Since I Was a Princess: The Fourteen-Year Fight to Find My Children
Par Jacqueline Pascarl. 2007
In Once I Was a Princess, Jacqueline Pascarl related the gripping story of her abusive childhood and her subsequent teen…
marriage to a prince. What should have been a fairy tale with a happy ending deteriorated into a nightmare of deceit and betrayal - ending in the kidnapping of her two small children by her former husband, who spirited them back to Malaysia.In Since I Was a Princess, Pascarl peels back the layers of her life after the abduction. She tells how she channelled her grief, forging an existence as an aid worker and humanitarian ambassador in war-torn countries and working with refugees and the dispossessed. She describes how she persuaded some of the world's most influential figures to support her aid work and became a human rights activist on the international stage, championing the cause of other parents whose children had been kidnapped and reuniting scores of families.Pascarl also explains how she lived frenetically as she painfully rebuilt her life and re-evaluated her relationships, grappling with the emotional complexities of a new pregnancy and beginning a second family. And she reveals for the first time the dramatic details of how, at last, she was able to be reunited with her long-lost children and make her family whole.Candid and compelling, Since I Was a Princess is an unforgettable ride through tragedy, loss and, finally, triumph.Sin.Net
Par Helena Ravenscroft. 2001
An overbearing brother and a bullying husband have made Carrie unsure of her sexuality. All this changes when she discovers…
the steamy world of adult internet chat rooms. Assuming the name Dominique, she soon begins a number of X-rated, on-line liasons.Her attempts to juggle reality with her virtual life are complicated, however, by the advances of Max - a great bear of a man who won't take no for an answer - and by Sam, a young internet addict with a tempting line in lustful submission. And when she employs a sulky male house-slave with blond ringlets and a taut young bottom, Carrie is suddenly having more fun than ever before. Is it submission or strength that she truly desires in her partners, or can she blend all the admirable qualities of Dominique into her own personality?Simply Thrilled: The Preposterous Story of Postcard Records
Par Simon Goddard. 2014
They had just a few hundred pounds, one band missing a drummer, a sock drawer for an office, more dreams…
than sense and not a clue between them how to run a record company. But when Alan Horne and Edwyn Collins decided to start their own label from a shabby Glasgow flat in 1979, nobody was going to stand in their way.Postcard Records was the mad, makeshift and quite preposterous result. Launching the careers of Orange Juice, Aztec Camera and cult heroes Josef K, the self-styled ‘Sound of Young Scotland’ stuck it to the London music biz and, quite by accident, kickstarted the 1980s indie music revolution.Simon Goddard has interviewed everyone involved in the making of the Postcard legend to tell this thrilling rock’n’roll story of punk audacity, knickerbocker glories, broken windscreens, raccoon-fur hats, comedy, violence and creating something beautiful from nothing, against all the odds.Simply Italian: Cooking at Home with the Chiappa Sisters
