The Portuguese Immigrant: Atlantic Heritage Story by Devin Meireles

The Portuguese Immigrant: Atlantic Heritage Story is a narrative non-fiction book about the author’s family history—particularly the lives of their paternal ancestors from Sao Miguel Island in Portugal. The story begins with their great-grandparents before shifting focus to their paternal grandparents and their unconditional love for each other. Their relationship overcame many obstacles of the time and they were physically separated for nearly three years after leaving the homeland. They became immigrants in Canada—a place where the author found themselves born and raised, being something that they are grateful for yet fascinated to reflect on the history of how it happened.

The Legend Is Born by GERALD R KNIGHT

The Legend Is Born by GERALD R KNIGHT

This faraway, pre-contact story begins with Helkena, a young, still untattooed girl enduring a typhoon crashing over the only island she has ever known. Her home is Wōtto, one of the dry, windswept atolls of the northern Marshall Islands. The newborn infant Ḷainjin has just been entrusted to her care by his mother, who has sailed her fleet of proas into the open ocean to save them from certain destruction.

Helkena, having barely survived the storm, must now travel to Naṃdik, a wet atoll in the southern rain belt of the Rālik Chain. As Ḷainjin’s surrogate mother, she will sail with the infant by outrigger canoe in the company of his maternal grandfathers. These kind men had recently helped the Wōtto Islanders overcome the terrible drought that typically follows a typhoon. With the trade-wind season approaching, it’s soon time to complete their voyage. The grandfathers begin teaching Helkena the traditional navigational arts along the way.
Her goal is to get her tattoos on Naṃdik and, in time, to find a man there to take home to Wōtto. But will she entice a man from the lush south to her barren desert island?

Far from being a simple story, this colorful, romantic tale presents a surprising background to the lovemaking culture of the Marshall Islands. It also reveals the early years of young Ḷainjin, the hero of the Legends of Ḷainjin historical literary fiction series

Roy Taylor :-“African Sunsets ” A Settlers’ Story

About Roy Taylor :-“African Sunsets ” A Settlers’ Story:

This is an adventure story like no other. The book starts in Scotland and traverses the globe to distant Africa to one of Britain’s colonies, Kenya. It is based in times when the Crown was omnipotent and Settler’s had to be tough and resilient to survive there. The story outlines a loving relationship that not only endures some of the most challenging events but it also demonstrates how huge success was enjoyed even under the most testing circumstances. The book has some basis in factual events from the author’s youth, his Grandparents were some of these early settlers similar to those in the story. Many of the stories that are incorporated into this fictional tale have a factual foundation and the characters in the book were presented with situations just like the original Settlers with the harsh reality that they had left their Motherland which became a reality immediately upon disembarking from the ship that had carried them away to this primitive, unsettled new life.
From the beginning, the book takes us into Africa where wildlife and human interactions were an everyday reality. The opulent lifestyle of having African servants and high living were a reality and along with the hardships of being isolated in the bush far from any neighbors, it became a necessity to take all the steps to protect the family against primitive savagery as the indigenous population became more and more resistant to the oppression of strict rule under a far distant king and his loyal military Governors. This is a book that will grip you with the unexpected at every page turn!

Seeking the Light of Justice by Barry Nadel

Seeking the Light of Justice by Barry Nadel

Sometimes even an innocent discovery could turn into the worst of nightmares…

Prof. Yoshua Rosenberg, who has been researching the legends of the Light of Justice for years with his archaeologists, discovers the cover of General Aharon Dori’s Hoshiyan Chronicles from the binding of a 500-year-old book and decides to publish it on the Internet.

The release of the cover, however, intercepted by Vatican security, unleashes the wrath of the Church and the Pope, who had an ancient order to destroy the Chronicles or anything having to do with its author, and this leads to the outbreak of the Vatican’s secret war against the Chronicles.

Clues lead the professor and his team to the house of study where the chronicles were written in Spain. The professor uncovers a bombing plot by Basque separatists. During the excavation they open a sealed room exposing the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition. They find forty-six Jewish bodies left to suffocate!

Bewildered, they are illegally arrested by the deputy interior minister and thrown into a notorious Spanish prison.

What will become of them now that they are privy to all these secrets?

From where will there salvation come?

MARY raised in a house of fallen doves by Janis Hoffman

MARY raised in a house of fallen doves by Janis Hoffman

This handwritten story was in an old chest I bought at an auction in Walton, NY.
The name Mary Faraday does not appear in any of the old records. Whoever wrote the words shamelessly talks about things rarely mentioned in stories of the Wild West. She describes the way it really was long ago in the gold fields of the Sierras and among the soiled doves of San Francisco. Not the sugar coated fairy tales of book and Hollywood.
Ride along with her into the Wild West of long ago. Into the Vastness.

I liked the humor…Indians and whorehouses and the characters were developed to make the story fun. Also loved the old pictures.
Joanhughs

A brilliant read!!
Original, cleaver and very different.
