This book brings together the letters which the author's grandmother wrote to her during the twenty years from 1962 to 1982. They are reproduced as written, with all their imperfections. The author has added a commentary that provides a background to the letters and an account of her own life at the time. It is a gentle, nostalgic, admittedly self-indulgent journey through the years. Many grandmothers have special relationships with their grandchildren and some of them, like the author, also had a special relationship with their grandmother. This book is for them.

In his very own words The Recollections of Ralph Timothy, Grandad, to me. The story begins in May 1940. When he joined the Royal Artillery. His family life & tales of his life, in the lead up to war. His experiences, his capture by the Japanese & held as a prisoner of war in various Hell Holes in Java for 3 Years. Leaving behind his Wife & 2 son’s. Enclosed are his hand written post-cards sent home in his very long capture, so brief but so reassuring. His tales of death, disease, torture, survival comradeship and strength. His courage against all odds! His sheer determination to survive. The horrors he endured, what he achieved. The hunger, loss of comrades & fellow friend’s. His faith & the love for his family. His freedom. What is even more amazing, is he lived to be 94 years old. He was married to my Nan Madge for 61 years when she passed away in January 1997, his two sons. John my Dad & Ralph Jnr who are both now sadly deceased. Ralph Jnr passed away in January 2010 & Dad in November 2011.

When a big-city agent wants to rent the abandoned chapel on the Bowens’ property for an obscene amount of money, it seems like a deal of a lifetime . . . there’s just one small catch. Nathaniel Black. Disgraced, broken-down, whisky-swilling rock god Nathaniel Black is set to make a comeback, or at least that’s what his long-suffering agent is hoping. Nathaniel’s last chance for salvation is to lock himself away from the temptations of his wicked life. With no women, no booze, and no drugs. Only the music. The one thing he didn’t count on was forming a complex, life-changing bond with a reclusive, talented songbird, Sadie Bowen. Twenty three-year-old Sadie has all of Nathaniel’s cassette tapes under her bed and his tattered poster lining the inside of her wardrobe door. And now he’s here, in her backyard, eating her food and sharing her bathroom—a dream come true, right? Until Sadie realises her teenage idol is the most infuriating, arrogant man-child she has ever met. Will seclusion lead to destruction? Or will Sadie finally get a chance to learn who the real man is behind the music? One thing is clear: despite every voice inside her head telling her to stay away, she can’t. She can’t help it, can’t fight it. Nathaniel Black is about to become her favourite mistake.

This book provides a clinical tool for recognizing, and understanding, human adaptive responses to stress and the anxiety it causes. For use in the here-and-now, the recognition algorithm systematically delineates the observable hierarchy of psychological adaptive mechanisms, known in psychoanalytic theory as ego defenses, established in previous longitudinal research. Based in a theoretical model, it teaches practical, systematic recognition of these mechanisms which are not only helpful to know when seeing a patient but also when observing human behavior in everyday life.
