become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim
herself, Salander is now ready to fight back. |

Secrets of
the Baby Whisperer
By Tracy Hogg, Melinda Blau
When Tracy Hogg's "Secrets of the
Baby Whisperer was first published, it soared onto
bestseller lists across the country. Parents
everywhere became "whisperers" to their newborns,
amazed that they could actually communicate with
their baby within weeks of their child's birth.
Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a
miracle: the ability to understand their baby's
every coo and cry so that they could tell
immediately if the baby was hungry, tired, in real
distress, or just in need of a little TLC. Tracy
also dispelled the insidious myth that parents must
go sleepless for the first year of a baby's
life-because a happy baby sleeps through the night.
Now you too can benefit from Tracy's more than
twenty years' experience. |
