The Toyboy Diaries 2 - The Daily Male

Wendy Salisbury

Sinopse

THE DAILY MALE picks up where THE TOYBOY DIARIES left off. Wendy, now sixty, is embarking on yet another brick-wall relationship with a man young enough to be her son. Her friends despair of her, her ever-increasing brood of grandchildren demand more of her, her ailing antiques business worries her - is it time for her to hang up her lacy lingerie and seek stability with a more suitable suitor? Wendy vows to stay on the toyboy wagon and take love seriously for a change. But in this voyeuristic peek through her private diaries, we find her lost in another maze of men: the Turkish plasterer, the cranky architect, the Club Med manager, the army Captain By day a devoted grandmother, by night a thrill-seeking siren, Wendy juggles mashed banana and nappies, Calvin Kleins and caviar. But can she ever satisfy her hunger for young lovers? Can an older man provide her with the passion that she needs?

God's Autobiography

Charles H Huettner Scribe

God’s Autobiography will tell you God’s story from creation to the end time as though it is Him telling it, based on insights that I believe that God has given me.  These insights include new interpretations of the Bible that will strengthen your belief and amazingly come together to provide beautiful answers to many of the great questions that mankind has struggled with: why He created the universe and mankind, why bad things happen to good people, where cognition, depression and dementia come from, what the Bible is, how God speaks to you, how to become a child of God no matter what religion you practice, and how to interpret “The Book of Revelation”.“I am writing this book to you my children so that you will know me before the final tribulations of the last days.  You can’t imagine what it is like to be all powerful and always exist. I can do anything I want, but life seemed meaningless.  I was lonely and unloved. Love is only real if it is freely given by a cognitive being like me that has a choice to love me or not. Then it came to me that what I was missing was a family. I need a family that I can love, nourish and grow. Not a created family, but a family that is comprised of independent spiritual beings that can love me or not. A loving family will be my objective! “

The Blackridge House - A Memoir

Julia Martin

A quest is never what you expect it to be.
Elizabeth Madeline Martin spends her days in a retirement home in Cape Town, watching the pigeons and squirrels on the branch of a tree outside her window. Bedridden, her memory fading, she can recall her early childhood spent in a small wood-and-iron house in Blackridge on the outskirts of Pietermaritzburg. Though she remembers the place in detail – dogs, a mango tree, a stream – she has no idea of where exactly it is. 'My memory is full of blotches,' she tells her daughter Julia, 'like ink left about and knocked over.'
Julia resolves to find the Blackridge house: with her mother lonely and confused, would this, perhaps, bring some measure of closure? A journey begins that traverses family history, forgotten documents, old photographs, and the maps that stake out a country's troubled past – maps whose boundaries nature remains determined to resist. Kind strangers, willing to assist in the search, lead to unexpected discoveries of ancestors and wars and lullabies. Folded into this quest are the tender conversations between a daughter and a mother who does not have long to live. Taken as one, The Blackridge House is a meditation on belonging, of the stories we tell of home and family, of the precarious footprint of life.

Becky: The Heartbreaking Story...

Darren Galsworthy

This is the heartbreaking story of the murder of 16-year-old Bristol schoolgirl Becky Watts, a personal and heartfelt account of a crime that shocked the nation in a unique way and tore a family in two.
A vulnerable and shy girl, Becky Watts was brutally murdered and dismembered by her own step-brother on 19 February 2015. As her father Darren discovered the horrific details of what happened to his darling girl, his world fell apart.
Writing about his darkest hours and unbearable pain, Darren uncovers what Becky’s relationship with her step-brother Nathan, a child he had raised as his own son, was really like. He recalls the devastation of discovering the truth about the depravity with which Becky was torn from him in the safety of her own home. And he recounts the torment of the legal battle to see his step-son sentenced to life behind bars.
But, at its heart, Becky is a poignant personal story, a chance for Darren to pay tribute to his darling daughter, to celebrate her life and take back control of how she is remembered.
Darren recalls with enduring love the daughter he fought so hard to get custody of after she was taken into foster care as an infant; the happy child who completed his life; and the innocent schoolgirl who brought joy and happiness to all her knew her.
Both heartfelt and haunting, searingly honest and unflinching, this is the ultimate story of a family tragedy.
This top-rated autobiography is a testament to a father's undying love and the lengths he would go to ensure justice for his daughter. It paints a vivid picture of the life of Becky, a girl whose life was tragically cut short, yet her memory continues to inspire and touch the hearts of many.
For fans of Mae West (Love as Always, Mum xxx), Gregg Olsen (American Mother), Anna Ruston (Secret Slave), Karen Edwards (A Killer's Confession), and Kevin Wells (Goodbye, Dearest Holly).
