Chris wants to believe that he is in total control of his life. But after a near-death experience, someone-or something-has appeared in his sleep each night, trying to tell him differently. His dreams take him to a grave site guarded by a hooded figure who shows him the faces of strangers destined to die soon. At first, he accepts this as some sort of brain malfunction caused by his accident. But when he meets a young woman in his waking hours who also appears in his dream, he begins to question whether her seemingly predestined fate can be changed or not. Has her death already been determined...or can he defy the entity that has turned his dreams into nightmares?

It's 1952 and Mabel is feeling the weight of being a mother to three young children and running the bakery. And now that Mark knows he is Matthew's father, she's afraid Luke will discover the truth. In this gripping story about family, fate, and forgiveness, a number of characters from The Year With No Spring reprise their roles, including Lily and her protector, Ed Baxter, who is harbouring a secret of his own; one that could jeopardize his future with the woman he loves. Several new characters round out this richly woven story that delves into the punishing social norms of a bygone time, the fragile nature of relationships, the importance of forgiveness, and the possibility that our fates are predetermined. As always, Mabel is there to help her friends deal with their fears, doubts, and heartbreaking loss, even if it takes a toll on her own physical and emotional well-being. In this, the fifth instalment in The Bread Maker series, the author once again takes you on a nostalgic journey back in time. Her signature style of fast-paced, dramatic storylines, interspersed with bursts of humour, will intrigue, amuse, and surprise readers, leaving them to wonder what's next for the memorable cast of characters they've come to know and love.

Poetry that is but also is not, taken to unusual levels in an imaginative style that always makes you wonder where you will be taken this time. Poetry, a few short stories and quotes serve as the launching pad for Elaine M. Mullen, also known as the GreenOgress, to introduce more writings that are novel and relevant. Their appeal lies in their diversity and scope: investigating, exploring and exposing both the lighter and darker shades of humanity. Closely followed by Google and known to many via Twitter, Scriggler. com and other writing platforms, she has charmed even the most reluctant of readers to give poetry a second glance and second chance. Be the topics simple or complex, contemporary or historical, internal or external, her maxim is that vague scripting is to be avoided at all costs: I will never use a fi ve-dollar word when a fi fty-cent one will do just as well. As with her three previous books, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

About This Book This book was actually written about me. I had used the name John D. Robinson as the main character in my other two books titled, “ The System of Things I and II”. At that time I was still working for the government as a state trooper. I knew my superiors would retaliate against me and would try to terminate me for exposing the truth. Although I had since retired, I decided to continue using the name John D. Robinson. Unlike my first two books that was written in a worldly manner; this book was written in a way that it could be read in a church. I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to know what really takes place behind the closed doors of our government. This book was written as a result of the injustice and corruption that I had seen as well as being a victim thereof. It was written in attempt to show that our system of government and society; how great it is in comparison to other nations; it could be better once one understand and realize what our system and society has become due to the zeal to be number one and racism. Having that being said, I wanted everyone to know that I truly believe in the Constitution of the United States of America, the Magna Carta, and the Bill of Rights. Those were some of the reasons why I served my country during a time of war. I joined and wasn’t drafted. This book was written to show that I also believe in our symbol of justice and the mission statement of the Statue of Liberty. This book was written for the benefit of every human being regardless of the color of ones skin, gender, religion, origin of birth, and or whether one is an ally or foe, or whether one is innocent or guilty; for everyone should be given the same benefits and rights that this country offers. This book was written especially for the men and women who had chose to get involved in the political process and to those individuals who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement, who live and died taking a stand for justice. Most importantly, I hope this book through the trials and tribulations of John D. Robinson will open your eyes so that one would have a peace of mind in knowing that having faith is the key to surviving physically, mentally, and spiritually; in spite of the negative current events and pandemic taking place in the world today. Respectfully Yours Luis E. Sweeney/John D. Robinson

At the conclusion of World War II, war crimes tribunals were carried out at Nuremberg, Germany. Justice was meted out for major war criminals, and Benjamin Ferencz was chief prosecutor for what the Associated Press said was the largest murder trial in history. This biography of the last living Nuremberg prosecutor traces his life from early childhood growing up as an immigrant in Hell's Kitchen in New York City, to Harvard Law School, to the U.S. Army and Patton's Judge Advocate War Crimes Investigation Section, to the Nuremberg Tribunals and beyond. His life has been spent working toward the goal of world peace through law, not war, including the successful formation of the International Criminal Court, in which Ferencz played a key role.
