Breaking Cover: My Secret Life in the CIA and What It Taught Me about What's Worth Fighting for

Product Information

A woman in middle east is not respected, and one uncovered, without the head cover or burka, is looked on as only a sexual object. I didn't like it nearly as well as some of the Liz Carlyle books, especially the first one, which was very good.

Much of the book is devoted to the author's discussion of her life as a CIA agent and the dangers and anxieties of a life in espionage and her struggle with her faith given her experiences and her frustrations about always being in harm's way. However, from a young age Simon had set his sights on becoming a painter, drawing battleships and aircraft on any clean white surface he came across. It seems like it’s difficult to live alongside Muslim extremism no matter what other faith you have. Born in Surrey, John Frederick Herring senior was the son of an upholsterer and fringe-maker for coaches. They endured a lot, from the bureaucracy within the CIA, the transitory secretive life that being a spy necessitates and the ever-present perils that surrounded them.The thread of faith and trust throughout her story is realistic as are the dangerous life and death situations she faced, some of which caused her to question if she could do the job and survive; even wonder if she had misunderstood what God wanted her to do. This is a lesson that many readers will be able to apply, regardless of what they think about the author's attempts to justify the extreme compartmentalization of her life as a CIA agent from her behavior as a loyal wife and upstanding Christian. The pencil suggests a creative woman at work; the reflected chemistry equipment highlights her scientific chops.

That’s why I wanted to read author Michele Rigby Assad’s new book Breaking Cover – My Secret Life In The CIA and What It Taught Me About What’s Worth Fighting For. This cover is literally any bibliophile’s dream – once I saw it, there was no way I was not gonna read this book.We know there is still a long way to go but we hope we are on the right track to making a difference for a better world. Sure, the dialogue's a bit clunky and stilted, but even that has become part of Dame Stella's signature. You will start to see a pattern in the covers that catch my eye: I like simple, bright statements, and Lessons in Chemistryis a great example of this style. There are lessons throughout Breaking Cover that remind me that God is in fact always there, always working, and always looking ahead. We’re a few months into this blog project now, and I seem to actually be sticking with it – which means I can come clean about how these new covers for the Miss Marple series inspired me to start the blog in the first place.
