WHO CAN YOU TRUST? Christine Greenlow wasn't sure she knew anymore. In just a few days, she'd been abducted from her spoiled-little-rich-girl existence and then rescued—maybe—by a man who might be every bit as dangerous as her kidnappers…. All she really knew about Ryan Mulvaney was that he wasn't the innocent bystander he claimed to be. There was nothing innocent about this man. But he certainly had a way of making high-speed car chases, and even the occasional burst of gunfire, downright exciting…. And maybe, when all this was over—if they were still alive—she's show him a whole different kind of excitement….

We are in the midst of a global refugee crisis. Sixty five million people are fleeing for their lives. The choices are urgent, not just for them but for all of us. What can we possibly do to help? With compassion and clarity, David Miliband shows why we should care and how we can make a difference. He takes us from war zones in the Middle East to peaceful suburbs in America to explain the crisis and show what can be done, not just by governments with the power to change policy but by citizens with the urge to change lives. His innovative and practical call to action shows that the crisis need not overwhelm us. Miliband says this is a fight to uphold the best of human nature in the face of rhetoric and policy that humor the worst. He defends the international order built by western leaders out of the ashes of World War II, but says now is the time for reform. Describing his family story and drawing revealing lessons from his life in politics, David Miliband shows that if we fail refugees, then we betray our own history, values, and interests. The message is simple: rescue refugees and we rescue ourselves.

On 13 March 2017, the Rescue 116 crew of Capt. Dara Fitzpatrick, Capt. Mark Duffy, Paul Ormsby and Ciarán Smith took off from Dublin airport just after 2300 hours for a medical evacuation off the west coast. The first indication of disaster came when the crew failed to answer a radio call at 12.46 a.m. At 02.16 hours, sister helicopter Rescue 118 spotted a casualty and debris in the water. There would be no survivors from R116, and extensive searches failed to locate the bodies of two of the four crew. The crash occurred just six months after the loss of another experienced volunteer, Caitriona Lucas from Doolin Coast Guard in Co Clare; and 18 years after the loss of four Air Corps crew who were returning from a night rescue in thick fog off the south-east coast. In Search and Rescue, Lorna Siggins exposes the shocking systemic flaws that led to these tragic deaths, but also looks at successful rescues where, despite all the odds, the courage and dedication of members of the Irish Coast Guard and the volunteers who work with them have saved countless lives, including the dramatic rescue of paddleboarders Sara Feeney and Ellen Glynn off the coast of Clare in 2020.

In April 2006, an English bulldog was abandoned in a busy parking lot in Victorville, California. Severely malnourished, he roamed the parking lot and dashed between cars in search of food, water, and shade. Eventually saved by a bulldog rescue organization, Tazz was officially adopted in January 2007 and now greets everyone at the front door of his permanent home with a happy dance. Rescued! shares twenty-six heartfelt and compelling stories of rescue and rehabilitation that represent some of the best canine rescue organizations throughout California. These sweet tales of unconditional love and triumph over hardship will not only fill dog lovers with joy, wonder, and sadness, but also with an understanding that adoption can be a compassionate alternative to purchasing a dog from a breeder. From a dachshund who overcomes paralysis to the golden retriever who becomes a record-breaking swimmer, it is evident that in the end, these beautiful animals have guardian angels. All animals deserve love, compassion, and someone special to care for them. The stories in Rescued! joyfully celebrate the successful outcomes of rescued canines who now, thanks to the selfless work of volunteers, can greet visitors at their front doors with their own happy dance.

Shannon Vanderhoff learned early that everything in life is fleeting. That's why she won't let herself get attached to anything. Or anyone. Not the traumatized little boy in her care. And definitely not art therapist Greg Hawkins, who seems as determined to care for her as he is to heal her nephew. Like a character from one of his comic books, Greg has swooped in to their rescue, empowering the child…and loving the woman. But it takes the two of them to turn the boy's life around. And it takes a kid with special powers all his own to create a loving family.
