Love Story: Eboni & Bryson
Mz. Robinson - 2019
However, depending upon the source, it can also be one of the deadliest. A tainted-venom that once you ingest it, it courses through your veins, suffocating your blood cells until you slowly wither away....” Eboni is young-beautiful and wants one thing more than life itself: to get out of Baltimore and live the life she’s only experienced in her dreams. When she closes her eyes, visions of mansions, designer labels and dollar signs dance in her head. When she opens them all she sees is struggle, broken dreams, and regret. Determined to break the cycle of struggle she’s convinced her mother passed down to her, she formulates a plan that will give her the desires of her heart and a meal-ticket out of the hood. Bryson was 9 years old when he learned the heartbreaking lessons that the journey through life can be brutally-cold and that “family” will shed your blood sometimes faster than a stranger. It was these lessons that made him stronger and helped cultivate him into a charming-streetwise gentleman who believes in hard work and protecting the ones he loves. When a celebration navigates Eboni and Bryson into each other’s paths, the attraction is instant- the lust is undeniable. They find themselves on the fast track to what could possibly be forever. The image of spending the rest of her life with Bryson and being spoiled relentlessly is one that Eboni has proudly painted in her head. However, when the spoils don’t come as quickly as she desires and a successful Boss enters the picture, Eboni finds herself rethinking everything she thought she wanted with Bryson. When the opportunity of a lifetime comes along, Eboni leaves all her “baggage” behind. New beginnings lead to new love and a life that outshines her dreams. Six years later, when a tragedy occurs, she’ll be forced to return to Baltimore and the ghost she left behind. Will her past come back to haunt her? Will the flame she thought was no longer burning, reignite for the man she abandoned? After 6 years, Bryson is a successful-single father, whose main focus is ensuring his daughter lives a happy-stable life filled with love. Unable to shake his feelings for his first love, he keeps the women he meets at a safe and appropriate distance from his heart. When business leads him back to the city where he experienced his greatest tragedies and multiple heartbreaks, he’ll be forced to confront the skeletons of his past and find himself face to face with the one that walked away. Love Story is a multiple books series with each Volume introducing you to new and unforgettable lovers and friends. Join Eboni and Bryson as they navigate through the painful waters of love and life in Volume 1 of this Urban Romance series brought to you by Cole Hart Signature Novels.

The Nazi Officers Wife: Summary and Analysis of the Nazi Officers Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust
Summary Station - 2014
Regularly priced at $9.99. Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device Beer starts her story by remembering a fellow nurse who illegally bought an onion to feed to a dying Russian soldier. Beer explains that she, a nurse's aide, could have caused trouble for her fellow nurse because the Nazi regime frowned upon forming friendships with prisoners, with people who were not Nordic Aryans, and because the onion was a rare commodity by 1943 and it was illegal to buy via a black market. Beer explains that many of the other nurses would have caused trouble for the one with the onion because they bought into the propaganda, truly believing that they were better than the foreign prisoners they served. Instead of bartering for food to give to the injured prisoners, they were more likely to steal food from the prisoners, to bring that food home so the nurses could feed their own hungry families. Most of the prisoners in Brandenburg were not actually injured in war but injured in their servitude; having been conquered, they were forced to work in factories full of industrial accidents. Beer explains that she was transferred from this ward of injured prisoners to work in the maternity ward because someone tattled on her, saying she was too friendly with the foreigners. Informers to the Gestapo were everywhere; the nurse with the onion could have easily been seen by an informant and punished. Before the war, Beer was a law student in Austria, but as the war grew and Germany spread, her name was put on a wanted list. To avoid persecution, she became a "U-boat," a Jewish person living with a secret identity in the heart of Germany.
