Book Description
There is no worse feeling than being convinced and determined to want to achieve a success, a result, an expectation, a hope, only to then see it only as an optical effect, far from reality, a moment that represents suffering and waiting. aimed at never wanting to be forgotten. There are many cases in particular to report, from having married a woman who turned out to be wrong, who before marriage made us believe she was very close to Mother Teresa of Calcutta, only to then discover she was a ruthless and irrational person , with a personal logic more afferent to the Devil's beliefs, captivated in intimacy and fascinated between the sheets, only to then see everything disappear by magic. But children also have a good ability to contribute to negative facts, an example are those who present their school/university exam books every month, trusting in the certainty of their declarations and believing that everything is going in the right direction, only to then discover that This is a false result, for which culprits and defendants are sought to attribute blame and responsibility to, the mother at the head of the system, first of all, protects. A job not done with love leaves the result half-finished, and you can immediately see how incomplete it is; everyone notices what you do, how you do it, your personality, even if eclectic, cannot erase what you have personalized, your forty years of experience and studies speak for you, a lot of experience only certainties. The future does not allow a personalized reflection of the individual, many are afraid, anxious, the possibility of getting sick, accustomed to living day by day, with their vices, typical of those people of habit, who go to the bathroom at the same time every morning , having breakfast at the same time and indulging in the pleasure always at the same time, without knowing that a variation can cause, in terms, a new coincidence, because the occasion always offers a curiosity. Having luck is no small thing, but I keep this wealth locked in a drawer, otherwise everyone might want to ask to know their destiny, but I have not yet organized myself and have not ventured into the possible profession of fortune teller, simply a refusal. I would know where to start and I would be forced to immediately become a liar, without major sacrifices, I saw her in the distance, never before had I seen so much beauty in a single minute, I was fascinated, struck by her, almost deluded that she was coming towards me , I reached out to take her and then tried again with both hands, but she smiled at me and then ran away, never knowing if I would have another chance to meet her: I thought I was going to catch her, but she ran away!!!!!!!

Book Description
Expect edge-of-your-seat dystopian drama in book 3 of Grace Hamilton’s post-apocalyptic series. The time has come to pick a side and choose between bad or worse. Gathered on the shores of the Pasqualee vineyard island, Elna and a small group of EMP-attack survivors are anticipating a military ambush. From a distance, armed soldiers are attempting to cross the drawbridges that connect their safe retreat to the grim horrors of the new world on the mainland. What they don’t yet realize is that this uninvited group of fighters is under attack themselves – from the dangerous paramilitary unit led by Elna’s rogue ex-boyfriend. When the battle-worn Marines finally make the crossing, they ask more questions than they’re willing to answer, leaving the island inhabitants questioning whether they can trust the unwelcome visitors. Until their true purpose is uncovered… and Elna and her father discover that their island is hiding more secrets than they could ever have imagined. As they come to terms with the revelations about their home, a new band of mercenaries descends upon them with the sole purpose of destroying their vineyard’s secret, so that chaos can rein free. Now the fight is no longer about the endurance of just the Pasqualee group. Elna, along with faithful Malin and the original survivors, must protect the island. The future of America depends on it.

Book Description
Tokyo Rose / An American Patriot explores the parallel lives of World War II legend Tokyo Rose and a Japanese American woman named Iva Toguri. Trapped in Tokyo during the war and forced to broadcast on Japanese radio, Toguri steadfastly refused to renounce her U.S. citizenship and surreptitiously aided Allied POWs. Despite these patriotic actions, she foolishly identified herself to the press after the war as Tokyo Rose. This book assembles a collection of images from American pre-war popular culture that provided impetus for the legend of Tokyo Rose and analyzes the wartime situation of servicemen, which caused their imaginations to create the mythical femme fatale even though no Japanese announcer ever used the name Tokyo Rose.
