  Based on a true story, When I Grow Rich, Say the Bells at Shoreditch is a profoundly moving portrait of a working-class mother’s endurance, love, and sacrifice in turn-of-the-century London. 
   
  Born in Shoreditch in 1866, Rosa Marie Twitchett grew up in the shadow of the Industrial Revolution, where coal smoke, illness, and poverty shaped the lives of East London’s poor. Raised by a resilient father and haunted by her mother`s early death in an asylum, Rosa is no stranger to hardship. As she comes of age, she finds brief moments of love and companionship, only to lose them to drink, disease, or circumstance. 
   
  By 1904, Rosa is a widow in all but name, raising four children alone in a cramped tenement. With no financial support or legal standing, she turns to one of the few institutions available to the destitute: Dr. Barnardo’s Homes. There, she is faced with an agonizing decision—give up her sons in the hope that they might be fed, educated, and spared the life of struggle she cannot shield them from. 
   
  This story is not about queens or suffragettes or empires won and lost. It is about the women who scrubbed floors, stitched hems, and endured. It is about the ache of parting, the grit of survival, and the love that outlives separation. Through Rosa’s eyes, we see the invisible cost of poverty—and the fierce, unyielding heart of a mother determined to give her children more than the world ever gave her. 
   
  With extensive historical detail and quiet emotional force, When I Grow Rich, Say the Bells at Shoreditch shines a light on a forgotten corner of British history and offers a  tribute to those who endured

  Harry Lenga was born to a family of Chassidic Jews in Kozhnitz, Poland. The proud sons of a watchmaker, Harry and his two brothers, Mailekh and Moishe, studied their father's trade at a young age. Upon the German invasion of Poland, when the Lenga family was upended, Harry and his brothers never anticipated that the tools acquired from their father would be the key to their survival. 
   
   
    
  Under the most devastating conditions imaginable—with death always imminent—fixing watches for the Germans in the ghettos and brutal slave labor camps of occupied Poland and Austria bought their lives over and over again. From Wolanow and Starachowice to Auschwitz and Ebensee, Harry, Mailekh, and Moishe endured, bartered, worked, prayed, and lived to see liberation. 
   
   
    
  Derived from more than a decade of interviews with Harry Lenga, conducted by his own son Scott and others, The Watchmakers is Harry's heartening and unflinchingly honest first-person account of his childhood, the lessons learned from his own father, his harrowing tribulations, and his inspiring life before, during, and after the war. It is a singular and vital story, told from one generation to the next—and a profoundly moving tribute to brotherhood, fatherhood, family, and faith.

  A day in the life of a student nurse, what could possibly go wrong? If you're training to be a nurse right now, or just fancy an insight into what they do, read this book. It will tell you that sleepless nights from constant worrying is absolutely normal. To make mistakes and want the ground to swallow you up then get over them; this is normal. To eat and drink very little all day and suffer with constipation; this is, yes you guessed it: normal. 
   
  No one tells you anything when you sign up. In fact, they forget to tell you very important details that actually make you believe you are losing your mind. Delirium is such a thing. But what will come out of this is a degree in nursing, followed by a registration which will give you the entitlement to being called a registered nurse-adults or children’s depends on what you chose. For me it’s an adult registered nurse. Don’t get overly excited you will have to pay £120 every year to have it renewed. You will need to be in a union of some sort, which equals more cost. On a lighter note the memories, the friendships and the experiences you receive, nursing profession: I love you.

  In Legends, Lore, & Longings, a curated treasury of short fiction, classic American authors spin tales that blur the line between myth and memory, past and present. 
  Step into the shadows of early America, where legends breathe, secrets stir, and the veil between the ordinary and the otherworldly grows thin… 
  From eerie apparitions and buried treasures to timeless moral dilemmas and wistful longings for what was—or what might have been—these stories reflect a nation’s restless spirit and its 
  yearning for identity, wonder, and meaning. Supernatural encounters, psychological riddles, and biting satire are nestled beside poignant meditations on change, belonging, and the human
