Caught in the grip of drug and alcohol addiction and homelessness, Peter had spiraled deeper and deeper into a desperate and dysfunctional life without limits or direction. After years of a hedonistic lifestyle—and on the run with another man’s wife—Peter had hit rock bottom when he was thrown a lifeline from an unexpected source. Without friends or options, he grabbed for the outstretched hand of Jesus and was knocked to the floor by the power of God. When he arose, Peter’s life had completely changed. But the real adventure was only about to begin. Honest, uplifting, challenging, and inspiring, Boys from Glasgow Don’t Cry is a real-life story of miraculous escapes and divine encounters. It is a story of hope in the face of impossible odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I did not have the best of starts... No one would have said I was dealt a winning hand." Big Boys Don’t Cry records how Willie McCarney played the hand he was dealt. Experiencing the deep trauma of his mother’s death at an early age, he recounts how he also experienced freedom, success and responsibility as a child, learning how to deal with it all to become the master of his own destiny. As a child, Willie found himself embracing education as a way to break free from the poverty of his childhood and to build a better future for himself. Graduating as a teacher in 1961, Willie assumed he had reached the pinnacle of his career. He never dreamt that one day he would be training teachers. He could never have imagined that he would later spend 33 years as a magistrate. And he certainly never contemplated travelling to Melbourne, Australia to be elected President of the International Association of Youth and Family Judges and Magistrates, but Willie achieved all this and more! Big Boys Don’t Cry charts how Willie reached each milestone in his life – documenting how the opportunities arose, as well as detailing the many different things he has been involved in, including travelling the world on behalf of the UN. This book will appeal to readers who enjoy autobiographies, as well as those who have an interest in the success stories of ordinary people.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A haunting, beautiful, and necessary book."—Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don’t have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge. A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow's debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It’s a story you won’t be able to look away from. And don’t miss Kathleen Glasgow's novels You’d Be Home Now and How to Make Friends with the Dark, both raw and powerful stories of life.

Book excerpt: Although nearly 90% of the population of Great Britain remained civilians throughout the war, or for a large part of it, their story has so far largely gone untold. In contrast with the thousands of books on military operations, barely any have concerned themselves with the individual's experience. The problems of the ordinary family are barely ever mentioned - food rationing, clothes rationing, the black-out and air raids get little space, and everyday shortages almost none at all. This book is an attempt to redress the balance; to tell the civilian's story largely through their own recollections and in their own words.
