  Becoming Whole is the raw, unfiltered testimony of a man who has lived many lives—and is finally telling the truth about all of them. 
  Born into the strict world of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Eric Darnell Love grew up navigating silence, complexity, and spiritual pressure long before he understood what freedom really was. As a young Black boy in Chicago, his early years were marked by family struggle, religious rigidity, and the unspoken weight of trying to survive emotionally while everyone expected him to stay strong. 
  When he left home as a teenager to start over in Minnesota, Eric discovered resilience he didn’t know he had. His journey took him through military service in the United States Air Force, early fatherhood, marriage, divorce, and eventually into a second marriage that has lasted fourteen years—one filled with deep love, challenges, emotional disconnect, healing, and the hard work of rebuilding trust. 
  A 100% disabled veteran living with PTSD, anxiety, and the emotional aftermath of service and trauma, Eric writes with honesty and a voice that is unpolished on purpose. His story is not sanitized. It is not softened. It is true. 
  In this first volume of his memoir series, Eric shares:Growing up as a child in Jehovah’s WitnessesNavigating family dysfunction, loyalty, and the search for identityBecoming a husband and father while battling trauma, responsibility, and expectationsThe quiet grief of losing loved ones—and the strength required to keep goingHis battle to reclaim his voice, his faith, his emotional freedom, and his manhoodHis awakening—spiritually, mentally, and relationally—as he learns what it means to truly become whole 
  This is the story of a man who carried everyone’s burdens but his own for far too long… 
  and finally chose healing over silence.

  The silence has been kept for too long. Now, the truth demands to be told. In this raw and haunting fictionalized memoir, the author pulls back the curtain on a childhood riddled with secrets, suffering, and survival. She and her sister endured a world no child should ever know a life of fear, cruelty, and unimaginable pain, hidden behind closed doors.

But even in the darkest moments, she found strength-strength to endure, to fight, and to rise above the horrors that tried to break her. With unwavering faith and resilience, she carried a truth too painful to speak-until now. This is not just a story of survival; it's a reckoning. A revelation of the shadows that shaped her past and the courage it took to finally break the silence. The questions may never have answers, the scars may never fade, but one thing remains certain: she refused to be defeated. Some stories are too painful to remember. This one is too powerful to forget

  Bird - Three extraordinary...

  Tracey Curtis-Taylor has created headlines around the world with three epic flights in a 1942 Boeing Stearman biplane. Paying homage to two historic female aviators, she flew from Cape Town to Goodwood in 2013, from London to Australia in 2015 and, two years later, completed a transcontinental flight across the USA, after surviving a plane crash during the expedition. 
   
  But her daring exploits came at a huge personal cost. 
   
  From the moment the Light Aircraft Association (LAA) awarded her a prestigious trophy for ‘navigation, a feat of aviation, endurance and tenacity’, several men with personal grudges made it their mission not just to strip Tracey of her award but to destroy her reputation. 
   
  Now, for the first time and with searing honesty, Tracey tells, in breath-taking detail, the remarkable story of how she overcame extreme adversity to complete her three epic journeys. And she charts the bitter campaign waged against her, revealing the rank misogyny and hypocrisy that exists in British aviation. 
   
  In Bird, her unique and action-packed memoir, she also tells how: 
   
  She cheated death twice – once in a high-speed boating accident and again when her historic Stearman crashed in the Arizona desert. 
  Her unconventional upbringing sparked her spirit of adventure – but a shocking secret drove her family apart 
  She fulfilled her dreams only after overcoming a series of near-critical setbacks 
  Tracey took her first flying lesson at 16 but it was in New Zealand where she properly learned to fly and had her first taste of piloting historic aircraft 
   
  Overcoming a series of traumatic events, including a failed marriage, Tracey returned to England and, in 2009, was determined to emulate the heroics of Lady Heath, the first UK woman to hold a pilot’s licence and the first person to fly from Cape Town to London in an open-cockpit aircraft.

  Jose "Pepin" Almeida is an unlikely hero. He never acted in the movies, never threw the winning pass, never sat in high office. Even his involvement in the event that u-turned his life, the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, failed and became a national embarrassment. 
  He laments, "We were in a helpless and hopeless situation." But Pepin Almeida soon, out of necessity, created his own hope. Denied all tangible things- clothes, family, food, he discovered his soul, his only true possession.
