A happy O'Malley family of four sisters, one brother, father and
mother, lived in a row house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
smallest, youngest, and favorite of all was Doris. However, her
life changed dramatically at age eleven, and her family and others
were devastated. We were heading to the mall when I realized she
was not moving. The ambulance was called and in those days there
were no MRI, and little other than x-ray, so at first we didn't
know what happened to my little sister. Finally the diagnosis of
nephritis was made, and Doris was put on penicillin for one year,
but this horrible disease struck again. Soon it was evident that we
were in for the long battle; and Doris' lonely, challenging journey
began. Prayer, confidence, and an unyielding mother's love brought
Doris to a healing. The determined girl then took matters into her
own hands. First, off to school for her elementary certificate,
followed by a high school diploma. Then, some financial support,
she graduated as a licensed vocational nurse. At age of 42, Doris
proudly walked across the stage and received her diploma, with
perfect attendance. She was now able to go out into the world
beaming and independent. Tragically, endometrial cancer crept
unrecognized into the single girl's life. It spread to a full blown
cancer death, but to the very end, Doris still flashed the V for
victory sign... even on her death bed. Together, my little sister
and I walked through the dark passages and right into the light as
the angels swept her away on November 20, 1992. Read this
remarkable, inspiring story of loss, faith, and the fighting spirit
of Doris O'Malley.
The young child, Maggie, was struck by a car at the age of three.
She is portrayed here with her parents, James and Helen. Spared by
a miracle, she battles disappointments and even tragedy in her long
walk toward fulfillment of her lifelong mission. Fueled by fiery
ambition, she and Eric discover combined strength in their 'heart
communing talks'. Filled with God's inspiration, this unique tale
possesses a magic mixture of controversy, humorous episodes, and
faith. The quick-witted dad, cherished mom, troublesome, but
lovable Ethan, and 'the mansion' episodes, guarantee this unusual
tale to be a delectable reading adventure. The story boldly empties
into the bountiful gift of betterment presented to the world by
'two heroes'. Maggie's life is full of surprises as she captures
your heart as soon as you step into the first page of this
fascinating autobiographical novel.

Six women and one man gather in a community centre in North London
for a life writing class run by Dorothy, their uniquely unqualified
teacher. They have urgent stories to tell and, as they recount
them, they discover they are connected in unexpected ways. There is
Iris, eighty years old but still with a taste for younger men;
Pearl single-handedly bringing up her grandson, enigmatic hooded
Kai; elusive Renee; Sabine whose happy Belgian childhood may not
have been as happy as it sounds; mixed-up Esther; Edgar whose
winning ways charm them all and of course there is Enid, the
retired art teacher, who insists on telling her story in pictures
not words. Illustrated with sharp line drawings by illustrator
Beatrice Baumgartner-Cohen, The Brondesbury Tapestry is a quirky,
perceptive look at a group of people who feel the modern world has
left them behind but who have decided that they will still have the
last word.

"Like the subject about which she writes, Perlman engages the
reader immediately, permitting a view into the author's rich and
varied experiences, threaded throughout with profound compassion
for all those who seek, suffer, and strive. . . . [This is] a

Edward Payson Weston's 3,100-mile walk from California to New York,
completed on 3 May 1910, was one of his great achievements, but
only one. It took him just 77 days. He was 71 years old. For half a
century Weston was one of the most famous people in the
English-speaking world, as the first age of international celebrity
unfolded. The godfather of the pedestrianism movement, he
criss-crossed Britain and America on foot earning fame, fortune and
notoriety in an athletic career that saw him complete some of the
most amazing endurance feats ever witnessed. In this entertaining
and wide-ranging book, co-authors Nick Harris, Helen Harris and
Paul Marshall, skillfully recreate a vanished world to tell one of
the most amazing stories in sporting history. Part social history,
part biography, part exposition of the seedy underbelly of
Victorian society, this is a work that draws in elements of
sporting genius, high stakes gambling, drug abuse, and marital
scandal. A Man in a Hurry is one man's flamboyant athletic journey
from the Gold Rush to the Jazz Age, the story of a dreamer, schemer
and ladies man who met with Presidents and royalty, crooks and
knaves. With its colourful detail, historical context and readable
style, this groundbreaking work is an important addition to the
sports literature canon.
