In “All My Yesterdays” the author takes his readers from a tiny farm in Texas where he was born in 1930 and his childhood during the Great Depression, to his boyhood in the little agricultural town of Victoria, where he discovered he could sing. He takes you to the port city Galveston during and after World War II, where he went to high school and where he became a popular teenage singer, to his time in the army during the Korean War, from 1951 to 1953, and afterward to Hollywood to pursue a singing career.

The third book concerning the lives of Hartley brothers and their adopted sister, Natalie, now the Duchess of Lonsworth, takes place in 1864. Robin Hartley, the Earl of Manningley falls madly in love with a beautiful young widow, Jonquil Jamison, Duchess of Allerton. Unfortunately Jonquil's marriage, though of only six weeks duration, was so appalling she is terrified to remarry, so although she falls in love with Robin she rebuffs his advances. In the meantime Robin's younger brother, Brian, now a successful artist living in Paris, has fallen hopelessly in love with Miss Jenny Helliwell, and she with him. Jenny, a young lady rescued from dire circumstances by Robin, is secretary to the brothers' grandmother, Lady Pepper. Alas, due to a misunderstanding upon their first meeting, Brian believes Jenny to be Robin's intended so, to Jenny's utter dismay and his eternal regret, does not declare his love. The two men's predicament is not aided by each believing that the other has designs on the lady he loves. But after a spring and summer of torment at balls in London, the races and a church fte at Epsom they all return to their homes in Yorkshire where two startling incidents occur that change their lives forever.

The poems I have selected are mostly true to life personal experience, regarding feelings of love, hurt, and desperation. Unusually hard to describe ways of thinking put in writing regarding friendship, broken hearts, and relationships. My expression of camoufl aged emotions bottled up inside. Some of the poems are just fi ctional silly shorts. A number of these poems are feelings I had which came a little too late to say in person and several that you just dont want to share with anyone. Just a few simple poems that were my way to free my heart at any given time. The pictures I have chosen are of my family, including my animals and places we have journeyed to.

All of Marjorie Pizer's published poems in one volume. Includes many poems previously out of print.

Most people who have lost a child write books about how to cope with the child's death. Author Lori Plegge has taken a different perspective on losing a child. Instead of writing about how to cope with the death of a child, she has decided to write a story about her son's life. When Tomorrow Starts Without Me is a true story about the life and death of a young man named Anthony. No matter how hard Lori tried to raise Anthony right, he made some bad choices in his life and those bad choices led to his death. When reading this book you will experience every emotion possible, you become a part of the story. When Tomorrow Starts Without me is not just a sad story about the death of a 19 year old boy but it also tells you funny childhood stories along with some near death experiences Anthony had. Even though the loss of a child is a very tragic thing, Lori has managed to take that tragedy and turn it into something positive to help others.

When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment; we feel safe, in control, and on track. But when life does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of disappointment is profoundly uncomfortable and can cost us valuable time and energy if not treated and leveraged effectively. Christine Hassler has broken down the complex and overwhelming experience of recovering from disappointment into a step-by-step treatment plan. This book reveals the formula for how to process Expectation Hangovers on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual levels to immediately ease suffering. Instead of wallowing in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, we can see these experiences as catalysts for profound transformation and doorways that open to possibility. Often it is only when life throws us a curveball (or several) that we look in a different direction and make room for the kinds of unexpected things that lead more directly to a life we love. By the time you finish this book, you’ll understand why your Expectation Hangover happened and have your own treatment plan — a clear course of action to pursue your goals while preventing future disappointment.
