  ‘I have been learning to heal and reclaim my identity. I will not wear the title of his victim any longer. I am a Survivor.’ 
  ‘I learnt I had the strength and courage to walk away, because I’m worth it.’ 
  In Violence to Victory each story starts with a fairy tale of living in the beautiful Australian bush... and turns into a nightmare. Ten women describe their unique experiences in rural, regional or remote Australia, in the silent spaces where everyone knows your business and yet doesn’t want to get involved. The vastness and lack of local services became yet another tool in the perpetrator’s arsenal of physical, verbal and sexual abuse, coercion, and emotional and financial abuse. 
  Each woman reached a turning point. They realised they mattered and unearthed their determination to escape and rebuild their lives. You will be inspired by each woman’s fortitude and be alerted to the red flags that are often initially dismissed by victims and those who support them. 
  Violence to Victory is not just about surviving violence. It is about reclaiming identity, rediscovering joy, and rebuilding a future once thought unreachable. This book does not offer simple answers. Instead, it offers the truth. It reveals the complexity of loving, leaving, healing and beginning again. 
  Violence to Victory will leave you shocked yet inspired to take action – to reduce barriers, provide support, recognise the red flags, volunteer, and give back to change lives.

  Broken Promises - Black Women...

  The Civil War is often remembered as a fight for freedom and union. Still, for countless Black women, it was also a time of unimaginable danger, betrayal, and silence. Broken Promises uncovers the forgotten stories of women whose voices were stifled, whose pain was dismissed, and whose search for justice was denied. 
  Through vivid case histories and gripping narrative, this book reveals how the courts, the army, and even the nation itself consistently failed to protect Black women from sexual violence. While white womanhood was fiercely guarded, Black women were left exposed, forced to endure both the brutality of assault and the cruelty of disbelief. 
  More than a history of crimes left unpunished, Broken Promises is a powerful exploration of resilience, truth, and the limits of justice in America’s most defining conflict. It asks difficult questions about whose lives were valued, whose suffering was ignored, and what freedom truly meant for the women at the center of it all. 
  Bold, unflinching, and deeply human, this book gives voice to the women history tried to erase, and forces us to confront the promises of justice that were never kept.

  In the warm predawn darkness of June 22, 1941, 3 million men waited along a front hundreds of miles long, stretching from the Baltic coast of Poland to the Balkans. Ahead of them in the darkness lay the Soviet Union, its border guarded by millions of Red Army troops echeloned deep throughout the huge spaces of Russia. This massive gathering of Wehrmacht soldiers from Adolf Hitler's Third Reich and his allied states – notably Hungary and Romania – stood poised to carry out Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's surprise attack against the country of his putative ally, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.  
  	Though Germany was technically Russia’s ally, Stalin had no delusions that they were friends. Instead, he used this time to build up his forces for what he saw as an inevitable invasion. First, on the heels of the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Stalin had his troops invade and reclaim the land Russia had lost in World War I. Next he turned his attention to Finland, which was only 100 miles from the newly named Leningrad.  He initially tried to negotiate with the Finnish government for some sort of treaty of mutual support. When this failed he simply invaded. While the giant Russian army ultimately won, the fact that little Finland held them off for three months demonstrated how poorly organized the bigger force was. 
  What Stalin did not realize was that Hitler had simply overstretched himself in Yugoslavia and only planned to delay the invasion by a few weeks.  The Soviets were so caught by surprise at the start of the attack that the Germans were able to push several hundred miles into Russia across a front that stretched dozens of miles long, reaching the major cities of Leningrad and Sevastopol in just three months.

  A 13 pamphlet series by 18th century Enlightenment philosopher/author Thomas Paine, published between 1776 to 1783 during and immediately following the American Revolution, gathered into one volume in 1882 by Moncure D. Conway. Each essay, plus 2 inserts, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace. Replete with quotable quotes, the first pamphlet, Crisis I, begins with the now-familiar words "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." Paine, an Englishman living in the colonies, signed his pamphlets anonymously as "Common Sense." ( Michele Fry)

  This New York Times bestseller shares the rich history of the White House grounds, revealing how the story of the garden is also the story of America. The 18-acres surrounding the White House have been an unwitting witness to history—kings and queens have dined there, bills and treaties have been signed, and presidents have landed and retreated. Throughout it all, the grounds have remained not only beautiful, but also a powerful reflection of American trends. In All the Presidents' Gardens bestselling author Marta McDowell tells the untold history of the White House grounds with historical and contemporary photographs, vintage seeds catalogs, and rare glimpses into Presidential pastimes. History buffs will revel in the fascinating tidbits about Lincoln’s goats, Ike's putting green, Jackie's iconic roses, Amy Carter's tree house, and Trump's controversial renovations. Gardeners will enjoy the information on the plants whose favor has come and gone over the years and the gardeners who have been responsible for it all. As one head gardener put it, “What’s great about the job is that our trees, our plants, our shrubs, know nothing about politics.”
