Once I Was A Princess (Jacqueline Pascarl)

Once I Was A Princess

Jacqueline Pascarl

Blurb: Can you imagine what it would be like to be swept off your feet by a royal prince to live a charmed life in the marble palaces of an oil-rich nation - and then to watch your fairy-tale romance turn into a nightmare of Islamic superstition, isolation, betrayal and abuse? What would you do if you managed to escape your life of torment - and then your children were kidnapped by their own father? This is what happened to Jacqueline Pascarl.

In Once I Was a Princess, Jacqueline recounts her part in this controversial, headline-grabing international drama with heart-rending honesty.

From Pieces To Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens (Curtis James Jackson aka 50 Cent)

From Pieces To Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside

Curtis James Jackson aka 50 Cent

Blurb: 'That's what this book is about - the good times and the bad times. I wrote this book to explain the world I come from. This is why I say the rhymes that I say. This is what happened when I was trying to get rich before I died in Southside Queens.'

From Pieces To Weight is a violent and introspective memoir that reveals not only 50's story but the story of a generation of youth faced with hard choices and very few options. A tale of sacrifice, transformation and redemption, it is also one of hope, determination and the power of self. Told in 50's own unique voice, the narrative drips with the raw insight, street wisdom and his struggle to survive at all costs... and behold the American Dream.
