Ferial Youakim's dream in life has been to share some of the tools she has found in her own frustrating struggle while not believing in herself. She had to change her thinking to change her life. She had to learn how to believe in herself and love herself for the way she was and not the way others wanted her to be. Although making her mark as a highly respected image consultant in the fashion and retail industries, Ferial Youakim is on the rise of being one of the next inspiring writers of our time. She has battled with thinking she’s not good enough and her own internal contentions; however, she is still standing today and wants to share her story. She had to change her thinking to change her life. She had to learn how to believe in herself and love herself for the way she is and not the way others wanted her to be. Through her story, she wishes to offer peace and success to those who are struggling to find their own self-value. Ferial Youakim’s passion is not just evident in her writing, but also in her work. With a belief that no person should feel less than what they deserve, she wants every single person to understand their own positive self-value. Ferial has hosted image seminars in the hope that the people can discover their true beauty, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. These seminars create scenarios reflective of social and business settings with the use of personal consultations. Additionally, she has consulted to numerous organizations and retailers about the importance of positive self-image. Feral's career spans over thirty years, and she has no intention of stopping. With an award-winning charity and having had the position of global president of AICI (Association of Image Consultants Internationa), she wants to further her ambition. She will not stop until everyone has discovered their true worth. She doesn’t make people beautiful because she is an image consultant; she reminds them of their beauty.
1914
Lady Alexandra Baldwyn is stifled by her claustrophobic life of privilege at Somerton Hall. She is desperate to escape the confines of her family's stately home and do her bit for the war effort like her brother Charles and his best friend, Freddie Chevalier. She pleads with her parents to let her become a nurse in France, but her father refuses to sign the necessary papers and she must be content with driving ambulances in London.
Freddie is secretly in love with Charles's fiancee, Meredith Sutton. When Meredith discovers that Charles has been unfaithful to her, she races to Freddie's home in Jersey for consolation. It's only when the two men are fighting for survival in the trenches of Northern France that Charles discovers their betrayal.
Heartbroken, Meredith joins the Voluntary Aid Detachment and is posted to nurse at a hospital in Amiens. When one of the men suffers a life-changing injury and is admitted to her ward she discovers that her heartache has only just begun. While Lexi reads a letter meant for Charles and ends up having to find a way to keep a little girl safe unsure if she's an orphan or if the child's father is someone close to home.
The Riviera Set reveals the story of the group of people who lived, partied, bed-hopped, and politicked at the Château de l'Horizon near Cannes, over the course of forty years from the time when Coco Chanel made southern French tans fashionable in the twenties to the death of the playboy Prince Aly Khan in 1960. At the heart of dynamic group was the amazing Maxine Elliott, the daughter of a fisherman from Connecticut, who built the beautiful art deco Château and brought together the likes of Noel Coward, the Aga Khan, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and two very saucy courtesans, Doris Castlerosse and Daisy Fellowes, who set out to be dangerous distractions to Winston Churchill as he worked on his journalism and biographies during his "wilderness years" in the thirties. After the War the story continued as the Château changed hands and Prince Aly Khan used it to entertain the Hollywood set, as well as launch his seduction of and eventual marriage to Rita Hayworth. Bringing a bygone era back to life, Mary Lovell cements her spot as one of our top social historians in this captivating and evocative new book.
