Download or read book War Tourist written by Hilary Brown and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilary Brown has filed television reports from every continent except Antarctica. She was once profiled on TVO’s ‘The Agenda’ as ‘Canada’s best-ever female foreign correspondent.’ This embarrasses her. She was one of the last journalists to be lifted by helicopter from the roof of the American Embassy in Saigon in 1975, during the Communist takeover of South Vietnam. One of her ABC reports later appeared in the motion picture ‘The Deer Hunter’ in what Brown calls her ‘fifteen seconds of fame.’ During the 1980’s she was an Anchor for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto, an experience she describes as ‘death by hairspray.’ She later returned to ABC News for another 18 years to do the work she loved best: foreign news reporting. She was married to the British biographer and BBC correspondent John Bierman, who she met in Pakistan during the Indo-Pak war of 1971. He became her mentor, best friend, and father of her only child. Their life together, in half a dozen countries over three decades, is a great love story that only ended with his death in 2006. As a widow, Brown continued to work at what she calls ‘the best job in the world’ before she finally hung up her trench coat. Two years later she fell in love with a Canadian businessman who, until the global pandemic, flew her around the world in the relentless pursuit of pseudo-extreme sports for which she was totally unqualified. She says he keeps her in a constant state of excitement and fear, which is just like being a foreign correspondent, all over again. Foreign correspondents are like war tourists in flak jackets,’ she writes. ‘They document human misery, and then move on.’ But many are left with the emotional baggage of guilt, and a search for atonement. This is one of the many themes in Brown’s lively memoir, and it’s quite a ride. To readers of all ages, but especially her own, her message is that life is never over... until it’s over.

Book excerpt: A kidnapping gone wrong. A chronically ill child. And a union nobody sees coming…except the barrel of a gun. Quin Hedger is a rare breed. He’s a doctor who grew up on a ranch, with four brothers, a pious mother and a father who left this earth not long ago. Quin is hard-working, has a heart of gold, and will do anything for any of his patients, namely one. Getting little Trinity a new kidney isn’t any easy task, but he’s been at it since she was a baby and he isn’t giving up, not even when her corrupt Uncle arranges an ill-fated kidnapping that has a sudden twist. Whitney has raised Trinity all but on her own. Trinity’s father left when he couldn’t handle dealing with a sick child, but thankfully her brother Peter is there to sweep up the bits and fill the gaps…until he’s more trouble than he’s worth. Trinity’s doctor, who insists on being called ‘Dr. Quin’ as a kind sentiment, has always put her daughter front and center, so it tugs at both their heartstrings when they have to watch her health start to deteriorate. When Trinity’s father surprises Quin and Whitney, they’re led down a path of hope, only to be let down once again, as Trinity lays in hospital, missing out on her young life. Although hopeful, Quin keeps hitting brick walls in his quest to find what the little girl needs, and in doing so, he also finds what he’s always needed, but he can’t have both until the one he loves can love again. It’s a slippery slope and a tricky one at best. And when Quin finally sees the fog clear, he finds himself looking down the barrel of a gun.

Her prowess in the courtroom is enough to shun any criminal into retirement. But her partnership in the legal firm is sullied by the big cheese, who burdens his staff with large case loads while he basks on his yacht for sport. The ranch she grew up on seems a distant memory most weeks, while she prepares briefings and depositions for her clients, and her family slops horse manure and raises beasts, all while missing their beloved sister and daughter. Until Chad Hedger walks into the firm one day, dulling her focus and warming her bed, quicker than she could win a case. Chad Hedger lives a life most men would only dream of, with one exception. He’s a successful attorney, single, painfully handsome, and has enough charm to win over any female. Trouble is, no female has ever caught his eye. And his family life is displaced so much that any woman would run the other way. When Chad is disowned by his father, he’s forced to move from his beloved hometown in Dallas, to El Paso, and has been sworn to never look back. And when he begins working for the same law firm as Rachel Thomas, he begins missing Dallas more than ever. Rachel is the only salvation Chad has, but is that enough? When tragedy strikes back home in Dallas, Chad has to make a quick decision, and move back to his hometown, leaving behind a girl who has shown him more love than anyone else has his entire life. He has to choose between two things that matter more to him than anything, but he doesn’t realize that there is a third thing. And neither does Rachel, until Chad’s bags are packed. Is it too late?
