THE INSTANTÂ NEW YORK TIMESÂ BESTSELLER âIn the pursuit
of authenticity, of accurate history and undeniable courage, no
words matter more than, âI was there.â Read Luck of the
Draw and the life of Frank Murphy and ponder this: how did
those boys do such things?â Tom Hanks The epic true story of an
American hero who flew during WWII, soon to be featured in the
upcoming Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks TV Series, Masters of
the Air. Beginning on August 17, 1942, American heavy bomber crews
of the Eighth Air Force took off for combat in the hostile skies
over occupied Europe. The final price was staggering. 4,300 B-17s
and B-24s failed to return; nearly 28,000 men were taken prisoner
or interned in a neutral country, and a further 26,000 made the
ultimate sacrifice. Luck of the Draw is more than a war
story. Itâs the incredible, inspiring story of Frank Murphy, one
of the few survivors from the 100th Bombardment Group, who cheated
death for months in a German POW camp after being shot out of his
B-17 Flying Fortress. Now with a new foreword written by his
granddaughter Chloe Melas, of CNN, and daughter Elizabeth Murphy.

A moving illustrated biography of the late Joe Delaney, an NFL star
in the making who valued helping others above all else On the
football field, Joe Delaney possessed all the qualities of a great
running back. He was fast with keen instincts, a burst of red and
gold as he sprinted toward the end zone for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Off the field, he embodied the qualities of a great person:
generous, hard-working, humble, and honest. Helping people was
simply second nature to Joe. In 1983, on a summer's day in
Louisiana, Joe Delaney gave his life trying to save three children
from drowning in a pond. While others stood by, Joe didn't hesitate
before rushing into the water, though he was not a strong swimmer
himself. Now, football fans of all teams honor his legacy as an
extraordinarily brave young man who cared fiercely for his
community. Written with the support of the Delaney family,
Heroic Heart is a lushly illustrated, lyrical story of selflessness
and courage. Adults and children alike will learn about the
remarkable life of this compassionate NFL star.

International Conciliation, No. 360, May, 1940.
International Conciliation, No. 360, May, 1940.
South Alabama head cross country/track and field coach Lee Evans
partnered with renowned track biographer Frank Murphy to tell the
story of the former 400-meter record-holder's journey to become a
champion at the 1968 Olympic Games.
Davy's mother is dead. Davy's father is so wrapped up in his own
grief that he can no longer care for his son. For Davy, his world
has been turned upside-down, he no longer recognises his father and
feels lost and lonely in a way he has never experienced before.
Then he is sent to live with his grandfather, Batt Quilty. Batt is
a shepherd in a remote valley in Kerry. He is a difficult man to
live with. But there is more to Batt than meets the eye: his life
seems to be lived under the shadow of the past. What is he hiding
in the chest under his bed? Why do the townspeople seem to fear
him? And what is Davy to make of the rumours about the dark secret
that lies deep in the valley. Batt is connected in some way - but
how much should Davy believe of what he hears, and can he trust
Batt when the word 'murder' whispers through the valley?
