Book Description
A missing archive. A list of potential bloodborns. An assassin who’s finally stepping into the light. In the aftermath of Fane’s vicious games, I'm in desperate need of training. But I get more from the nephilim tasked with my training than combat skills. Between the training warehouse, the recovered portrait of Radnor Harding, and the acid-laced tales of a takeaway owner, an intricate tapestry of secrets unravels—the kind of knowledge the archangels keep me in the dark about. Like the location of the coveted Bloodborn Archive, Fane’s list of potential bloodborn vampires, one of whom lurks closer to home than anyone expected, and the identity of the mysterious assassin with the red sleeve—his grace, the ghost in the mirror. What does he want with me? And why is he coming for me now? *** This book features the worst possible audience to Violet’s love life, a Ford Capri with a mind of its own, and that fancy archangel you’ve all been waiting for. This is book 5 of Not the Same River. This series is complete and should be read in order.

A Nun with a Gun, Sister Stanislaus
Author: Eddie Doherty
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1789120675
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
THIS is the story of a rare human being, a dynamo of a woman who devoted her life, joyfully, humorously, expertly, uniquely, to others. Orphaned at 3, brought up by the Sisters of Charity in Nevada, a nun herself at 20, Sister Stanislaus, after several months of nurses’ training in Baltimore, was sent to work in New Orleans. She never really left. Her first, last, and only assignment was Charity Hospital, New Orleans. In time, the two became virtually synonymous. She spent over fifty years there. When she arrived, Charity Hospital comprised one antiquated building; modern medicine was in its swaddling clothes; nursing was an even more hit-or-miss affair. When she left, Charity Hospital was one of the finest in the land and nursing had become a highly professional career. Sister Stanislaus played a large part in the development of both. She brought to nursing a great and joyful zeal, an originality, and a love which affected everyone she came in contact with. Constantly perfecting herself as a nurse, she became one of the best known nursing-sisters in the country. But she did not stop there. Changing, innovating, wheedling money from a string of politicos—from Huey Long and his predecessors by Earl Long—she built Charity Hospital into the great modern institution it is. Yet her fame and her influence were not a result of her public achievement; they were based upon something more immediate, more spiritual. They grew from her all-embracing charity, her lifetime of devotion to the sick and the troubled. She was beloved as a person; the rest, an incredible array of activities and duties, accomplishment and concern, simply happened. Or so she pretended. An extraordinary personality merges from this brisk, expertly written biography, a lively and highly original nun, nurse, and human being, full of surprises but indefatigably on the job, bringing relief and consolation to thousands who passed in and out of a great hospital.

Once a Boy
Author: J. J. Irwin
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1612048587
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Read about the customs of the times, which foreshadowed the computer age, and what it was like to grow up in a working-class family in southern Britain, where people didn't have a great deal, so some of us used to write stuff. The book shines a light on a young boy's interaction with the world and gives an accurate insight into the social structure of the time. Drawing on personal childhood experience, I've tried to portray a vivid picture of the customs and styles of that period, along with typical children's play and adventure, while describing products, systems, and technologies that were evolving,says the author. Children become adults, but the child remains within us all. Therefore, this book is dedicated to children, however old you may be.
