Ice Queen. Angel of Death. Innocent victim?Cold, unsympathetic, pilloried by the press, despised by the public, Sandra Morton has always maintained her innocence, but her attempts to overturn her conviction for the brutal murders of her husband and two infant children have been repeatedly knocked back.When Sandra's solicitor asks criminology lecturer Anna Scavolini to review the evidence, Anna is initially reluctant to accept. Soon, however, she becomes consumed by the case's myriad unanswered questions, and by the enigma that is Sandra herself. Did she really do it, or was she merely a convenient scapegoat?But Sandra herself is far from cooperative, and Anna has her own problems to contend with.

When the phone rang at their home one snowy January morning, the Gibson family learned that their lives would never be the same. Their youngest child, a twenty-year-old daughter named Rebekah, had her life cut short at the hands of an enraged killer. What followed for her family could only be described as a living nightmare. And it certainly was for Nancy Jo, Rebekah's mother. But somehow, in the midst of this anguish, Nancy Jo made her way down a path of forgiveness-for the murderer, for those who defended him . . . and ultimately for herself. And in finding forgiveness, she found peace. In this recounting of the years surrounding Rebekah's murder, Nancy Jo-along with insights from her son Joseph-gives an honest view of the heartache, shock, fury, and unthinkable grief following her child's murder. But she also shares the hope and comfort that carried her when she ran into the tender arms of a loving God, who is equal parts justice and mercy. For those who have answered their own life-changing phone call, this book offers you the same healing Nancy Jo describes. And for those who haven't, you'll feel like you have walked beside this family, through both their trauma and their triumph, and you'll never be the same again. . . .

You likely bought this book due to an unspoken pattern of relationships you have in your daily life you're exhausted of repeating, and you want it to end. Perhaps you've attempted to change something to break the cycle. Perhaps you've tried methods of bandaging. Perhaps you've even been for therapy, but the old patterns continue to show daily. It's not working.Have you ever thought about these questions?Why am I repeating the same errors throughout my life?How can I be so surrounded by negative people?Does it feel like I've got a hole in my body that isn't going out?Why will I surrender my power and let others decide my character? Why aren't my feelings important?Why can I keep people, even the good ones, away? Why am I unable to allow them to enter?Why do I insult others verbally and then swear that I will not repeat it?What is the reason it is so hard to love? Am I even loveable?What is it that makes me feel so angry and hurt?Why must I do all this to benefit others but do nothing for me? Why am I able to self-sabotage?What makes me think that I'm a loser and unworthy?We've had to ask ourselves these kinds of questions at some point or other. Many people attempt to answer these questions independently or seek out their friends or family to help them figure out what's wrong. It is common for people to get numerous unhelpful comments from people and then become less clear than they have ever. People are likelier to share what they'd do, just like getting advice from bumper stickers.

Welcome to ABC to Real Estate Investing: Investing in Rental Properties for Beginners. If you've picked up this book, you're likely seeking a new, accessible way to build wealth-a path that can lead to financial freedom and pave the way for generations to come. But where does one start?The path I'm here to guide you on is one less trodden but nonetheless promising: the road to reclaiming wealth through low-priced neighborhoods. Some may scoff at the idea, envisioning dilapidated houses in neglected neighborhoods, but there's an untold opportunity here-one that can serve both you and the community.Think about it: wealth is not merely about accumulation but distribution as well. It's about investing in places that others overlook, and in doing so, uplifting the very fabric of our communities. This concept may seem revolutionary, yet it is one rooted in practicality and social responsibility.My name is Lisa Phillips. As a seasoned investor, I've helped thousands of investors achieve financial independence by guiding them through the world of low-cost real estate investments. The properties we're talking about range from $30,000 to $50,000, located in middle-class neighborhoods across the country. These are not luxury condos or beachfront homes, but they're safe, affordable, and-most importantly-they make a real difference.The homes we'll discuss offer an unprecedented opportunity to build wealth while giving back. They provide a chance to inject capital, life, and prosperity into areas that have been overlooked for too long. And guess what? They're not just beneficial for the community; these investments are also profitable. We're talking about high returns and a steady cash flow-the kind of financial stability you can't always find in the stock market or other volatile investment avenues.This book is not just about investing; it's about making an impact. It's about reclaiming the narrative and understanding that wealth is not just about where we put our money, but how we use it to shape our world. It's about leveraging the opportunity in the overlooked, the underappreciated, the low-priced neighborhoods, and transforming them into vibrant communities while securing a financial future for ourselves.So, if you're ready to dive into a world of investment that is as rewarding socially as it is financially, I invite you to turn the page. Let's embark on this journey to reclaim our wealth and reshape our neighborhoods together.You might have a few questions about the person guiding you through this adventure. Who am I? Why have I chosen this unconventional path to wealth? Let me introduce myself formally: I'm Lisa Phillips, an ordinary woman with an extraordinary passion for helping people like you unearth the opportunities in the often-ignored, low-cost real estate market.Before I found my footing in the realm of real estate, I was not much different from many of you reading this book. I was not born into wealth, and the real estate market seemed like an intimidating venture. But through resilience, research, and a bit of trial and error, I found a niche that not only promised financial returns but also echoed my desire to make a positive societal impact. Over time, I have managed to aid thousands of investors in securing their financial future by investing in properties priced between $30,000 to $50,000 in middle-class neighborhoods all over the nation.
