She bore twin girls to a marine, William Mitchell, while on the island and began her own family in this strange new land, as she never expected to see her family members or friends again.On her return to Sydney, she began a new life with another soldier, Thomas Wright, with whom she had another child but was imprisoned again for selling her children's rations to purchase rum, where she met a strange cockney woman named Margaret, who was in charge of the prison and who changed her life. William Mitchell, who returned to England, investigated who Margaret was as she had now died, and in doing so, came up against Irish rebels who threatened his life but finally gave him a sealed letter as to her true identity, that could not be opened by anyone other than one of the two Fitzgerald women.

Men of Integrity, written by Aaron Porter, is a powerful yet intimate work of the heart aimed at men of today's era. Whether you are 24 or 74, any man could benefit from the ideas and insights. The book is a matter-of-fact accounting of his boyhood and broken manhood, which led him, along with many men like him, into a life of violence, crime, infidelity, and eventually prison. He explains the brokenness of society and how that leads young men to acquire the "wrong expectations of God" and, out of disillusionment, begin to act out and live life according to their own rules and their know-how. "Men of Integrity" is a plea for men to take off the masks of false manhood and take accountability for their lives. For any man who has found his life has become full of lies about drug abuse, violence, or infidelity, this book offers a blueprint, a way out, but also a way to live through Jesus Christ and thrive in life as you move forward. Porter skillfully weaves his personal history, philosophy, and the scriptures to tell of his life and offer a way out for suffering men. Any man who reads this book cannot honestly ask the questions that Porter puts to the reader without deeply examining his psyche and soul. If Porter made one thing clear, it is that the lessons in the book are a map toward wisdom, and wisdom is only possible through Christ. I believe it is the highest truth in the book. Again, in Porter's words: "...[W]e can only remove blinders, overcome addictions, conquer our fears, and walk-in grace by the wisdom of God." Eddie Trujillo Grijalva

Whether hiking a Colorado trail or walking the streets of a major city, we are all making choices regarding the path of life we are on. We each need, want, and desire a close friend - a faithful confidant, someone we look up to and see eye to eye with. Communication leads to fellowship, which leads to relationship, which leads to trust, which leads to trusting the Person of Truth.Consider God speaking in these three distinctly different ways: Spirit to spirit, that still small voice inside our being that our souls tend to question; person to person, being made in the image and likeness of our Creator with the ability to communicate the wisdom of God to those around us; through circumstances, whether good or bad, that affect our five senses and draw us to our heavenly Father. Hopefully, you already have an "old man" in your life who is helping you through the places you are going with the wisdom they gained from having been there before you.If you are walking alone, let the old man in the book be the pattern for someone God will send you in the future. That person doesn't take the place of God, but they help us see the goodness of God eye to eye.
