  WINSTON CHURCHILL 
  Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill’s seemingly evergreen legacy has lived long past his death on January 24, 1965. He was a man who, despite the challenges he faced over the course of his life, showed great determination, intellect, political wisdom, and unparalleled leadership skills. 
  Churchill was born on November 30, 1874, into a world much different than our own, yet there is much we can and should learn from his story. He rose to political prominence before World War I, and over the course of his political career, he came into conflict or alliance with some of history’s other big names, like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, among others. 
  This book aims to provide a quick look into the life, achievements, lessons, and legacy of one of the most prominent leaders in recent memory, Sir Winston Churchill.

  Literature is a world of words and wonder, able to take us on almost unimaginable journeys from the wild and fantastic to the grind and minutiae of life. 
   
  An author’s ideas are his building blocks, his architecture of the mind, building a structure on which all else will rest; the narrative, the characters, the words - those few words that begin the adventure. 
   
  In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem.  In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything.  But ideas, these grains and saplings of the brain, need to roam, to explore and find their perfect literary use vehicle.  Our authors are masters of many literary forms, perhaps known for one but themselves favouring another. 
   
  Story. Poems. Story.  Within these boundaries come all manner of invention and cast of characters.  And, of course, each author has their own way of revealing their own chapter and verse.

  The tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, triggered an unprecedented worldwide outpouring of grief from the public that adored her ever since she was first identified as the girlfriend of the Prince of Wales in 1981. Ever since August 31, 1997, people have struggled to account for the depth of the impact she seemed to have on people’s hearts and minds. 
  First the little girl who felt that she had disappointed her family by not being a boy, then the schoolgirl who preferred pranks to studying, then the shy kindergarten teacher who won the heart of Prince Charles, Diana’s anonymity ended forever only a few weeks after she began dating the heir to the British throne. Over the next sixteen years, she lived her life in the public eye—a smiling, dutiful royal wife and mother, who eventually rocked the monarchy to its foundations by disclosing the details of her troubled marriage to the world, shining a light on the hidden life of the notoriously private royal family. 
  This book examines the contrast between the private Diana and the public princess—the troubled yet radiant woman who believed that one must suffer in order to have compassion for others.

  My story is no different from countless other youngsters. I could easily have fallen into a life of crime, violence, alcohol, drugs and despair. I could have chosen to follow the negative path and repeat the cycle but instead I chose to dwell on the positive moments. It really doesn't matter where you start but where you finish.
  
  Under the smiling face of 'Glasgow's Miles Better', poverty and violence still loom large. Not everyone makes it out. But Scott Kyle did.
  
  Latch-key kid from the back streets of Rutherglen to award-winning actor and producer on red carpets around the world, Scott's story is one of hope.
  
  With unflinching honesty and heart, he shares his journey, from a boy searching for belonging to a man determined to give back.
  
  It's Not Where You Start is more than a story of survival – it's a testament to the transformative power of love, laughter and compassion.
