A young woman sets out from Ireland for Liverpool in the 1950s and finds success as a fashion designer... but will she find love too? A Daughter's Journey is a poignant saga from Lyn Andrews that follows a young woman as she finds her independence, before heartache threatens to take it away. Perfect for fans of Anne Baker, Maureen Lee and Katie Flynn. Angela O'Rourke is six when her parents hand her over to an aunt and uncle in a distant village. It's a common practice for large, hard-up families in 1950s Ireland, but for Angela it means that her mother and father don't love her any more. Angela is well cared for until she's sixteen, but then her uncle takes to drink, and it's not safe for her to stay in his house. Moving to Liverpool in the early 1960s, she begins to make her mark in the world of fashion design. But the pain of a disastrous love affair sends her home to Ireland just after the death of her aunt: and there, among old papers, Angela makes an astonishing discovery. As she learns the truth about the past, a brighter new future beckons. What readers are saying about A Daughter's Journey: 'What a fantastic book. The best book I've read in a long time. Great story from start to finish and well written' 'A great, heart-warming read for a Sunday afternoon'

This book is about a father and daughter driving a jeep, packed to the top with household items, and towing a large storage box, laden with heavy household and garage machines, from London to Bulgaria by crossing three countries. The daughter did the driving. It was tough, on a time limit, and by no means trouble-free. Just when I thought my hard work was over, and I was about to go home, my nightmare was about to start. Heather is an experienced distance driver, often travelling from Ireland to Wales or, driving for many miles in Spain, but not anything quite as distant as what she was about to take on. Heather considered herself fairly fit because she was a dressage rider and trained at least four times a week on her lovely horse, Ebony Lady. Heather had not seen her dad in two years, although they spoke on the phone nearly every day, so this journey was a holiday to her as well as an adventure driving through Europe with her dad.

"Goodnight Mommy," a young five year old girl says to her mother, upon being tucked into bed for the night. The covers are snugly tucked around her very tired body, as the light is turned off and her eyes slowly close for a good night's rest. She is abruptly awakened at 3 am by her father, telling her to get dressed. "Mommy ran away." That would be the last time this young girl would ever hear the words "good night" from her mother. After multiple arrests, endless arguments, and abuse, Lonene finally decided to leave her husband. The couple argued in the wee hours of the morning on January 7, 1981... and the next morning she was gone without a trace. Her husband claimed she ran away with another man. There are many clues in a thick Cold Case file that is now 40 years old, that indicates a very different story. Although, without a body, these clues are circumstantial. A Daughter's Journey...and Story of Resilience, details the life of Lonene Ray Rogers and that of her daughter, Alison. You will read horrific stories, and devastating events that took place in the lives of this mother and daughter, yet the legacy of the story is not one of sadness. It is one of resilience. Read how Alison decided to "rewrite the story" in her mother's honor. Prepare to laugh, cry, and be inspired. A Daughter's Journey is a book you will not be able to put down, or soon forget.

In 1986, when her mother died at the age of sixty-four, Eleanor Reissa went through all of her belongings. In the back of her mother’s lingerie drawer, she found an old leather purse. Inside that purse was a large wad of folded papers. They were letters. Fifty-six of them. In German. Written in 1949. Letters from her father to her mother, when they were courting. Just four years earlier, he had fought to stay alive in Auschwitz and on the Death March while she had spent the war years suffering in Uzbekistan. Thirty years later, Eleanor—a theatre artist who has been on the forefront of keeping Yiddish alive—finally had the letters translated. The particulars of those letters send her off on an unimaginable adventure into the past, forever changing her and anyone who reads this book. “‘The Holocaust,’ Eleanor Reissa writes in this unforgettable and courageous book, ‘is attached to me like my skin and I would be formless without it.’ A very personal story that is also a fundamental one of a woman trying to make sense of her life and family and of the shadows that go back before she was born. There is plenty of feeling and sentiment but it never feels sentimental. Her inimitable wit leavens the sadder scenes. This journey of discovery is riveting, told with tender insight, at times heartbreaking and at times heartwarming just like the Yiddish songs that have delighted Ms. Reissa’s audiences.” —Joseph Berger is a New York Times reporter and author of Displaced Persons: Growing Up American After the Holocaust “Among the great number of personal takes on the Holocaust, Eleanor Reissa’s book really stands out, both for its intelligence and courage and for the unique way she braids the inter-generational stories together. In this brutal, poignant, and searingly honest book, Reissa simultaneously pieces together the unfathomable story of her Holocaust survivor father, reckons with the guilt she came to feel as his uncomprehending American daughter, and manages somehow to find insight and purpose in the ashes. This extraordinary account of two parallel journeys will stick with anyone privileged enough to read it.” —David Margolick, a former reporter for The New York Times, author of several books, including, most recently, The Promise and the Dream: The Untold Story of Martin Luther King, Jr. And Robert F. Kennedy “The Letters Project is a wonderful book—funny, heartbreaking, and ultimately transcendent. Eleanor Reissa’s journey back into her family’s past makes for a gripping—and very human—international mystery. I highly recommend it.” —Tony Phelan, TV Showrunner for: Grey’s Anatomy, Doubt, and Council of Dads “Eleanor Reissa has written a gritty, fearless yet funny memoir about herself, her family, and the Holocaust. Once I began reading it, I was completely swept away until the journey ended. I was moved by the power of this uniquely personal yet universal story.” —Julian Schlossberg is an American motion pictures, theatre, and television producer

"There have been women trailblazers throughout American history, but no book has ever taken their perils and said, 'now this is how you achieve success.' This wonderful book takes lemons and turns them into lemon candy and cough drops to comfort and sooth the soul." --L. Marilyn Crawford Pres. and CEO Primetime Omnimedia & Symbiotic Pictures. THE STORY ... At sixteen years old, Anna Lee, the beautiful daughter of a traditional, wealthy Chinese couple, wants nothing more than to move to America, go to college, and embark on a life of excitement and glamour-far away from the stifling conventions of 1960's Hong Kong. But when she discovers that she is pregnant, after one sexual encounter with Raymond, a boy she doesn't love, everything changes. She moves to America as a poor, unhappy young married woman-who left her child behind with her parents without a second thought. Seven years later, that child, Lily Chang, boards a plane to join her unfamiliar family in America. Her new home is a strange and foreign world devoid of the love and affection her grandparents had bestowed upon her; her mother treats her like a maid, her younger brother hatefully pees in her bed, and her father begins to sexually abuse her. Only her baby sister, Cindy, seems to know how to love. Only in learning to forgive herself, can Anna begin to bring herself to Lily as a mother, and only in forgiving her mother, can Lily begin to figure out who she is as a young Chinese woman in America. China Girl is the first novel in the "Lemonade Series" by NBC Universal Executive, Sophie Mokhtari. With international, multicultural settings, this series of novels focuses on creating a "sweet" life out of "sour" circumstances in worlds of varied races, ethnicities and religious backgrounds. The goal of this series is to provide a voice for women who have suffered and to bring hope to all those who want to survive and succeed with strength and courage.
