Miriam’s Family Blitz
Author: Molly Cutpurse
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326298100
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
On the 7 September 1940, the London Blitz began in ernest. This was when the Nazi Luftwaffe machine switched from daylight raids on military targets to heavy bomber raids at night focusing on large cities. Miriam's Family Blitz, already broadly conceived in, Miriam's War by the same author, places her family's first fifteen days of the London Blitz under a magnifying glass. A period in which the mundane lives of her close family and friends in the East End found themselves experiencing front-line warfare for the first time, undergoing the inconvenient blackout, general restrictions and rationing. From the family's once relatively quiet life, and with Miriam, released from Holloway prison only one year previously, the intense and very real fear of invasion, gassing, destruction and death occupies almost their every thought.

From 18th Century France to 20th Century San Francisco, the Promise of the Rose Crystal both empowered and mystified Grace Moreau and her daughter Rose Wyndham.

The Crystal Clipper: After young David Nickerson's mother dies in a car crash, David loses his hearing to a serious illness and his sister disappears. Desperate to find her, David experiments with sacred crystals and accidentally conjures the supernatural ship, Moon Singer, which takes him on a journey to an uncharted mystical island. The people David encounters all have a soul connection to him, their lives destined to intertwine. Strangely in this other world, David finds he can hear for the first time in years. This gift foretells his destiny: to explore the contrast between good and evil, and to save a life that means more than his own. The War Chamber: As the captain of the Moon Singer, armed with sacred artifacts, David must confront his past, present, and future, fulfilling his destiny and protecting his loved ones. Boundaries blur, propelling David on an unforgettable journey where duty, magic, and love intertwine. The Wind Rose: Can music wield the power to create and destroy life? David, still grappling with his deafness, must unlock music's potential to rescue the world from impending disaster. To achieve this, he must reunite the sacred artifacts - the Singer crystal, Rose Crystal pendant, and Wind Rose compass - and harness their Triune energy. Aboard the enigmatic Moon Singer ship, David's supernatural abilities can lead him to salvation, but only by comprehending the Power of Three to Become One.
