Book Description
Have you ever wondered about the universe, your purpose here on earth, or what might await you in the afterlife? Author and life coach Cynthia Lynch Bischoff has often reflected on those questions in her transformational work with her clients. On Wings of Hope: Leading Lily Home explores those questions through a poignant recollection of Bischoff’s experience in assisting a young client through her journey with breast cancer and untimely death. Based on a true story and filled with wisdom and life lessons, this account describes Lily’s inspiring passage from despair to enlightenment as a result of Bischoff’s unconventional therapy and compelling and inspirational view of the afterlife. Her story, a journey from heartache to peace, demonstrates that the world is illusory and that we create our own reality. It offers an integration of Bischoff’s varied areas of expertise—life coaching, spiritual psychology, philosophy, and energy healing—to present a unique approach toward understanding the meaning of life, relationships, and mortality. Heartfelt and unforgettable, this memoir brings you face-to-face with important insights about life as it shares one woman’s true experience with death and the afterlife. “... Approached with love and sensitivity and honor, this is a book to be savored.... The precious beauty of Life itself is found in every line. Absolutely lovely.” - Nonfiction Authors Association, Gold Winner Award “Told with gentle grace, On Wings of Hope powerfully illustrates how compassion and deep listening can create trust so that understanding and growth can take place.... Bischoff’s exceptional spirituality guides us all to understand how love is what wins in the end.” - Michael S. Glaser, PhD, Poet Laureate of Maryland 2004-2009

Three years later, with the war finally over, Yvo Scholz arrives in Chelyabinsk, desperate for news of her brother, who was also last seen being dispatched to the labour camp.

Pages : 296
Book Description
‘On Wings of Hope - From Berlin to Caracas’ is set in Europe, the Middle East, East Africa, and Venezuela. The book chronicles the adventures and misadventures of the family and follows the life of young daughter Ruthmarie. Her father, James Goerke, though Aryan, is involved in anti-Hitler activities and thrown into concentration camps on three different occasions. After his release the third time, he is forbidden to exercise his trade. This proved to be the proverbial ‘last straw that broke the camel’s back’. He makes the decision to flee from the horror that was Germany in the 1930s. Goerke is 37 years old. Priority number one is to look for a car, - though he doesn’t know how to drive. A ten-year old Chevrolet convertible coupé catches his eye and, because he can’t afford anything better, he puts down the money. His is a daring venture, to say the least. He packs his family of five into the car and they leave in the dark of night because he doesn’t dare inform the landlord, lest he in turn inform the authorities. On their way to a waiting job in Afghanistan, they travel through Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The all-too-small car becomes home for many months. Along the way they overcome difficulties, problems and anti-German sentiment, but nothing deters Goerke. He focuses only on the future and never laments leaving his homeland. In Turkey their travels almost come to an end when he is offered a job to build a zoological garden in Ankara. Within a few months the project is well underway. Unfortunately Kemal Pascha, the Head of State, dies and the nation is plunged into mourning. The sad part for the family is that the new ruler is is pro-Hitler and eventually terminates the family’s resident visa. They are deported. Lebanon offers them asylum and Goerke gets a job as curator in the museum of natural history at the American University in Beirut. Two wonderful years come to an end when WW II breaks out. The family falls into British hands and they are interned. Goerke repeatedly asks for permission to help the Allied Cause, preferably in Agriculture. The first camp the family is sent to is in Palestine. There Goerke is summoned to the Camp Office and informed that the family would be sent to Africa. He was shown the order, which clearly stated that he was NOT TO BE INTERNED. On the uncomfortable train trip to Suez, German bombers dropped several bombs on the transport. In Suez, together with hundreds of other refugees, they are herded onto a ship, men and women separated, the former making the trip in the hold of the ship. They reach Mombassa and are ferried by truck to a waiting train, which takes them to the first of many crude and inhospitable camps. The first thing they see is barbed wire and Goerke realizes the deception. Instead of FREEDOM, they are interned during the following seven years. Two years after the war ends they are declared ‘free citizens’, though they have nowhere to go. Goerke refuses to be repatriated. Venezuela offers them asylum, but other challenges greet them: A new language and surprising customs, a different culture, as well as lack of employment and money. - - They struggle to make ends meet and gradually climb out of hopelessness. The seemingly impossible dream of having their own nevertheless becomes reality and Goerke shirks no job. He builds an access road and accomplishes the feat of building their home single-handed! The day they move in is a proud day! even if they had to sleep on the bare floor. One by one the youngsters get married, have children and move away from the ‘old home’. However, the bond formed through the difficult years is strong and keeps them united, at times in spite of new in-law ‘interference’. Ruthmarie’s is a happy marriage, producing three children who become the center of her life. But the years weighed heavy on the old patriarch. He died at 75, leaving a big void in Rut

Book Description
All of England thinks Phillip Camden a monster--a man who deliberately caused the deaths of his squadron. But as nurse Arabelle Denler watches the so-dubbed "Black Heart" every day, she sees something far different: a hurting man desperate for mercy. And when their paths twist together and he declares himself her new protector, she realizes she has her own role to play in his healing. Phillip Camden would have preferred to die that day with his squadron rather than be recruited to the Admiralty's codebreaking division. The threats he receives daily are no great surprise and, in his opinion, well deserved. What comes as a shock is the reborn desire to truly live that Arabelle inspires in him. But when an old acquaintance shows up and seems set on using him in a plot that has the codebreakers of Room 40 in a frenzy, new affections are put to the test.

With even a sliver of the ancient dragon's all-powerful scroll, Qibli could rewrite history the right way: end war forever; make every dragon happy; perhaps even cast a very small spell so that everyone would like him . . .Instead, as Darkstalker's dangerous influence spreads across Pyrrhia, entrancing or killing every dragon in the seven tribes, Qibli can only grasp the small animus objects he's borrowed from Turtle. With some clever thinking, Qibli's talons finally hold the power to make a difference. But prophecies are not easy to rewrite.
