"This is an essential read for anyone interested in working with or wishing to understand the police culture. The nature of police work requires much and can be tremendously impactful on personalities – both individually and collectively. Needing help or not, police officers don’t leave their culture very far or very often. And, if they do, they remain a cautious and vigilant group. The authors have provided a most excellent resource for anyone who intends to be at ease in and among the pride." -- Paul Whitesell, PhD, Former Superintendent, Indiana State Police Department, Board Certified (Diplomate) Forensic Examiner for the American College of Forensic Examiners; Police Psychotherapist"This is an absolutely essential book for anyone who provides mental health care to law enforcement personnel. It is also a great resource for law enforcement leaders, officers, and family members who want to understand mental health issues and psychological treatment in the law enforcement community. This is the single best resource available in this critical field of study, bringing in some of the greatest minds in our nation, along with important lessons and experts from over a decade of war, to assist in healing wounds the pain that are "behind the badge." --Dave Grossman, Lt. Col., USA (retired); Author of On Killing and On Combat"This is a must-read book for anyone who works with police personnel and their families. It is informative, practical, and challenging. This volume will be useful to clinicians who work will all types of stressed populations." --Donald Meichenbaum, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo, Canada; Research Director of the Melissa Institute for Violence prevention, Miami, Florida

'n Erfplaas met 'n befoeterde bestuurder is 'n uitdaging
Ek kom soms aan die einde van ’n boek sonder om die titel werklik te verstaan binne die konteks van die storielyn. Die teenoorgestelde is waar van Zinèt Oosthuizen se nuutste Romanza. Reeds op bladsy 16 lees ek van Karoo-koors, “die Karoomense se vriendelikheid, die liefde vir die area en hulle bereidwilligheid om te help.”
Dariyah verloor haar geliefde oom en haar ma tesame in ’n voertuigongeluk. Sy erf die plaas, Addersholte, in die Noord-Kaap. Daar loop sy haar vas in ’n ongeskikte plaasbestuurder wat ’n vyfjaarkontrak het en geen vriendelikheid teenoor haar openbaar nie. Sou ek een van die elemente van romanses, naamlik konflik, in isolasie moes beoordeel, sou hierdie twee karakters beslis volpunte kry.
Tekens van jaloesie by beide partye, en ’n soen in ’n welkome reënbui, is aanduidend van gevoelens wat vir hulle nuut is. Dit gee ook die versekering dat die konflik uiteindelik bygelê gaan word en die liefde gaan seëvier.
Karoo-koors is in Augustus vanjaar deur Lapa Uitgewers gepubliseer
Daar word dikwels bespiegel oor treffende openingsinne, maar hier lees ek nou vandag ’n slotsin wat vir my besonder treffend is en goeie lig werp op die pad waarlangs die heldin moes loop om heling en liefde te vind. “En vir die eerste keer glo sy werklik dat haar toekoms sterker as haar verlede is.” (p.187)
Isobel Raadt het ’n stem soos die spreekwoordelike engel, en ’n ewe mooi geaardheid, ’n traumatiese gebeurtenis ten spyt. Musiekvervaardiger, Markus Meyer, worstel om te aanvaar dat daar meer steek in sy belangstelling in Isobel as net ’n potensiële kontrak om te skryf en ’n nuwe sanger om te bestuur.
Wanneer jy sing is ’n Romanza in die Inspirasie subgenre. Die uitstaande geestelike boodskap is dat alles wat gebeur deel uitmaak van God se perfekte plan, hoe moeilik dit ook al mag wees. Ook dat dit nodig is om te vergewe en die verlede agter te laat.
Wat ook beïndruk het is hoe skrywer, Louise van der Merwe, die verhoog aan die karakters en hulle gevoelens, eerder as byvoorbeeld die omgewing, oorlaat. Die storie pas gemaklik in die gleuf van geestelike fiksie, hoewel dit natuurlik meer bondig is as ’n vollengte roman.
Emily knows how to capture her audience. Her writing style is a bit different but you enjoy it as you read along further. I do wish there was more to read about Miles’ and Daphne’s love story but I understand that the premise of the book was the story of how they met.
Overall, it was a great book.
'n Erflating neem die vier Calitz-vroue na Maanschijnbaai
Daar is ’n hele rits baie geldige redes waarom ek gesukkel het om my tande te kry in Jo & Sue, en daarna aanvanklik gespook het om ’n duik te begin maak in 635 bladsye. Chanette Paul se vermoë boeiend te skryf is allermins een van daardie redes. Dink eerder: fisio-assistent speel, voltydse versorger, onderbreekte slaap, en algemene onvermoë om te konsentreer. Die Calitz-slette met hulle kru taalgebruik was ook nie ’n goeie aanmoediging nie onder sulke omstandighede nie.
Enkele dae gelede was daar egter ’n deurbraak en daarná was daar nie keer aan nie. Vier uiteenlopende vroue, twee met losse sedes, ’n matriarg wat die spulletjie aanmekaar moet hou, die jongste so lelieblank (letterlik) dat sy ten prooi val van ’n gevaarlike sekte. Dan is daar die manne wat elkeen op sy beurt ’n belangrike rol te spele het in die storielyn.
Casper Calitz, die familiehoof, is vir jare vervreemd van sy nasate, maar laat sy boedel na aan die vier vroue. Dit klink op die oog af na uitkoms vir Jo, wat in groot finansiële verknorsing is, en vir Nan, wat gevra is om voortydig met pensioen te gaan. Totdat hulle Maanschijnbaai toe gaan en die erfposie gade slaan. “’n Kasarm. Uitgestrek. Grotesk. Verwaarloos. En verskriklik turkoois. Dis nou behalwe vir die pers en pienk en lemmetjiegroen deure en vensterrame.” (p.51)
Voeg daarby ’n pienk Cadillac, Hiërofant, Casper se winkel wat kristalle verkoop, ’n uitgebreide boekery en ’n drie-jaar klousule in die testament, en die intrige is groot. Selfs die eksentrieke Gaudi-boustyl word bygesleep om nog verdere kleur te gee. Daar is soveel elemente aan die verhaal, onder andere liefde, erfskandes, bedrog, geweld, en godsdienstige verleiding,
Die Maanschijnbaai-tweeluik is vyftien jaar gelede geskryf en nou hersien. Die nuwe buiteblaaie is besonder treffend en ’n waardevolle toevoeging tot my groeiende versameling van Chanette Paul se boeke.
