Synopsis My Brothers' Footsteps by : Gloria Marshall

My Brothers Footsteps will take you back one hundred years in Canadas history. Young men and women answered the call, boarded ships, and sailed to the battlefield in Europe. The unspeakable horrors of war awaited them as they fought bravely for their king and country. My Brothers Footsteps take you into the rat infested trenches, the battlefield riddled with shell holes, and the pain and suffering of the wounded. Many never returned home, and those that did were broken in body and spirit. This was a time of fierce loyalty and pride. The Great War forged a nation but it came with tremendous sacrifice. This is a must-read for every Canadian, whether young or old!

Synopsis Following My Own Footsteps by : Mary Downing Hahn

The sequel to the award-winning Stepping on the Cracks. “Sometimes heart-rending, sometimes funny, Gordy Smith will prove memorable to all who meet him.”—Booklist (starred review) In Following My Own Footsteps, sixth-grader Gordy Smith comes to grips with the fear that he’ll turn out no better than his abusive father . . . With his father now in jail and one brother hospitalized, Gordy’s mother has no choice but to take the family to their wealthy grandmother’s house in North Carolina. There Gordy meets William, a boy who had polio and is now wheelchair bound. Though they become friends, Gordy’s plans to help William fail spectacularly. Matters only get worse when Gordy’s father is released from prison and his mother is poised to give him a second chance. Gordy must decide where he belongs—with his dysfunctional parents or with the grandma who is more than his match in toughness, in courage, and in love. “A cast of unforgettable characters inhabit this work, seasoned with WW II setting but utterly contemporary in its concerns. Hahn is in top form, proving through Gordy’s first-person narration that real love can triumph over all kinds of adversity, and often does.”—Kirkus Reviews “The complex characterizations, period setting and Gordy’s brave attempts to break a cycle of violence will hold readers’ interest.”—Publishers Weekly “It’s a timeless social issue really, in any era, of having a dysfunctional abusive parent . . . A very good story showcasing complex friendships, familial relationships, and inner conflict, all set in WW2 America.”—Cats and Fiction

Synopsis My Brothers Call Me Bird by : Deatrice Nicia De'Lovely

My Brothers Call Me Bird is a profoundly poetic flight through my psyche. Every poem parallels a journey either personal, or witnessed along a detour. Nevertheless my versatile, rhyme-style poetry speaks on what many consider taboo, but unfortunately is very common in the urban communities. As a survivor of and advocate against several abuse types I write to incite emotion. I write to provoke assertiveness. I write to encourage confidence. I write to speak-out for those silenced by abuse, oppression and recession. I write to expose, arouse and inspire. Each chapter is named after a different avian species to illustrate my flights and destinations. Experience appreciation, motivation, apprehension, rejection, courage, hostility, sensuality and hood reality as you read what my eyes have seen. Much Love.

Synopsis The Annual Register, Or, A View of the History and Politics of the Year ... by :

Continuation of the reference work that originated with Robert Dodsley, written and published each year, which records and analyzes the year’s major events, developments and trends in Great Britain and throughout the world. After 1815 the usual form became a number of chapters on Great Britain, paying particular attention to the proceedings of Parliament, followed by chapters covering other countries in turn, no longer limited to Europe. The expansion of the History came at the expense of the sketches, reviews and other essays so that the nineteenth-century publication ceased to have the miscellaneous character of its eighteenth-century forebear, although poems continued to be included until 1862, and a small number of official papers and other important texts continue to be reproduced.

Synopsis You Thought You Couldn't Change, Either by : Andre’ Gilchrist

"You Thought You Couldn't Change, Either" is a book about the true accounts of the life of Andre Gilchrist. The book is written by Andre Gilchrist and explores how this individual went from living a life of serenity and peacefulness to living a life full of mental, physical, intellectual and spiritual degradation and how he was able to bring himself out of that lifestyle to living the life he lives and enjoys today. The book is written in two parts: "You Thought You Couldn't Change, Either" and "Fear of Intimacy." This book is written with the intention of allowing people to see and internalize the concept that no matter where one is in their life process that they can stop and turn their lives around. The first part of the book is devoted to showing in a chronological process the writer hitting rock bottom and then working his way out of that predicament. The second part of the book deals with the concept of intimacy as it was pivotal in the writer's life. It also deals with the life and struggles of the author and a more intense look into the internal structure of the individual. This is the story of one individual's struggle within himself. This is the story of one individual's journey from desperation to determination. This is the story of an individual exposing his weaknesses in life and having those same weaknesses manifest later in that individual as strengths. His is the story of an individual who has learned in life that everyone has to trust others and allow others to help him and that no one is completely independent of other people.
