  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.

  Beyond the Midnight Express: The Real Story 
  From American Dream to Turkish Nightmare – A Harrowing True Story of Survival and Escape 
  In 1970, Billy Hayes was a young American with dreams of adventure who made one fateful decision that would change his life forever. Attempting to smuggle hashish from Istanbul back to America, Billy was caught at the airport and thrown into the brutal Turkish prison system. What began as a four-year sentence suddenly became a thirty-year nightmare when Turkey's Supreme Court changed his charges. 
  This is the complete, unvarnished true story behind the famous book and controversial film "Midnight Express" – told here with unprecedented accuracy and detail. Follow Billy's incredible journey from his first successful smuggling runs to his dramatic arrest, his descent into the hellish world of Turkish prisons, and his desperate attempts at survival in a foreign land where he didn't speak the language. 
  Witness his transfer to the island prison of Imralı, surrounded by treacherous seas that served as the ultimate security system. Experience the psychological torture, the violence, the loss of hope, and the tragic death of his loyal friend Patrick, who died trying to help him escape. 
  But this story doesn't end in despair. On a stormy October night in 1975, Billy executed one of the most daring prison escapes in modern history – crossing dangerous waters in a small wooden boat, navigating hostile borders, and ultimately reaching freedom after five years of captivity. 
  More than just an escape story, this is a raw examination of the human spirit under extreme duress, the price of poor decisions, and the controversial aftermath of fame that followed Billy's return to America.
