Nancy D. Sheppard - 2010
    Their idyllic first term was followed by the Liberian Civil War and a nightmarish year working among Liberian refugees in the Ivory Coast. Conditions were difficult, expectations overwhelming and the tensions of the war at their doorstep. Fear, self-pity, resentment and depression haunted her.

The book chronicles Nancy's journey to true peace in the midst of very difficult circumstances. As God teaches her about genuine service, submission, sincere prayer, reverence and humility, she is totally and completely transformed. The scenarios are unique to Nancy, but every seeking Christian can fully identify with the spiritual lessons. A unique reading experience, this interactive eBook contains many full color pictures as well as links to pertinent YouTube videos.

I'll take you inside each location and share my experiences with you. Maybe I enjoyed them, and maybe I didn't... I'll give you an honest opinion, alongside exact information about opening times and prices. If you're new to London then I'll explain how to ride the buses, taxis and trains, and if you enjoy walking then I've created some self-guided walks (bonus chapter in ebook only), plus two weeks-worth of example itineraries. I've also included some Top 10 lists, a chapter full of popular day trips, and a review of every hotel I've ever stayed at, from the Premier Inn to The Ritz. It's a good little travel companion to keep in your pocket."London - A Visitor's Guide from http://www.londondrum.

Moving back into that claustrophobic house full of unwanted memories - with his manipulative, controlling mother, and too many reminders of his toxic father - wasn't supposed to be for long, but as the past catches up with him, he heads towards a breakdown and finds himself trapped once again.
