Two men in 1980s Pietermaritzburg are drawn to the same woman, Abby, quickly becoming each other’s nemesis in a political climate where resistance of any kind often invited executions, factional clashes, clandestine activity, treachery and entrapment. Abby unwittingly becomes the object of a dangerous obsession as the archenemies, not content with displacing the other in her affections, play to ensure the other’s annihilation, none foreseeing the theatre their deadly encounter would be staged, culminating in a clash that potentially destabilizes the entire region and, for one of them, leaves a lasting legacy of shattered hopes, broken dreams, a life destroyed.

At one time, heart disease was a death sentence. In The Heart Healers, world renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. James Forrester tells the story of the mavericks and rebels who defied the accumulated medical wisdom of the day to begin conquering heart disease. By the middle of the 20th century, heart disease was killing millions and, as with the Black Death centuries before, physicians stood helpless. Visionaries, though, had begun to make strides earlier. On Sept. 7, 1895, Ludwig Rehn successfully sutured the heart of a living man with a knife wound to the chest for the first time. Once it was deemed possible to perform surgery on the heart, others followed. In 1929, Dr. Werner Forssman inserted a cardiac catheter in his own arm and forced the x-ray technician on duty to take a photo as he successfully threaded it down the vein into his own heart...and lived. On June 6, 1944 - D-Day - another momentous event occurred far from the Normandy beaches: Dr. Dwight Harken sutured the shrapnel-injured heart of a young soldier, saved his life and the term "cardiac surgeon" born. Dr. Forrester tells the story of these rebels and the risks they took with their own lives and the lives of others to heal the most elemental of human organs - the heart. The result is a compelling chronicle of a disease and its cure, a disease that is still with us, but one that is slowly being worn away by "The Heart Healers".

"If you're reading this, consider yourself lucky- you've stumbled across one of the best books ever written. Walter Staples has put so much wisdom and so many practical strategies for success into this book that it could have been three books. What a treasure chest for anyone serious about greater success and more happiness in every area of their life." Jack Canfield Coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul "This book has an important message-how to master the process of personal empowerment to help ourselves and others live fuller, more productive lives." Denis Waitley, Ph.D. Author of The Psychology of Winning and Seeds of Greatness "When you become master of your inner world, you become master of your outer world." So states Walter Staples in his new book. The author wants the reader to experience a spiritual awakening in order to develop a whole new sense of self, which affects every aspect of life. Everything is rooted in basic psychological principles, yet few people have been exposed to formal psychological education. As a consequence, most people live their lives without knowing who they really are, without knowing their true self. Everything necessary to find the true self comes from within: an open mind, curiosity, and ambition. This is the instruction book to use to achieve that goal. Dr. Staples is one of America's leading authorities on human potential and personal empowerment. An active speaker, he is the author of the international best seller, Think Like a Winner!, and Power to Win!, both published by Pelican.
