About the author

Like Miren Lassiter, the heroine of Same River Twice, Janet Poland is a westerner transplanted to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She grew up in California, the great-granddaughter of a Colorado cattle rancher. And like Miren, she worked as a newspaper reporter and editor. Later, Janet published seven parenting books, and now her first mystery novel.

But unlike Miren, she isn't reclusive or burdened with a dark and troubled past. She lives in an 1830s farmhouse with a husband, a Maine Coon cat, and twelve sheep. (Well, the sheep actually live outside.)

Reviews

[MaryKay Keller · Rating 5 out of 5]

As an author, researcher and relationship coach U highly recommend this book. It is a fantastic read for parent's who's child is a little different. If you refer to your child as "too sensitive," "shy" or "fussy" by nature then this book is for you.

The author's describe different sensitivities such as physically sensitive, socially sensitive, emotionally sensitive, etc... each one gives a definition and options for supporting your child in their growth and development.

A great read and will greatly enhance your relationship with your child. A must have for any parenting collection.
