Book Description
Robert, Tony, and Philip thought their friendships would last forever; they were tragically wrong. In 1949, the three high school boys engaged in a harmless prank that unexpectedly deteriorated into a crime. An innocent man was blamed for their indiscretions, and the boys’ various moral qualms tore their relationships apart. It would be over twenty years before the teens would cross paths again—this time above the backdrop of Guatemala’s civil war. In 1983, Robert is a successful physician. Tony has become a war correspondent and novelist, and Philip thrives as an expatriate art dealer in the heart of Guatemala. The three are drawn together as the small country begins to experience the most dangerous year of its civil war. The three old friends cannot avoid one another in the midst of the conflict. Relationships are reformed, each man working toward his own agenda. The past inevitably intrudes upon the present as their personal values—and wills to live—clash amid the violence of uprising. The past cannot be changed, the present is what we make it, and the future has yet to be written. But will Robert, Tony, and Philip move beyond their haunted memories? And will they live through the present long enough to have futures at all?

Book Description
A virtuous young woman journeys to the Land of the Dead to retrieve the still-beating heart of a king; a wily corpse-monster tricks his young captor into setting him free; a king falls under a curse that turns him into a cannibal; a shepherd who understands the speech of animals saves a princess from certain death. These are just a few of the wondrous tales that await readers of this collection of Tibetan Buddhist folktales. Fifteen stories are told for modern readers in a vivid, accessible style that reflects a centuries-old tradition of storytelling in the monasteries and marketplaces of Tibet. As a child growing up in a Buddhist monastery, Yeshi Dorjee would often coax the elderly lamas into telling him folktales. By turns thrilling, mysterious, clever, and often hilariously funny, the stories he narrates here also teach important lessons about mindfulness, compassion, and other key Buddhist principles. They will delight readers of all ages, scholars and students, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

Book Description
On October 16, 1955, Robert Peterson and Anton and John Schuessler left home to see a Disney movie. Two days later their bodies were found in a forest preserve. This true crime story, written by one of the original detectives on the case, details the police investigation of this triple child murder that spanned 40 years. Never presented before, this firsthand account honestly discusses the successes and failures of the various law enforcement agencies involved with the investigation; describes the intense media attention and public reaction to the crime; and openly addresses the pain and loss experienced by the parents of all three boys. Though heartbreaking, the knowledge the story imparts is important as a historical reference as well as a statement about our shortcomings as a society.

Book Description
Table of contents 1- CHILDHOOD AND HYPOTHYROIDISM 2- MIND, BODY AND CROHNS 3- MARRIED AT 35 YEARS OLD – (MAY 6TH 2017) 4- PREGNANCY DEVELOPMENT 5- AN UNPLANNED NUMBER 2 6- THE BIRTH OF LAST CHILD 7- THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND FERTILITY OVERVIEW The author aims to inspire, strengthen and empower women, on top of disseminating tips on conception and outlining the journey of becoming a mother. This is also based on real life events of a true heartwarming love story. In this intimate autobiography of Miss Lizdiany, we closely follow her sentiments as a sufferer of two chronic illnesses who managed to beat the odds. She was diagnosed with Thyroid and Crohn's long before she got married. Although her ailments interfere with fertility, she successfully fell naturally pregnant with three boys in her late 30s. For her, it was an unyielding, emotional battle through the trials and tribulations of her multiple conditions. Miss Lizdiany is a woman with unparalleled courage, will, determination and qualities that helped her power through times of darkness and unimaginable torment. While other children were thriving in the first decade of their life, she spent those years seeing different medical specialists and suffering from the onset of Hypothyroidism. And as though that wasn’t a tragic enough blow, Crohn’s then robbed her adult hood. In her years of adolescent, she suffered emotionally, physically and mentally agonizing till today. These two chronic diseases shadowed her for the rest of her life. The content holistically touches on the struggles and triumphs from her childhood up till becoming the proud mother of three boys. We hope that through her openness and willingness to be vulnerable, women that might be in similar predicaments can find hope and strength in their personal pursuits. Because of the gentle nature of the feminine, women can be very susceptible to stress especially under the influence of overwhelming hormones when pregnant, therefore it is important to build a strong mental foundation. Not every woman has the same symptoms from one pregnancy to the next. Therefore we hope to impart guidance from our personal experiences to inspire mothers-to-be on what to expect during the course of pregnancy along with tips to fertility. Hence, this book also illustrates the mind, body and soul of a woman through Miss Lizdiany experiences. Despite the obstacles, she gave birth to three healthy boys each just 11 months apart, born on Aug 22, 2019, July 12, 2020 and June 7, 2021 respectively. It seems that miracles are granted to those who stick to their guns and never give up. We hope that this extraordinary story will act to inspire and encourage others through such dark and rough times.

Book Description
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. (Marie Curie) The nature of people is to shun the unknown, which is what a handful of people in the town of Springdale were doing to Charlie Goodbear. Charlie Goodbear by Tom Thunderhorse is an inspirational tale about the lives of a few small town folks and a good-hearted and misunderstood man named Charlie. The book begins with a detailed explanation of the characters and the town of Springdale. Thunderhorses perfect description of the stereotypical small town life makes you feel close to the characters. It is as if you are part of the gang and not just a silent spectator. The story unfolds only to pull you deeper into the lives of these colorful characters. A wonderful element this book has to offer is humor, and more than one kind. This book will have its reader laughing as well as sitting in silent amusement at some particular quirk. Do not think for one minute that this book is a comedy, however, it will have you near tears at some points too. A word of warning to all the books potential readers: This book is religious! Thats right, Ive said the R word. However, what is more important for those who are sensitive about the aforementioned R word, it is not preachy. This story does not attempt to convert you or convince you of the benefits of believing what these characters do believe. Feel safe, people of all faiths, your beliefs are out of harm's way, so if you can get past the rest of it, just sit back and enjoy the tale. Charlie Goodbear offers an ending that can only be described as bittersweet, but I will not spoil it for any potential readers who may be reading this. You will just have to acquire a copy of this wonderful book for yourself. When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me. ~Erma Bombeck "I have known Tom Thunderhorse for a good amount of time now and knowing him has made this book all the more enjoyable for me. I could hear his voice in my head as I read and his sense of humor and personality comes though in every character. I feel very touched to have been given the opportunity to enjoy his novel before it becomes available to the rest of the world and truly blessed to have met him." ~This Review By, Christina Malley

Book Description
First published in 1973, this book considers the differences between mainstream schools and special educational needs schools, for children with learning disabilities. It contains a wealth of research data, case history material and reference to existing literature, designed to answer many questions which parents, heads, and schoolteachers have asked. Questions considered include whether children with disabilities do as well in ordinary schools as children without, whether they are as happy and well adjusted, and how they fit into the social structure of the class. The book also looks at whether much teasing occurs and how practical difficulties can be overcome.

Book Description
The Touch of an Angel is the extraordinary story of a child's survival of the Holocaust. Henryk Schönker was born in 1931 into one of the most prominent and highly esteemed Jewish families of Oswiecim—the Polish town renamed Auschwitz during the German occupation. He and his family managed to flee Oswiecim shortly before the creation of the Auschwitz death camp, and survived the war through sheer luck and a strong will to survive. The Schönker family's return to Oswiecim in 1945 provides a fascinating glimpse of challenges faced by Jewish people who chose to remain in Poland after the war and attempted to rebuild their lives there. Schönker's testimony also reveals an astonishing fact: the town of Oswiecim could have become the departure point for a mass emigration of Jewish people instead of the place of their annihilation. Documents included with the narrative provide support for this claim. Although he was only a child at the time, Henryk Schönker's life experience was the Holocaust. Even so, death and the threat of death are not the focus of this memoir. Instead, Schönker, with a touching personal style, chooses to focus on how life can defy destruction, how spirituality can protect physical existence, and how real the presence of higher powers can be if one never loses faith. His story has been made into an award-winning documentary film in Polish and German, The Touch of an Angel, directed by Marek T. Pawlowski.

Book Description
‘I never thought, when I met my husband at 18, got married at 25, had my third baby at 30 or even two years ago when I started writing this book, that I would find myself in the position I am now... a single mum to three boys, two dogs with a now ex-husband. This is a brutally honest account of life since I weed on that stick. Pregnancy, haemorrhoids, cabbage leaves, mum mates, tantrums, holidays, hormones, sex, dogs and divorce. This is definitely not a guide to parenting but it may make you feel a little less alone on the journey.’
