A woman’s homecoming is met with death threats, a treacherous killer, and a legendary monster in this supernatural thriller series opener. Behind a legend lies the truth . . . As a child, Eve Parrish lost her father and her best friend, Maggie Flynn, in a tragic bridge collapse. Fifteen years later, she returns to Point Pleasant to settle her deceased aunt’s estate.

A Thousand Yesteryears will keep you guessing, gasping and turning the pages for more.” —Kevin O’Brien,New York Times–bestselling author

Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 9781475932751
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
The small village in Pomerania in northern Germany provided a peaceful haven for the childhood years of author Ingeborg E. Ryals. But in 1939 the beginning of World War II irrevocably changed her idyllic life. In this memoir Ryals shares her first hand experiences as the war began to affect every aspect of her life. At the age of fifteen, she had to dig trenches behind the front lines and spent many days hiding in fear of the Soviet Army as it invaded and pillaged her village. Diphtheria and typhoid epidemics swept the country. She survived a bout of diphtheria but lingered near death for days on end with typhoid fever. There was little food to sustain them. At the age of eighteen, she was shipped to a labor camp operated by the Russian military on an island in the Baltic Sea. Ryals also recounts her escape and her eventual marriage to an American. With photos included, The Tears of War narrates a very real story of the tragedy of war. It shows Ryals perseverance and her ability to overcome obstacles in an effort to survive.

I Feel Like Talking

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
This book was written in hopes that many will be blessed and encouraged to live life to the fullness, and that they will know that even during many struggles, there are also signature moments; therefore, we must learn to cherish, and always be thankful for even the little things that are put before us to bring a smile, if only for a little while. Simple things like, when you are very busy and in a hurry trying to wash your dishes and your dishcloth seems to play tricks on you. When you reach for the dishcloth, you notice that it seems to have jumped off of the counter and into the sudsy dishwater; therefore, appears to be peeking through the bubbles as if it might be hiding from the sound of the ringing phone. Smile, and dont be alarmed, for its not time for a Psychiatrist yet! These things happen to people of all kind, when theres too much on the mind. A quick glance of yesteryears of love ones gone on before, sometimes it brings to our eyes many tears, but always take that second glance to see the smiles on their faces that was given by Gods Eternal grace. Glance into yesteryears with joyful hearts, knowing that love ones, no longer have fears nor do they have the pains that caused many tears. To death, who am I to with stand? I am also a visitor on foreign land. To rain, to sleet, to snow, many times together, they all will show. Acts of nature, this we all know. To shy, to cry, to refuse to say good-bye, these things, we will try. To die, who am I to wonder why?

The Snows of Yesteryear
Author: Gregor Von Rezzori
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590176537
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Gregor von Rezzori was born in Czernowitz, a onetime provincial capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that was later to be absorbed successively into Romania, the USSR, and the Ukraine—a town that was everywhere and nowhere, with a population of astonishing diversity. Growing up after World War I and the collapse of the empire, Rezzori lived in a twilit world suspended between the formalities of the old nineteenth-century order which had shaped his aristocratic parents and the innovations, uncertainties, and raw terror of the new century. The haunted atmosphere of this dying world is beautifully rendered in the pages of The Snows of Yesteryear. The book is a series of portraits—amused, fond, sometimes appalling—of Rezzori’s family: his hysterical and histrionic mother, disappointed by marriage, destructively obsessed with her children’s health and breeding; his father, a flinty reactionary, whose only real love was hunting; his haughty older sister, fated to die before thirty; his earthy nursemaid, who introduced Rezzori to the power of storytelling and the inevitability of death; and a beloved governess, Bunchy. Telling their stories, Rezzori tells his own, holding his early life to the light like a crystal until it shines for us with a prismatic brilliance.
