Sinopse

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.

    For more than twenty years, Kelsey Grammar played the brilliant but fussy psychiatrist Frasier Crane, first on Cheers, then on the wildly successful spinoff, Frasier. During those two decades, Grammer received 17 Emmy nominations, winning four as the psychiatrist-turned-radio host and another one for providing the voice of Sideshow Bob on yet another television classic, The Simpsons. In So Far…, Grammar recounts his life and career in a frank and moving autobiography, covering his tragic family life—the murder of his father and sister and the deaths of his two half-brothers—as well as addictions to alcohol and drugs, that became public. And of course, Grammar discusses his association with three of the most beloved series of all time.

    The thousands of islands scattered across the Pacific Ocean were home to fierce warriors and cannibals who sacrificed their children to the many gods they worshiped. A few islands had been dramatically transformed by the gospel, but thousands more were waiting for someone to come and teach them about the one true God.  John Williams dedicated his life to bringing the message of Christ's love and peace to these brutal islands. In the face of constant danger, he discipled and inspired Polynesians to go as missionaries to their neighbors, ultimately giving his life to see the gospel spread across the vast Pacific. (1796\-1839)

    A Transatlantic Adventure Fueled by Tea and Hedgerow Fruit 
    When American Claire Craig Evans married a charming British man, there was a cost for the snappy banter and countless offers of tea: she had to uproot life as she knew it and relocate to the UK. Who wouldn’t want to move to an enchanted island where mysterious women with dewy complexions made jam in thatched cottages with millennia-old lichen attached? 
    Sure, experienced American expats offered nuggets of wisdom (“Bring over a lifetime supply of taco seasoning!”) but they weren’t even mild comfort as Claire tried to avoid death, jail, and wayward sheep while learning to navigate zebra crossings and drive on the “wrong” side of the road. 
    The allure of a jet-setter lifestyle vanished as fast as Air India sent her Samsonite to Delhi instead of London Heathrow. Would more tea help her figure out how long she’d been wearing the single pair of underwear in her possession? (That was the jetlag talking. They do have underwear in the UK, too.) 
    Fans of Bridget Jones and Bill Bryson alike will enjoy High Tea and the Low Down, a keenly-observed memoir full of laugh-out-loud moments as Claire experiences the reality of English living. If she couldn’t even pass a pub quiz, how would she ever pass the infamous Life in the UK test, the high-stakes hurdle required to stay on British soil (and with her husband) indefinitely?

    This is a book about my faith journey from a young adult to my senior years. Being a survivor of COVID, I knew the LORD still had a purpose for my life. I listened to the voice in my heart and knew I needed to write this book as an encouragement to others. Events happen in life that can cause us to see ourselves as victims or survivors. I choose using my Faith "hat" to be a survivor; an overcomer in all things. You will read about my 60 day hospital stay and 4 month home health journey and how my identified "hats" brought me through it all. My COVID survival is a miracle from GOD. Identify your "hats" so the road in front of you can be paved; and a way made for you by HIM. May you always be an overcomer. After 40 years of teaching, I started living my retired life in the country home that my husband and I designed together. My faith journey spans several decades and I have worn many "hats" during my life. I have tied them securely and held them in place with my Faith "hat" to face many a trial and tribulation both emotionally and physically. I have experienced divorce 3 times, miscarriage twice, sexual assault, as well as having 2 beautiful children, enjoying relationships with siblings, experiencing grandchildren, and finally a soulmate and loving husband. I have learned to listen to the small voice in my heart and follow the LORD's leading. I am a modern day walking talking miracle.
