1 y separately published work icon Georgina : My Mother's Story Oliver R. Shead , Gabrirella Kovac , Scoresby : Lightning Source Inc. , 2013 11485576 2013 single work biography

'An incredible true story of survival, audacity, and deception from the darkest days of the Holocaust. December 1944, while heavy snows fall over Budapest and soldiers battle for the streets, Georgina, a young Jewish woman, is nearly starving to death with her new born son. The battle outside is one of the most savage in the entire war. She knows that to go into the streets is virtually a death sentence or rape, but she must find food within the next few hours, or her baby will certainly die. For Georgina there is no choice. Alone, and completely vulnerable, she heads out into the freezing cold. Georgina My Mother's Story is an incredible true story of one woman's bravery and daring in Hungary during the Holocaust and through the brutal communist regime beyond. It's the story of a carefree young woman thrust into the worst tragedy in human history- and emerging triumphant.' (Publication Summary)

1 y separately published work icon Sailing to Jessica Kelly Watts , Tennessee : Lightning Source Inc. , 2012 Z1935800 2012 single work autobiography 'At 35-years old, Kelly and Paul Watts sold their home and quit their jobs to sail around the world, without any sailing experience. Two days after purchasing their forty-two-foot sloop, they got caught in a forty-knot gale off the coast of Cape Fear, NC. Their sails ripped; the engine overheated; the GPS broke; they suffered hypothermia and severe seasickness. And yet they persevered on their journey, discovering the playful sea lions of the Galapagos, the seductive dance of the Polynesian girls, and the primitive beat of Tuvaluan music, all while learning how to sail and repair their boat. They narrowly avoided a shark attack in Suwarrow, fled from suspected pirates off the coast of Ecuador, and hit a submerged container - the fear of all sailors - near Midway Island.

What started as a search to find meaning to "life without children," only strengthened their desire to have a family. After fertility attempts failed in America and New Zealand, they unexpectedly adopted a two-month old baby in Kiribati. And so began the adventure of raising a baby on a boat in the middle of the Pacific, battling Dengue Fever and an epidemic of e-coli., almost losing their lives in a 60-knot westerly gale and navigating through the maze of international adoption paperwork.

Told from Kelly's conversational point of view, Sailing to Jessica will inspire anyone who is searching for meaning in their life to get up and find it.' (Publisher's blurb)
