A novel about a woman who jets off to France after her perfect marriage collapses, putting the broken pieces of herself back together while rediscovering her own joie de vivre - a lust for life, art, and steamy sex.

INDUSTRIAL ROOTS is an exceptional collection of domestic vignettes narrated by different female characters. The stories in this book concern mainly the daily experiences of blue-collar life amongst the members of a working class family in Ontario.

Jules Rothová je mladá nadějná novinářka. Když se jí podaří získat práci u Dana Mansfielda, špičkového investigativního reportéra, její první úkol je neobvyklý a přísně tajný: má najít legendární expresionistický obraz, který před více než 75 lety uloupili nacisté a od té doby o něm nikdo neslyšel. Ztracený portrét nádherné a tajuplné ženy touží získat světoznámý návrhář a Danův osobní přítel, kterému už nezbývá mnoho času. Po tomtéž plátně zatím v Evropě pátrá také provokativní galeristka Margaux de Laurentová, bohatá žena bez skrupulí, zvyklá dostat, co si přeje. V cestě jí stojí pouze Jules a její odhodlání.Mladá žena se stále víc zaplétá do mezinárodního uměleckého skandálu a zjišťuje, kolik zrůdností nacisté na poli umění napáchali a že řada z těchto zločinných křivd není dodnes uznána, natož napravena.Strhující děj s prvky thrilleru je založený na historických skutečnostech a dává čtenáři nahlédnout do zákulisních praktik světa umění a nelegálního obchodu s kradenými uměleckými předměty. Žena v ohni vypráví příběh silné ženy, jež stejně jako umělecké dílo dokáže prozářit svým jasem dějiny i lidská srdce.

"Does pain prevent you from living the full and joyous life you want and deserve? If so, you're not alone. Tens of millions of people suffer from acute or chronic pain that decreases their quality of life. Have you seen doctors and other health care professionals looking for answers to alleviate your suffering, with little or no lasting relief? Have you tried to rely on pain-killing drugs or even invasive surgeries without any significant improvement in your levels of pain? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, Dr. Lisa Barr wants to help. In Outsmart Your Pain!, Dr. Barr shares innovative solutions to help you overcome your pain. Dr. Barr's goal in this book is to empower you to focus your energy on the underlying issues that cause pain rather than focusing only on pain as a symptom. Ideally, we all want to live pain free and drug free. Here's what we know; pain is pervasive. It is associated with a wide range of injuries and disease and its impact is tremendous. As a symptom, pain is tricky because it means many different things to different people. Defined as a complex physical and emotional experience, it is true that no two people experience pain in the same way. Neuroscience says we interpret our world through our senses. Yet, interpreting pain is confusing because we feel it in our body yet we cannot see it or touch it. In short, pain is the invisible intersection of the affairs of the heart through our emotions, our mind through our thoughts and beliefs and our body through our posture and physiology. Identifying our physical complaints is just the beginning. To obtain lasting relief of pain, we must take a close look at our lifestyle, posture, diet, environment, relationships and habits. Additionally, we must also assess our emotional investment in pain as well as become clear about our conscious and unconscious thoughts and beliefs about pain. Ultimately, this process opens us up to changing what needs to be changed and this is the key to successful resolution of pain. When seen from this broader perspective, it becomes clear why the answers to pain might not revealed on imaging studies and why some people don't get better with certain treatments"--Amazon.com
