Charmed life

The book is worn. There could be creases on the spine and corners, worn around the edges, pages may be browned or other noticeable flaws. The book is still readable, but has lived a long life. While Darklighters threaten to steal true love magic made a wish go wrong: Where two are, once was one -- but two does not mean twice as strong. Too much work and no time for play have made Piper a major stress case. When a seemingly harmless wish comes true, creating two Pipers, it looks like the problem's solved. Two Pipers can do twice as much work, leaving one Piper to party the night away and the other to finally have time to relax. While one Piper's home baking, the other can give an interview. Two Pipers? Too perfect. But soon it becomes clear that two heads -- and bodies -- aren't always better than one. When Darklighters kidnap Leo and hold him hostage in exchange for the Charmed Ones' powers, one of the Pipers doesn't even seem to care. And then both Pipers' powers fade, leaving them useless and sick. Phoebe and Paige scramble to find a reversal spell, but without Leo's help, and with Piper split in two, will the Power of Three become powerless?

Hardcover: Rose's book takes the reader through quarter of a century of service with the Regiment. From Maryhill Barracks, Glasgow in early 1930's to Palestine where Arabs and Jews were fighting among themselves and against the British. Then there was action in Somaliland in the early past of the war, India and with the Chindits in Burma. Those were the days when the regiments fought hard and played hard too: none more than the "Forty-twa". The author is a born raconteur. Whether in his letters home or his reminiscences of the events and personalities. He knew when to be serious. When his Jocks were being unfairly treated, he could be a dragon to the Staff and his surprises. Contained in this book are references to his family and particularly his brothers. There are glimpses of the grand old life before The War and more recent times. No reader can fail to be amused, saddened, impressed and above all charmed by this book.
