Synopsis

The Empress Frederick: a memoir is a captivating exploration of the life of Victoria, Princess Royal and Empress Frederick of Germany. Written in a flowing narrative style, the memoir intertwines personal anecdotes with significant historical events, shedding light on the political and social influences of her time. The author, though anonymous, expertly captures the complexities of a woman caught between duty and personal conviction, offering readers an intimate glimpse into royal life during the late 19th century. This literary work not only serves as a biography but also navigates the nuanced dynamics of family relationships within the British and German royal households, underlining the inherent struggles of the empress's role in a rapidly changing European landscape. The anonymous authorship adds a layer of intrigue to the text, as it raises questions about the motivations behind this personal account. Coming from a contemporary of the Empress, the memoir reflects upon the societal expectations faced by women of high status during that era. The author's perspective provides valuable context, portraying the interplay of personal experience with the broader sociopolitical milieu that informed the Empress Frederick's life decisions and public persona. I wholeheartedly recommend The Empress Frederick not only for its rich historical insights but also for its eloquent prose that resonates with timeless themes of identity, loyalty, and resilience. Readers interested in royal history, women's studies, or biographical literature will find this memoir to be a profound and enlightening read.

    Profit, Loss, and Miracles is the riveting true story of a woman who rose from her deathbed to wage a courageous legal war against a corrupt insurance giant and its allies within state government. It is a chronicle of a multi-billion-dollar machine that tried to silence her family—and the astonishing power of ordinary people who refused to be broken. 
    Those who stood with Gabby—whistleblowers in government, medical heroes, fearless attorneys, a dogged journalist, and even an American icon—paid a steep price. Reputations were destroyed. Careers were threatened. Some defenders of the system were rewarded handsomely for their compliance. 
    But among the unexpected champions was Frank Borman II, Commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to orbit the Moon. Gabby and her husband had never met him. Yet through a remarkable twist of fate, this legendary astronaut helped make her life-saving transplant possible. 
    With key figures now gone, the full story—once too dangerous to tell—can finally be revealed. 
    In the tradition of A Civil Action and Erin Brockovich, Profit, Loss, and Miracles is a powerful, inspiring narrative of courage vs. corruption, family vs. bureaucracy, and the breathtaking moment when justice triumphs over greed.

    As a naive freshman, Catherine meets Walter, a senior and Big Man on Campus whose sophistication, confidence, and wealth both intimidate and excite her. A three-year absentee courtship follows, during which time the idea of Walt tethers Catherine to safety. She was programmed to marry someone like him, so she ignores the warning signs that they might not be a good match. Hoping to please her mother and seeking refuge from her fraught childhood, she marries and has children with him—but the marriage doesn’t last.Once divorced, Catherine finds herself in a war with Walt over money, and then over access to her children—and suddenly, she can no longer ignore her childhood trauma. The high stakes of her battle with her ex-husband forge her like steel, finding every vulnerability where she needs to heal. Gradually, she develops a backbone, relinquishes her trauma-induced, people-pleasing ways, and steps into her own power.Honest and unflinching, The Longest War reminds us that there’s always a way through when we access the courage within ourselves. No matter how painful life’s difficulties, they offer us the opportunity to heal ourselves and evolve into more open, loving, compassionate people. The choice is ours.

    Rudyard Kipling

    Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born in Mumbai, India on 30th December 1865.   
    As was the custom in those days, he and his sister were sent back to England when he was 5.  The ill-treatment and cruelty by the Portsmouth couple they boarded with Kipling said contributed to the onset of his literary life.  
    At 16 he returned to India to work on a local paper where he was soon contributing and writing.  It also exposed him to the issues of identity and national allegiance which pervade much of his work.  
    In 1886, his ‘Departmental Ditties’, collection of verse appeared in print followed by 39 short stories for his newspaper over only 8 months.  These were then published as ‘Plain Tales from the Hills’, shortly after his 22nd birthday.  
    He continued his prolific pace of writing before being dismissed in a dispute and, taking his pay-off and the profits from the sale of some publishing rights, decided to return to London, travelling via Rangoon, Hong Kong, Japan and the United States, all the while writing articles, and arriving at Liverpool in October 1889. 
    Over the next two years he saw further works published as books and in magazines, as well as a nervous breakdown for which he was prescribed a sea voyage, to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and India.  
    Happier times came with marriage to Caroline Starr Balestier in January 1892.  The honeymoon began in Vermont and ended in Yokahama where they heard their bank had failed.  They returned to Vermont and settled.  Caroline was now pregnant and he was planning the ‘Jungle Books’.  
    A failed arbitration between the US and England resulted in an argument between Caroline’s brother and Kipling, and then his arrest.  At the hearing he was mortified by the exposure of his private life and after settling the matter they returned to England and life in Torquay.  ‘Kim’ was published in 1902, and ‘Just So Stories for Little Children’, a year later.  
    In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature with the citation “in consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterise the creations of this world-famous author”.   
    When the Great War erupted, he scorned those who refused conscription.  His son enlisted and was killed at the Battle of Loos in September 1915, at 18, an exploding shell had ripped his face apart.  This death inspired Kipling’s writing thereafter, but the tragedy broke his life and by 1930 his prolific pen had almost ceased. 
    Rudyard Kipling died on 18th January 1936 from a perforated duodenal ulcer.  He was 70.  His ashes are buried at Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey.
