*Warning - explicit language and content* This brutal but powerful tale is about the life of a young woman growing up in an abusive home (to say the least) and how she is saved when she fights for an education and a right to feel human. One of the best, most disturbing books ever written and a testament to the determination of people who refuse to be victims and become victors when every deck is stacked against them, beginning with their own families. A story you won't ever forget but must know, even and because it is so hard to imagine.
Jerry Ahern - The Reprisal World War III and its aftermath of all-consuming fire left civilization on the brink of extinction. But John Thomas Rourke, the ex-CIA Covert Operations Officer, weapons specialist, and survival expertstill lives, fighting the elements and the odds. And those odds have never been more heavily stacked against Rourke than when he finds his son mortally wounded and Natalia and all of his family kidnapped by a Russian foe, long thought dead.
