The Water Garden is about family secrets, guilt and redemption. It tells the story of a 30-year old full-time mother who becomes attracted to a troubled teenage boy.The novel looks at the challenges of balancing a woman's loyalty towards, and love for, her family, with her loyalty to herself. It considers motherhood in a unique way, exploring it in extreme circumstances: there are few stories about relationships between wives/mothers and teenage boys. The story is sometimes uncomfortable to read - and is meant to be, challenging social norms and expectations.Sarah has given up her career and moved to the countryside to bring up her two young children, while her husband works long hours in London. Alone, she explores the fields and the woods near her home and discovers a lake, a memorial bench for a boy who drowned in mysterious circumstances, and Finn, a beautiful troubled teenager who plays truant from school. As Sarah pieces the mystery together, an uncomfortable attraction between her and Finn builds. She knows that this blossoming relationship is wrong but the chemistry between them is difficult to resist. Their relationship reaches a climax over one hot summer, threatening to destroy everything that she holds dear. Woven into Sarah's story are the voices of two other women connected to her family - Maggie, the RAF nurse and Flavia, the Italian girl. As their stories unfold, a secret is revealed, binding Sarah and Finn in a way that they would never guess.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or Overlap syndrome has been shown to occur anywhere between 1-40% in population and clinic studies. Subjects with overlap syndrome are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality than subjects with either condition alone. It has been hypothesized that hypoxic induced inflammation occurs in both conditions however research is limited as to the relationship between OSA and subclinical cardiovascular disease and the affect COPD has on this relationship. Several studies have looked at the association between OSA and COPD with conflicting results. A limitation to this research is defining COPD strictly by pulmonary function. Additionally there is inadequate research evaluating the relationship between OSA and subclinical atherosclerosis specifically examining the influence of various pulmonary abnormalities. The overall goal of the proposed research is to explore the pathway between OSA and subclinical atherosclerosis with measures of calcification from coronary and thoracic arteries and determine if these relationships are altered by pulmonary abnormalities. In addition, we evaluated the validity of self-reported OSA and the utility of Berlin sleep questionnaire in a COPD population. Multivariable regression analyses were utilized to evaluate these relationships. OSA was found to not be related to pulmonary function reduction (GOLD stages 2-4) or Emphysema however, there was a significant relationship with chronic bronchitis. In evaluating the association of OSA with calcification measures, we found a significant upward trend of prevalent OSA by increased severity of CAC (p
