Then she followed her military husband—and Captain Ferguson—to Spain, compounding his sense of betrayal. Now the husband is dead and the army at the end of a desperate retreat to the coast and ships back to England. Alex finds her trying to herd her little party of women and wounded soldiers to safety and escorts them the last few miles. Can they find their way back to each other? Jack Valentine, Sue London - Artie Graham thought upholding the tradition of Jack Valentine was a sweet way to show his love of Norfolk.

For God and Race

The Religious and Political Leadership of AMEZ Bishop James Walker Hood

By: Sandy Dwayne Martin

Until now, the public life of James Walker Hood (1831-1918), bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion (AMEZ) Church and a major political and religious leader of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth, has gone largely unexamined. For God and Race recovers the public career of Hood as a representative of the major builders of independent black Christianity during this period who understood faithfulness to God as inseparable from the quest for racial justice, and it explores Hood's role in the AMEZ Church, a denomination known for its singular success in promoting leadership for the abolitionist movement.

Face of War

New Zealand's Great War Photography

By: Sandy Callister

An authoritative history of combat photography and its cultural, emotional, and memorial roles, this collection is the first to examine the vernacular photos of World War I taken by its New Zealand participants. The book discusses how photography was used to capture and narrate, memorialize and observe, romanticize and bear witness to the experiences of New Zealanders at home and abroad. The first to argue for the importance of New Zealand photography to the history of war, this overview examines in depth the contradictions of war photography, as a site of remembrance and forgetting, nation and sacrifice, mourning and mythology, subjectivity and identity.

My Unforgettable Childhood

By: Sandy Thorne

Feel like a trip down memory lane? Need a laugh? If you've ever pinched fruit, pelted rocks on people's roofs, talked about hairs in grade seven or been expelled from school, this hilarious memoir will be your cup of tea. If you didn't do any of those things but wanted to, this book is also for you. Growing up wild and free in the golden era of the 1950s and '60s in rural Queensland, Sandy Thorne was constantly in more strife than Flash Gordon. Her bum frequently glowed as crimson as a baboon's after thoroughly deserved thrashings from her long-suffering mother. With a philandering father drifting in and out of her home life and a collection of very loyal animals as her constant companions, Sandy learnt how to talk her way out of many sticky situations, emerging with an ability to laugh at herself, and to make other people laugh. At fourteen, she decided it was time to see what else was on offer and ran away to be a jillaroo. But that's the next instalment . . .

The Other

By: Sandy Hogarth

An atmospheric tale of identical twins, and the ties that bind and break. Identical twins Clemmy and Helen, named after the beautiful heroines of Greek mythology, live in a dilapidated cottage in the woods, having little contact with the outside world. Abandoned at birth by their father, a painter, the girls are raised by their mother, who they ignore, existing only for each other. Aged 14, they break into their father’s locked studio, discovering a self- portrait their father left for them, alongside a note – addressing them as ‘his beauties.’ This discovery opens the first cracks in their relationship. Helen becomes obsessed with him, determined to become painter herself. Clemmy fights against this, dreaming of an escape from the forest which has always frightened her, and becoming an actor. Aged 16, their mother abandons them. Clemmy celebrates their freedom, and the fault lines between the twins widen. Within a year Clemmy leaves for London and Helen finds herself alone at the cottage and pregnant by Beautiful Boy. The Other is story of love in all its facets: from the unique love of twins who yearn both for togetherness and individualism to sharing the love of a child.

SURVIVOR BOY

By: Sandy Green

In the year 1743, a boy named Elias was born in Hamburg in what would later become Germany. Elias’ life is forever changed when a fire robs him of his home and entire family. He is unfairly treated by those who promised to take care of him and runs away to live in a shack on his great grandfather’s property. On his own, Elias finds help and comfort with childhood friends and a stray dog which he eventually befriends. He is able to survive by working for food, doing odd jobs, hunting, growing a garden, and careful planning. He gets done whatever job his many employers task him with. When Elias is betrayed and his best friend is killed, he leaves for life as a sailor. While docked in England, he meets and falls in love with Lady Evangeline Duncan. This was a time when class, titles and wealth drew lines that were rarely crossed. Will this love endure? Although a successful sailor, Elias longs for his own family and life as a farmer and hunter and sets out to scout the shores of America with Wild Fox, a Cherokee Indian whose clan lives in Virginia. Elias gains knowledge and skills from Wild Fox. Elias and Wild Fox live for a short time with the clan. Here, Elias learns about clan traditions and becomes as one of them before leaving to explore the lands of wild western Virginia. When he reaches the River of the Elk, Elias decides to make his home nearby. The Canawa Valley of western Virginia is a hostile, untamed land where one must live by skill and wit. Many different tribes of Indians travel through the territory, not all of them friendly. Elias’ childhood after the death of his family helped prepare him to survive so far from civilization. His knowledge of the environment and a willingness to work hard are a must. Elias applies his skills in building and taming the land and his wife brings her traditional growing and crafting skills to bear. Despite starting out with nothing but their bare hands and the desire to survive they thrive. In his golden years Elias takes his wife and visits Hamburg where he is reunited with old friends and learns about the fate of others. At long last, unanswered questions are answered.

Never to Return

The Harrowing True Story of a Stolen Childhood

By: Sandy Reid

I'd never been given a cuddle in my life, been read a bedtime story or called anyone mum or dad.'In the dead of night, the authorities swooped on the tinker camp. It was the middle of winter but the tents were still warm. This time they took Sandy Reid and his sister Maggie into care. Sandy was just one year old and he would never see his mother again."Sandy Boy" is the true story of what happened to Sandy Reid and to many other tinker children. Removed from his family and their way of life, Sandy was put into care for the rest of his childhood and denied access to his mother, his father and his family. This is also the story of the abuse he suffered - regular beatings at his foster family, cruelty at a children's home and, later, systematic abuse. Without any love or affection, Sandy became uncontrollable and at the age of eight he was sent to a psychiatric unit and separated from his sister, the last link he had with his family. Soon after, a chance meeting led to the discovery that his mother had died. It would be another six years before he got the letters from his mother that proved that she had never stopped looking for him.Letters that had been opened and read by the authorities but deliberately kept from him.This is the shocking story of how a child's life was destroyed and of a stolen generation, snatched in the night and forbidden from seeing their families. It's also the story of how one boy endured terrible hardship and deprivation and how he survived against all odds.

Saving Lives

Why the Media's Portrayal of Nursing Puts Us All at Risk

By: Sandy Summers,Harry Summers

This fully updated and expanded edition of Saving Lives highlights the essential roles nurses play in contemporary health care and how this role is marginalized by contemporary culture. Through engaging prose and examples drawn from television, advertising, and news coverage, the authors detail the media's role in reinforcing stereotypes that fuel the nursing shortage and devalue a highly educated sector of the contemporary workforce. Perhaps most important, the authors provide a wealth of ideas to help reinvigorate the nursing field and correct this imbalance.

Tall Tales, Taller Tales, and Out and Out Lies

By: Sandy Walker III

Most of these stories are true. Some are fabrications. "The Gun Show" is one. It is a loose interpretation of an event. If you are familiar with the event, you will understand the satire. The stories, such as "The Great Possum Slayer", tell of a hunting adventure. We are all guilty of doing something to a friend in the name of fun. "The night Before Christmas" describes a practical joke that turned out better than planned! Several stories, as an example, "BB'S & Bumblebees", reflect on our desire to imitate our parents. Several of the stories convey a safety message. "The Hazards of Plastic Bullets", is an example that shows what can happen in the blink of an eye when we choose to disregard a simple safety statement. Some of the stories deal with older people and a time not so long ago. These people believed that you took care of your problem. You will notice in these stories, the problem would have gone away or been taken care of long before law enforcement could arrive. With our modern communications we can now summon the Calvary in an instant. It has not been too long ago that this was not the case in a lot of areas of our great nation. "The Letter", is an adaptation of a letter I want read at my funeral. Surprise, fear, courage, fortitude and a child's belief that they are bullet proof are all expressed in stories in this book. A book of this nature easily causes us to reflect on our lives and events that have slipped into our fading memory. If this book reminds a single individual of any similar events in their past, makes them a safer individual, or makes them laugh it will have succeed in its purpose beyond expectations.

How to Survive the Worst That Can Happen

By: Sandy Peckinpah

Sandy Peckinpah's sixteen-year old son woke up with a fever and was dead the next morning of bacterial meningitis... her life changed forever. She found herself in the depths of unimaginable despair.

All Beings are Buddhas

By: Sandy Hinzelin

Each of us has the possibility to become awakened, to perceive reality as it is, and to liberate ourselves from what enchains us and leads us to dissatisfaction. No one is excluded, the only condition is to remove the different veils that cover what is already there.This situation can be compared to a person sitting on a treasure, except that the latter is buried underground. It is only by digging that we will take advantage of it, any search at the surface of the ground will not lead anywhere. Consciousness is also a treasure, but it remains inaccessible as long as perception lacks depth.Which path is to be walked to see what we truly are? How is awakened consciousness, Buddhahood, characterized?In the Treatise on Pointing Out Buddha Nature, the 3rd Karmapa Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339), Tibetan master from the Kagy&ü lineage concisely presents Buddha nature, and he gives some elements to see it directly. Based on this treatise and a commentary from Jamg&ö n Kongtrul Lodr&ö Thayé (1813&– 1899), a phenomenological approach is offered to touch on these questions.

In this fantastic resource of quick, easy and cost-effective solutions to boat maintenance problems, the author shares tried and tested ideas to protect and improve your boat. From cleaning off rust marks from aluminium stanchions to dislodging bird droppings on deck and preventing dank cabin odours, it's all here; quick and easy tips to protect your hull, deck, windscreen, shorelines, engine, electrics, bilges, freshwater system, sails, rigging, winches, electronics, heads, furniture, windows, carpets, dinghies and tenders. The author also looks at new products on the market, new protectants and environmentally friendly cleaners, tackling the problems of ethanol now introduced into fuel, lower emission engines, sealed batteries, as well as new cures for odour removal and mildew prevention. There's nothing worse than getting to the boat and spending the day trying to cure a simple problem. This book ensures you can spend most of that time out on the water instead.

Women's Roles in the Middle Ages

Women's Roles in the Middle Ages

By: Sandy Bardsley

Information about women in this truly fascinating period from 500 to 1500 is in great demand and has been a challenge for historians to uncover. Bardsley has mined a wide range of primary sources, from noblewomen's writing, court rolls, chivalric literature, laws and legal documents, to archeology and artwork. This fresh survey provides readers with an excellent understanding of how women high and low fared in terms of religion, work, family, law, culture, and politics and public life. Even though medieval women were divided by social class, religion, age, marital status, place and period, they were all subject to an overarching patriarchal structure and sometimes could transcend their inferior status. Numerous examples of these exceptional women and their words are included. Chapter 1 examines religion, focusing on women's roles in the early Christian church, the lives of nuns and other professional religious women such as anchoresses and Beguines, the participation of Christian laywomen, and the experiences of Jewish and Islamic women in Western Europe. The second chapter examines women's work, looking in turn at the kinds of work performed by peasant women, townswomen, and noblewomen. Women's roles within the family form the subject of the third chapter. This chapter follows women throughout the typical lifecycle - from girl to widow - examining the expectations and experiences of women at each stage. Chapter 4, Women and the Law, focuses on the ways in which laws both restricted and protected women. It also considers the crimes with which women were most often charged and surveys laws regarding marriage and widowhood. Women's roles in creative arts form the basis of the fifth chapter, Women and Culture. This chapter examines women's roles as artists, authors, composers, and patrons, as well as investigating the ways in which women were represented in works produced by men. Finally, chapter 6 discusses women's experiences in politics and public life. While women as a group were typically banned from holding positions of public authority, some found ways to get around this stricture, while others were able to exercise power behind the scenes. The final chapter thus encapsulates a major theme of this book: the interplay between broader patriarchal forces that limited women's status and autonomy and the role of individuals who were able to overcome or circumvent such forces. Medieval women were, as a group, subordinate to their husbands and fathers, but certain women, under certain circumstances, evaded subordination.

The Politics of European Citizenship

Deepening Contradictions in Social Rights and Migration Policy

By: Peo Hansen,Sandy Brian Hager

As the European Union faces the ongoing challenges of legitimacy, identity, and social cohesion, an understanding of the social purpose and direction of EU citizenship becomes increasingly vital. This book is the first of its kind to map the development of EU citizenship and its relation to various localities of EU governance. From a critical political economy perspective, the authors argue for an integrated analysis of EU citizenship, one that considers the interrelated processes of migration, economic transformation, and social change and the challenges they present.

A Calamity Place Romance - Box Set

By: Sandy Appleyard

A Calamity Place Romance - The Complete Set - Misunderstood, Decisions, Complicated ***Misunderstood*** Sometimes secrets tear us apart. Sometimes secrets bring us together. Kendra and Ian had no idea their secrets would fuel romance. On the surface, Kendra is seen as the apartment’s gossip, but underneath she’s a woman who has felt pain in a way that most haven’t. Hiding behind a pair of non-prescription lenses is a girl who loves, laughs, cries, and enjoys life...all from behind her living room curtains. Her best friend vows to help Kendra live vicariously through her own socialite lifestyle, but at the end of the day, Kendra shrinks back to the wallflower she is, pushing her loved ones away. Ian Wilkinson is the heartthrob that doesn't know Kendra exists. He's beautiful, rich, and women crawl all over him...which he hates. His mother constantly sets him up with shallow, gold-digging women who follow him around like a lost puppy. Ian Wilkinson also has a secret. When women learn his flaw it usually sends them packing...until now. Kendra is about to learn that she is not the only person who is misunderstood...will they both be able to share their pain and accept their personal flaws? This is the first book in a light-hearted, page-turning romantic trilogy that has a cliffhanger ending. Filled with laughs, family issues, drama, and wholesome love, Misunderstood is about personal challenges and finding love. ***Decisions*** Cassandra has never known romantic love. Her son, her parents, and her friends love her...but no man ever has. Until she’s torn between two. Luke and Cassandra conceive Christopher after they meet at a bar. Months later, Luke is given a rare opportunity: to join a prestigious police force; a dream he has had since he was a young boy. However, this means leaving his son to move to a different province. Desmond comes from money, has an attitude and a mysterious edge; traits that Cassandra finds appealing. Kendra, Cassandra’s best friend, can’t stand Desmond, and her approval means a lot to Cassandra. But is Kendra’s support as valuable to Cassandra as falling in love? After four years in Western Canada, Luke drops a bomb on Cassandra: he’s moving back to Toronto. At this point, their relationship is friendly at best. But one night can make the tables turn. Tragedy hits, and Cassandra realizes that what she once thought was a painful decision, really wasn’t a decision at all...the answer was with her, in her heart, the whole time. A warm-hearted, wholesome romantic story about love, personal choices, and the desire to do the right thing, even if at the time it doesn’t seem right at all. Decisions is the second book in a light-hearted, page-turning romantic trilogy that has a cliffhanger ending. ***Complicated*** What would you do if the love of your life suddenly didn’t want the same things as you? What if you had an unfulfilled dream and only your partner could make it come true? Ray is the love of Linda’s life. They have an enviable marriage. Until one day Ray announces that he’s taking a contract job with his uncle...out of the country. While Linda is disappointed, what adds fuel to her upset is that they are right in the middle of trying to start a family. Her surprise pregnancy throws Ray off, and to her chagrin, Ray refuses to come home despite their dream finally coming true. Her friends make Linda’s pregnancy easy, but she still pines for Ray, until one of them steps in. Does this intervention make things more agreeable or more complicated? When Ray finally shows up in her third trimester, the tension could be cut with a knife. Will Linda take him back, or will she kick him to the curb? Mark is a good-looking, Australian cop. Ladies fawn over him, and he doesn’t turn any of them away. What could this foreign hearth throb want with a married woman? Plenty...
