After a horrific car accident, she's left with a fractured memory, haunted by shadows of a life she can't fully remember. Each day brings glimpses of the past—faces of people who claim to know her, whispers of dark secrets, and a sense that everyone around her is hiding something. As Emma begins to piece together her lost memories, she uncovers chilling truths: a suspicious accident, a forgotten conspiracy, and cryptic entries in an old diary hinting that her amnesia was no accident. The deeper she delves, the more she realizes that those closest to her—friends, therapists, even her boyfriend David—may be part of a hidden agenda, one that's been controlling her life from the start. Now, with the help of a mysterious stranger named Lucas, Emma must confront the people pulling the strings and make a choice: to keep living in ignorance or to uncover the final truth that could shatter her world forever. But in a web of lies and manipulation, can she truly trust anyone, even herself? A haunting psychological thriller, Lost in the Reflection explores the boundaries of memory, trust, and the terrifying power of lost secrets.
Download or read book I Will Protect Her written by I.R. Dujon and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cover of this autobiography shows I.R. Dujon at the time of publication mothering her younger, 6-year-old self. I Will Protect Her details the adolescent years in which Ingrid was subject to tragic child abuse, while the people in charge of her welfare and safety neglected their most basic responsibilities at every point possible. This led to a prolonged period of suffering for her and for so many others. After years of fighting, a full criminal investigation into the crimes was relaunched. Victims were able finally to expose the police and local authorities for their systematic failure to recognise, report, and act upon avoidable and life-altering abuse. The collation of notes, factual evidence, dates and times as recorded by herself and supported by many others affected, led to the prosecution of one of London’s most notorious paedophiles, who was convicted and sentenced to 24 years in prison. Only now, after years of counselling, therapy, and personal development, Ingrid has managed to finally close this chapter of her life for good. Today Dujon is a proud mother of five children, all now adults. Dujon’s goal is to share her story and inspire any and everyone who has ever been subject to any form of abuse. Ingrid hopes to educate a wider audience who may not be familiar with the patterns and signs of child abuse, and to paint a detailed picture of how people who are external to an abusive situation can still do so much to prevent or change things for the better.

Download or read book Emma s War written by Deborah Scroggins and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma McCune’s passion for Africa, her unstinting commitment to the children of Sudan, and her youthful beauty and glamour set her apart from other relief workers from the moment she arrived in southern Sudan. But no one was prepared for her decision to marry a local warlord—a man who seemed to embody everything she was working against—and to throw herself into his violent quest to take over southern Sudan’s rebel movement. With precision and insight, Deborah Scroggins—who met McCune in Sudan—charts the process by which McCune’s romantic delusions led to her descent into the hell of Africa’s longest-running civil war. Emma’s War is at once a disturbing love story and an up-close look at Sudan: a world where international aid fuels armies as well as the starving population, and where the northern-based Islamic government—backed by Osama bin Laden—is locked in a war with the Christian and pagan south over religion, oil, and slaves. A timely, revelatory account of the nature of relief work, of the men and women who choose to carry it out, and of one woman’s sacrifice to its ideals.

Download or read book The Invisible Tent written by Ambrose Gordon and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical evaluation of Ford Madox Ford's "novels of war, which are also novels about peace," is made in a most delightful manner. Based on a thorough knowledge of the novelist, it is enriched by keen perception and delicate taste and is couched in an informal, highly readable style. Ambrose Gordon, Jr., here analyzes seven novels by Ford that in Gordon's opinion constitute Ford's masterpieces: Parade's End (a tetralogy consisting of Some Do Not, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and The Last Post), The Marsden Case, No Enemy, and The Good Soldier. Interested in what these novels have to say, Gordon is equally interested in how they make their comment, and so approaches them through analysis of the fictional methods that Ford employed. Yet he skillfully avoids a common error of critics who become absorbed in technique—loss of contact with the book itself—by providing numerous quotations of sufficient length to indicate the novels' quality. These passages, examined in detail for content and technique, give the reader an understanding of the novel that, though not a substitute for one's own reading of the narratives, is enhanced by the interpretation of a brilliant critic. Gordon traces the development of the novelist's art in various phases: the characteristic moods and general patterns of his novels, his borrowings from the French, the effects of his association with Conrad, his concept of the novel as fairy tale, his use of scene exteriors and interiors. Gordon's discussion cuts across the seven novels in many aspects but concentrates on one novel, or a group of novels, when his ideas have less general illustration.

Little does she know her life is about to change. With her sister living nearby and her aunt needing to move out, Emma wonders if maybe the idea is not so crazy. And when she meets the local antiques dealer, she even has to wonder if there might just be a second chance at love awaiting her.
