying haunts Joanna as well, and neither her pregnancy nor family concerns will keep her from doing her duty, no matter how perilous. Because justice must be served. And enforcing the law has become more than what Joanna Brady does—it's what she is.
