Description

<p><strong><em>A tragic warrior lost in two worlds... Which one will he choose?</em></strong></p><p>The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.</p><p>The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.</p><p>Is he Lieutenant Freddie Williams, a leader of men, a proud officer in the US Army who has suffered such egregious injury and loss? Or is he Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the monstrous Horde, his only solace the beautiful gardener, Rebecca, whose gentle words calm the storms in his soul.</p><p>In the conscious world, the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous mission to that of the prince—a journey along a dark road, haunted by demons of guilt and memory. Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.</p>

The very best how-to book would also be contemporary with up-to-date examples of success. <br /><br />Mandy Akridge's book meets all these criterion, imo. <br /><br />While I had done some online research into debt settlement, the advice you find can be contradictory, the more you study it. Also, most people giving advice on website forums I suspect haven't really negotiated any debt at all. <br />Instead, they're often assuming what should work, with no personal experience to back it up. <br /><br />However, Akridge shows you recent actual credit card letters from her negotiated settlements. And the amount she was able to save is huge. Its all in black and white. <br /><br />The author walks you through the process step-by-step. You end up knowing what to expect, and what issues you'll face. To me, there were many pearls of wisdom and things that just plain made sense. She doesn't seem to sugar-coat anything, but also leaves you feeling pretty optimistic about settling your debts in this manner. <br /><br />Value-wise I just don't see how you can go wrong. Debt settlement companies charge a fortune, (I know, I looked into it) other professional services are even more expensive. This is literally a `steal' by comparison. <br /><br />I'm now convinced you can settle your debts by following this book and I'm glad the author shared her personal experiences. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="width:100%;height:15px;clear:both;padding-top:10px;"><br /><br /></div><br /><a></a><br /><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="0" align="right">  </td> <td valign="top" width="100%" align="left"> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;">8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Best Investment ever!!!</strong>, December 21, 2009</span> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">By </td> <td><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A39R3GGR9FJ6WZ/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Dan <span style="white-space:nowrap;">O<span class="swSprite s_chevron custPopRight"></span></span></span></a> (Upland, CA) - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A39R3GGR9FJ6WZ/ref=cm_cr_dp_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview">See all my reviews</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;" class="tiny"><span class="crVerifiedStripe"><strong style="margin-right:.5em;" class="h3Color tiny">Amazon Verified Purchase</strong><span class="tiny verifyWhatsThis">(<a href="/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase">What's this?</a>)</span></span> </div>I am 120 days late on $22,000 business card.

How would it ever be possible to pay off a large amount of debt paying the minimum payments? Answer is that it would take years, and when finally the debt is paid off, only then to be able to start accumulating money to get ahead? I don't think so! <br /><br />It gave me a different perspective on the debt settlement industry, and gave me hope that I REALLY needed. We, the consumers, are finally going to get back some of our power over the credit card companies and the debt settlement industry who try to make you feel you cannot do this process without them. <br /><br />Thank you Mandy! You were so right and I've got the letter in my hand now to prove it! Now I've just got to get them to add in to the letter &quot;payment is for a full and complete satisfation of the debt&quot; and I'll be all set. <br /><br />I'm grateful to you for this book, this isn't an easy thing to do and your insight is huge! </td></tr></tbody></table>
