    Georgia's new husband began acting strangely on their honeymoon. Then he started controlling every aspect of her life and cutting her off from her family and friends. Forbidden to finish her last quarter of university or even play and sing at her beloved piano, she learned to lean deeply on God as she raised their two young sons in this dark environment. 
    The bizarre behavior escalated into mental and physical abuse, and her husband was often hospitalized after being diagnosed first with manic depression, then schizophrenia. Georgia shares her story of hard-won truths learned in seven years of isolation and control. When times were at their worst and she feared for her safety, she battled in prayer and worship. The practice of continual forgiveness set her free and gave her a song in her heart. 
    While this is a story of leaning into God in the midst of deep trials, it is also a story of a new love found. Those going through hard times in a relationship, or who have family members or friends suffering with mental illness, will be encouraged by this true personal account of a woman who learned to walk with God in the midst of her trials.

    Power was not enough for Francisco Franco — he needed a legend. 
    In The Myth of the Caudillo, Davis Truman unveils the untold story of how Spain’s dictator didn’t just win a civil war — he reinvented the past to secure his future. Through propaganda, censorship, and the rewriting of national memory, Franco transformed himself from a ruthless general into “El Caudillo,” the savior Spain supposedly needed. 
    Blending rigorous scholarship with gripping narrative, this groundbreaking work exposes how Franco’s regime weaponized history itself — turning defeat into destiny, and dictatorship into divine mandate. From the manipulation of textbooks to the orchestration of monuments and myths, The Myth of the Caudillo reveals the deliberate creation of a false Spain—one that still haunts the nation today. 
    Drawing on newly uncovered archives and testimonies suppressed for decades, Davis Truman dismantles the story Franco told the world—and the one Spain was forced to believe. 
    A masterful blend of history, politics, and psychology, The Myth of the Caudillo is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power sustains itself — not just through fear, but through the stories we choose to remember.
