This is one womans story of thirty-four years of abuse and torture at the hands of the man she loved, until one day, at fifty-six years old, something snapped. This is her special journey. Anne Cutler wrote this story in hopes of reaching other battered women and men out there. No matter what walk of life they have, they all share the same hopes, fears, and strengths. Yes, it takes lots of strength, but though we think we are weak, we are far from it. Above all, they need to learn to love themselves, which is a hard lesson to learn, and to learn also that love should not hurt. Some people have to push others down to make themselves feel bigger. Anne hopes to give strength to someone else that needs it and to let them know there is a wonderful, normal life out there that is full of beauty and wonder and love.

She Smiled on Constantinople
Author: Reynold Spector
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1435713176
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In 717 AD, Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium), appeared doomed. In the preceding eighty years, Muslim Arabs had captured much of North Africa and the Middle East, and were poised to take Constantinople. To save Byzantium, the senate asked a Roman General, Leo III, to become Emperor. Leo and his brilliant son Constantine V radically altered the Byzantine imperial system militarily and culturally. Leo developed a novel idea - that God was angry with the Byzantine Christians because they worshiped Christian icons, relics, and pagan idols, thus ignoring the Second Commandment. God would favor the Byzantines only if they destroyed their icons and purified Christianity. Leo's policy set in motion a century-long conflict between the iconoclast (icon breaker) emperors and the iconophiles (icon lovers). This religious struggle culminated in a final battle to define Byzantine Christianity and the control of the Empire. This novel recounts who won, why and how.
