Publisher Marketing: The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

With the support of Emily and her unparallel love for him Thomas has been able to overcome his demons and become a successful businessman. Thomas recognizes he is by no means healed or cured and may never be, but has at a minimum relieved a great pressure from his life by authoring this book and telling his story. The hope for Thomas is that no one else in the world has suffered through the experiences he endured as a child and in the event someone has or is currently experiencing a similar situation and wants them to know there is hope for them. He wants others to know they are not alone and if he could overcome the obstacles that were placed in front of him and achieve happiness and success anyone with the desire to succeed has the ability within themselves to do the same. Thomas thinks about his abuse daily and what life would have been like for Emily and his daughters had he been successful in killing himself. He is ashamed and embarrassed by his actions and has learned to live each day as a gift and treasure the moments he has with his family.
