Download or read book No Peace Until He s Dead written by Amanda Brown and published by Merrion Press. This book was released on 2024-02-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this candid memoir, Amanda Brown chronicles the unimaginable sexual abuse she suffered from the age of eight at the hands of her stepfather, Davy Tweed. No Peace Until He’s Dead offers a raw and unflinching account of Amanda’s childhood years marred both by the domestic abuse suffered by her mother at the hands of Tweed, and her own appalling trauma leading to her courageous pursuit of justice and recovery. Davy Tweed, a DUP councillor, Orangeman and lauded rugby player for both Ulster and Ireland, maintained the veneer of upstanding citizen through his political and sporting life, yet he was unafraid to show an intimidating streak in public, notably with his involvement in the Harryville pickets, at which he was an unrelenting and vocal figure. However, this public ugliness paled in comparison to the violent incestuous paedophile he was behind closed doors. This transformative memoir was born of Amanda’s unwavering determination to find her voice and advocate for other survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. No Peace Until He’s Dead forces us to confront a subject so often obscured by fear and shame, and serves as a testament that those who have suffered can overcome their past and find happiness.

Book excerpt: Visionary, scholar, idealist, poet and author of a momentous epic and other timeless works, Wishart's Virgil is a man of contradictions: celibate but capable of great love; stuffy, sometimes prudish but often extremely warm and open; shy but with a talent for friendship and a certain magnetism. Through his eyes we gain an oblique view of great historical events: the assassination of Caesar, the downfall of Pompey and the tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra.

Book excerpt: The circle is closed as the boys in their desperation to flee from the wrath of Pancho Villa return to the very place they started from, the Hacienda De Venge, in hopes of throwing off Villa, if he has any thoughts of revenge for when they helped free Don Juan Belden. Once back at the Hacienda, the brothers realize that this is where their roads to the future bring them to a parting of ways. The boys have come home after over two years of being away only to find that they are now in a war of will and nerves in order to win the love of Don Cristobals daughters, Carmela and Alberta. The brothers find that they must bump heads with the two suitors the girls have acquired in their absence, and it turns out to be a war of a different type, a war where there are no physical adversaries or material foes. But after surviving run-ins with bandits, thugs and Mother Nature, the brothers, used to adversity, take on this new challenge without complaining. This story is a mixture of fiction with a large dash of fact, and was inspired by my fertile imagination and the many stories I was told by a very credible and wonderful man who lived through it all and shared his past with me.

Download or read book White Cross written by Richard Masefield and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The White Cross is a whole new reading experience; a book that brings something entirely original to historical fiction. Set in the late twelfth century at the time of King Richard I's crusade to win back Jerusalem from the Saracens, the story deals with timeless issues - with the moralities of warfare and fundamental religion, the abuse of power, the heights of martial fervour and the depths of disillusionment The writing blazes with colour (literally in the case of the printed edition, which makes groundbreaking use of colour throughout). It pulses with life, capturing the sights and sounds, the very smells of medieval life. At the novel's heart is the relationship between Garon and Elise - the story of an arranged marriage which rapidly develops into something deeper, to challenge a young husband's strongly held beliefs and set him on a long and painful journey to self-realisation, to break and finally restore a woman's spirit as she battles for recognition and for justice in a brutal man's world. And then there is the Berge dal becce; a character who is surely more than he appears? The only way to uncover all the secrets of The White Cross is to read it!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BATTLE FOR THE NEW WORLD IS A FIGHT TO THE FINISH! A NEW RING OF FIRE NOVEL BY BEST-SELLING WRITING TEAM ERIC FLINT AND CHARLES E. GANNON A New Day in the New World It’s 1637 in the Caribbean. Commander Eddie Cantrell and his ally and friend Admiral Martin Tromp start it off with some nasty surprises for Spain, whose centuries-long exploitation and rapine of the New World has run unchecked. Until now. Yet life goes on in the Caribbean. Relationships among the allied Dutch, Swedes, Germans, up-timers, and even Irish mercenaries continue to evolve and deepen. New friendships must be forged with the native peoples, who will not only shape the colonists’ future in the Caribbean, but will also decide whether they will be given access to a Louisiana oilfield that could change the balance of power. But for now, the only oil Imperial Spain knows about is the crude pouring out of the Allies’ pumps on Trinidad—which threatens its interests in both the New and the Old Worlds. So, following in the footsteps of the conquistadors, the empire’s commanders are resolved to show that they do not take threats lightly or lying down. Indeed, their historical reaction is to respond with overwhelming—and often genocidal—force. The battle for the New World has not merely begun; it is a fight to the finish.
