Abandoned by his mother when only weeks old, his father left him in the care of a cruel, alcoholic stepmother while he himself was in jail.

This book has everything you need to know to plan your perfect unique wedding. This is not your typical wedding planning book. Chapter titles alone will tell you what needs to be done, and the subtitles break it down further. The book includes tips, advice, stories, templates, and notebook to keep track of everything.
All the other books, magazine articles, Instagram and Pinterest timeline posts state on the “day of” to have a good breakfast. They don’t mention the people that take care of all the duties and tasks throughout the day so you can be VIP guests at your own wedding.
The five easy steps and how they relate to each other is the foundation of this book, which will make sure you have an educational, memorable, stressless, wonderful experience throughout the whole process:
1) Timeline 2) Budget 3) “Day of” schedule 4) Duties and tasks 5) Lists and assignments
The secret is having a planned schedule that catches everything, and a specific person in charge on the “day of” that pulls it off while you enjoy with the guests. Let me show you how to perfect your wedding planning experience. Waiting to your wedding day is just too late to realize the importance of this thought process and having a specific/special go-to-person working the “day of” on your behalf. You will enjoy the days up to the wedding as much as the day itself, as this book helps make it all come true.

The Atrocities of Hope by Michael Olukayode

Nigeria is dealing with a level of disorderliness that is neither compatible with functionality nor with long life.

But just like a disorder left untreated, our problem has incapacitated us, and the rate of deterioration is currently becoming alarming. The long-term survival of our country is no longer as assured as it used to be. We are on a slippery slope with nothing to hold on to. This book attempts to answer the ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘who’, and ‘what is next’ of our problems. As is always the case when truths are discussed, be ready to be offended. But if you are open-minded enough to be offended and not switch off and open-minded enough to be offended and keep reading – you might learn one or two things at the end of this book,

Saga of the Old Ones by Neil Henderson follows a man who, while strolling the Victoria harbour, encounters a mysterious young girl—a strange “Old One”—and a chance reunion that stirs deep, hidden truths. As he calls out, “Kittens,” the girl turns, sparking a connection that could change everything.
It was the first of the month, so he put on his coat and headed to the harbour by the big hotel in Victoria. This was the meeting place for when they would return. They would be a little too young to be able to get away from their new parents, but the chance was there, so he took a stroll by the water. He spotted a girl about five years old with her back to him. She was an Old One. Her new parents must be nearby. He caught his breath and walked up to her. “Kittens,” he said quietly. She spun around with wide eyes. “Daddy! How?”

Ready to be swept into a love story that transcends time?
Smelling Daisies by Elysia and Mark Stevens follows Daisy, a modern soldier, as she’s transported to medieval Scotland, where love, danger, and survival tests await. Can she conquer the lioness within?
Whenever things seem to fall apart around Daisy, romance novels are her way of escaping. When immersed in a novel, she can imagine herself in the story as the lead female character. Still, the difference between her and the typical female character in her novels is that she is not your average damsel in distress.
Daisy was raised by a military father who ensured his daughter knew survival skills and how to protect herself. Following in her beloved father’s footsteps, Daisy joined the army and met Justin. Eventually, Daisy’s dreams would come true. While on a decompression stop after a deployment overseas, she finds herself at the Lachlan Castle in Scotland. There, she is thrown back in time to the era she loves to read about, but things are nothing like she imagined.
When Daisy befriends a bonnie Scottish lass, she finds herself in a haven under the roof of the girl’s brother, a laird named Alick. It becomes clear that the laird is constantly challenged by the many nuances of Daisy’s status as a modern-day female soldier as she attempts to navigate the dangerous life in medieval Scotland. While trying her best to fit in, Daisy stumbles upon a psychotic baron named Thomas, who loves to torture women and is fascinated with her.
Both Laird Alick and Baron Thomas want to tame the lioness in Daisy but for different reasons. But Daisy is ill-prepared for medieval love or warfare and must train her heart and head to face what’s coming next.

Child Protection: Behind Closed Doors by Jo Cooling exposes the hidden struggles within child protection, from bullying to systemic failures. A powerful, eye-opening read that reveals the truth behind the scenes.
My journey started with a tragedy, which led me to study youth suicide and the impact this has on young people and their families. I was shocked to discover how many young people fell through the cracks of our broken mental health system. Furthermore, young people were also falling through the cracks of many systems, including Child Protection.
If you think you know what Child Protection is all about, think again. This is a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when the public is not watching or listening.
This novel will highlight the difficulties and sometimes dangers workers face. Furthermore, it will shine a spotlight on the bullying that has been prominent within Child Protection for a long time and on Management, which has chosen to ignore it.
My story will also call attention to drug use within Child Protection. As well as Management’s lack of support for workers and why the same people who helped me advance my career were the same people who tried to take me down.
This book also looks at the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre cases I have worked on during my career as a Senior Child Protection Worker.
If you have been a client or are interested in a career in Child Protection, or just want a book you cannot put down, then this novel is for you.
