In his late 40s, in a career and a marriage that have each lost their lustre, Chris Gale is someone to whom life never quite kept its promise. One morning, as he is leaving for work, he hears a song on the radio: a song that transports him back to an altogether better, happier time - the early 1970s, when youth, idealism and music, especially the music of singer-songwriter Helen Leonard, might have chnaged the world. Haunted by a raw sense of loss and a growing resentment at how life has turned out, Chris - goaded on by the mysterious, elusive apparition of the 'Beagle Man' - begins a physical, spiritual and emotional quest. Revisiting old haunts and old memories, he searches for an answer to a question that has haunted him, unanswered, for nearly 30 years: what did Fate hold in store for the woman he devoted himself to so entirely all those years ago - the maddening, mercurial, mischievous Helen Leonard... Witty, elegiac, affecting and, as the narrative unrolls, increasingly disturbing, FINDING HELEN is a novel about the consequences of loss - of innocence, idealism and youth, a novel about memory and obsession, betrayal and forgiveness and what might lie beyond the veil...

Tracy is a very troubled child living in a therapeutic care home in the 1980s. 'Finding Helen' uses an engaging mix of her caseworker's notes, heartfelt poetry which she writes to express her innermost thoughts and feelings, and a narrative of her volatile true-life story. As her case-worker Helen and the other staff attempt to understand the reasons behind Tracy's abusive and self-destructive behaviour, Tracy is torn between her desire to kill those around her and her desperate need to be loved. But as her negative behaviour escalates and the threat of psychiatric care becomes increasingly likely, can one woman's love be enough to save her?

Finding the Lost Treasure is a detective fiction novel written by Helen M. Persons, an adventure and mystery novelist and the author of “The Mystery of Arnold Hall”. Excerpts from the first chapter. The lives of the children had been simple, happy ones, until the recent death of their father and mother, hardly three months apart. John Wistmore, in whose veins flowed the blood of men of culture and ambition, had been anxious to give his children greater educational advantages than Sissiboo afforded. Jack, therefore, had been sent to Wolfville to school, and was now ready for college; while Desiré was looking forward to high school in the autumn

For those of us interested in nursing history, this book is a treasure. From it we have a first-hand account of nursing on the front lines during the fighting in France and Belgium during World War I. Helen Bulovsky, a recent nursing school graduate, enlisted in the Army and became part of the American Expeditionary Force, assigned to Base Hospital 22 in France. From her first days in the army, anxiously awaiting transport from New York to her battlefield stations, to her arrival back home in Wisconsin, we are able to follow her journey, her fears, homesickness, and occasional illnesses through her letters home. She describes taking care of large numbers of patients, of bombing raids and running for shelter in the middle of the night, being cold with too little clothing, poor food, and lack of water. In spite of the hardships, she kept her sense of humor. Photographs of the camps, other nurses and doctors, and souvenirs she brought or sent home are included as well as some of her poetry. A few years later, only nine months after she was married, Helen, at age 27, died at home of an acute enlargement of the heart. Her death was marked by a number of articles in the local newspaper. At the gravesite, taps was played and there was a 21 gun salute. This book was a labor of love for two cousins, who discovered that each possessed letters and memorabilia of their often talked about Aunt Helen. A lesson for all of us---to preserve such treasures for future generations. Shannon E. Perry, RN, PhD, FAAN Professor Emerita, San Francisco State University School of Nursing First Vice President, American Association for the History of Nursing From diary entries and over 100 intimate letters we learn of a dedicated young nurse's war experience as well as her ambitions, joys, and frustrations. She writes about her relationships with friends and colleagues and concern for her family back home. Helen's often humorous letters contain not only descriptions, insight and advice, but also expressions and attitudes of the time. Included are Helen's clever songs and poems, letters from friends, official letters, extra research and related information and Helen's own narrative, Behind the Trenches. "Received Smallpox vaccine in left arm. Triple typhoid in rt. arm...At 5 P.M. felt sick as any wounded soldier. Roommates were very nice to me. Half the old maids in this world are teachers and the other half are nurses." - Diary, April 5, 1918, Lakewood, New Jersey "It's a wild nightmare real war - trenches, entanglements & guns & worst of all, hundreds of patients. Pts. laying on the ground under trees - some on cots. No limit to our hrs. on duty. Damp ground and quarters. Take our clothes to bed to keep them dry. C.O. does nothing but cuss - said he hates women - Oh, it's lovely to be a woman in this man's army." - Diary, July 23, 1918, Sery-Magneval, France "To reach this town was my greatest ambition." - Letter, July 22, 1918 Sery-Magneval, France "It was some ride over the cobblestones and here we are in quarters well peppered with holes made by Germans just seven days ago. On night duty in the shock ward-300 pts run thru, 10 expired" - Diary, July 31, 1918, Chateau-Thierry "I had 5 German prisoners between 14 and 15 years of age and they were glad they were prisoners. Ruth and I decided that by next June we will either be in heaven, hell or Hoboken." - Letter, August 3, 1918 "No one can picture the horrors of the wee, small hours of the mornings in the shock ward" - Behind the Trenches "Are you a real American woman? How in God's name did you get into this bloody mess?" - Behind the Trenches

Finding Felicity is the story of a woman and her step-daughter and tells how love within their family triumphs over serious relationship problems. There are psychological insights into grief and dysfunctional marriage, development of the characters as they deal with these situations and a suspenseful escape from Bangkok to Sydney. The setting is these two cities in 2006. Chapter One begins in Sydney with Lydia waking to face the funeral of her much-loved husband, Richard. She is supported there by her step-children, Richard's son J.C. and daughter Margaret. At the wake, the question arises: why is Felicity (Fliss), the youngest step-child, not there? Lydia has a hunch that something is wrong in Felicity's life. When she visits the memorial garden where Richard's ashes are scattered, she feels his presence and talks to him, as she does throughout the book. She vows to Richard to visit Bangkok and look into Felicity's life there. On the flight to Thailand, Lydia reviews the experiences and characters of her three step-children.

As featured in The Mirror, this is the story of mother's quest to find her murdered daughter Burying a child is every parent's nightmare. But Marie McCourt has spent over 30 years yearning to do just that. On 9 February 1988, Marie's 22-year-old daughter, Helen, left her office in Liverpool city centre and began her usual commute home. But she was never seen again. . . Within days, local pub landlord Ian Simms was charged with her murder. Despite Helen's body not being found, overwhelming DNA and circumstantial evidence at his trial secured his conviction, and he was sentenced to life. But Simms' refusal to disclose the whereabouts of Helen's body means that Marie and her family have never been able to have a grave at which they can lay flowers and pay their respects. For over 30 years, Marie has searched, in vain, for her daughter's body and campaigned tirelessly to prevent other families from facing the same horrifying fate, taking her fight to the houses of parliament. The resulting 'Helen's Law', ground-breaking legislation that recognises the distress caused to families of missing homicide victims, was passed in November 2020. This is the incredible story of a mother, devastated by the loss of her daughter, who found the strength and determination to change the law.

It's a familiar story: a beautiful woman is abducted and her husband journeys to recover her. This story’s best-known incarnation is also a central Greek myth—the abduction of Helen that led to the Trojan War. Stealing Helen surveys a vast range of folktales and texts exhibiting the story pattern of the abducted beautiful wife and makes a detailed comparison with the Helen of Troy myth. Lowell Edmunds shows that certain Sanskrit, Welsh, and Old Irish texts suggest there was an Indo-European story of the abducted wife before the Helen myth of the Iliad became known. Investigating Helen’s status in ancient Greek sources, Edmunds argues that if Helen was just one trope of the abducted wife, the quest for Helen’s origin in Spartan cult can be abandoned, as can the quest for an Indo-European goddess who grew into the Helen myth. He explains that Helen was not a divine essence but a narrative figure that could replicate itself as needed, at various times or places in ancient Greece. Edmunds recovers some of these narrative Helens, such as those of the Pythagoreans and of Simon Magus, which then inspired the Helens of the Faust legend and Goethe. Stealing Helen offers a detailed critique of prevailing views behind the "real" Helen and presents an eye-opening exploration of the many sources for this international mythical and literary icon.
