Becoming Fearless

Coerced by her boss and fellow rivers guides, Brenda Smith reluctantly embarks on a rafting trip through a vast Tanzanian game reserve. If she can survive twelve days on the remote jungle rivers, then she must scale Africa’s tallest mountain.

She comes face to face with angry hippos, roaring lions and stealthy crocodiles, and struggles with the extremes of unbearable heat and hypothermia.

Despite the harsh external threats she conquers, her greatest challenge is a profound inner journey-a courageous transformation as she uncovers the internal source of her fears and discovers the personal strength to do anything.

Becoming Fearless is an inspirational true story that showcases what is possible when you step out of your comfort zone into the wild. Free on Kindle.

Torn between family, a demanding husband, and emotional upheaval, can an aspiring young actress find the courage to embrace her passion and independence in the face of overwhelming obstacles?

In the Shadows of Vietnam: The Gallant Life of Fr. Philip Salois

In the Shadows of Vietnam: The Gallant Life of Fr. Philip Salois

In 1970, an infantryman and his platoon encountered a horseshoe-shaped ambush in the jungles of Vietnam.

Six members of the young soldiers unit were trapped behind enemy lines, facing no chance for survival if rescue were not imminent. Twenty-one-year-old Specialist 4 Philip Salois and a fellow grunt were determined to save their six comrades. Before crawling out into the line of fire, Phil asked God to protect him and see him through this ordeal unharmed in return for a promise to do anything wanted of him afterwards. It is a promise that many men about to do battle make, but few keep.

Four years later, while attending a Catholic seminary in California, this Rhode Island native heard an inner voice reminding him of the promise he had made, and informing him of what God had planned for his life. Fourteen years after the ambush and rescue, that young soldier became Fr. Philip Salois, a Catholic priest about to embark on a new charge. This time, the mission was to rescue veterans who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by the horrors of their deployment in Vietnam.

Over nearly forty years, Fr. Phil brought spiritual healing to countless troubled veterans, from infantrymen to chaplains alike, in his role as the Chief of Chaplains in the Boston VA Healthcare System, and in numerous retreats and conferences that he organized all over the U.S.

This is the awe-inspiring true story of the life of a gentle giant, a man who received the Silver Star for his acts of valor in Vietnam, and a man who has merited the highest distinction for his service, from veterans organizations to religious and civic groups alike. $5.99 on Kindle.

Forgotten Heroes: The untold story of White Missionaries and their black Assistants in the Rhodesian civil war.

Forgotten Heroes: The untold story of White Missionaries and their black Assistants in the Rhodesian civil war.

Narrated through the prism of flashbacks from a young child who defied time to share her tale, this is a narrative where the causes of armed conflict may shift, yet the unchanging recipe and style remain constant. Within, the unsettling reality surfaces that children are sometimes exposed to sights and sounds that childhood should never encompass. Caught in the crossfire, civilians perpetually find themselves in an untenable predicament. Supporting or opposing any of the warring factions inevitably leads to ruin.

Exploiting communism, extremist ideologies, and propaganda, malevolent forces employ tactics that echo through time. The past and present blur as the ease with which young minds can be indoctrinated by hollow assurances is exposed. The aftermath of conflict rarely delivers the promised rewards, instead yielding a harvest of destitution and despair.

Liberators, who once symbolized salvation, often evolve into oppressors far exceeding their predecessors in cruelty. The book’s lens pans across five decades post-war, revealing a stark transformation: a region once heralded as the “breadbasket of Africa” now perennially extends a begging bowl. The same liberators wielded their power brutally, suppressing their own with ruthless intimidation. Tragically, this distressing cycle replicates in numerous nations today, a haunting pattern where countless innocents are ruthlessly slaughtered.

In this chilling account, the reader is beckoned to confront the unsettling parallels between history and the contemporary world, raising urgent questions about humanity’s propensity for repeating its darkest mistakes. $0.99 on Kindle.
