Download or read book Scarred written by George Molho and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, seven-year-old George Molho was kidnapped by his own father. For a year, he survived mental and physical abuse to the point of torture. He found it easier to get used to hell than to hope that heaven was around the corner. George eventually escaped, but surviving the aftermath proved to be much more difficult. This memoir weaves past and present together to connect the pieces of Molhos childhood and adult life that shaped the man he would become. It explores the adage, love conquers all, revealing the inner workings that we all seek to understand. George was lucky to learn how to love from his family before his abduction, before his fathers cruel version of love was inflicted upon his young body and psyche. Later in life, love compels him to divulge all that happened on the mountainside where he left his innocence as a boy. Its not about how hard we get hit; its about how much we can take and keep moving forward. Scarred is a memoir written by a survivor, intended to empower and embolden all who have suffered, have survived, and are ready to be set free. This will be known as the book that set the literary genre of memoir free. Scarred reads like fiction while shattering the facade of make believe Molho becomes the victor of his past and his triumph is contagious. Andrea Afra, Free Press Houston

Book excerpt: As Pamela sits heartbroken in her favorite chair following the death of her beloved husband, Takis, she attempts to unravel the layers of her existence whose very first memory could have been her last. We follow her through her cinematic reality, rewinding time and space, to the orange groves of Kalamata, Greece, when Nazis bombed the harbor forcing her family to flee across the Taygetos Mountain Range to a small Spartan village for safety. As fate would have it, they came face to face with Nazi atrocities instead. Their survival in an underground cave was threatened when German soldiers were heard standing at the roof of the opening, laughing at the occupiers’ successful conflagration of Soustianous the night before. Desperate to flee the danger, her family searched for new shelter and a new beginning which came at a price, not all the family survived. As World War II ended and Greece rebuilt, the family moved back to Kalamata where Pamela lived the monotony of a poor teenager until a soccer-playing banker named Takis crossed her path. The Andriopoulos family’s American Dream interrupted the couple’s love affair when they were separated for years by the Atlantic Ocean, their only connection was their love letters. Pamela returned to Kalamata to marry her soulmate who followed the love of his life back to Chicago for a taste of the American Pie. Their fairytale was not laid in a bed of roses, but rather thorns and weeds and unconditional love, all of God’s will. Pamela and Takis’ family thrived in the States, but Kalamata, and its people, continued to tug at their hearts, calling them back to their Greek Dream. But the vision for their family was shattered with broken memories that could not be recovered, so it seemed.

Download or read book Occupation Child written by T. Styppas and published by Petra Books. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told through the eyes of an observant and resilient boy, the book begins with the German seizure of Athens in 1941. Grim events of war, displacement, and exile never extinguish the curiosity – even the joys – of his childhood. Compelling writing mixes reality and fantasy to concoct a memorable tribute to the human spirit, from Asia Minor to Greece to Canada. — Douglas Babington, the Bivouac Prayers. “The ugliest phases of the Civil War were just beginning. It would pit household against household, village against village, and sometimes, brother against brother. The blood-letting would go on and on. The adults seemed to sense that all of this was going to happen and they only spoke in muted tones.” — Tasouli With curiosity and humor Tasouli tells us about his life, including stories about his cat the Resistance hero, the intricate relationships between a young Jewish physician, German offi cers, and Greek partisan communists and their British captives. A strange character appears in his dreams, sometimes supportive, sometimes terrifying, and they develop a strong bond. Occupation Child is ultimately about how a child views hunger, language, politics and love.

Download or read book The Burning Ground written by Tak Paris and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-10-14 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique, autobiographical novel details life in an authentic, spiritual community. Deeply personal and soul wrenching, it is a true account of one man''s search for spiritual enlightenment. The author''s own testimony to the path of self-realisation is painstakingly recorded in extracts from his Spiritual Diary. It is set in the early 80''s, in a sleepy, Hertfordshire village in England. D.B., a Master Teacher and his elite inner circle disciples run the community. An outer circle of probationary disciples completes the group dynamics. Chris is thrust into a metaphysical cauldron of transformation by an act of fate, which is destined to change his life forever. His wife Elena, who is primarily inspired by Stellios, a young Don Juan character, introduces him to the esoteric teachings. He entices the naive couple into a roller coaster ride of turbulent and devastating experiences. Relationships falter and trust is betrayed. Deception, conspiracy and inter-group rivalry are rife in this spiritual melting pot. Boys are smelted into men as they battle demons and angels in their heads. After a psycho-spiritual breakdown, Chris treads the hallowed path of spiritual return. In a series of reincarnation experiences he pieces together a tapestry of the group''s past lives. They had all shared lives in The English Civil War period! Royalists again plot against Parliamentarians, in a virtual re-enactment of the political power struggle of the 17th century. Chris rises quickly through the ranks, until he is DB''s main advisor. His meteoric rise creates enemies in both circles. In the final climax, DB confirms a past life link to the historical King Arthur, the 6th century Romano-Celt war leader. With his spiritual destiny revealed, he experiences The Burning Ground and prepares for his karmic duty, to retread the Quest for the Holy Grail.

He returns to work after being injured while off duty because he 'got it wrong' with a suspect during an investigation into people trafficking called Operation Footfall. Having resolved to do his penance of checking cold cases because of his earlier mistake, he is unexpectedly given the job of investigating the murder of someone who might have been connected to his earlier case.

Teamed with a new detective sergeant he interviews a woman who was well known in the 'escort' business and who has a surprising connection to his senior officer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Made famous by Homer, the stunning hillsides and islands of southern Greece seem to have been forgotten by modern tourists.

No longer threatened by the Cyclops, the island of Elafanisos is now a haven of beaches and tavernas. Monemvasia's citadel is in ruins, but the town and surrounding vineyards thrive. The writers plunge into Greek village life with abandon, learning to sing folksongs and dance to the bazouki, and sampling local wines, olives, and savory dishes. Entertaining and poignant, the essays capture all the charms, both ancient and modern, of this delightfully undiscovered region.

Download or read book Something Beautiful Happened written by Yvette Manessis Corporon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother's stories about how the people of the small Greek island Erikousa hid a Jewish family -- a tailor named Savvas and his daughters -- from the Nazis during World War II. Nearly 2,000 Jews from that area died in the concentration camps, but even though everyone on Erikousa knew Savvas and his family were hiding on the island, no one ever gave them up, and the family survived the war. Years later, Yvette couldn't get the story of the Jewish tailor out of her head. She decided to track down the man's descendants -- and eventually found them in Israel. Their tearful reunion was proof to her that evil doesn't always win. But just days after she made the connection, her cousin's child was gunned down in a parking lot in Kansas, a victim of a Neo-Nazi out to inflict as much harm as he could. Despite her best hopes, she was forced to confront the fact that seventy years after the Nazis were defeated, it was still happening today. As Yvette and her family wrestled with the tragedy in their own lives, the lessons she learned from the survivors of the Holocaust helped her confront and make sense of the present.
