Agathe von Trapp
PublishAmerica, 2004
The REAL story!
This a fabulous book on so many levels. First, it does of a wonderful job of explaining how little the movie "The Sound of Music" resembles the family it represents. Agathe is the oldest daughter of Georg von Trapp and his first wife Agathe Whitehead. She is in the unique position of having experienced more than almost any other sibling. What gaps she has found in her memory have been filled with ...

Historical fiction that reads like an interesting memoir...
I just finished reading it and I have to say, I really enjoyed this book! Very well researched and well written, the author weaves historical facts into the story with elegant ease, which makes it not only fun to read but also informative. There was even a point when I had to double check to make sure this was really a work of fiction and not a real memoir by Victoria Battenberg. You really get ...

Mary Jo Rapini
PublishAmerica, 2006
Great Read!
It's difficult to say that I 'enjoyed' this book ---- it's hard to read about someone's near death and about cancer and find it enjoyable; but, am so glad that I did read it! Mary Jo's experiences are definitely interesting, heart wrenching, and understandable. I've been telling lots of folks about this book and even bought additional copies to give to people. I would strongly encourage ...

Many Americans say they?ve heard of Big Brother, but even those who?ve read George Orwell?s 1984 say America is still light years from Orwell?s futuristic society about an all-powerful government intent on controlling the lives and minds of its citizens. But like Orwell?s outer party members and especially the functionally illiterate proles, many Americans are living in a delusional state. Big Brother is real! And those Americans who still ...

PublishAmerica, 2009
I'm scared. The words barely left her lips. You should be. "There's nothing to fear," he assured her, his blue eyes capturing hers, looking deep into their golden depths. He held her there with his gaze thinking about - no, savoring - what was to come. ?I don't know if I'll be able to drink blood," she admitted with a slight stammer. Ah, but you already have. "You'll be fine, I'll take care of it," he whispered in her mind. His voice was so deep ...

I have been a student of Grand Master Dong's for more than twelve years. The Grand Master never ceases to amaze me in the mount of energy and care that he puts into everything. I knew that he was working on a book and I waited patiently, not asking anyone about it so that it would be a total surprise to me.

He has a very successful company,but he had to struggle like everyone does when you start a new venture, and what he does is alert you to the pitfalls that can happen if you dont follow the ...
