  As one of the most recognisable faces in showbiz today, Kerry Katona has seen more than her fair share of ups and downs played out in public. Once labelled ‘the nation's sweetheart,' the Atomic Kitten singer rose from foster care to international stardom but her fall from grace in a haze of drink and drugs was just as dramatic, as she saw her picture-perfect marriage crumble and her career slump.Yet despite all that, it is in the last decade that Kerry has faced up to her biggest personal challenges. Her marriage to third husband George Kay was to test her to the absolute limit. Stuck in an abusive relationship she felt powerless to leave, the cycle of despair was only ended when George died aged just 39 in 2019, found in a hotel room eating a sock filled with cocaine.This is a harrowing, brutally honest life story yet, at its heart, ultimately an uplifting tale of hope, strength and survival. With the support of her now-fiancé Ryan and her children, Kerry has had to show sheer grit and determination to get her life and career back on track despite the darkest of circumstances. After years of desperately trying to find her way, she has finally started to feel – in the words of her most famous song – Whole Again.

  An Eagle's Odyssey - My Decade...

  The first English translation of one German military pilot’s experience before, during, and after World War II flying for the Third Reich.   Johannes Kaufmann’s career was an exciting one. He may have been an ordinary Luftwaffe pilot but he served during an extraordinary time with distinction. Serving for a decade through both peacetime and wartime, his memoir sheds light on the immense pressures of the job.   In this never-before-seen translation of a rare account of life in the Luftwaffe, Kaufmann takes the reader through his time in service, from his involvement in the annexation of the Rhineland, the attack on Poland, fighting against American heavy bombers in the Defense of the Reich campaign. He also covers his role in the battles of Arnhem and the Ardennes, and the D-Day landings, detailing the intricacies of military tactics, flying fighter planes and the challenges of war.   His graphic descriptions of being hopelessly lost in thick cloud above the Alps, and of following a line of telegraph poles half-buried in deep snow while searching for a place to land on the Stalingrad front are proof that the enemy was not the only danger he had to face during his long flying career.   Kaufmann saw out the war from the early beginnings of German expansion right through to surrender to the British in 1945. An Eagle’s Odyssey is a compelling and enlightening read, Kaufmann’s account offers a rarely heard perspective on one of the core experiences of the Second World War.

  A balanced account of game changes, conflicts and ambitions. The fall from popular grace of the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne as a consequence of his marriage to a beautiful and dynamic Hollywood starlet of colour makes for fascinating reading in best-selling royal author Lady Colin Campbell's balanced account. Lady Colin knows her royal history and psychology, and as the first seven years of her adult life were spent in the USA she has a foot in both the American and British camps. With unique breadth of insight she goes behind the scenes, speaking to friends, relations, courtiers, and colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic to reveal the most unexpected royal story since the Abdication. She highlights the dilemmas involved and the issues that lurk beneath the surface, as to why the couple decided to step down as senior royals. She analyses the implications of the actions of a young and ambitious couple, in love with each other and with the empowering lure of fame and fortune. She leads the reader through the maze of contradictions, revealing how Californian culture has influenced the couple's conduct. She exposes how they tried and failed to change the royal system by adapting it to their own needs and ambitions, and, upon failing, how they decided to create a new system altogether.
