Sisterhood is the secret weapon for two women at crossroads in a bighearted multigenerational novel about family, forgiveness, and fresh starts by the author of The After Party . When Rita McCall discovers her husband’s affair, there isn’t a lick of surprise―not a single tear or broken heart. Just a wife and mother who’s over it and ready to watch her twenty-three-year marriage go up in flames. Sticking close, thick as thieves since childhood, Rita’s unfailingly loyal cousins Jemel and Sharae become her lifeline. They stand beside her as she contemplates a new career and navigates the murky waters of being a preacher’s daughter disgraced by scandal. Although she would never turn her back on her cousin, Sharae has her own issues to deal with after learning of her father’s jailhouse death and an inheritance she doesn’t want. The last things she needs right now are a handsome lawyer snooping around in her business and a secret that comes back to bite. With the cousins at life-changing crossroads, it’ll take the wisdom of the Aunts and their family’s legacy of feeding the soul to guide them through the painful secrets, betrayals, and empowering revelations ahead. They’ll learn that what matters most is holding tight to love, to the promise of happiness, and most of all to each other.

David McPherson, a successful, middle-aged businessman, is startled one morning when he is contacted by a radical colleague from his student days, John Dempsey, who reminds him of his participation in a failed plot to disrupt a political meeting thirty years earlier. David, having been the only person to escape detection, feels pressured by the implicit, unspoken threat of being exposed, to assist Dempsey in an unspecified operation near the Scottish parliament. David's anxiety is magnified when he learns of his daughter's association with a student group campaigning for independence, suspecting the organisation has more sinister, undeclared motives. Despite his reluctance, the possibility of his past coming to light, with its potentially ruinous implications for himself and his family, impel him to go along with Dempsey's operation, a decision which has unforeseen consequences for everyone involved.

Anita and Marilyn are inseparable, despite their differing characters. When Anita marries David, his own best friend, John, soon falls for Marilyn. The two couple's lives become firmly entwined.

Three women form an unbreakable bond in a sexy, suspenseful, and adventurous novel about empowerment and sisterhood through thick and thin. Venus McGee, Draya Carter, and Jackie Benson are coworkers with a lot in common. They're smart, independent, driven, and deserving of recognition--certainly more than they've been handed by a demoralizing boss. He's the topic of conversation at their impromptu get-together after the company holiday party, where the threesome fantasizes about a life without him. There has to be an alternative to taking a deep breath and sucking it up. There is. It's just not the one they expected. When morning comes, Venus, Draya, and Jackie are blindsided by murder--a twist of fate that brings a startling new challenge to the table and forces them to navigate a hair-raising detour they never saw coming. For better and (unless they can help it) for worse, it's going to turn their world upside down. What starts as a necessary bond of mutual trust soon morphs into an empowering and galvanizing friendship that Venus, Draya, and Jackie need now more than ever.

W 1972 roku grupa naukowc�w oraz archiwist�w Imperial War Museum podjęła się trudnego zadania prześledzenia los�w zwykłych mężczyzn i kobiet, kt�rzy żyli podczas jednego z najcięższych okres�w historii wsp�łczesnej: pierwszej wojny światowej. Przeprowadzono wywiady z weteranami z Wielkiej Brytanii, Niemiec, Stan�w Zjednoczonych Ameryki, Australii i Kanady, pytając o ich codzienne doświadczenia na froncie i poza nim. Stworzone przez badaczy archiwum dźwiękowe należy do najważniejszych tego typu dokument�w. Trzydzieści lat po jego powstaniu Max Arthur na podstawie nagrań napisał tę oto książkę ? niezwykły obraz pierwszej wojny światowej widziany oczami tych, kt�rzy ją przeżyli. Żyje już bardzo niewielu ludzi, kt�rzy walczyli w okopach pierwszej wojny światowej. Jednak wspomnienia żołnierzy zawarte w książce Maxa Arthura brzmią tak świeżo, jakby spisano je wczoraj? to coś wyjątkowego. ?The Mail on Sunday? Książka ta pozwala zobaczyć, jak było na froncie zachodnim. To wyjątkowe przedsięwzięcie. Naprawdę oddaje nasze doświadczenia, naszego ducha, m�wi naszymi głosami, przekazuje nasze wspomnienia.
