The Package: A Tale of the Holocaust
Summary
This tragic tale concerns two Jewish women living in Hamburg in Nazi Germany before WW2, Ellen Kaempfer and Betty Holstein, and a non-Jewish woman, Elfriede Mollenhauer, who tried to help them. Ellen and Betty were to be deported by cattle train, which meant standing room only, a journey that would take days. They were to be taken from Hamburg to a work camp in Poland, a journey without food or drink, with only a bucket for a toilet.
Before they left, Ellen gave Elfriede, who was an active member of the German underground, a package for safekeeping, an undertaking that, if discovered, could lead to a long term of imprisonment in a German work camp or even death. After their deportation in October 1941, Ellen and Betty found themselves working in the notorious labor camp Litzmannstadt in Poland, having no idea what cruel and horrible fate awaited them.

The Journey: A Tale of the Holocaust
Summary
A dystopian tale of the Holocaust. This not a tale of war or of suffering; it is, however, a tale of survival, a child’s bravery, and a mother’s revenge. In January 1942, concentration camps were constructed by slave labor in Poland. For the deportation of Jewish men women and children to these camps, railway transport was provided by the German national railway system under the supervision of the Gestapo, the SS, and the German police. One of these children, Rachel Silbermann, a 10-year-old Jewish girl, was deported along with her family from Berlin to Auschwitz-Berkinau. By a miracle, she and her family survived the four-day journey in a cattle truck. These trucks were without heat, and, in most cases, only a bucket was provided for sanitation purposes. When Rachel arrived at Auschwitz death-camp, she came, like many other children especially twins, under the auspices of Doctor Mengele, known as "Doctor Death". But a strange twist of fate found her caring for a group of young twins. Her mother, however, unlike the rest of her family who perished, escaped and joined the Polish resistance where she learned a new trade and learned it well; she became a sniper, a very successful one.

Dummies Guide to the Law of Attraction
Summary
For those who belong to that ever-expanding circle of friends, this next sentence will explain why I wrote this book: "I am a raving fan of Abraham-Hicks". On October 10, 2015, I decided to go to the Abraham-Hicks website and purchase the Getting Into the Vortex meditation guide. I started to meditate. My life just started to metamorphose. It's like coming from a dark cave into the sunlight. "Coming from the cave and stepping into the sunlight", that's how I would describe my awakening. This audiobook is a sharing of the stuff that I have learned. This audiobook is a sharing of the principles I have learned to apply. This audiobook is a sharing of the "No-Nos" I have learned to watch out for in order to live a satisfying life. Frankly, this audiobook is really a guide for me so I will not forget the stuff that I have learned since 15 October 2015. But since we are all in this together, I reckon I can share the stuff with you too. "Who are you"? and "What are you here for"? are two fundamental questions that you need to answer for yourself once and for all. Once that is clear, other pieces of the puzzle will fall in place. You're not here to live up to the expectation of a perfect god. You're not here to fulfill his checklist in order to be worthy. You are already worthy from the start. Otherwise, you won't be here. There is no checklist to fulfill. There is not a world that needs fixing. Success is not measured by money but my joy which naturally and effortlessly attracts all the prosperity that I want. The Universe is not a genie that grants you three wishes. the Universe is a genie that grants you an infinite amount of wishes. So what are you waiting for? Come on and dive right in.

But something goes terribly wrong and a man is killed. And things only get worse from there as the perpetrators try to eliminate loose ends. The dirty trick is successful. Drake's support begins to crumble. As Crystal investigates the fake news being released, she becomes a target.

Midwest Book Review's senior reviewer Diane Donovan said in part, "Powerful in its characterization, plot, and narrative interactions, Political Dirty Trick is the item of choice for thriller readers who like their stories steeped in realistic scenarios and possibilities." "Reads like a fast-paced James Patterson cliffhanger." (Award-winning author William Doonan on Amazon)
