I Was Just a Radioman by Pamela Ackerson

The day that will live in infamy was just the beginning….

In 1940, still in high school, Henry P. Lawrence joined the Navy Reserves. Little did he know that a year later, in May of 1941, he’d be called to service and deployed to Hawaii. No one believed the Japanese would be aggressive enough to attack a US territory.

Their plan…to cripple the United States military.

The attack at Pearl came hard and fast. I Was Just a Radioman is a collection of the memoirs of ARM Henry P. Lawrence, a WWII Pearl Harbor survivor, Black Cat, and decorated war veteran.

Mother At Seven by Veronika Gasparyan

About Mother At Seven by Veronika Gasparyan

Mother at Seven is the shocking, inspirational true story of a little girl’s tragic childhood, and how she endured and overcame a decade of unspeakable abuse at the hands of her cruel and sadistic family.
Set in Sochi, Russia, near the banks of the majestic Black Sea, Mother at Seven tells of those critical moments in a child’s life when the only thing standing between the life and death itself was a pure and innocent belief that better days lie ahead. It teaches that by fighting through hardship and pain, miracles can still happen, and that life can still be amazing as long as hope is never lost.

Cottage Cheese Thighs by Jenn Sadai

About Cottage Cheese Thighs by Jenn Sadai

I know what it feels like to hate your body. I’ve cried over my reflection too many times to count. I’m tired of watching my self-esteem sink whenever the number on the scale starts to rise. I’ve spent the majority of my life battling my weight and it’s time for me to win this war!

Developing a body that didn’t make me cry was the intention behind writing this story, although it blossomed into something greater than I ever imagined. Instead of figuring out how to create and maintain a body that resembles the flawless images I so desperately wanted to imitate, I taught myself how to love my existing body, flaws and all.

This story dissects society’s views on what constitutes a beautiful body, as well as the pressures women face to look and behave a certain way. Too much emphasis is placed on our appearance rather than our attitude, abilities and accomplishments. Investigating my insecurities gave me a chance to separate my self-esteem from the scale and realize my true value in this world. I’ve never felt more confident and capable. I pray it does the same for you.

It’ll Feel Better when it Quits Hurting by Lisa Orban

About It'll Feel Better when it Quits Hurting by Lisa Orban

Many years ago my friends and I would sit around and play what we called "Jerry Springer: the Home Game". The object of the game was to see how many upcoming shows we qualified for, with the story to support our claim, and whoever had the most at the end of the program won. I was the reigning champion. This book started off as just a lighthearted collection of anecdotes, stories shared with friends over the years to both the horror and delight of my audience. But as I began to write I realized that the humor of my life comes not from the light moments, but the dark, and without those moments being included much of the humor would be lost without that context. This book is a bit darker than I initially intended, but I hope that while reading this I can make you smile, even on occasion laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of the situations I have found myself in over the years, and that you, like me, can find the humor in all the dark places. I do not believe I have any wisdom to share in this telling, nor is it even an inspirational tale of achievement by overcoming adversity, it is simply my life that I have survived. For better or for worse, this is the mostly true, fairly accurate, and almost completely factual account of my life. Some liberties have been taken to protect the somewhat innocent and a few small embellishments were made for the sake of a good story.

BURNOUT– How a Desert Lizard Restored My Faith by Pam Young

About BURNOUT– How a Desert Lizard Restored My Faith:

Are you feeling stressed? Burnt out?

Do you sometimes wonder if it’s not just the job but your whole life that sucks?

So did Dr. Young.

Dr. Pam Young was many things in 1988 – successful college professor, faculty governance leader, and regional consultant for how to work with students who were “different.” But no one ever knew just how “different” she was…or that someone wanted her dead…

This is not a “how-to” book.

BURNOUT is the personal story of a spiritual seeker and workaholic who experienced extreme burnout aka dark night of the soul with night visions and OBEs. It shows her struggle to keep going, and tells about everything she tried – from psychologist to psychiatrist to psychic.

Remarkably, it reveals how real healing began when the author camped with spiritual leaders in a different country, in a culture vastly different from her own.

You Can’t Crack Me…. I’m a Rubber Duck! by Charlie Northage

About You Can’t Crack Me…. I’m a Rubber Duck! by Charlie Northage

An extraordinary tale of one man’s triumph over incredible odds. From a thirteen-year-old runaway sleeping in a “cardboard box city” deep within London’s urban streets, Charlie somehow summoned the stamina and resilience to triumph over a relentless string of adversities, betrayals, rejections, and losses which persistently dogged his life, to pursue a successful twelve-year career in the British Army.

            Leaving military service, and forced to accept any kind of low-wage labour, he struggled with an undiagnosed case of PTSD which eventually led to alcoholism and attempted suicide. Yet throughout his life he continued to meet each new challenge with a firm determination not to be beaten.

            You Can’t Crack Me…I’m a Rubber Duck! is an account of frequent personal misjudgments, failures, and heartbreaking remorse. Without indulging in self-pity or self-justification, this is the story of an honest man, one who searches the very depths of his hidden pains and personal failings as well as his deepest joys and achievements. Without pulling any punches he reveals himself to us as he is.

Sprinkled with loving kindness, abiding affection, and heartwarming compassion and gratitude for those closest to him, it is, above all, an attempt by a father to divulge his life story in order to bequeath a legacy to the children he lost years ago. They never realised the deep love their father had for them, nor the anguish their absence caused him.

Ever hovering in the back of his conscience are the faces of his children and an underlying sense of loss. From their father who loves them deeply, this is their legacy.
