Set in the 1960's, Driving In the Dark is a memoir about young Mary Zoe's desperate struggle to escape her charismatic but abusive mother, Zodie. Trapped in her mother's horrifying world or addictions, violence and delusional fantasies and abandoned by social services, 11 year old Mary Zoe sets out to find a home with a family who will give her the love and security she so desperately needs - but her mother has a different end in mind.

"Mark and Jennair Gerardot had been married nearly 25 years when Mark met someone who changed everything he had known about love. When what had begun as a harmless flirtation blossomed into a passionate love affair, Mark confessed his infidelity and began taking the painful steps toward what he thought was an amicable but long-overdue divorce. What he didn't realize, however, was that Jennair was taking steps of her own--steps that would end with both women dead and Mark a prime suspect in their murder."--

Sometimes they really are out to get you. If you've been the target of group bullying in your workplace, school, church or community, you are not alone. Mobbing is a patterned and predictable form of group aggression that happens when someone in a position of leadership sets out to eliminate someone and persuades the rest of the group to go along. In Mobbed! What to Do When They Really Are Out to Get You, anthropologist Janice Harper explains how and why mobbing happens and suggests steps you can take to protect yourself once it's underway. Drawing on research in animal behavior, group psychology, gossip and false memory, Dr. Harper demonstrates how current approaches to eradicating "bullies" in the workplace are more likely to backfire than help the mobbing target. In this book, she presents an entirely new way to understand collective human aggression and heal from its devastating impacts.
