"Physician, heal thyself," are words Doctor MacKenzie "Mac" Reardon never thought he would hear, although he has seen far too much sickness and death in his thirty years. Possum Holler, West Virginia, has suffered numerous tragedies without a doctor and with a hospital nearly one hundred miles away. The people are poor and backward. At last, one of their own has become a doctor. Doctor Reardon returns to his hometown to find his own heartache might be something no medicine can heal as he struggles with a narrow-minded community, ignorance, a rocky marriage to a city girl, Felicia Chambry Reardon, and an overwhelming attraction to the new school teacher/principal, Sunny Bankston, at the newly established school. Having met Sunny while in his ER rotation at Cook Memorial Hospital when he was an intern and she had been shot in a school violence incident, Mac knows the spirit of the woman, a spirit that is more akin to his than the spirit of the woman he married. Mac struggles against overwhelming odds to bring his community into the twenty-first century even as Sunny Bankston battles her own demons, including an attraction to MacKenzie Reardon.The first installment in the Hillbilly Hijinks series, Homegrown Healer follows MacKenzie Reardon, but his three friends Tipper Campbell, Gator Jones, and Alain Richter stay in stride with him as these four young men determine the future of Possum Holler.

The Life Chances Study examines the life opportunities and life outcomes of a small sample of children in inner city Melbourne, Victoria, looking in particular at the influences of social, economic and environmental factors on children''s lives. This longitudinal study began in 1990 with a group of infants, and is still ongoing today with the participants now aged 21 years old. This report presents an overview of the study and outlines the published findings of each stage. It describes the diverse topics covered over 21 years of research and discusses the policy and practice implications, especially for what makes a difference for the life chances of disadvantaged children.

A study of 161 three-year old children born in two inner-Melbourne suburbs showed that poverty in families is linked with sole parenthood, non-English-speaking background and low employment. The poorer families are more likely to report multiple stresses, little help from friends, relatives or the child''s father, and the children are more liable to be reported as difficult to manage and less healthy.

Stage 8 of the longitudinal Life Chances Study explored the situations of 125 young Australians (75 girls and 50 boys) from diverse backgrounds, their current engagement with school and work and their future plans at the age of 16. The survey responses confirmed the continuity and layering of disadvantage: for example, 16 year olds from low-income families with parents with limited education are more likely than their affluent peers to leave school early and less likely to plan university careers. The findings also showed diversity within socioeconomic groups, and posed the challenge of providing effective teaching and transition supports for all young people.
