She tried not to look down, putting her faith in the good Lord.

Kingdom of Wolves
Kingdom of Wolves clears the path to understanding the unconscious drives that motivate if not govern the behaviours of predators, abusers, bullies, their victims and the underlying issues that draw them to each other. The author demystifies the complexities of human behaviour, merging old concepts with new as she guides you through the emotional and psychological landscapes of the abuser’s and victim’s psyche. She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life. Juliana, once a victim of domestic abuse herself, believes that freedom, reclamation, redemption and wholeness of spirit can only be achieved by taking a journey inward. She hopes through this book to provide a way forward for victims who are trapped by their past experiences or present-day abusive circumstances and concludes that the key to recognition, understanding and prevention of violence and abuse can only be gained through acquiring a deeper awareness of human behaviour.

Kingscourt
Kingscourt had been their home since the 16th century, a rambling country estate with immaculate gardens and rolling Devonshire hills. But one weekend leads to a misunderstanding which changes everyone’s lives.
Julian was a golden boy used to having his own way and whatever he wanted. He was in the throes of a passionate love affair, and that the lady was married did not trouble him at all, until his father’s discovery forced him to make a choice.
Billy was his carefree younger brother used to taking the blame for all his bad behaviour. Joining the Army had been his one ambition and leaving home matured him, but an untimely death and a decade of drifting ended with the Great War.
Simon was a career soldier who suddenly found the Army did not want a man with a broken knee. An unlikely friendship led him to a life he could never have imagined.
Grace loved her home and wanted everything to stay the same, but she knew marriage would mean leaving it forever. An unexpected death and a new arrival turned her life upside down, and the home she loved so much tested her in ways she could never have imagined.
War tested them all as casualty lists lengthened and staff shortages changed their leisured way of life. And one member of the family threatened to bring shame on them all with one wild escapade after another.

La Vida Loca
“I once read that life was a book. It is a true statement. The next part was that if you don’t travel, you stay on the first page, so while you’re young you should embrace life and travel the world. That part is the bit I have a problem with. Just because you don’t travel doesn’t mean you’re living any less of a life. You’re just rewriting your story, which is what you do when you travel too. No one’s stories have set endings. That’s the wonderful thing about life. We are the ones to write the story we live in.”

The group of guys and girls they end up with are all wonderful, and it is a holiday filled with excitement, romance and many fun times and trips which are sure to change their life for the better.
From secret trips to city breaks, the ten teens were set on finding themselves, but instead manage to find friendships that are bound to last forever.
What can Izzy say – they really are living La Vida Loca.
