The Broken Dreams

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the heart of the American Dream, where skyscrapers pierce the sky and city lights illuminate the night, there lies a hidden world of despair and struggle. "The Broken Dreams" takes you on a poignant journey into the lives of Wendy and Amanda, two women whose lives took an unexpected turn, leading them to the unforgiving abyss of homelessness.

Before reaching the age of thirty, Wendy and Amanda found themselves stripped of their dreams of lasting love, security, and a place to call home. Through their eyes, we witness the harsh realities of life on the streets, the constant battle for survival, and the dehumanizing effects of poverty.

Their stories are a stark reminder that homelessness can happen to anyone, regardless of age, race, or background. They challenge us to question our assumptions about poverty and homelessness, and to recognize the humanity of those who are less fortunate.

But Wendy and Amanda's stories are not just tales of despair. They are also stories of resilience and strength, of the indomitable human spirit that refuses to be broken. Despite the hardships they face, they cling to the belief that they can reclaim their lives, that they can find a way out of the darkness.

"The Broken Dreams" is a powerful indictment of the systemic failures that allow homelessness to persist. It is a call to action, a plea for compassion and understanding. It demands that we confront the harsh truths about our society and work towards creating a future where everyone has a safe and stable place to live.

This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about social justice, poverty, and the human condition. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it, and it will challenge you to see the world in a new light.

Africa Is Not a Country - Notes...

Dipo Faloyin

So often, Africa has been depicted simplistically as a uniform land of famines and safaris, poverty and strife, stripped of all nuance. In this bold and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective, weaving a vibrant tapestry of stories that bring to life Africa's rich diversity, communities, and histories. 
 
 
 
Starting with an immersive description of the lively and complex urban life of Lagos, Faloyin unearths surprising truths about many African countries' colonial heritage and tells the story of the continent's struggles with democracy through seven dictatorships. With biting wit, he takes on the phenomenon of the white savior complex and brings to light the damage caused by charity campaigns of the past decades. Entering into the rivalries that energize the continent, Faloyin engages in the heated debate over which West African country makes the best jollof rice and describes the strange, incongruent beauty of the African Cup of Nations. With an eye toward the future promise of the continent, he explores the youth-led cultural and political movements that are defining and reimagining Africa on their own terms. 
 
 
 
Africa Is Not a Country celebrates the energy and particularity of the continent's different cultures and communities, treating Africa with the respect it deserves.

Edward Vernon-Harcourt - The...

Tony Vernon-Harcourt

Edward Vernon-Harcourt (1757–1847) was Archbishop of York from 1807 until his death at the age of 90.

 
As a younger son of a wealthy land-owning family, Archbishop Harcourt depended on good family and political connections to make progress in the Church. He had to combine his responsibility for one of the largest dioceses in the Church of England with his duties in parliament and at court and with providing for his family of 16 children. More supportive of reform of both parliament and the church than most of his fellow bishops, Harcourt took steps to improve the training of ordinands in his diocese, encouraged the building of over 100 new churches to cope with population growth in the industrial towns of the West Riding and made some progress in tackling pluralism and non-residence. He was not afraid to stand up for a cause he believed to be right.

 
In this biography, Tony Vernon-Harcourt examines the professional and family life of one of the last aristocratic bishops in the Church of England.
