  Donna Bevan-Lee had a tough childhood. When her father was feeling playful, he roped her by the foot like a rodeo calf, yanking her to the ground every time the rope connected. In darker moods, he did far worse, his brutality excused by a complicit church. The abuse she suffered had profound and lasting consequences. 
  Too many adults have similar histories. Roughly a quarter of American children experience complex trauma resulting from abuse, neglect, catastrophic illness, or other adversity. Because such trauma affects the developing brain, it's not something we outgrow; it permanently alters our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behavior, often without our awareness. It derails our plans, sabotages our relationships, and convinces us that we're unworthy of happiness. It makes us vulnerable to addiction, obesity. depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and early death. It is a challenge like no other. 
  Dr. Bevan-Lee met the challenge of her childhood and helped other survivors to meet theirs. Now she has distilled her history. cutting-edge research, and four decades of clinical experience into a book for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Full of up-to-date information, practical help, compelling stories, and clear-eyed encouragement, this book is a comprehensive guide to recognizing and overcoming childhood trauma, written by someone who has been there.

  In the Second World War, Poznan was a key river crossing and railway junction on the Polish-German border. When the alarm was given indicating the Red Army's approach in January 1945, the city's 80-100,000 German civilians were speedily evacuated, leaving a garrison of some 15,000 men, mostly poorly-armed infantry, to face the rigors of a siege conducted by a massively superior and ruthless enemy anxious to acquire this transport center, which was vital for the advance on Berlin. 
   
   
   
  This is the account of Eastern Front veteran Richard Siegert, the gunner and later commander of the defenders' sole Tiger tank. Since the death of the driver in a futile attempt to escape from a PoW camp in Russia just after the end of the war, Siegert is the only survivor of that crew able to pass its record on to posterity. His account details how the crew fought gallantly against impossible odds, even when the Tiger was immobilized and could only act as a stationary antitank gun post or pillbox during the last heroic days' fighting for the citadel.

  Seasons of Sobriety - poetry +...

  Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
  with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
  enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
  and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
  well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
  person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
  the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
  represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
  renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
  relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
  reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
  this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.
