Download or read book Codename Flame written by Dr. Robert Niklewicz and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Codename: FLAME is the parallel to Dr. Niklewicz's first riveting historical novel, Last Train to Dachau. That story was based on his mothers wartime experiences and the plight of the Miller family that lived and survived the terrible challenges and brutality that was forced upon them by the Nazis. As was his first book, Codename: FLAME is an historical novel based on the true-life struggles of courageous Poles in the time of war. His father Stanislaw Niklewicz was such a person and his life is featured in this second book. The contrast between the two stories is vast. The Millers, a family of five survived through patience and the strength of a family unit that did everything to stay together. Stanislaw on the other hand, was all alone as he ran away from his pending draft into the Hitler Youth at the age of 15; eventually becoming a Partisan fighter. Follow the hardships that Stanislaw endured while being alone in the forests of Poland; first as a teenage Boy Scout courier and then as a Partisan fighter. The saga of Stanislaw (Staszek) is a portrait of a defiant boy turned into a man by the necessity and passion to live free or die fighting against the tyranny of the Germans. His defiance and determination for freedom continued even after being captured behind enemy lines during a secret mission and his subsequent brutal imprisonment at the infamous Mathausen Concentration Camp. As you read this book, try to think of what it was like to be a boy soldier at 15. Then try to think of the courage and fortitude it took to survive through the torture of an extermination camp. A camp that had no other purpose than to work you to death; something you were equally determined to boldly defy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amy Post’s Out of the Gray, into the Light is a gut-wrenching story of parental helplessness following their daugther’s diagnosis of malignant liver cancer, and it shares the raw, unfiltered emotions of a family suddenly sucked into a healthcare system that often leaves weakened patients to stand silent and alone, in desperate need of an advocate. “Now I know what it is to advocate for someone, to put everything I have into something outside of myself.” —Amy Post “Your daughter has malignant liver cancer.” For Amy Post and her family, the doctor’s words shook their world and changed the trajectory of their lives forever. When Amy received a call from her children’s school telling her that her daughter wasn’t playing but was instead sitting down on the playground, her mind went into high alert. For months, she’d had a nagging suspicion that something wasn’t right with her three-year-old. Exhaustion, random fevers, and now this. Amy and her husband were not prepared, though, for the devastating diagnosis. Nor were they ready for the unveiling of a rare gene that promised not one, but three devastating forms of cancer throughout their child’s life—if she survived this one. In her book, Amy Post shares the raw, unfiltered emotions of a family suddenly sucked into a healthcare system that runs as a machine but often leaves weakened patients to stand silent and alone and in desperate need of an advocate. It’s a gut-wrenching story of parental helplessness that grows into a mother’s determination and fierce fight for survival for her daughter—and then for herself.

Download or read book One Half Truth written by Eva Dolan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'EVERYONE should read Eva Dolan' Mark Billingham When the police are called to the report of a late-night shooting, they expect it to be drugs or gang-related. They don't expect to find a young student executed on his way home. Jordan Radley was an aspiring journalist: hard working, well-liked, dedicated. His first major story – looking at the fallout following the closure of a major local factory – had run recently and looked to be the first step in his longed-for career. Even after the story ran, Jordan continued to stay in contact with those he interviewed: he was on his way back from their social club the night he was murdered. But as the detectives quickly discover, not only was Jordan killed, but those responsible also broke into his house, taking his laptop and notes. What was he researching that might have led to his death? And can this really be linked to another case – long ruled an accident – in the same area? Or are the police being forced to prioritise those with the best connections rather than the ones that most need their help? From the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award nominated author, Eva Dolan, this novel is perfect for fans of Susie Steiner, Sarah Hilary and Jane Casey. __________________________________________ Praise for Eva Dolan: 'Dolan is expert at the orchestration of tension' Guardian 'Elegantly crafted, humane and thought-provoking. She's top drawer' Ian Rankin on This is How it Ends 'A master of pace... [Dolan writes] richly imagined, cleverly plotted and socially aware stories' Independent 'Dolan infuses old-fashioned police work with contemporary issues to paint a disturbing picture of our times' Daily Mail
