Review Cut The Strings: The True Story of a Soul Reclaimed / Lean Marketing Press:Here was a man with such pride, a man in his late twenties who could create a beautiful item from nothing. But the truth of the matter was. MY DAD WAS A MONSTER This is the true story of one woman's courage in the face of a life full of pain. Abused by her father, bullied at school and neglected by her mother, Lynn Grocott's childhood was a waking nightmare. As an adult, tormented and haunted by her youth, her life went from bad to worse. She was eventually admitted to a psychiatric ward after facing the suicide of both parents. Somehow Lynn crawled back but fate was relentless in its cruelty. [+]She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and virtually wasted away as she battled to overcome Anorexia Nervosa. Yet despite all that life has thrown at her Lynn is an achiever. She's been able to turn things around, reclaim her soul and live life as a winner, fulfilling lifelong dreams and raising money for charity. This is a story that will at times shock and apall you. But beyond that it reminds us all that we have the power to emerge from life's darkest challenges as stronger and happier human beings. The author is donating a third of all royalties to Child Advocacy International.

Review See You After the Duration: The Story of British Evacuees to North America in World War II: Foreword by Sir Martin Gilbert / PublishAmerica:Why would British parents risk sending their children to safety over submarine-infested waters? How would American and Canadian families and public respond to them? What adventures would the children experience and what would be the long-term effect on their lives and on attitudes on both sides of the Atlantic? This book sheds light on an aspect of World War II that is little known on either side of the Atlantic. It is a tale that is at times moving, often humorous, evoking an authentic picture of life and attitudes sixty years ago. It is a saga of separation, a story of unashamed patriotism, and an important and very readable contribution to the literature of World War II.

Review Mother Was a Rebel: In Praise of Gentle People / NewSouth Books:Many people have interesting childhoods, eccentric relatives, go off to college, and set out as adults to make their way in the world. Few people are as keenly observant or can write as compellingly about these experiences as does Alabama poet laureate Helen Blackshear in this inviting memoir. Here we are invited into extended Southern families and are given glimpses of a world that no longer exists - of genteel women's schools, of college towns when they were small communities, of first car trips and first suitors and a young girl's coming of age. The author recalls us back to her world in the early to mid-twentieth century, and reveals in the process her own generous spirit and wise heart.
