Summary

The wife's irrational longing to extract absolute sympathy of taste, opinion and feeling, from her wedded lord, is a baneful growth which is as sure to spring up about the domestic hearth as pursley--named by the Indian, "the white man's foot"--to show itself about the squatter's door. Once rooted it is as hard to eradicate as plantain and red sorrel.
Available since: 02/07/2024.

    We plan our futures in 
    permanent marker.  
    Life uses a red pen. 
    From childhood dreams to societal checklists, we're all handed a script for how life is supposed to go. But what happens when that script is ripped away – by fate, by biology, or by a crisis we didn’t expect?  
    Kelly Donougher always believed she’d be a mum. It wasn’t just expected – it was planned for and dreamed of. The ‘white picket fence’ was her destiny. Until her body decided otherwise.  
    Kelly’s dream collapsed, and she spiralled hard. The gruelling stages of grief, identity loss, and uncertainty ravaged her life. But it also came with an unsuspecting gift: a blank page. 
    Eight years later, Kelly stands firmly on the life she built from scratch – a life that defied the rules, broke the mould, and became more fulfilling than she ever imagined. A life by design.  
    No Fence, No Limits is a powerful, raw, and uplifting story of what happens when we stop living the lives we’re told to want – and start designing the lives we’re meant to live.

    A twin herself, Lisa Crawford Watson believes she has the insight required to mother twins. When infant twins in need of a permanent, stable home come into her life, she falls in love with them and knows what she must do. Mounting obstacles impede the adoption process, and she examines whether such setbacks are signs that she shouldn’t adopt.   
      
    Determined not to give up, Lisa overcomes her doubts and adopts the sisters out of foster care. However, she faces one hardship after another and quickly learns that raising premature drug- and alcohol-exposed babies is a feat of sacrifice and unpredictability. Over the years, the twins wreak havoc on every relationship within the family and on Lisa’s heart. Has adopting the twins done more harm than good? 
      
    What We Wished For: An Adoption Story shares  a woman’s quest to build a loving family. It is a tale of courage, perseverance, and what remains when things don’t go as imagined. This memoir speaks to anyone who has ever struggled with a life-altering decision, one from which there is no turning back.

  • Don’t Ask Me About My Dad: A Memoir of Love Hate and Hope - cover

    Don’t Ask Me About My Dad: A...

    Growing up with him was like being in my own war zone, living in perpetual fear of when the bombs would fall. 
    I was terrified of becoming him, and in moments I could feel I might. He still lives within me grimly like some battered demon spright. And I’m fearful of his shadow. The rage, and his blood. There are some moments when he arrives and I want to tear up the whole world with my bare hands, and all I really want is love. I want him away now. Please. Just go.  
      
    In this extraordinary memoir, Tom Mitchelson offers a deeply moving story of hope and love triumphing over adversity. It is gripping account of what it’s like for a child to grow up in an explosively violent home and explores the enormously complicated relationship Tom had with his dad, well into adulthood.  
    Tom grew up with identical triplet sisters and they would watch as their dad would abuse their mum, shouting obscenities in her face, brutally drag her around the house and inflict other unspeakable cruelties. It went on for years and the family never told a soul.   
    Tom knew his dad was a monster, yet he loved him. He was both friend and foe. Someone to fear and at the same time someone Tom felt he had to defend. When Tom became the protegee of his comprehensive school teacher, that story too turned dark.   
    Tom followed a career in comedy and undercover journalism and it was only after his father’s death, and becoming a father himself, that he could begin to face up to his past, leading him on a powerful journey of self-discovery.   
    Don’t Ask Me About My Dad is an inspirational story of our time: a rare account by someone from a deprived background speaking about the complexities of a defining relationship and finding the restorative power of fatherhood, resilience and, ultimately, how the truth can set you free. 
    This biography is a testament to survival and resilience, a personal journey through grief and bereavement that will leave you in awe of Tom Mitchelson's strength. It's a top pick for anyone interested in autobiography and memoirs, offering a raw and unflinching look into domestic turmoil and the complexities of relationships. 
    For fans of Maggie Hartley (Battered, Broken, Healed), Shannon Kyle (The Race to Truth), Linda Watson-Brown (Don't Say A Word), Katy Weitz (The Girl for the Job), and Anna Ruston (Secret Slave).

    On Thursday, August 28, 1947, a 30-year-old millionaire named Manuel Laureano Rodriguez—Manolete—and a Miura bull named Islero killed each other. The Death of Manolete recounts the extraordinary life and demise of this young bullfighter, from the childhood that made the Spanish boy and the sacrifice that made the man to the girl who brought him love and the acclaim that brought him incredible success. A symbol of Latin pride, valor, and chivalry, Manolete fired the Latin imagination as no one had done since El Cid. But the crowds owned him, and on one fateful afternoon in the town of Linares, he did their bidding—and an untimely death put out the brightest flame in Spain.
