To most of us, our hair is a very important expression of our uniqueness and when our hair is looking its best; we can’t help but to feel good too. Believe it or not as basic as hair care is to do, there are right and wrong ways to do it. Many times it is not even the products that you use at home, but how they are being used. When caring ‘right’ for our hair, it takes no longer than the time you took when doing it the wrong way! Proper organic hair care only takes the knowledge of the right steps for the hair of health and beauty.

The basic steps for shampooing starts with making sure you are using the correct type of shampoo. The right shampoo has more to do with whether your hair is oily, dry, and normal, permed, colored, straitened or even has issues with dandruff. Just make sure not to use too much shampoo, when you wash or to not over shampoo are both very important points to follow. The proper amount to use when washing depends on the length of your hair.

If your hair is shorter than chin length, then a nickel size (1.5 cm circle) is a good amount to wash with, but with longer hair past your shoulders calls for a half dollar size (4 cm circle). Shampoo should be rubbed in hands first and then applied to scalp for even distribution. Shampooing until a good lather arises and then rinse out all shampoo thoroughly until the water runs clear. By running your fingers through while rinsing does the best job in clearing all of the shampoo out of your hair.

Just as picking the right type of shampoo, the right type of herbal hair conditioner is too very important. The type of conditioner can be chosen by a couple of different factors depending on the hair being porous or resistant. Porous hair will need a conditioner that provides more moisturizers. The hair is resistant if it already does well holding in moister. It is then that a lighter conditioner would be better fitting.

The conditioner amount again depends on the length of your hair. Apply and massage the conditioner the same as shampooing was done. If you choose, combing the conditioner throughout the hair distributes the conditioner the best. The conditioner time to leave on can be anywhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes depending on the conditioner directions. As the shampoo rinsing, it is very important to completely rinse all of the conditioner out.

A rookie paramedic pulls a young woman alive from her totaled car, a first rescue that begins a lifelong tangle of love and wreckage. Sheila Arsenault is a gorgeous enigma–streetwise and tough-talking, with haunted eyes, fierce desires, and a never-look-back determination. Peter Webster, as straight an arrow as they come, falls for her instantly and entirely. Soon Sheila and Peter are embroiled in an intense love affair, married, and parents to a baby daughter. Like the crash that brought them together, it all happened so fast.

Can you ever really save another person? Eighteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering dangerously off track, and for the first time in their ordered existence together, Webster fears for her future. His work shows him daily every danger the world contains, how wrong everything can go in a second. All the love a father can give a daughter is suddenly not enough.

Sheila’s sudden return may be a godsend–or it may be exactly the wrong moment for a lifetime of questions and anger and longing to surface anew. What tore a young family apart? Is there even worse damage ahead? The questions lifted up in Anita Shreve’s utterly enthralling new novel are deep and lasting, and this is a novel that could only have been written by a master of the human heart.

From Publishers WeeklyIn Shreve’s smooth if unsurprising latest (after A Change in Altitude), EMT Peter Webster is drawn to a woman he rescues at the scene of a one-car drunk driving accident. Webster is well intentioned, but alcoholic Sheila, with her dangerous history, could prove beyond his efforts to save her, though the two embark on an affair that evolves into marriage and parenthood with the birth of their daughter, Rowan. Sheila’s drinking, meanwhile, escalates until she causes another accident, this time with young Rowan in the car, causing Webster to send Sheila away to avoid jail time. Years later, with not a word from long-gone Sheila, Rowan is a typically turmoil-ridden high school senior–moody, her grades slipping, drinking–and her tribulations prompt Webster to reach out to Sheila to help his daughter. Webster and Sheila are more type than character–good-hearted man, damaged woman incapable of love–and the paramedic rescue scenes feel mostly like opportunities for Shreve to show off her research. Still, the story runs like a well-oiled machine and should sate the author’s fans. (Nov.) (c)

From BooklistParamedic Pete Webster is worried sick about his daughter, Rowan, a high-school senior whom he has raised single-handedly ever since she was two. Rowan has adopted very untypical behavior, ignoring her studies and drinking heavily. It brings back bad memories of his ex-wife, Sheila. He pulled her from a car wreck while on the job and soon fell madly in love with her both for her beauty and her irreverent sense of humor. When she became pregnant, he married her though he was only 21. They were very happy until Sheila began drinking all day, every day. Now Pete is worried that their daughter believes she is doomed to repeat her mother’s mistakes; he decides to contact Sheila, whom he has not seen or heard from for 16 years. The prolific Shreve brings her customary care to this thoroughly absorbing, perfectly paced domestic drama. Alternating between the life-and-death scenarios Pete encounters on the job and the fraught family tension between father and daughter, Shreve pulls readers right into her story. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Since 2001, Shreve’s books have spent more than 100 weeks on the New York Times best-seller lists; her sixteenth novel will no doubt follow suit. –Joanne Wilkinson

Review”From its opening car crash, ‘Rescue’ is worth the ride….No one can create the beginning of a complex relationship like Shreve….Shreve gets deep inside these characters, and her insights draw us into their lives…. A story of hope and fear, of promises made and broken…. Shreve creates a little world, peoples it with believable characters, and puts them through agonizing and joyful moments without a false note or a dissonant figure of speech.” (Washington Post Brigitte Weeks )

“A paramedic and the troubled young beauty he saves propel Shreve’s engrossing latest…With the insistent thrum of life-and-death EMT calls as background, Shreve’s vividly told tale captures the deep-seated fears of mortality and loneliness that can drive us to test the bounds of family and forgiveness.” (People Joanna Powell )

“Rescue is Shreve at her best….Shreve knows love may be intense, life-changing and passionate, but it is never enough. Her characters bruise each other as much as they comfort each other….”Rescue” is full of themes Shreve loves: How a moment can change a life; loss and love; forgiveness and pain.” (Associated Press Mary Foster )

“Compelling…. Fans of Anita Shreve will likely devour this new novel.” (Entertainment Weekly Sara Vilkomerson )

“A thoroughly absorbing, perfectly paced domestic drama. Alternating between life-and-death scenarios Pete encounters on the job and the fraught family tension between father and daughter, Shreve pulls readers right into her story.” (Booklist Joanne Wilkinson )

Good but…
By Eclectic Booklover
As Rescue begins, Peter Webster, a paramedic in Vermont, is living with his seventeen year old daughter Rowan. Webster, is concerned about his daughter, her grades are slipping, she’s drinking, rebellious, angry and distant. She has not been accepted into the college of her choice, Middlebury. Webster is reminded of earlier days when he met Rowan’s mother.

Eighteen years earlier when Webster was a new EMT, one of his first assignments was responding to a one-car accident involving a young woman, Sheila Arsenault. Sheila had been driving drunk and crashed her car. Hospitalized and in serious condition, she recovers from the accident, but doesn’t seem to learn her lesson about drinking. Webster can’t seem to stop thinking about Sheila, and the two immediately begin a physical relationship. When Sheila quickly becomes pregnant with Rowan, the relationship moves into high gear, even though Sheila has just escaped from an abusive relationship. Webster and Sheila marry, and Rowan is born soon after. Sheila is not prepared for the stresses of motherhood, and she begins sneaking alcohol. When her drinking results in an accident, that could have threatened the life of the couple’s toddler, Sheila is sent away to avoid jail time, and Webster raises his daughter with the help of his parents. A crisis year’s later, sends Webster searching for Sheila.

I was afraid of giving spoilers as I wrote this review, but then realized that the product overview gives away quite a bit of the sparse plot. I thought the title was perfect as Websters job involves “rescues”, and he tries to do the same for the women in his life.

The story was a quick read, and for me there really were not any surprises or plot techniques that made this story anything more than an average read for me. Having read ALL of this author’s works, my favorite books of Shreves are still: Eden Close, Strange Fits of Passion, Resistance, and Testimony. This is one of those books that fans need to experience for themselves and decide. I do hope you like it. (Rating 3.5/5 stars)

Can you save someone else from their demons?
By Mary J. Gramlich
Peter Webster was 21 when he literally saved Sheila Arsenault’s life. His EMT team was responding to the call for medical assistance and they met. While these were less than ideal circumstances a relationship was formed and Sheila grabbed on with both hands to Webster’s lifeline. Webster had the one and only thing Sheila craved – normalcy.

Sheila comes with excessive baggage to the relationship but Webster ignores it all and falls in love despite the huge problems. They have a daughter, Rowan and Webster prays that this will bring Sheila to her senses and have her stop the spiral of destruction she keeps putting herself into. But with all hopes and dreams this one for Webster is short-lived and he takes the matter of caring for his daughter in his own hands. Sheila cannot be a mother and a drunk and when he made her choose it left Webster alone to raise Rowan.

Life seemed ideal until Rowan hit 17 and beyond the regular adolescent angst Rowan turns angry toward him and Webster is powerless to figure out why. He reaches out to Sheila who has been gone for 15 years and the timing could not have been better as Rowan has found herself in a situation even an EMT can’t save her from. Will Sheila being back help or hurt the life Webster has made he doesn’t know but for Rowan any risk is worth taking.

This book is one that forces the reader to do self-examination in that it makes you think “what am I willing to risk for the sake of my child”. More than likely it is everything and we are of course accepting of what the casualties this decision might bring. Anita Shreve always writes thought provoking books but this one hits home because we all at some time have to decide whether we are a help to another

Disappointment
By Bella Lou
I am a big Anita Shreve fan and have read and own all of her books. I anxiously await their arrival. This one I got from the library and have to say I am glad I did not spend money on it. It is a maybe average book with none of what I enjoy and respect about this author. While I have not always loved all of her other books her writing has always captured me. Not this time…and honestly given the “story” the fact it all works out so perfectly is somewhat disappointing but unrealistic. I only gave it 3 stars (instead of 2) as I did feel compelled to finish it.
