Sinossi

Agnes Strickland'Äôs "The Queens of England" (Vol. 1-3) is a meticulously researched historical anthology that illuminates the lives of England's queens from the Norman Conquest to the late 17th century. Strickland employs a narrative style that blends biographical detail with a dramatic retelling of events, crafting an engaging tapestry of the trials and tribulations faced by these influential women. Her work echoes the Victorian era'Äôs fascination with female figures in history, combining a scholarly rigor with accessible prose meant for both the educated reader and the general public. Each volume not only recounts personal stories but also situates these queens within the broader socio-political context of their times, thereby offering insight into their profound impacts on English history. Agnes Strickland was a prominent Victorian historian, born into a family with a strong appreciation for literature and education. Her extensive knowledge of English history, coupled with her passion for women'Äôs roles in shaping that history, inspired her to write this compelling trilogy. Strickland's dedication to highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of queens allowed readers to see these historical figures in a new light, bridging gaps between academic history and popular narrative. I highly recommend "The Queens of England" to anyone with an interest in British history or women'Äôs studies. Strickland'Äôs engaging storytelling, coupled with her rigorous scholarship, makes this work an indispensable resource for historians, students, and casual readers alike. Those seeking to understand the dynamic interplay of gender and power in England's past will find themselves captivated by the stories contained within these volumes.

Dear Dana - That time I went...

Amy Weinland Daughters

When Amy Daughters reconnected with her old pal Dana on Facebook, she had no idea how it would change her life. Though the two women hadn’t had any contact in thirty years, it didn’t take them long to catch up—and when Amy learned that Dana’s son Parker was doing a second stint at St. Jude battling cancer, she was suddenly inspired to begin writing the pair weekly letters. When Parker died, Amy—not knowing what else to do—continued to write Dana. Eventually, Dana wrote back, and the two became pen pals, sharing things through the mail that they had never shared before. The richness of the experience left Amy wondering something: If my life could be so changed by someone I considered “just a Facebook friend,” what would happen if I wrote all my Facebook friends a letter? A whopping 580 handwritten letters later Amy’s life, and most of all her heart, would never, ever, be the same again. As it turned out, there were actual individuals living very real lives behind each social media profile, and she was beautifully connected to each of those extraordinary, flawed people for a specific reason. They loved her, and she loved them. And nothing—not politics, beliefs, or lifestyle—could separate them.

Silent Child

Toni Maguire, Emily Smith

Unlike people with carefree previous lives, I packed away my past. There are some memories labeled 'Look at', and others 'Leave well alone' . . . 
 
 
 
Emily Smith was held in a prison of fear for ten years. When she was four, her father left and a new man was brought into her life. He loved her, he kept telling her so, but the emotional and physical abuse she suffered at his hands were a daily nightmare. Until one day, after he crept into her bedroom, her life became unbearable. 
 
 
 
Emily found she was different in another way as her autism became more noticeable and punishments for her 'abnormal' behavior more severe. Astonishingly, she managed to escape her home of hell, where she was abused right in front of her mother. Emily determinedly gained a university place and emerged triumphant with a new life and family in Ireland, desperate to treat her daughter, so similar to her, to a different life. 
 
 
 
Heartbreakingly true, Silent Child is a testament to Emily's strength as she sheds light on rampant abuse still happening today. Powerful and shocking, sharing her story means she finally has a voice to say: enough. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

Pink Camouflage - One soldier's...

Gemma Morgan

This is a fascinating insight into a macho, male-dominated world where reality is so grotesquely distorted from the public perception. Read it, believe it, because sometimes the truth is far more incredible than fiction.TERRY BUTCHER, Captain of England Football Team
 
Her husband found her by the roadside, delirious and choking on her own vomit. Gemma Morgan was 33, happily married with two
young children, an outstanding army service record and a first-class international sporting career. But underneath she was a wreck, surviving on a cocktail of vodka, Valium and sleeping pills.
Misogyny, sexual abuse and toxic masculinity had been the daily realities of her Army career long before being deployed unarmed and unsupported to the blood and mayhem of a war zone.
When Gemma gave birth to a baby girl, motherhood left her lost and alienated, a soldier who had deliberately suppressed her femininity with no idea how to cope.
Together, these experiences triggered a mental health crisis that led her to become suicidal, battling PTSD, betrayed and abandoned by the institution to which she had devoted seven years of her life.
With the support of her family Gemma has been on a long, hard and bumpy road to recovery. This is her story in her own words.
She has told it to inspire a fierce and urgent call for change.
 
Gemma speaks with powerful vulnerability – you could hear a pin drop. JODIE KIDD Model, Racing Driver and TV Personality
