"Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick is the literary memoir of a little girl warrior. Sparky's story shines the spotlight on crimes against American children that were sanctioned on a national scale by the United States government. At the age of six in 1955, she was sold by her parents to the Sex Magick cult run by the CIA under its illegal program of secret experimentation on mind control called Monarch. By the time she was ten, she'd been purposely split into multiple identities, each one associated with a different age and place as her family moved around the country to avoid Child Protective Services and the police. With each new identity, she forgot the last one. In Imperial Beach, California, a tough neighborhood of gangs and brothels abutting the Tijuana Sewer and the Mexican border, she discovered her own courage in the determined persona of a new character, Sparky MacGregor, a Scottish girl who stepped from the pages of an old book and chided her for being weak and afraid. When they touched hands, she exhaled the last vestiges of fear and defeat. She became a warrior who never surrendered. As she grew older, Sparky's memory faded as she was moved from one location to the next. At the age of seventeen, she escaped from a camp in Big Sur, and left childhood behind. She became a physician, raised a family and moved to Moscow where she founded and ran an underground railroad for child sex trafficking victims from the former USSR. Years later, she returned to Imperial Beach to speak at an international conference on border security. The memory of her lost childhood suddenly returned. It hung in the briny air of the wetlands that stretched south to Tijuana. It was there that she re-discovered Sparky. When they touched hands again, the fusion of past and present was like the purr of two engines meshed into synchrony. "Do you remember your promise to me?" Sparky asked. "You vowed to write our terrible story, making it beautiful." This is Sparky's story"-- Provided by publisher

Angels Over Moscow is an inspirational first-person account by Dr. Juliette Engel, an American physician who founded the non-profit MiraMed Institute to reform maternal and infant healthcare in Russia. During her mission to enhance medical care for children in orphanages, she uncovered a connection between state institutions and an international trafficking network exploiting young Russian girls for prostitution. This discovery led her to Norway, where she confronted the grim realities of human trafficking. Determined to make a difference, Dr. Engel traveled throughout the former USSR, often facing great personal danger, to create the Angel Coalition—a network of villagers, educators, police, media, and government officials dedicated to combating trafficking and rescuing thousands of victims. Her efforts coincided with the collapse of the USSR, as the Russian people grappled with their identity amidst chaos. Dr. Engel's unwavering commitment saved countless lives and contributed to the healing of a fractured nation. In sharing her journey, she reflects on the unexpected path her life took, illustrating the profound impact of idealism and the choices that define our destinies. Her story serves as a tribute to those who fight for justice and humanity, highlighting the crossroads we all face in life.
