Heaven's Special MumJust off the main building on the open verandah, there are many more little patients. Its not a sunny veranda and it can be cold. The head of each bed is pushed up against the brick wall in a row down the veranda. Each child is fixed in place in some way. This was how Beryl Wyber spent much of her childhood in a hospital system which was overwhelmed by the polio epidemic of the 1930s: confined to a hospital bed at 17 months with spinal TB and allowed

ÒJust off the main building on the open verandah, there are many more little patients. ItÕs not a sunny veranda and it can be cold. The head of each bed is pushed up against the brick wall in a row down the veranda. Each child is fixed in place in some way.Ó This was how Beryl Wyber spent much of her childhood in a hospital system which was overwhelmed by the polio epidemic of the 1930s: confined to a hospital bed at 17 months with spinal TB and allowed to see her mother for only an hour a week. On her release at 13 after 12 years in hospital she is mystified by things she had never experienced. No one had ever shown her a stove, a carpet, a chest of drawers or an electric fan. BerylÕs story of discovery and her building a life in her teens is told by her daughter, author Lorraine Townsend.
My book ÒHeavens Special MumÓ is a moving tribute to the triumph over adversity ending in tragedy which was my MotherÕs life."

True Detective
Format: Kindle
Life long Marvel fan who has found his way to DC, and has been blown away! Mostly the Absolute books, but when Matt Fraction is writing I’m reading. Street level Bats at his best. The art is 10 outa 10. There is as much heart in here as crime fighting check it out.

New Batman Takes Flight
Format: Hardcover
Very nice design on the book and with the hardcover especially. Love the art and story direction so far. The depiction of Gotham is interesting and has an almost cyberpunk feel to it.
