author Teena Stewart will help you name your hurts, face the
barriers that stand in the way of a healthy relationship, and
forgive even the unforgivable. Learn how to cultivate a friendship,
communicate more effectively, and become the change you want to
see. There is hope for restoration and renewal.Click here to listen

"If at all possible, send or take your household animals into the
country in advance of an emergency. If you cannot place them in the
care of neighbours, it really is kindest to have them destroyed."
Joanna Ryan's father has gone off to war, leaving her in the care
of her step-mother, a woman more concerned with having a good time
than being any sort of parent to her. But then she finds a puppy,
left for dead, and Joanna becomes determined to save him, sharing
her meagre rations with him. But, in a time of war, pets are only
seen as an unnecessary burden and she is forced to hide her new
friend, Harry, from her step-mother and the authorities. With bombs
falling over Bristol and with the prospect of evacuation on the
horizon, can they stay together and keep each other safe? A
gripping, heartwarming historical saga from bestselling author
Lizzie Lane. Praise for Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a
storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco
Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a
must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the
door to a past of factory girls, redolent with life-affirming
friendship, drama, and choices that are as relevant today as they
were then.' Catrin Collier 'If you want an exciting, authentic
historical saga then look no further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J
Miller
Vinnie has always been different. But Vinnie is a survivor...A
childhood accident robbed Vinnie of his memories, making him
sensitive and anxious, and his difference soon attracted bullies.
If it wasn't for his family and his brother Frank, Vinnie wouldn't
have survived. But as the boys grow up, and after the devastating
loss of their parents, Vinnie finds himself increasingly involved
in violent situations whenever he's with Frank. Is this the type of
man he's become, or can the love of a remarkable woman teach him to
embrace life? When Vinnie is accused of a terrible crime, and looks
set for a long stretch behind bars, fragments of his memory start
to return and he begins to unravel his past. Who was his mother?
What kind of a man is his brother, Frank? And why does death
surround them? Things are not as they seem, but Vinnie can survive
anything... Ross Greenwood is back with this shocking, page-turning
glimpse into the criminal underworld. This book was previously

spiced with a lot of humour.' author Kath Middleton
