Loss and What it Taught Me About Living - A Memoir of Love Grief Hope and Healing

Ralph Riegel, Tracey Corbett-Lynch

Sinopse

Murder, cancer, Covid-19, an asthma attack and heart attacks: Tracey Corbett-Lynch has encountered loss in all its guises and has had to learn how to cope with life at its most difficult and overwhelming.
In Loss and What It Taught Me About Living, Tracey describes these tragic losses, their impact on her and how she learnt to live alongside them with strength and grace. She recounts how she coped when it all seemed too much to bear and looks at how we can emerge from suffering forever changed by loss but filled with optimism.
No two grief journeys are the same, but, as Tracey discovered, some of the stations along the route are. Her moving and uplifting story will offer comfort, practical advice and a ray of hope to anyone suffering their own loss, whatever that might be.

Evolution of a Baby Boomer -...

Joyce Fidler

"Joyce Fidler's life is one of many twists and turns and highs and lows. Sometimes she'll shock you; other times she'll bring you to tears. If you have an alcohol or drug addiction problem, her book will uplift you and encourage you to make important changes in your life. It's not a preachy book; instead, it's very honest and forthright." Terry Hassman-Paulin, Editor at Silver Burdett Ginn (ret.) 
"A memoir of a frenzied woman" Frank Dungan, TV Producer/Emmy Winning Writer 
"Joyce Fidler tells a mind-blowing story. Being a musician myself who tripped through that era I knew from the first that this was real, but Fidler's unique POV made it a brand-new experience. I didn't think that I could be shocked, but particular parts of her story left me wide-eyed. The spiritual message left me teary-eyed." Gene Herd, Executive Director of the Hollywood Radio and Television Society (ret.)

Out of My Depth

Anne Darwin, David Leigh

From ordinary housewife to Canoe Widow, Panama and prison.

After years of remaining silent, Anne Darwin finally reveals the truth behind the crime that tore her family apart.

When Anne Darwin told the world and her family that her husband, John, had disappeared while canoeing in the North Sea, her life changed forever.

She had just lied to the police, the press, her friends and neighbours, insurance companies and her own sons.

While her husband hid in a bedsit in their rental house next door, Anne had to face the music. She claimed the life insurance payouts, endured the police questioning, accepted the consolations and left the country she loved to start her life again.

But why, when she had been perfectly happy with her lifestyle, knowing her actions would hurt those she held most dear, did she do it?

Now, for the first time, Anne opens up about an extraordinary chain of events: how she became involved in her husband's hare-brained scheme, her life and marriage, her harrowing time behind bars, and the runaway train of deceit and guilt that followed her plan to defraud insurance companies with the aid of a canoe.

Anne Darwin has done much to repair her relationship with her two sons, and is now a big part of their lives, and the lives of her four grandchildren. She works for an animal charity and lives alone in York. Her co-author is David Leigh, an award-winning journalist, who developed a remarkable relationship with Anne after uncovering her crime in Panama. He won the London Press Club's Scoop Of The Year Award and the National Association of Press Agencies news story of the year for his reporting on John Darwin Canoe Man.

On Writing and Failure - Or the...

Stephen Marche

Writing is, and always will be, an act defined by failure. The best plan is to just get used to it.
		 
Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer describes the defining role played by rejection in literary endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer’s life. Along with his own history of rejection, Marche offers stories from the history of writerly failure, from Ovid’s exile and Dostoevsky’s mock execution to James Baldwin's advice just to endure, where living with the struggle and the pointlessness of writing is the point.
