Laura Caldwell Livres

Comme toute citadine branchée qui se respecte, je vais régulièrement chez mon psy. Et figurez-vous qu'il m'a demandé de réfléchir à ce que je voudrais changer dans ma vie en priorité. Exercice pas facile pour moi, car je veux TOUT changer ! Mais surtout : Transformer mon mari en prince charmant - après deux ans de mariage, il est plutôt télé-charentaises, que cadeaux surprise et week-end en amoureux ! Décrocher le poste de directrice dans la boîte où je travaille - donner des ordres, j'adore ça ! Faire disparaître coûte que coûte ma rivale Alexa - ce n'est pas une blonde à forte poitrine qui va me faire de l'ombre ! Tester mon sex-appeal sur Evan, mon collègue un peu trop mignon - il drague toutes mes collègues, alors, pourquoi pas moi ? Mais méfiez-vous de vos vœux... ils pourraient se réaliser !

By all accounts, Jovan Mosley was a good kid. He was working on a way out of his tough Chicago neighborhood and had been accepted at Ohio State University when he was forced to confess to a murder he did not commit. He then spent five years and ten months in jail without a trial. His efforts to exonerate himself got him nowhere until he happened to meet a successful criminal defense lawyer, Catharine O'Daniel. She became convinced of his innocence and took him on as her first pro bono client. Along with Laura Caldwell, she decided to fight to free Jovan. Against enormous odds, they fi-nally won some measure of justice. In this affecting memoir, Caldwell tells the unforgettable story of a breakdown in the criminal justice system and what it took to free an innocent man.

Clothes designer Kyra Felis has never been one to worship celebrities - she'd rather read a good book than a copy of Hello magazine. But when she marries Hollywood man-of-the-moment Declan McKenna, she has no idea of how his notoriety will send her life spinning out of control.

Eine Spirale aus Lügen, Angst und Gewalt reißt sie alle in einen Strudel, aus dem es kein Entkommen gibt.

The choices Casey Evers has made in her twenty-six years aren’t exactly making her happy. In fact, her life is so on course—college, law school, boyfriend, job offer—that it’s actually off. So, before she slides into fourteen-hour days at a Chicago law firm, she heads to Rome and Greece with her two best friends for one last hurrah. The thing is, her best friends haven’t really been all that close to her since she started seeing John two years ago, she hasn’t been all that close to John lately, and she’s awfully partial to Mediterranean men… I rest my head against his shoulder. The scooter starts to fly again, and Rome whizzes by—a myriad of fountains, marble statues, larger-than-life doors with gigantic handles, streets that look like alleys… The rigidity that has settled in my bones and head over the past year seems to thaw a bit. Yet with the thaw comes an army of questions from some unused corner of my brain. What about John? Will you tell him about this little excursion, this man you are hugging? What happens when you get back, when you have to start work, when you can no longer escape the world? I lift my head and let the wind snarl my hair around my face, trying to forget these questions, the ones with rifles in hand that are waiting to fire holes in my flimsy curtain of contentment. Set against the backdrop of sparkling beaches and old-world villages, Burning the Map ignites the fire within us all, to shine in unexpected ways…
