Guilty Survivor Memoirs of Tamerla Kendall By Marianne Stephens Non Fiction
|
Sarajevo during the Bosnian War (1992-1995). Hers is a story of courage,
fear, ingenuity, and survival. Difficult choices she made then still disturb her
peace of mind and life today.
She made a few trips out of Sarajevo, only to return to keep the family
restaurant business operating. One trip was made to remove her daughter
from the dangers of fighting, but this created a heartbreaking rift in their
relationship. For her second trip, Tamerla masqueraded as a United Nations
Protection Forces soldier. A uniform and travel assistance came from a
Ukrainian general.
Her hopes for a return to normalcy at war’s end diminished as corruption and
religious zealots took control. When her life was threatened at gunpoint, she
left her country and moved to the United States with her husband and son.
Tamerla is now a US citizen.

Solo Parenting Cynthia MacGregor Self-help, parenting
|
Parenting—it’s life’s biggest, toughest job. And it’s even tougher when you’ve
got to do it single-handedly. Yet many women and men (divorced, widowed, or
never married, custodial or non-custodial) have to undertake the task of
parenting without the help of a spouse. For all these people, here’s the help
and guidance to get you through: Solo Parenting.
"Step" This Way Making Stepparenting Work Cynthia MacGregor Self-help, parenting
|
Stepparenting is not as simple as parenting—there are situations and
problems specific to being a stepparent...but here’s help. “Step” This Way is
written in friendly, approachable language, and is short and to the point.
If you’re raising a blended family, or are about to, this book is for you.
A young Special Forces captain, Jack Lane, and his team sergeant, Carl
Sheets, go to Bangkok on R&R after too long in the jungle. They expect to
drink, eat, rest, and—especially—enjoy women in their brief respite from the
South Vietnam front lines.
The captain quickly learns about a sordid, warped society where human lives—
especially children—have no value. Inexperienced and naive, he is lucky he
has his older and wiser sergeant to guide him through his first encounter with
the depravity of that world—just as the experienced man has guided him
through his exposure to the realities of war.
The first day, Captain Lane makes a mistake that could have tragic, even
lethal, consequences—instead, he is able to turn it into an opportunity to save
an innocent life.

Those Tough Questions Cynthia MacGregor Self-help, parenting
|
Even adults who are abducted have been known to identify with their
kidnappers. Picture, then, a four-year-old child, already in a comfortable
relationship with his abductor (a household employee who wants him for her
own child) , who, when taken, is told that his parents have died and that his
abductor is all that stands between him and “the orphan place.” Give him four
years of living with her, and he’s going to get very attached to her.
Small wonder that, when the F.B.I. finally locates him and returns him to his
parents, he doesn’t remember them, feels he’s just been taken from his rightful
mom (the kidnapper), and is very resentful. To that mix add a new younger
brother who has his own mysterious problems and the parents themselves,
estranged as a result of the tensions arising from the kidnapping.
Excerpt
“Mommy, why does Santa bring more presents to MaryBeth than to me? I’m just
as good as MaryBeth.” …
“What does the tooth fairy do with all those teeth?” …
“Did you always do everything your mom told you to do?”
Previously, parents needed to be good at thinking on their feet when a child
posed one of these questions. Fortunately, now help is at hand in this handy
little “crib book” of answers to kids’ toughest questions. Buy it and be
prepared!
