The baron offers her sanctuary in the care of his friend Stoker-a reclusive natural historian as intriguing as he is bad-tempered. But before the baron can reveal his secrets, he is found murdered. Veronica and Stoker are forced to go on the run, wary partners in search of the villainous truth...

Veronica's Bird

Veronica's Bird

Veronica Bird was one of nine children living in a tiny house in Barnsley with a brutal coal miner for a father. Life was a despairing time in the 1950s, as Veronica sought desperately to keep away from his cruelty.Astonishingly, to her and her mother, she won a scholarship to Ackworth Boarding School where she began to shine above her class-mates. A champion in all sports, Veronica at last found some happiness until her brother-in-law came into her life. It was as if she had stepped from the frying pan into the re: he took over control of her life removing her from the school she adored, two terms before she was due to take her GCEs, so he could put her to work as a cheap option on his market stall.Abused for many years by these two men, Veronica eventually ran away and applied to the Prison Service, knowing it was the only safe place she could trust.This is the astonishing, and true story of Veronica Bird who rose to become a Governor of Armley prison. Given a 'basket case' in another prison, contrary to all expectations, she turned it around within a year, to become an example for others to match.During her life inside, her 'bird', she met many Home Secretaries, was honoured by the Queen and was asked to help improve conditions in Russian Prisons. A deeply poignant story of eventual triumph against a staggeringly high series of setbacks, her story is filled with humour and compassion for those inside.

Saint Veronica: An Eastern Orthodox Historical Overview and Liturgical Service

Saint Veronica: An Eastern Orthodox Historical Overview and Liturgical Service

Veronica Hughes

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
This book presents an Eastern Orthodox perspective on the legends and facts surrounding St. Veronica's life, Veil and Statue. St. Veronica is one of the most beloved saints in the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches. She is the woman with an issue of blood presented in the Gospels, who was instantly cured by Christ when she touched the hem of His garment. I began my research into the life of St. Veronica when I became Orthodox in 1996, and I chose her for my saint. Initially, most of what I found about her was legend. Then, at the request of my spiritual father to write a service for her, my renewed efforts revealed some remarkable things. Based on documented facts about St. Veronica, I have written an Orthodox service in honor of her and a short historicaly documented overview of my saint. Holy St. Veronica, pray to God for us

Resonance.It's a given on the ice planet, forced upon you by the parasitic symbiont called the 'khui'. With resonance, a guy and a girl are paired up because they'll make great babies. It's a survival mechanism necessary for this sparsely-populated world we're stranded on...and romantic, in a weird, alien way. Everyone expects resonance to happen when twenty newcomers are dropped onto the frosty world. I doubt anyone expects the gorgeous, golden god named Ashtar to resonate to someone like me, though. He's fierce. Flirty. Powerful. Disgustingly handsome.I'm...not any of those things. I'm bland. Boring. Clumsy.But resonance seems to think we'd be great together. And Ashtar does, too...___The Icehome series features all of the adventure, humor and community you've come to expect in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, but it stands on its own. You do not need to read the other series (or be caught up) in order to read VERONICA'S DRAGON. I do recommend reading LAUREN'S BARBARIAN to get the full experience. Enjoy
