Flowers from Ashes

In the unforgiving shadow of Victorian England, a young girl's spirit is the only light that remains. New Years Eve 1899. While London celebrates the turn of the century, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzie" Banfield unknowingly spends her last night with her family as a whole. On the first dawn of 1900, Lizzie's world has shattered: her mother is dead, and the siblings she promised to protect are at the mercy of their estranged, wealthy, Great Aunt Martha. Deemed ruined by her mother's poverty and desperation, Lizzie is torn away from her brother and sister. She is exiled to Milbourne Manor, a grim reformatory in the windswept north, designed to break the spirits of "wayward" girls. Under the iron rule of the cruel Matilda Smith, Lizzie is stripped of her name and dignity, forced to scrub floors until her hands bleed, and is told she is destined for the same gutter as her mother. But amidst the cruelty of the Manor, Lizzie discovers she is not alone. She finds an unexpected ally in Clara, the matron's compassionate younger sister, and forms a deep protective bond with Nellie, a fellow outcast whose silence hides a devastating secret. from dark cellars of punishment to the heartbreak of tragic loss, Lizzie must cling to a single, dangerous hope that one day she will escape, defy the fate written for her, and find her way back to the family she loves. Flowers from Ashes is a heart-wrenching yet triumphant tale of sisterhood, resilience, and the enduring power of love to bloom in the darkest places.

Lessons from the Front:

A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel

Robert Sherman was a 25-year-old kid who thought he knew everything about the world. One day, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the young journalist who had spent his time covering local politics found himself smack dab in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis -- fleeing air raids and getting accused by local authorities of being a Russian spy. A year later, he found himself in the Middle East running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. There's no textbook that teaches you that. In the end Robert's whole view of the world changed and he quickly realized its the simple things in life that matter most: family, home, community, and time. I'm attaching an excerpt of the book here too

Thoughts on my Thoughts VI: The TALES That Wagged This Veterinarian

 

Thoughts on my Thoughts VI:

The TALES That Wagged This Veterinarian

Author: Dr. Walter R. Hoge

A Philosophical Adventure Through the Heart of Modern Faith, Doubt, and Self-Discovery

What happens when a single idea refuses to stay small?

In Thoughts on My Thoughts VI, Dr. Walter R. Hoge once again invites readers into his introspective world—a place where questions are not meant to be answered quickly, but wrestled with, revisited, and refracted through experience. This sixth installment in his reflective series is a masterclass in mental excavation, where the simplest observations spiral into profound meditations on politics, morality, God, the nature of belief, and the paradoxes of our modern world.

Through a sharp and unflinching lens, Dr. Hoge contemplates everything from media bias and scientific hypocrisy to divine silence and personal authenticity. His writing—unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely intelligent—is not for the passive reader. It’s for the curious, the restless, the seekers who crave dialogue with someone unafraid to challenge cultural dogmas or question sacred institutions.

Provocative, fearless, and fiercely introspective—Thoughts on My Thoughts VI challenges you to rethink everything. – MainSpring Books

But underneath the philosophical rigor and social critique, there’s an unmistakable heartbeat: the voice of a man who still dares to hope. A man who, despite life’s noise and injustice, still believes in asking: What is truly good? What is truly true?

This is not just a book of essays. It’s a confrontation. It’s a mirror. It’s a friend whispering, “You’re not alone in wondering.”
