Description

Emerging from the long shadow cast by his formidable father, Harold Godwineson showed himself to be a worthy successor to the Earldom of Wessex. In the following twelve years, he became the King's most trusted advisor, practically taking the reins of government into his own hands. And on Edward the Confessor's death, Harold Godwineson mounted the throne—the first king of England not of royal blood. Yet Harold was only a man, and his rise in fortune was not blameless. Like any person aspiring to power, he made choices he wasn't particularly proud of. Unfortunately, those closest to him sometimes paid the price of his fame. This is a story of Godwine's family as told from the viewpoint of Harold and his younger brothers. Queen Editha, known for her Vita Ædwardi Regis, originally commissioned a work to memorialize the deeds of her family, but after the Conquest historians tell us she abandoned this project and concentrated on her husband, the less dangerous subject. In THE SONS OF GODWINE and FATAL RIVALRY, I am telling the story as it might have survived had she collected and passed on the memoirs of her tragic brothers. This book is part two of The Last Great Saxon Earls series. Book one, GODWINE KINGMAKER, depicted the rise and fall of the first Earl of Wessex who came to power under Canute and rose to preeminence at the beginning of Edward the Confessor's reign. Unfortunately, Godwine's misguided efforts to champion his eldest son Swegn recoiled on the whole family, contributing to their outlawry and Queen Editha's disgrace. Their exile only lasted one year and they returned victorious to London, though it was obvious that Harold's career was just beginning as his father's journey was coming to an end. Harold's siblings were all overshadowed by their famous brother; in their memoirs we see remarks tinged sometimes with admiration, sometimes with skepticism, and in Tostig's case, with jealousy. We see a Harold who is ambitious, self-assured, sometimes egocentric, imperfect, yet heroic. His own story is all about Harold, but his brothers see things a little differently. Throughout, their observations are purely subjective, and witnessing events through their eyes gives us an insider’s perspective. Harold was his mother's favorite, confident enough to rise above petty sibling rivalry but Tostig, next in line, was not so lucky. Harold would have been surprised by Tostig's vindictiveness, if he had ever given his brother a second thought. And that was the problem. Tostig's love/hate relationship with Harold would eventually destroy everything they worked for, leaving the country open to foreign conquest. This subplot comes to a crisis in book three of the series, FATAL RIVALRY.

Facebook is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. And as Facebook has changed the way your teens manage their social connections, interactions and image it has also fundamentally changed the parenting landscape. This train has left the station, and you must be on board. Changing social habits is not often easy, and many in our generation of “digital immigrants” find it challenging to embrace this new wave of social networking and internet-based communication. Your children are “digital natives,” seemingly born understanding this digital world. If they are so natural at it you may wonder why you need to be involved. The answer is simple: your children need your guidance. Just as you taught your child about manners, friendship, and values, you need to guide your teen about how to behave in the digital world. Your teen has a “digital footprint,” as do you. This is something you’ll want to manage and not leave to chance. If you don’t, they may be learning the rules of the road from the road warriors themselves. Some parents are intimidated and feel the learning curve is too high. Welcome to The Parents Guide to Facebook! Spend time as Kathryn Rose walks you through Facebook in a way that makes it easy and welcoming. You will wonder why you waited as you find a new world opening up to you through this helpful and thorough guide. The best way to truly understand Facebook is to use it yourself. Create your own profile, experiment with changing your status update, find your friends and relatives, and share photos within your network of friends. You are guaranteed to find some surprise connections and you’ll begin to see the value of social networking and why it is important to your teenager. For me, it was when I saw photos of my niece’s newborn son within hours of his birth that I truly appreciated power of this platform. The more you understand this tool the better guidance and support you are able to offer your teen. Facebook is here to stay, and with The Parent’s Guide to Facebook you’ll find it easy to understand and embrace. Enjoy! Sue Blaney Sue Blaney is the author of Please Stop the Rollercoaster!
