Summary

An autobiography written by a woman who kept things sweet because she was afraid of her tempestuous husband. She had twenty-six years of putting up with his frightening outbursts, but it only took six words spoken by him to make her leave her marriage behind.

Her life always seemed to run in threes. Three boys, three scary journeys abroad alone, third time lucky before she finally found the courage to file for divorce.

This book is aimed at both women and men who feel they haven't got the coping skills to change part or all of their lives.

They may feel trapped but fear they wouldn't cope if they made that change or left their current life behind, when in fact, they are probably the ones doing all the coping anyway!

Available since: 06/19/2026.

Print length: 188 pages.

My son reminded me that it must get worse before it gets better, that there is a silver lining in everywhere we go and everything we do, yet it is on us to choose to see it or not! There were days where we thought this is it… this is the end of the tunnel and hey no light here! And there, right there at rock bottom is where I witnessed, experienced and lived the true definition of…rise again.

Abbey Girls: two sisters give a hilarious and poignant account of boarding school life in Ireland of the 1950s and 1960s. 
Between the ages of 11 and 17, Mary and Valerie Behan attended a boarding school for Catholic girls in Dublin, Ireland called Loreto Abbey Rathfarnham. Founded in 1841, "The Abbey" served as the Mother House for the Loreto Order of nuns, who established convents throughout the world to provide education to thousands of young girls. Now in their sixties, Mary and Valerie began a correspondence about their years at the Abbey. Although they shared many of the same experiences, to their astonishment and delight, they found that their memories of boarding school were substantially different. Abbey Girls recounts Mary and Valerie's school days in a series of letters that describe a unique, cloistered world governed by religion and tradition.

My sister spent her last years in a rest home and I visited her every Monday. She asked me, whether I had thought about writing another book, and I said yes - in fact I have the first two words: "Yes Sister" 
When I got home, I thought I should get on and write the book, so my sister would be able to enjoy it. I wrote a chapter each week until the book was finished. I took each new chapter to my sister week by week. The topic of the book is my life story from the time I started nursing in 1947 until the birth of our third child in 1956.I added the pencil sketches later.

Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.

According to Stefan Zweig, no contemporary author, not even Marx or Nietzsche, delivered the radical spiritual shock that Tolstoy's works gave millions and millions of people around the world. But which Tolstoy are we talking about? For Zweig it is the essayist Tolstoy, the radical thinker and incorruptible anarchist. The Tolstoy who claims that the state is the great cover-up of social injustice through a complex system of violence based on parliaments, prisons, judges, tax collectors, the police and armies. The Tolstoy, who asserts that the religious and moral convictions of every individual are inalienable and that no outside power can establish their domain there. This audiobook contains an English translation of an essay about Tolstoy written by Stefan Zweig in his 1928 book „Drei Dichter ihres Lebens: Casanova, Stendhal, Tolstoi“. The biographical study, which does not skimp on criticism, offers an interesting perspective on what is probably the most important Russian novelist of the 19th century.
