And the only way to get back to your own world is to get through each portal; and each portal is more treacherous than the last.

Every society promulgates culture to represent its shared values, traditions, and customs which define the way of life of her people. In some practices, cultural norms might be used to repress and intimidate certain members of society. Such was the culture of the Okale kingdom, where women's rights were suppressed and infringed on. Women and girls were seen only as marriage materials. Thus, education for girls was barely nonexistent.Ekiose, a brilliant daughter and fearless thinker of Okale, rose from ashes to challenge the cultural practices she claimed were used to rob women of their fundamental human rights and freedom of expression. In one of her outreach forums, she met a human rights advocate lawyer called Prince Ugo, a native of Abbar kingdom. They soon fell in love and planned to spend their lives together. However, their plan was cut short when Prince Idaghe, a native and crown prince of the Okale people, also desired to marry her. This controversy led to meetings between both families to resolve their differences. The purpose was to avert war which was acceptable as a last resort for resolving such conflict whereby the winner marries the woman. But Prince Ugo refused to back down, citing that he was unfairly treated because he was an outsider. When war became inevitable, the king's counselors, through divination, advised the crown prince to hunt down a lion with his bare hand as a necessity for his victory. They fought, and the battle ended in Prince Idaghe's favor. Prince Ugo, who was at the pinnacle of success in his legal profession, was severely maimed and lost it all for the sake of a woman. He allowed pride to rule his life and to dictate his decision-making process. Pride is a disease of the heart that, if not controlled, could lead someone to an early grave or some severe life consequences. Such was Prince Ugo's case, which objected to every meaningful measure to avert the fight that almost killed him.This book approaches the life storm by using the life experiences of Prince Ugo to illustrate how adversity could devastate anyone if pride and lack of contentment are not dealt with. While everyone desires to live a fruitful, stress-free life, crises might hit at any time. It might come about due to poor choices or circumstances simply beyond the person's control. A beacon of hope is always at the end of the tunnel if the victim doesn't allow his condition to hinder his foresight. When Prince Ugo came to his senses, he swallowed his pride and started over again. Through the power of perseverance and innovative ideas, he rose from rags and ashes to uplift his head above the waters that almost swallowed him alive to revolutionize his kingdom for the benefit of his people.

But when her landlady is poisoned by chocolate a scant three days after she moves in, Rochelle Reid and her new neighbors discover they have become overnight murder suspects. Red herrings abound, romance teases, a heroine learns her past is about to collide with the present, and a daylight break-in at the house hints that-even with a victim neatly out of the way-the murderer is not yet in the clear if a damning piece of evidence hidden within its walls isn't recovered.

"Tell Somebody: Two Years, Four Months, One Week, and A Day - The Memories and Musings of a Battered Wife - A Trilogy, Part I" is the first leg of the journey of young Stephanie Sweeney from friendship to courtship, to a perfect love, and an early marriage to her first love--her one true love, Henry Earl Henderson. When unforeseen, unexpected violence occurred early in her marriage, Stephanie was frightened and confused. Stephanie, however, continued to hold high hopes for the cessation of the emotional abuse and physical violence that had become her life. Tell Somebody recounts the quest for the redemption of love Stephanie and Henry once shared, always with a hopeful desire for a "happily ever after" ending. Tell Somebody is a story that did not want to be told. But this experience had to come out of the shadows.The secrecy, the silence had to end. Tell Somebody is my experience. I diligently tried to ignore the pain my heart recalled--of him, and what he did to me all those years ago. Denial only made it worse. As the heart beats regularly--in season, out of season, on a mundane day, as well as a special day--without prompting, so were the heartless beatings by the man who claimed to love Stephanie, as he often said, ''from the first time I laid eyes on you.'' Each beat of Stephanie''s heart recalls the beatings she suffered alone in fearful silence. Just as she was not forthcoming about the beatings, Stephanie stubbornly resisted that plea from within to Tell Somebody of her past experience. Even as the years passed by, the pain, the memories, and the shame persisted.The story hovered uncomfortably in the untouchable places of her mind and heart.  Tell Somebody deals openly and honestly with domestic violence from the perspective of the victim.Though the abuse silenced Stephanie in her marriage, Stephanie had her inner thoughts to keep her company during those difficult days. Stephanie believed that the love Henry claimed to have for her would eventually stop the beatings; so, she continued to try to love him--until that day. Fast forward, years later, the pain and the shame that was Stephanie''s life with Henry, demands to be heard. Nothing could quieten the anguish of that still, small voice inside the head and heart of Stephanie, haunting her, saying, "Tell Somebody, Tell Somebody, Tell Somebody."  Just as that annoying buzz of a mosquito around your ear at bedtime keeps you awake, so did Tell Somebody. Whenever I heard on the news of a woman being beaten by the man she loved, especially being killed by him, I knew I had to tell my story. But I had to wait to Tell Somebody. I did not want to hurt my parents more than they were already hurt by my ordeal. I did not want to hurt my mother-in-law more than she was already hurt either. I also could not tell this story before I was healed enough to reveal my truth. I am there, finally. My truth is what it is. All the good, all the bad, all the unpleasantness--the hurt, the pain, the naivete. It is all mine. I own it.
