Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

At eleven o' clock one night in 1997, four hungry, damaged young
children arrive on foster carers Trisha and Mike Merry's doorstep.
Two social workers dropped them off with nothing but the ragged
clothes they were wearing and no information. The children were
covered in bruises, two had black eyes, one had a broken arm and
they were all scratching themselves. Starved, seriously neglected
and abused in every way, four young siblings have been repeatedly
overlooked by everyone who should have cared. The eldest scavenges
for food by night and is exhausted from trying to protect his
sisters, his baby brother and himself from serious parental neglect
and the perilous attentions of frequent paedophile visitors. From
the start, these four children challenge Trisha and Mike to
extremes. Despite all their experience over many years, they wonder
if they have met their match. Yet, from that very first night, this
couple's unbounded love and care and their unbelievable
determination surmount all the obstacles that follow. The shocking
truth about the children's home lives is beyond anything Trish and
Mike have experienced, yet through their formidable efforts, their
unshakeable belief in the children, and their (almost) unfailing
sense of humour, they are able to turn around four young lives from
tragedy to hope.
ROBERT MERRY'S BRILLIANT AND HIGHLY ACCLAIMED HISTORY OF A CRUCIAL
EPOCH IN U.S. HISTORY.
In a one-term presidency, James K. Polk completed the story of
America's Manifest Destiny--extending its territory across the
continent by threatening England with war and manufacturing a
controversial and unpopular two-year war with Mexico.
