The Headhunter's Granddaughter

Terry Iwanski

Pedo, the central character of "The Headhunter's Granddaughter", grew up deep in the jungles of Borneo, Malaysia. Her parents gave her away to her father's brother, a cruel man who used her for child labor, tapping rubber trees to make money. Her parents had too many mouths to feed, twelve children in all. Pedo wouldn't be missed. 
Her grandfather, the "Headhunter", cared for her by recruiting village women to breastfeed her and their children. During WWII, the Japanese invaded Borneo and tried to take over their village, and Pedo's grandfather practiced his 'skills' with a vengeance. 
As she grew older, Pedo was still naked to the world until one of the village women took pity on her and gave her an old white smock, which she wore for many years. She still didn't have any underwear or shoes. 
The years pass, and then a middle-aged American man walks by the Salon one afternoon. She smiled and waved 'hello' to him, hoping to attract another customer. That gesture was the beginning of the next fruitful adventure in her life.

Turn Toward the Storm - How I...

Anónimo

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
He almost pulled the trigger. Not because he wanted to die—but because he couldn’t find a reason to keep surviving. 
On the outside, Bevan Cox looked like a man who had it all: career success, physical strength, social admiration. But on the inside, he was drowning in a storm of childhood trauma, betrayal, codependent relationships, and a justice system weaponized against him. When the noise became too loud to silence, and his final goodbye was moments away from being uploaded, one divine interruption stopped it. 
This book is that story. 
Told with gut-wrenching honesty and zero sugarcoating, Bevan pulls back the curtain on what it means to rebuild your life from rock bottom. Through false arrests, trauma bonds, narcissistic abuse, and suicidal ideation, he doesn’t just survive—he heals. And in doing so, he offers a roadmap for anyone carrying invisible scars they’ve been taught to ignore. 
You’ll walk with him through jail cells, therapy rooms, fitness competitions, and the quiet moments when he sits with family becomes real. You’ll learn how to set boundaries, rewire beliefs, dismantle the ego, and reclaim the version of yourself that’s too afraid to reach. And most of all, you’ll learn that peace is not a reward for the favored—it’s a decision for the free. 
If your pain has ever whispered that your story is over, this book is here to tell you: it’s just beginning.
