My memoir depicts my life living in my home town of Middlesbrough. It then had the highest rates of unemployment in the UK. I witnessed the decline of its Iron and Steel, Chemical and Shipbuilding industries leaving tens of thousands of local people out of work. While living as a long time unemployed, unmarried, single mother with my two beautiful girls, both with different fathers, I found myself at the lowest echelon of society. I endured years of ostracisation, poverty and social exclusion.

A Global Adventure of Courage and Compassion
Revisado: 11-22-24
I found Linda Granville's book to be one of the most moving books I have read/listened to in many years. Like a pilgrim or saint, Linda leaves an England that is struggling economically as factories closed and industries realigned leaving desperate people and families in their wake. Linda heads off by herself on a journey of discovery that takes her from England to Australia to the Middle East. The huge value of this memoir is that it chronicles another side of our world's reality - the lives of those left behind and marginalized by our fast paced, money driven modern world. Linda's mission is one of shining a light on some of these people and letting everyone know that there are solutions that benefit everyone. It is the extraordinary goodness in the hearts and Spirit of those she meets that will give you hope for our future. Few of the problems and injustices that Linda discovers have been solved but Linda points to a positive path of lifting these people up and empowering them to build the solutions for themselves. This book is a prayer that you will do whatever you can to lend a hand. Linda has had a very tough life by most people's standards, but you will never hear her complain. There is so much to care about in this book, and it is very clear that all Linda wants is for you to fire up the love and compassion in your heart and do something, anything to make a difference and help us to be a better world family recognizing that the pains and injustices of the world affect us all. Linda's book is a plea for us to become the change we would like to see in the world.

What if life wasn’t just something that happened to you, but something you had the power to influence? Adventure of a Lifetime isn’t about wishful thinking or vague spiritual ideas—it’s a practical, thought-provoking guide to recognizing the role you play in shaping your experiences. We often think of challenges as obstacles, but what if they were actually opportunities—chances to create solutions, grow, and build a more fulfilling life? Mistakes aren’t failures; they’re stepping stones. And the way we respond to life’s ups and downs has a direct impact on what comes next.

A Magical Tale for Re-Shaping One's Reality
Revisado: 06-05-24
This book has been an enlightening Journey for me. I felt like I was a combination of Dorothy on the Yellow Brick Rd to OZ and Alice going down the rabbit hole to a world of new landscapes where everyone was improvising a unique role in an evolving adventure. This is a world ruled by wonder, love and unlimited possibilities. You begin to see the appearance of everyone you meet as simply a costume temporarily being worn by another character very much like you. The only difference is the role we each construct for themselves from the unique circumstances that they were provided with entering a particular life adventure.
It seems we have each played this game many times before, trying out all kinds of parts and it seems that in each lifetime we have a string of ancestors cheering us on and offering us assistance if we are willing to listen. We also discover that there are many more levels of "reality" than available to our human senses. This "guidebook" suggests that our mission is to follow our heart's desires to find the right actions and objectives to contribute to a positively evolving tale of Creation. We have no obligations but the reward for playing the game well is a lifetime full of joy and love.
