  Finding Margaret is the moving story of journalist and broadcaster Andrew Pierce's search for his birth mother. As he was approaching fifty, Pierce decided that it was finally time to track down his biological mother. He knew that he had lived in a Roman Catholic orphanage in Cheltenham for more than two years and was adopted at the age of three by a family who loved and nurtured him. As his career in journalism flourished and despite feeling like he was betraying the adoptive parents who loved him so much, Pierce began to tentatively search for his birth mother, only to find that she had done everything she could to ensure he would never find her. 
   
  When he finally managed to meet her, the mystery only deepened, leading him to Ireland in search of the man who may or may not have been his father. During his search, Pierce also realises the extent of the mistreatment he suffered at the orphanage and attempts to forge a relationship with the woman who gave him away. 
   
  This candid book is a heartwarming page turner that takes the reader on an extraordinary journey. Full of amusing and arresting anecdotes, at its heart lies the inspirational story of one man's extensive search for his birth mother and what happened when he finally found her.

  Not My Problem: Life with Chronic Illness, Being Dismissed, and How to Take Back Your Strength is a raw, unfiltered look at what it means to live with a chronic illness in a world that often refuses to understand. Caitlyn Ursillo shares her deeply personal journey with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that turned her world upside down overnight. Through heartbreakingly honest storytelling, she exposes the gaslighting, medical dismissal, and societal misconceptions that countless people with chronic illnesses endure every day. 
  From a seemingly routine virus that spiraled into a life-altering diagnosis, to the moments of frustration, grief, and resilience that followed, Caitlyn’s story is one of both struggle and triumph. She challenges the damaging narratives that paint chronic illness as a “choice” or “laziness” and highlights the invisible battles fought behind closed doors—whether it’s pushing through symptoms to care for her son, advocating for herself in doctor’s offices, or simply trying to be understood. 
  This book is more than just a memoir; it’s a battle cry for those who have been dismissed, a guide for navigating the maze of medical bureaucracy, and a beacon of solidarity for anyone feeling lost in their health journey. With warmth, humor, and unflinching honesty, Caitlyn reminds readers that their pain is real, their fight is valid, and their strength is immeasurable. 
  For anyone who has ever been told “it’s all in your head,” this book is proof that it’s not—and that you are not alone.

  Life for a World War II paratrooper was grave and perilous; John H. Canfield's experience was no different. However, this young man found himself in so many crazy—sometimes humorous—situations that he almost forgot about how dangerous it was. 
   
   
   
  Filled with pranksters and superiors full of bravado and an unfortunate brush with racial bigotry with a fellow African American soldier, Canfield shares his many stories from basic training and jump school.

Patton, Canfield shares a wealth of experiences from his WWII tour of the European theater. 
   
   
   
  In Small Victories in a Great Big War, John H. Canfield shows that half the battle is surviving, and that he did. With bravery and flair, Canfield returned home to Connecticut with more than a few amusing anecdotes.
