‘Here it all is, a vast Marie Colvin box set, poignant beyond words’ GuardianTributes to Marie Colvin:John Witherow, Sunday Times editor: ‘She was somebody who was fun, full of life with joie de vivre and friends all over the world. During her time she saved many lives by highlighting the plight of victims of violence. Everywhere she had gone she tried to help people because she believed she was a witness to the violence that was going on and that she could make a difference’Peter Bouckaert, Human Rights Watch: ‘For Marie, covering war wasn't about doing a few quick interviews and writing up a quick story: she experienced war alongside those who suffered in war, and her writings had a particular vividness because of what she had dared to see and experience’Lyse Doucet, BBC: ‘The world will miss her because she was the eyes and ears of so many. Marie always admired the pioneering journalism of fellow American Martha Gelhorn. I always saw her as the Martha of our generation: brave and beautiful’Max Hastings, author of All Hell Let Loose: ‘All her life, all over the world, she was drawn to record the experiences of civilian victims, who found themselves living and dying in a universe from which compassion and justice had been banished…Colvin was killed doing her best thing, in full knowledge of its perils…This collection of words is her most appropriate memorial because it so vividly explains why her peers admired her so much’Born in America, Marie Colvin (1956 – February 22, 2012) was an award-winning foreign affairs correspondent for the Sunday Times. An outstanding journalist of her generation, she covered the Middle East for more than 20 years and reported from East Timor, Chechnya, Kosovo and Sri Lanka where she was wounded in an ambush and lost her left eye. She was killed while covering the Siege of Homs in Syria on the 22nd of February 2012.

Veteran Sunday Times war correspondent, Marie Colvin was killed in February 2012 when covering the uprising in Syria.

On the Front Line is an Orwell Special Prize winning journalism collection from veteran war correspondent Marie Colvin, who is the subject of the movie A Private War, starring Rosamund Pike and Jamie Dornan.

Marie Colvin held a profound belief in the pursuit of truth, and the courage and humanity of her work was deeply admired. On the Front Line includes her various interviews with Yasser Arafat and Colonel Gadaffi; reports from East Timor in 1999 where she shamed the UN into protecting its refugees; accounts of her terrifying escape from the Russian army in Chechnya; and reports from the strongholds of the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers where she was hit by shrapnel, leaving her blind in one eye.

Typically, however, her new eye-patch only reinforced Colvin’s sense of humour and selfless conviction. She returned quickly to the front line, reporting on 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza and, lately, the Arab Spring.

Immediate and compelling, On the Front Line is a street-view of the historic events that have shaped the last 25 years, from an award-winning foreign correspondent and the outstanding journalist of her generation.

An Extraordinary Woman I have to say that this is, in many ways, quite an extraordinary book. In some ways, it is the tale of an extraordinary woman as wellAt one level, the book is quite tiring, and the reason I say this is because it represents the tale of humanity at its best and at its worst.When you sit in front of your television screen and listen to politicians and TV anchors debate, you are shielded from the true horrors of war.This is what Marie Colvin brings to us, in a way. She is noncommittal in her writing style, no hysteria anywhere. She retains her essential humanity right through her career.An essential read for anyone who wants to read about humanity at its best, and worst.Amazing Woman This is a collection of reports from Marie Colvin. The newest is about 6 years old but they still have a vibrancy and the ring of truth. The horror of war for the people who happen to be in the way is graphically described.Incredible collection of articles by a unique war correspondent What a brilliant news reporter... literally could not put this book down. I always looked forward to her televised news reports...you would never know except by reading this collection what danger she put herself in. It is so terribly sad she lost her life trying to tell the people of Syria's story..

Life-changing and remarkably freeing! Total game-changer! I read the audio version of this book multiple times, bought copies of it for clients, and shared it with friends. Never have I read a book that so radically transformed the way I think. It was remarkably freeing to become so aware of how much I allowed my own thoughts to run my life. After reading Michael's book, I simply allowed irrelevant, erroneous, totally made up thoughts to just float on by without attaching my emotions to them. THAT was freeing!Most human beings are completely unaware that most of the thoughts in our mind are complete untrue. YET, we believe them, follow them, become emotionally entangled in them, allow them to change our mood, allow them to change our behavior.This book was also freeing in the sense that I let go of needing others to behave in a certain way in order for me to be OK. The reason I was't OK had nothing to do with anyone outside myself. It was a miraculous shift within me (to say the very least), when I realized I was trying to manipulate outside circumstances for me to feel OK in life.When I realized the shift needed to be made within ME for me to be OK in life, total game changer! I let everyone off the hook and stepped into unconditional peace and unconditional joy! Have you ANY idea what life is like when your own peace/joy is totally UNCONDITIONAL? It means you don't need anyone to change or be different for you to be happy. It means no-one outside yourself controls how you FEEL. It means you're no longer an emotional puppet on the string of everyone else's behavior, attitudes, decisions, choices, etc. YOU feel inner joy/peace no matter what. Hello?! Total game changer!I LOVED the audio version of the book because the person who read it was perfect for the content. Not to mention the ability to hit replay a million times on the parts that were SO transformative.This was a unique book. I've read TONS of other books on similar topics but the way Michael conveyed the material was unique and different and I really GOT IT! Thank you Michael Singer for the growth, expansion, and transformations you inspired within my very soul. My soul now largely "untethered" from the constant (and mostly irrelevant) chatter of the mind. :) I am a new person as a result of this book (and a few other audios I purchased from Michael's website which expanded upon what he taught in the book).Blather As other one star reviewers have noted, the book is disorganized, full of empty phrases, and lacking in any fundamental actions that a reader might take to achieve the bliss promised herein. Some pearls of wisdom: “It is actually possible to never have another problem for the rest of your life.” “Any time you’re having trouble with something, think of death.” “How you learn to stay open is up to you. The ultimate trick is to not close. If you don’t close, you will have learned to stay open.“ “For there to be manifest creation, energy must get in the dynamic of cycling around itself to create a stable unit.” I suspect that the overwhelming positive reviews of the book are influenced by adherents to the author’s philosophy and beliefs. To be clear: I’m not criticizing those beliefs, just the book.

Never Been Loved So Hood 2 Pdf

ISBN: B07N12LHRP
Title: Never Been Loved So Hood 2 Pdf
With Kenu out of the picture, Stormi thought life would get better for her and Mellow. Never did she expect for a simple night out to end with her being kidnapped as soon as she stepped out the door.

Now that Stormi is gone with no clues as to who has her, Mellow is causing havoc on everyone that he thinks knows anything. Picking people off one by one, Mellow has finally turned his savage up in hopes of finding his hood love, Stormi.

After finding out her sister is gone, within minutes, Dreami receives a devastating call indicating that her mom is dead! What happens when the only two people in your life leave you to deal with this cold world alone? Dreami is not one to handle her feelings well, so when one person doesn't listen, she goes to a familiar source, and that's when all of her troubles really begin.

Hazee has always had Mellow's back through it all. Now, Dreami is in the picture, and that's one more person for him to care about. Unfortunately, trying to give your all to a person who still hangs on to their past can cause more hell in your life. Hazee thought his hood love was one for the books with Dreami, but everything, or rather everyone, isn't always what they seem.

Will Mellow keep fighting to find his Stormi, or will someone from his past step back into the picture and make his Stormi days a little brighter?

Can Hazee fix the hole that's in Dreami's heart, or will he realize it was all just a Hazee Dream that he should leave in the past?

Hmmmmm This was really mediocre to me coming from these 2 authors especially Antoinette. Didn't really hold my interest and was really missing something, then it ended. I will still support and hope that the next part is better and the finale.Love it! I can't wait until Part 3 comes out. Dreami and Stormy know they are some hard headed women. I really hope that they are both ok because I would be really heartbroken.Never Been Loved So Hood 2 Now Dreami and Stormi find themselves caught up because they didn't listen. Mellow and Hazee will cause all types of trouble after that ending. Dreami made a stupid decision that cost her a lot and Hazee's way of dealing with it complicated things further. Stormi's mom was all types of scandalous and I thought for sure Stormi would continue to be dumb and fall for anything. I didn't feel bad for Kenu because she brought all those problems on herself and could've easily not gotten involved with Xavier's foolishness. Twin and her girls better be ready for Hazee because he already owes her one and whoever is responsible for Mellow's situation better be ready as well. #0850

True Places Pdf

ISBN: B07C227DVB
Title: True Places Pdf A Novel

True Places is a beautiful reminder that though we may busy ourselves seeking what we want, what we need has an uncanny way of finding us.” —Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Life and Other Near-Death Experiences

A girl emerges from the woods, starved, ill, and alone…and collapses.

Suzanne Blakemore hurtles along the Blue Ridge Parkway, away from her overscheduled and completely normal life, and encounters the girl. As Suzanne rushes her to the hospital, she never imagines how the encounter will change her—a change she both fears and desperately needs.

Suzanne has the perfect house, a successful husband, and a thriving family. But beneath the veneer of an ideal life, her daughter is rebelling, her son is withdrawing, her husband is oblivious to it all, and Suzanne is increasingly unsure of her place in the world. After her discovery of the ethereal sixteen-year-old who has never experienced civilization, Suzanne is compelled to invite Iris into her family’s life and all its apparent privileges.

But Iris has an independence, a love of solitude, and a discomfort with materialism that contrasts with everything the Blakemores stand for—qualities that awaken in Suzanne first a fascination, then a longing. Now Suzanne can’t help but wonder: Is she destined to save Iris, or is Iris the one who will save her?

A remarkable novel I’ve been following Sonja Yoerg since her debut, and have loved seeing her evolve as an artist. I was gripped from her very first sentence and loved every moment of Suzanne and Iris’s journeys. This stunning, beautiful work is not to be missed.A complicated novel, sometimes too much so THE STYLE -- reminds me of 19th century novels such as those by Jane Austin and the Bronte sisters. They feature women as central characters, striving to find their identity and meaning in life. Suzanne in TRUE PLACES certainly fits that category.ALMOST GAVE UP READING -- here’s the problem for me and why about a third into the book I was ready to give up on this novel. I got tired of too much non-essential and static descriptions about characters, things like furniture and cooking, scenery, even the simple act of driving from one place to another. Sure, some of these descriptions were brilliant and even mood-setting, but they really slowed the story down.ARTIFICIAL SUSPENSE -- I also was annoyed with the author’s attempts to build curiosity and suspense by withholding reportage information – the five w’s of a good story: who, what, when, where, and why. I didn’t learn the girl’s name until page 37. The author writes from the omniscient point-of-view (POV), so she should’ve known the girl’s name from the start. This POV gets confusing as the author often seems to interject her own philosophies into the characters’ experiences.ACCEPTANCE --As much as the premise of the story is hard to accept, I went along with it – a girl isolated in the woods, escaping all notice from the public even after her father and mother are “gone” by the time the girl is 12 years old. How could she fend for herself for four years? She had “Ash,” but again all identifying information about him was withheld until near the end of the book.MY REWARD -- I stuck with this book all the way through. And somewhere about two-thirds into the book, the plot and characters grabbed me. Now it centered mostly on only two central characters, the girl and Suzanne, and their search for the girl’s cabin. From there on I was engrossed in the story. This part of this novel was exceptionally good.SOME GOOD TAKEAWAYS, such as: “Sometimes leaving was the best solution, even if the main result was realizing you could come back.” “Sometimes it takes a stranger to show you what should be obvious, how far you’ve drifted from who you want to be, from what’s right for you, your true place.”I see most readers enjoyed this book. It has some very good insights and resolutions of family conflict with which many readers will identify.Gripping and though-provoking “Sometimes it takes a stranger to show you what should be obvious, how far you’ve drifted from who you want to be, from what’s right for you, your true place.” Suzanne is living a life filled with the busyness of being a mom, a wife, a volunteer....all the things that keep her scrambling to keep up with everything that seems vital to her family...but there are cracks everywhere, and Suzanne doesn’t recognize herself in the person she’s become. When she finds a young girl on the side of the road, a girl who is sick and alone, a girl who has lived in the woods, Suzanne feels as if she’s found a purpose...but will helping Iris shatter the family she is desperately trying to hold together? The relationships in this book are fraught with conflict and this book is a gripping peek into the challenges, expectations and disappointments. As a reader, I felt like a voyeur, peeking into this honest, many times uncomfortable, portrayal of a family. There is such incredibly beautiful language in each sentence, a delight to read and often a wonder. Woven within the story of this modern family are the most beautiful images of nature and the sights and sounds of the woods, the animals, and especially the plants and flowers. Just as I felt placed in the center of the house, I was equally present in the wilderness. I felt every emotion, every angrily spoken word, every gesture of love and kindness, every feeling of desperation and conflict and hope. Gripping, thought-provoking, and powerful, this book asks as many questions as it answers.
