The Choice

A true story of hope

Hannah Pick-Goslar

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
 
'Heartbreaking and life-affirming' - Edith Eger, bestselling author of The Choice 
 
'An extraordinary story of love, loss and the power of friendship in the darkest time.' - Jack Fairweather, Costa prizewinning author of The Volunteer 
 
'As a girl I witnessed the world I loved crumble and vanish, destroyed by senseless hatred, and with it, my best friend Anne.' 
 
When five-year-old Hannah Pick-Goslar and her family fled Nazi Germany to live in Amsterdam, she soon struck up a friendship with a precocious, outspoken and fun-loving girl named Anne Frank. For several blissful years, the girls were inseparable, navigating school, boys and coming of age. 
 
Then, one day in 1942, the two best friends' lives were about to change forever. As the Nazi occupation intensified, Anne and the Frank family vanished. As Hannah puzzled over the fate of her friend, hoping she was safe, her own family's fate began to unfold: they were captured and taken to Westerbork transit camp, before being transported to Bergen-Belsen. 
 
Amid horrific conditions and surrounded by death, Hannah heard astonishing news about her dear friend and risked her life to help her. 
 
In an incredible memoir of hope, strength and defiance, Hannah's story of survival against all odds is testament to the enduring power of friendship, love and remembering.

My Friend Anne Frank

The Inspiring and Heartbreaking True Story of Best Friends Torn Apart and Reunited Against All Odds

Viktor E Frankl

OVER 16 MILLION COPIES SOLD 
 
One of the seminal pieces of literature to emerge from World War 2, this is the moving true story of psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl's time as a prisoner in Auschwitz and what we can learn from his experience. 
 
'A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive' John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas 
 
In 1942, just months after marrying his wife, Viktor Frankl and his family were sent, first to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, and then to Auschwitz. 
 
A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Frankle was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in in the notorious concentration camp. 
 
He noticed that it was those who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. 
 
He noticed that the sort of person a prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone - only those who allowed their hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence, while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. 
 
Through his experiences, Frankl came to believe that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding and inspiring work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living. 
 
Praise for Man’s Search for Meaning: 
 
‘Remarkable...It changed my life and became a part of all that I live and all that I teach.’ Susan Jeffers, bestselling author of Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway 
 
‘An enduring work of survival literature.’ New York Times 
 
‘Every human being should read it.’ Simon Sinek, bestselling author of Start With Why 
 
‘One of the moral heroes of the 20th century…His works are essential reading for those who seek to understand the human condition.’ Chief Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks 
 
‘If you read but one book this year, Dr Frankl's book should be that one.’ Los Angeles Times

Man's Search For Meaning

The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust (With New Material)

Glennyce S. Eckersley

Though angels have been part of our culture and our history for centuries, they have been forgotten in recent times, diminished to the level of christmas trinkets and the playthings of children. Until recently few would admit encountering angelic beings. Yet this extraordinary book shows angels are returning - and being acknowledged - once again. Here are true stories of countless ordinary people being rescued by angels, being comforted and healed by them, feeling their presence in the face of death and often appearing to little children. These tales are drawn from such countries as Britain, Australia, Ireland and the United States showing angels can be found all around the globe, helping people and often changing their lives completely. 
 
Full of warm and uplifting stories, An Angel At My Shoulder suggests it is more than time to reconsider our view of angels, to let them back into our hectic mechanized world and to realise we are never alone. . .

The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust

Anthony Ray Hinton

**WINNER OF THE 2019 MOORE PRIZE ** 
 
**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** 
 
‘A riveting account of the multiple outrages of the criminal justice system of Alabama. A harrowing masterpiece’ Guardian 
 
‘Hinton somehow navigates through his rage and despair to a state of forgiveness and grace’ Independent 
 
At age 29, Anthony Ray Hinton was wrongfully charged with robbery and murder, and sentenced to death by electrocution for crimes he didn’t commit. The only thing he had in common with the perpetrator was the colour of his skin. 
 
Anthony spent the next 28 years of his life on death row, watching fellow inmates march to their deaths, knowing he would follow soon. 
 
Hinton’s incredible story reveals the injustices and inherent racism of the American legal system, but it is also testament to the hope and humanity in us all. 
 
‘You will be swept away in this unbelievable, dramatic true story’ Oprah Winfrey

How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row

David Charles Manners

This is the remarkable true story of a young man's initiation in the Himalayas. David Manners was trekking in Nepal when he stumbled upon the mountain home of a jhankri, or Nepalese shaman. The jhankri accepted David as his pupil, and so began the next stage of David's extraordinary journey, in which he embarked upon an adventure that was more challenging and, ultimately, life-affirming than anything he could have imagined. 
 
In Limitless Sky, David shares the wisdom and insights he learnt from those transformational days in the Himalayas. These include practical guidance on how to live a full and fearless life, how to find happiness and how to live in ways that nurture both ourselves and others. As David reveals, the life lessons he learned amongst the mountains of the Himalayas could benefit us all today.
