Synopsis

The Wreck of the Golden Mary by Charles Dickens is a collection of adventurous tales about shipwrecks, ghosts, and madness. Excerpt: "I was apprenticed to the Sea when I was twelve years old, and I have encountered a great deal of rough weather, both literal and metaphorical. It has always been my opinion since I first possessed such a thing as an opinion, that the man who knows only one subject is next tiresome to the man who knows no subject. Therefore, in the course of my life, I have taught myself whatever I could, and although I am not an educated man, I am able, I am thankful to say, to have an intelligent interest in most things. A person might suppose, from reading the above, that I am in the habit of holding forth about number one."

    Amidst the turmoil of the Secret War in Laos, Toua, a young Hmong boy of just ten years finds himself torn from the embrace of his family, catapulted into a world far beyond the innocence of childhood. This memoir unfolds the harrowing and inspirational journey of resilience and survival against the backdrop of a conflict that most weren’t aware of, where the Hmong people stood alongside Americans in the shadows of the Vietnam War. 
    Hidden within the unforgiving jungle's embrace, the boy finds solace and an unexpected sense of belonging among the Hmong Freedom Fighters. Together, they navigate the perilous terrain of warfare, where each day brings with it the heavy burden of survival and the haunting question of morality in the face of relentless danger. Despite the camaraderie and purpose he finds, the boy is plagued by an unyielding yearning for his family and a sense of displacement, his soul marred by the trials of war and the difficult tasks demanded of him. 
    At his lowest, contemplating the escape of death over the pain of existence, a glimmer of unwavering hope and the dream of family reunion guides him through the darkness. The North Star, known as the Bright Star to the Hmong, a beacon amidst the chaos, becomes his guide, steering him through his treacherous journey towards refuge, and ultimately, to the shores of America. 
    This memoir is more than a tale of survival; it's a testament to the indomitable spirit of a young boy thrust into the maelstrom of war. It's a story of the unbreakable bonds of family, the transformative power of hope, and the relentless resilience of the human spirit. Through the eyes of a child, we witness the cost of freedom, the price of survival, and the enduring strength of the human heart.

    Love Pain and Money - The Making...

    John Caudwell is one of Britain’s wealthiest, most successful – and most colourful – businessmen.  
     
    John was just six years old when he made a promise to himself that he would make enough money to give huge sums of it away to help his family and others who were struggling with poverty. 
     
    Born in a terraced house in Stoke-on-Trent, Caudwell went from bullied child to insecure trainee engineer at a local Michelin plant to self-made billionaire, befriending Sir Elton John, Eva Longoria, Hugh Grant and Robbie Williams, who have all taken part in his charity balls to raise money for Caudwell Children. 
     
    It was at a car auction in 1987, the height of Mrs Thatcher’s booming Britain,that he spotted the future. A mobile phone that came in an unwieldy suitcase. Within two decades Caudwell sold his Phones 4u business for £1.46 billion. 
     
    Love, Pain & Money: The Making of a Billionaire retraces the inspirational journey, from the very shaky beginnings of his phone empire to owning yachts, private planes, a fleet of top flight cars, a Jacobean mansion in the Midlands and London’s most expensive home (featured in a Channel 4 documentary). It’s a fascinating insight into the drive, ambition, focus and vision required to become a billionaire. 
     
    It is also a very British story. Caudwell is a man who – despite his vast wealth – still knows the price of a pint of milk, buys his clothes from Marks & Spencer and despite having swapped the Michelin plant for Michelin-starred restaurants and hotels, can often be found in a roadside B&B, eating home-made sandwiches after one of his many cycling expeditions. 
     
    And it is more than merely a rags to riches story. It is a tale of battling endless career misfortunes and overcoming a series of personal tragedies to rise to the top. Failure, disaster and horrendous private heartbreaks are all part of this tale of a troubled child who never won the approval of his father who died when John was a teenager. 
     
    Love, Pain & Money – The Making of a Billionaire is a tale of our times, full of humour, grit, lessons in business and an understanding of what it takes to succeed against all odds.
