What if it all took place in the early 18th century in Rhode Island and New England? These are The Chronicles of Benjamin Prescott.Benjamin Prescott runs from the scene of his father's murder at the hands of his uncle and arrives in the colonial capital of Newport. He assumes a new identity in fear that his uncle will hunt him down as the only witness to his crime. As Thomas Gray, he is befriended by a group of street orphans known as the Dock Rats, who survive by carrying messages for the businesses and colonial offices of Newport. When it is discovered by his friends that Tom can read and write, he agrees yo teach them using the only book he possesses: the King James Bible given to him by his father with the admonishment to never let it out of his possession. Tom warns his fellow Dock Rats to keep their ability to read and write secret. It is because they are thought unable to read that people trust them to deliver their messages.Tom is introduced to a well-known tavern, The White Horse Inn, by a fellow Dock Rat who becomes his best friend for the rest of his life. Because of the owner's kindness, Tom prospers and, as Newport grows in importance, so does the circle of acquaintances who learn of Thomas Gray's talents in reading, writing, and mathematics. He becomes the minute's secretary for the Town Council and is engaged as secretary to a famous philosopher who comes to Newport. This person becomes his early benefactor, and he will be rewarded for his kindness as a direct result of Tom's actions. Tom becomes an integral part of the White Horse Tavern family and when the husband of the owner dies, he pledges to care for his widow.Tom has always been curious about what his father said when he returned from the sea about his Bible: "This is where your fortune be. Mind you! Ye must look within it carefully to find the way." Tom discovers the clues to the mystery within the Bible. The discovery of an incredible pirate treasure leads to the adventure of his life, and enables him to continue his education, gain success and prominence within the community of Newport, and empowers him to take revenge upon his uncle and gain his rightful inheritance.

Gloria Gemma's Forever in Our Hearts brings you the stories of ten courageous people who share their vulnerable stories of love and loss, how their loss changed their lives, and how life continues in the wake of their loss. Their intent is that their story offers hope and inspiration to the reader.The Gloria Gemma Foundation states in the introduction that, "Grief is a unique and often muddy creature. It is defined as 'deep sorrow, especially that caused by someone's death, ' but grief can be more than an emotion; it can impact our physical, behavioral, and spiritual wellbeing. Some people deal with their loss and move forward, while others seem perpetually fixed in a state of mourning, unable to experience true happiness-even years after their loss."In these stories, you'll discover: That you're not in it aloneInspiration to take actionEach story of grief is uniqueThere's no right or wrong way to grieveFeeling your emotions is the only way to process griefSelf care is of utmost importanceThese heartfelt stories are written from the authentic heart with many details of their own and their loved ones' journeys. This is the first of the series that will be published over the upcoming years, as everyone's story is important to share."I would be lying if I said this wasn't hard. Talking about loved ones we've lost is one thing; reliving the heartache is something totally different. But for as many times that I thought I couldn't write my chapter, there were just as many moments that I felt extreme gratitude for this opportunity. Not only was it an opportunity to tell the story of my loved ones and my journey with grief, it was also an opportunity to further heal and remind myself and others that so much good can come from a great deal of sadness. Writing my story and hearing the stories of others during our monthly calls provided a missing piece to healing that I didn't even know I needed. Contributing to this project was a reminder that I am not alone in my grief and that hope is always present." -Author Christina Pirolli

"While hospitalized I was diagnosed with major depression, PTSD, and RO Bipolar Disorder. I was discharged three weeks later with Depakote and Zoloft. The Depakote was used to treat my bipolar symptoms while the Zoloft was used as an antidepressant. I felt like I was staring into space at this point since I was so doped up. Medication was their method to sustain me whenever I was out of control."This memoir was motivated by my experiences growing up and becoming an adult. Despite all the hardships and challenges I encountered, I decided to keep moving forward. I have been abused in some of the worst ways possible, yet I never let it stop me from becoming the person I was meant to be. This tale is about overcoming obstacles and forging your own path toward the life you envision. I hope that each person who reads this will come away from it with the motivation to keep going.Thank you.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to support The Broken Chains Ministries. Gina Russo Barbosa may be best known for her appearance on the TV program Dr. Phil where she appeared with her husband, Brian "The Bull" Barbosa, a former Interim World Champion boxer. In the segment titled "Beauty and The Boxer," Gina brought Brian's heartbreaking story of brain injury, trauma, and addiction to the world in an attempt to get him the help he's so desperately needed. Gina was able to accomplish this because she was no stranger to addiction and narcissistic behavior. Broken Chains is Beauty and The Boxer's back story. It's Gina's story of domestic violence, addiction; Trauma and PTSD. It's the unveiling of the downfall of a naïve Pastor's daughter. From teen pregnancy to prison; prostitution, and psych wards, near fatal attacks and attempted suicide. It's all the things she learned in life that gave her the ability to finally tame, "The Bull". It's everything you didn't see in the Dr. Phil episode; The before, the after, and where they are now. It is jam packed with a roller coaster ride of evil acts and mind-blowing miracles. Today, as an ordained Minister, Chaplain, recovery coach, Founder of Broken Chains Ministries, Gina travels the country sharing her inspirational story and working to help those who suffer from these afflictions in their own lives. "In the often cold and indifferent landscape of literature, a flashpoint will occur, someone somewhere will find the rarefied air of inspiration-that doesn't just advocate for the "saved" or the well-to-do; but the down and out, the disenfranchised and the dispossessed. This is one of those rare gems of a book-like a burning bush you have to stop and see!" -Chad Taylor Author of Why Revival Still Tarries www.consumingfire.com
