Can you help me find some information on the people in these two books I read this weekend?

One is called “Thursday’s Child,” by Victoria Poole. It’s about her son’s battle with heart disease when he was just 17, and everything he, and the whole family, went to, leading up to a heart transplant. His name was Talcott “Sam” Poole.
It came out in the 70’s, and I’ve read it few times since it first came out, but I can’t seem to find any updated information.

The other is “The Children on the Hill,” by Michael Deakin. This one I am especially curious about. It was also written in the 70’s and I’ve had it hanging around since then. I’ve read it 2 or 3 times, most recently over the weekend. It’s about a unique perspective on raising / teaching children to encourage learning, and discourage violence, etc. It was set in the 60’s.

I can’t seem to find any updated information on them
