Book Description
Growing up going form one foster home to another like a game piece on a no-win board can shatter your view of yourself and the world. In my memoir, "I Swear to tell the truth, the Whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth, So Help Me God" I expose the thoughts and feelings I experienced as I struggled over the past two years to make sense of a life shattered by childhood abandonment, neglect, and abuse. It's difficult for people who live in secure homes to understand how being deprived of simple things like safety, security, and warmth can make you seek these things even in destructive ways. Even with the support of different social services, nothing seemed to fill the emptiness growing inside me, an emptiness I desperately crave to fill. For the past two years I struggled to escape the pain of being unwanted by seeking comfort in the world of alcohol, drugs, and sexual addiction three worlds that have nearly destroyed me. Keywords: Memoir; diary; Journal; Autobiography; Sex Addiction; Drug Addiction; Alcoholism; Childhood Abuse; Mental Illness; Bipolar.

Nothing But the Truth
Author: Marie Henein
Publisher: Signal
ISBN: 0771039360
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER A critically acclaimed, intimate and no-holds-barred memoir by Canada’s top defence lawyer, Nothing But the Truth weaves Marie Henein’s personal story with her strongly held views on society’s most pressing issues. Marie Henein, arguably the most prominent lawyer in the country, has written a memoir that is at once raw, beautiful, and altogether unforgettable. Her story, as an immigrant from a tight-knit Egyptian-Lebanese family, demonstrates the value of strong role models—from her mother and grandmother, to her brilliant uncle Sami who died of AIDS. She learned the value of hard work, being true to herself and others, and unapologetically owning it all. Marie Henein shares here her unvarnished view on the ethical and practical implications of being a criminal lawyer, and how the job is misunderstood and even demonized. Ironically, her most successful cases made her a “lightning rod” in some circles, confirming her belief that much of the public’s understanding of democracy and the justice system is based on popular culture and social media, and decidedly not the rule of law. As she turns fifty and struggles with the corrosive effect becoming invisible has on women, Marie doubles down on being even more highly visible and opinionated as she deconstructs, among other things, the otherness of the immigrant experience (Where are you really from?), the pros and cons of being a household name in this country, opening her own boutique law firm, and the commoditization of women’s previously unpaid labour popularized by the likes of Martha Stewart. Nothing But the Truth is refreshingly unconstrained and surprising—an account by a woman at the top of her game in a male-dominated world.

Book Description
Mitchell Spence served with one of the largest police forces in the United Kingdom for over 27 years as a police cadet and a regular police officer, becoming a qualified inspector before retiring.As a direct result of his experiences, Mitchell was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and stress, and towards his latter years because of how they targeted him for not "singing the organisational song" and closed ranks against him, he was further diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.Mitchell took it upon himself to write all of his professional life and some of his earlier personal life down as a way to 'tame the beast' we all know as PTSD and conquer it.Throughout those years he witnessed many changes in the role of police officer, some good and some not so good through the 'thatcher years' and successive governments.During this time, Mitchell always believed in truth and justice, and the fact that police officers were there to uphold the law and not make or break the law.In his book, you, the reader, will be taken through his career as though you were right by his side, witnessing first hand everything he witnessed. There are may books out there to be read but this is probably the only one which will give you the good, the bad and the ugly insights into what policing has been like from the early 80's into the millennium and beyond.Some would refer to his book as a 'warts and all' account but however it is referred to, it is a must read, illustrating its effects on police officers, their families and most importantly you, the reader.That was his career, his life work. This is his story...*Reader Advisory*Certain sections of this book have adult orientated language but this is the way conversations went for certain scenarios, and the reader must be prepared for these.
