Where There Is No Comfort, Seven Days in Ethiopia ReviewJuliann Troi writes of her work with International Crisis Aid in Ethiopia, helping some of the most desperate people in this world.
She takes the reader through her days there, sharing her experiences and reflections about what she finds, as well as the disturbing disparity between her life in America, and the lives of the human beings she helps. She introduces the man responsible for the project, Pat Bradley, and tells of his story and his remarkable accomplishments there. Running on little more than human love and compassion, he has saved the lives of countless children and helped many more.
Juliann Troi's words are underlined by startling images from her days there, vivid photographs of the people of Ethiopia, current patients, some of the healthy children successfully saved from suffering by the ICA, and the local homes and surroundings.
The sometimes heartrending, sometimes funny human stories she tells brings the reader into a world in which people joyfully smile in spite of suffering that would undo a Westerner.
This unusual and passionate work serves as a reminder to us all of how much we take for granted as privileged residents of the industrialized nations. It is a plea to open our hearts to the suffering of the less fortunate in the world, and a reminder that we do wrong to forget them.
I heartily recommend this book, which provides an amazing window on a seldom-travelled part of our world.
Where There Is No Comfort, Seven Days in Ethiopia OverviewWhen Pat Bradley, president of International Crisis Aid (ICA), asked Juliann Troi to write an article to promote awareness of the life-saving work his nonprofit organization was doing in Ethiopia, Troi realized it couldn't be done from her office; first-hand experience was needed. Knowing that Pat's work focused mostly on life-and-death situations in places where no one could easily go, guaranteed a difficult trip. Gathering her courage, she left her family and comfortable home to embark on a journey that forever changed her and the way she saw the world. Troi spent a week in and around Angacha, a small village south of Ethiopia's capital, bringinghope to a desperate land Where There Is No Comfort. During that time, she helped ICA's team feed the starving, heal the sick, and reach out to young girls recently freed from sex slavery.Troi found that millions of Ethiopians suffer unspeakable hardships, yet exhibit an amazing resilience and strength of character as they struggle to survive. This inspirational snapshot of life in Ethiopia will open your eyes and touch your heart.Juliann Troi lives in Edmond, Oklahoma, where she is president/artisan of Golden Seed Arts and Media, Ltd. Her home-based business allows her to express her creativity through art in all forms, while writing gives wings to her dreams. She hopes that through Where There Is No Comfort, readers will realize that it's never too late to do something unexpected, even extraordinary.Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/WhereThereIsNoComfort.html

Wounded Earth ReviewI received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review. It is hard to find a story with a strong female protagonist who is intelligent, relatable, and likable. Larabeth is all of the above. I was immediately intrigued by her character and her past. Wounded Earth is a wonderful character driven thriller. The tension builds right from the start, there is so much more at stake than you think. From Larabeth's first strange phone call to the very end I was drawn in to Larabeth's life and the deviousness of Babykiller. The plot is well thought out and gets richer as the story develops, made stronger and more interesting as Larabeth's past is slowly revealed to the reader. I truly enjoyed reading this book, it was so much more than I expected.Wounded Earth OverviewLarabeth McLeod has beauty, money, several patents, a Ph.D., a successful environmental firm, and some very old secrets. When a man with the uncomfortable name of Babykiller begins stalking her, terrorizing her with stories of her darkest days in Vietnam, stories no one else knows, she feels compelled to fight back...until he exposes her most tender secret of all by threatening the daughter she has never met.She turns to private detective J.D. Hatten for help, breaking five years of separation and silence between quarreling friends. And then Babykiller shows his true capabilities. He is the head of an illicit business offering but one service--moving cargo worldwide for criminals who need their drugs or cash or smuggled goods shipped safely and anonymously--so he is capable of putting anything anywhere. He quietly explains to Larabeth, a well-known environmental executive, that he can even put defective gauges in nuclear power plants, and he will, just to get her attention. If she goes to the police for protection, people will die. Lots and lots of people will die. And one of them will be her daughter.Larabeth and J.D. are just a normal man and woman, up against a babykiller. But then, Babykiller doesn't know who he's dealing with...WOUNDED EARTH is the first thriller by award-winning mystery writer Mary Anna Evans, author of ARTIFACTS, RELICS, EFFIGIES, FINDINGS, and FLOODGATES, all available on Amazon in print, large-print, and audio editions.

Nearer Than The Sky ReviewNever has a book inspired so many conflicting emotions within me as "Nearer Than The Sky". T. Greenwood, author of "Breathing Water", has penned an incredibly nuanced story of a family beset by an insidious and dangerous mental illness: Munchausen Syndrome by proxy. This relatively unknown illness goes unreported in so many cases, mostly because it's almost impossible to detect (especially in it's subtler forms), and is hard to prove in a court of law. But it's very real...as real as your baby's next breath.
This is the story of Indie Brown, a woman who wishes that her childhood had never happened. But in the way of all life, nothing is ever completely over and done with. Happily settled into adulthood with her loving and steadfast husband, Peter, Indie begins to be drawn ever so slowly backward into her past when she begins to suspect her sister Lily of causing harm to her own newborn baby. Upon this discovery, Indie realizes that their mother is the one responsible for Lily's illness, as Lily is responsible for her own daughter's mysterious sicknesses.
Writing with poetic insight and incredible subtlety, Greenwood wraps the reader up in the darkness of Munchausen Syndrome by proxy, illustrating its far-reaching effects and ultimately destructive force. Greenwood's characters are multi-dimensional and real, reacting to each crisis in wholly human ways, flawed and believable. With each breathtaking revelation, Greenwood captures the moment with startling clarity and brilliant depiction. Add "Nearer Than The Sky" to your reading list immediately, and grab the tissues. You'll need them.Nearer Than The Sky Overview
