Book Description
When I was arrested by the Chinese military for launching a historic Tibetan Freedom protest, I knew every trial and lesson had been worth it--even if it meant facing a life in prison.After a childhood infused with esoteric Buddhist teachings, I was forged into a global activist through years of witnessing and collaborating in the dissent of women on the front lines of war. From villages in Nepal, to refugee camps in The Democratic Republic of Congo, to the streets of Bogota, Colombia, my initiation into human rights activism was raw and transformative. The bravery of those women bolstered me in my darkest hours of interrogation and torture by the Chinese Police, and it guides me now to share my true story--no matter the repercussions. This is not a tale the Chinese government wants told.During my years working in war zones, I often wondered if I'd have the courage to stand up to tyranny, to lay my life on the line to confront undeniable persecution.In 2007--on the slopes of Mt. Everest--I found out.Take a literary journey with me as I reveal the bumpy road I took to becoming my bravest self--learning to leverage a life of advantage, find a place for my own joy, and cultivate the courage needed to play a distinct role in history.

Book Description
A cryptic note leads the Blackmoore sisters to a haunted island in the Atlantic Ocean. Many have looked for the treasures reported to be buried there by pirates decades ago, but precious few treasures have been found. And certainly not the powerful energy-infused jewel the Blackmoores are looking for. Abandoned for decades following several mysterious fatal accidents, the sisters have the island to themselves…or so they think. Aided by a lonesome pirate ghost, they navigate a maze of tunnels dug into the rocks where they encounter ancient booby-traps, malevolent spirits and natural disasters. But as they start to zero in on the location of the relic, it becomes clear that they are not alone and whoever else is on the island has no intention of leaving without the relic - even if it means killing the entire Blackmoore clan.
