Stronger Than Fear

Richard Trekasis

Richard Tregaskis considered Stronger Than Fear to be the most important book he ever wrote about World War II because it strikes closer to the heart of war. It stands well after the years because it hits into the basic human values involved in war, aside from politics or patriotism. This is RT’s greatest war novel told in less than 30,000 words. The only immortality, the lasting things about this life, were honor, decency, courage, the intangibles of the spirit. Moments of such are the only permanent things in the transient world of war and the man who rose to them were the only ones who really lived. 
World War II street fighting in Germany reminded Richard Tregaskis of the jungle campaigning he had seen on Guadalcanal and other South Pacific islands. The enemy fought hard in his home ground. Everything was close in, the rows of houses were like trees and street-corners were like thickets, and every house was a potential sniper’s nest. As RT accompanied the platoon of ten men to which he was attached, he reflected on one central question: to a veteran, what does it mean when fighting becomes a way of life and peace is only a dream?

Finally Free

From USA TODAY bestselling Author Lynne Gentry comes a heartwarming peek inside a prickly mother-daughter relationship turned upside down.
"This series is not about dying. It’s about joyously, lovingly, energetically living." ~Amazon Reviewer
Sometimes the only way forward is to forget the past.
Returning to the Texas hill country was the right thing to do—or so I told myself. But putting my life on hold to care for my aging mother, who’s become as sharp-tongued as she is forgetful, requires the patience of a saint, which, according to Momma, I will never be.
Leaving my teenage daughter with her philandering father was out of the question, so I insisted Aria move to Texas with me. I hope I’ve not made another mistake by allowing Aria to experience her grandmother’s mental decline. It is comforting to watch music bond these two with the same power it used to bind me and Momma. It’s amazing how Momma can’t remember where she put her shoes, but she can still play complex musical scores. The doctor says nothing can stop the thick fog hijacking my mother’s mind. But I can no more abandon the hope that Momma will forgive me before she completely forgets me than I can abandon her.
Brimming with wit, authenticity, and southern charm, FINALLY FREE is the inspirational and emotional journey of a family whose only way forward is to forget the past.
You’ll have to laugh with these women to keep from crying.
