This family saga takes place in New York City’s Greenwich Village. It begins in 1906 when nine-year-old Eddie is sent out by his mother to panhandle. Her husband is dying of tuberculosis and she is pregnant for the eleventh time. She can barely pay the rent, and her two youngest children have no shoes. There is no money for food and to keep the family warm over the winter she burns every stick of furniture in their one-bedroom basement apartment. As the Paul family’s story unfolds, it is at the same time told through the eyes of Eddie as he grows up on the tough streets of Greenwich Village.

Being a Normandy Veteran as well as a PoW in both the USA and UK, I did draw on my own experience in writing this book hoping to bring out the reality of war. War is not a game. The story Alfred is a story written in fictional form but based on facts and in chronological order. I hope it touches the reader's heart and conscious as the pain and stress suffered by these Heroes is unknown, why? Because they never talk about these events. To them it was just another job.

As Stephen Wilson grew up the middle of three boys, he transformed into an all-around athlete and sports enthusiast who loved collecting baseball and hockey cards, rooting for the Minnesota twins, and playing soccer. As he prepared to graduate from high school, his mother Bonnie thought he might attend college on a soccer scholarship. But Stephen had other plans. He wanted to enlist in the Marines. In a touching memoir, Bonnie Schreiner shares the story of her sons journey through life as he matured from a boy into a courageous Marine dedicated to serving his country. Bonnie details how his deployments led him to Okinawa, Japan, Helsinki, Finland, and Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where he married his girlfriend, Linda, in December 2001. As his tours of duty took Stephen to Iraq three times, Bonnie reveals how she fervently prayed for God to keep him in the palm of His hand. But when she received the dreaded knock on her door from two Marines during his third tour of duty, Bonnie shares a glimpse into a mothers worst nightmare as she realized her prayers had not been answered as well as her subsequent journey to find healing and hope amid her pain. A Mother Remembers is a tribute to a young Marine who, at age twenty-eight, made the ultimate sacrifice by giving his life for his country.

I wasn't afraid of death. How could I be? I lived under death's shadow every day. When you swallow eighty Vicodin, twenty sleeping pills, drink a bottle of vodka, and still survive, a certain sense of invulnerability stays with you. When you continually use drugs with the kind of reckless determination that I did, the limit to how much heroin or crack you can ingest is not defined in dollar amounts, but in the amounts your body can withstand without experiencing a seizure or respiratory failure. Yet at the end of every binge, every night of lining up six, seven, eight crack pipes and hitting them one after the other bam! bam! bam! every night of smoking and snorting bag after bag of heroin . . . after all of that, when you still wake up to see the same dirty sky over you as the night before, you start to think that instead of dying, maybe your punishment is to live---to be stuck in this purgatory of self-abuse and misery for an eternity. Sometimes you start to think that death would come as a blessed relief. Toward the end, I found myself contemplating death again. Only this time I wasn't going to leave it to chance. I was going to buy a gun, load the thing, place the barrel in my mouth, and blow my fucking brains out. I sat on my parents' sofa as I pondered this. All I needed was a gun. And then all-- of my problems-- would be solved.

Death is inevitable but Brendan continues to believe that his life has meaning; with God becoming his closest friend. In the book, Brendan speaks to God, who responds personally to him.Although depressed, disappointed, and disheartened at times, he continues to search for a rainbow. The quality of his life, determination to survive and still maintain a proper perspective of what seems at times, an illogical world, becomes his mission in this world. Adults are amazed at his intelligence and zest for life. Brendan was not the only victim of Agent Orange. His father, Ron Olsen, suffered its consequences too.

A Forgotten Hero is a novella by Emily Sarah Holt. Holt was an English novelist known mainly for her historical novels for children. Excerpt: "The preparations for sleep were almost as primitive as those for meals. Exalted persons, such as the Earl and Countess, slept in handsome bedsteads, of the tent form, hung with silk curtains, and spread with coverlets of fur, silk, or tapestry. They washed in silver basins, with ewers of the same costly metal; and they sat, the highest rank in curule chairs, the lower upon velvet-cove red forms or stools. But ordinary people, of whom Clarice was one, were not provided for in this luxurious style. Bower-maidens slept in pallet-beds, which were made extremely low, so as to run easily under one of the larger bedsteads, and thus be put out of the way."
