Here is a beautiful, slow-burning story set in Montreal and Bogota where heartbreak and hardship are mirrored in the streets of these two cities. For the class-minded Romero family, it was a tragedy, the mortal social sin committed by their son, Mauricio. Orphaned young Mauricio was the youngest brother in a family of eight siblings and was bound for a successful career in law, imitating his three older brothers. His passion was to become a professional soccer player, which took him to the wrong side of the city and the unwanted kind of acquaintances. In the process, he becomes blind to his own emotional life, allowing his sexual desires to drive his decisions, and he thinks he has outgrown his siblings who were once his entire world.In this universal drama of family love and rebellion, isolation harbored and drove him to the underground. On a free fall from grace to anonymity, his actions result in a sudden move to Montreal and the decision for reconstructing himself in a foreign country, as an immigrant with no direction in life, only with the dream of becoming a writer.The long journey takes the immigrant from emotional depravation and complete loneliness through an honest self-search and a quest for family. The power of having loved and lost, ever present in this honest recount of one's life and how it overcame the obstacles of a dangerous detour.

Songbirds, recently released by Newman Springs Publishing, was originally written 25 years ago during a period of unemployment that led the author, RoseAnna Lucarelli, back to teaching and, left her little time to write. RoseAnna approached Ms. Gwendolyn Davis, Senior Librarian, 96th Street Branch of the New York Public Library and asked for a critique of her manuscript humbly bound at Staples, written on a laptop purchased at a thrift store. Mrs. Davis, acknowledged posthumously, took the time from her busy schedule coordinating poetry events, to read the original manuscript and, unequivocally encouraged her to read aloud at Barnes & Noble and the NYPL. She did - to welcoming audiences! During that period, the East Side Rapist terrorized the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and RoseAnna started Rose Petals, a fictionalized screenplay about a woman, stalked and attacked by a rapist who terrorized the Upper East Side; the protagonist struggles with forgiveness - a theme that has haunted the author. Forgiveness; Love: Familial, Pets, Nature; Kindness; Time, Life, Death; and a cast of characters, beguiling and dastardly, are themes the author has explored, hoping, like Emily Dickinson, that she has written for people who do not read poetry. An article published in the Chestnut Hill Local, by Len Lear, Features Editor, "Expecting rejection but accepted by first publisher!"; tributes to her parents, Italian heritage; a story about her heroine dog; and photographs are included in the volume whose cover was designed by the author. Within one month of its release, Songbirds has been accepted for inclusion in the collections of the Philadelphia Free Library, PA; Warminster Public Library, PA; Doylestown Public Library, PA; Lambertville Public Library, Lambertville, NJ; and Montserrat College of Art, MA. Wind SongsWind songs echo In a room called homeOpening and closingYesterday's doorUntil I beg themTo sing no moreChanting to a burning hearthFlirting with each flickering flameStill asking me to praise your nameTimeless fires burning longKissed to life by warm wind songsForce me to rememberI am alone with the embers

American Civil War Era 1861-1865, African American Diaspora 1619-1865. Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1861 so the slaves could fight in the Civil War. One hundred eighty thousand black soldiers joined the Union Army; forty thousand were killed. General Grant was very pleased with the black soldier. He said, "In battle, the dead black soldiers would cover the length of a football field." He further stated, "He could walk the length of a football field on dead bodies, and his feet would never touch the ground." African Americans fought in the Revolutionary War. The first man killed in the Revolutionary War was a black man named Crispus Attucks. He was killed during the 1770 Boston Massacre. He was one of the five thousand slaves who fought in the Revolutionary War. Harriet Tubman was a spy for the Union Army. She was nicknamed General Tubman and received a pension from the Union Army. Bass Reeves, born in 1838, was a celebrated hero, the first black US marshal in the United States; he was a legend as a US marshal. The Gettysburg Address, Pennsylvania, November 19, 1863. Africa, nearly ten million miles wide, is the second largest continent; Asia is the largest continent. Some African tribes sold Africans to the white man to be taken to America and enslaved. The Dred Scott Decision: Chief Supreme Court Justice Taney ruled in the Dred Scott decision that a slave is a slave no matter where he is, he is the property of his master, and he has no rights that the white man has to respect. The fifty battles in the Civil War, including the bloodiest battles, had fifty-six thousand casualties in one day.

This is the story about an army veteran who meets aliens, and it gives his life a new purpose when he helps them fight a war among the stars.

Carlene A. Lanier was born in and lived on her grandparents' farm in Arnott, Wisconsin, before moving to Winslow, Arizona. These heartwarming and humorous children's stories capture the wonder of her idyllic childhood: feeding the chickens; picking apples with her mom; picking strawberries with her younger sister, Catherine; and skiing and ice-skating with her friends in Wisconsin. Camping trips to Mack's Crossing near Payson and Oak Creek Canyon and adventures with her older brother, Bernard, in Arizona were always fun.Also included in this volume are two fictional stories, "Sergeant Nick, Guard Dog," based on the unique personality of a beloved dog, and "Heinz, the American Miceologist" based on the author's cat.

This story came about on a hot August day while I was working in my hobby shop. I heard a loud scraping noise in my driveway. I went to see what it was and went back into my shop and tried to work. Things bounced around in my mind about Christmas like a song that won't exit the skull. After about an hour of this, I went into the house and wrote down about three pages of notes and didn't write the story until January. Things are always bouncing around in my head. Sometimes, the thoughts solve a problem I'm having. Other times, they turn into an idea for a new project that would, of course, go along with my John Deere stuff.

The book focuses more on Mrs. Claus rather than on Santa. It is about Mrs. Claus being put in a situation where Santa becomes ill, and she is placed out of her comfort zone so that children won't be disappointed for Christmas.I got the idea while watching Christmas cartoons this past year, and I noticed that we really weren't seeing Mrs. Claus. I'm old-fashioned, and I don't like computers, so I picked up a pencil and eraser at first when I began writing.

This book is about my life and how we are all affected by the events that are taking place in our society right now. I have a sports section, which shows how I view certain sports events and my view on the evolution on sports. There is also a section where I talk about neighbors and community and how certain people play big roles in our society has grown into a beautiful place, with examples such as intuition and how it is also good to have positive momentum and a positive attitude about life.I also talk about things I have learned from other people, such as why the weather is nice some days and why mother nature is affecting us negatively. I also talk about the problems I have solved in this world, such as back problems and diseases that have affected many people. There are many signs and symbols that I pick up on in our everyday lives, and I define my definition based on my knowledge of the world. In my book, I talk about how Hollywood has affected my life and how I feel the words in their movies and songs speak to me. The songs and movies that Hollywood produces have a lot of messages that speak to me, so I wanted to tell people how they benefit me and the entire world.

Abraham Lincoln recognized that the US Civil War would be a "hard war". Secession and slavery represented abiding beliefs central to Southern life. Overcoming them would require a war of attrition resulting in much death and destruction, but Lincoln knew that the populous industrial North would prevail in a war of "grim mathematics". He hoped that in George McClellan he had found the general to wage this war.McClellan, though young and bright, was not up to the task. Early in his tenure, he showed that he could organize a large army, but month upon month of inaction followed. McClellan politically favored preserving the Union for mercantile reasons, but slavery was a matter for the states to decide and therefore, negotiable. Reunion, he felt, did not require abolition. McClellan had talents as an organizer but could not bring himself "pull the trigger" on a decisive battle. Lincoln was finally able to coerce McClellan into proposing the Peninsular Campaign in the spring of 1862. The plan called for a massive amphibious operation which would deposit an army on the doorstep of Richmond and force a Confederate surrender. Lincoln did not like a plan as risky and costly as this, but reluctantly agreed.McClellan endangered the success of his plan by avoiding direct engagement with the enemy and working his way up the peninsula at a snail's pace. He lost the confidence and support of many of his subordinate generals. Phil Kearny was particularly aggrieved as he espoused a hard war and continuing contact with the enemy. After months of battles and squandered opportunities, McClellan ordered a retreat. His generals administered a final defeat to the Confederates at Malvern Hill but still were forced to withdraw to Harrison's Landing where they were unable to generate further offensive operations.McClellan had misused and betrayed the Army of the Potomac and failed to capitalize on their bravery and competence. His betrayal had only begun...

Jesus Christ is a unique being because of his miraculous birth, his ascension, and the Second Coming. Therefore, significant disputes have emerged regarding his reality and mission. The Bible itself contains two opposing images of Jesus, their parts have been scattered into the chapters of the books of the New Testament. Certainly, these two opposing images of Jesus cannot, of course, both be concurrently authentic at the same time. But one must be for Truly Jesus, and the other one is for Falsely Jesus. The two contradictory images of Jesus in the Bible, as well as the disputes regarding his reality and his interrelation to salvation as a savior, will remain until his Second Coming. Then Truly Jesus is manifested to the man of that time, and the Falsely will be destroyed. But what about a person today? Is he aware of the two images of Jesus, the true image and the false one that are scattered in the Bible? Does he not feel the necessity of exploring Jesus who in his heart, whether he is the true one or the false? Certainly, whoever has based his faith in Jesus on clear and conclusive evidence is rightly guided, or else he is in plain error.This book is a new analytical study, where it assembles all the scattered parts of each of the two contradictory images of Jesus in the Bible, highlights them as two complete images, examines them, explores their differences and how did Falsely Jesus appear and why? Also, this book presents to those who believe in the Hereafter, the proofs of the only one true formula of salvation, and to those who do not believe, the proofs of the necessity of an afterlife. The hope with this book is to offer the clarity of intention and the ability to distinguish between the two readings of Jesus as presented in this book.

Tim Nicholas, Bob Farley, and Gary Jenkins grew up together in a small neighborhood in Pendleton, Oregon. Tim and Bob were eight years old when they met, and Gary came later, an annoying pest who was four years younger and wouldn't leave Tim and Bob alone. They finally grew tired of shooing him away.They enrolled in college, got an education, and returned to their hometown because that's where they wanted to live. In Pendleton, they were adults and soon were adults with jobs, wives, and children. Each man worked hard and was respected by their community. They weren't famous or flashy, just honest and friendly.Instead of being connected by sports as they were when they were kids, they were connected by steelhead fishing, the big brawling fish that swim from the Pacific Ocean into the Umatilla River to spawn.Tim had four children; the youngest, Sarah, was his only daughter and was referred by her older brothers as the golden child. She outgrew her junior high snot-rag stage and was an energetic and intelligent high school student. Her personality could be summed up in one nineteenth-century term: sassy. She would become a US Forest Service smokejumper squad leader with important responsibilities that she handled very well.When the three men reached retirement age, they still fished and camped. Life was good, until it wasn't. One of them had to be the first to die. Bob's story is sad, but he was surrounded by good friends and a compassionate wife. They made sure Bob wouldn't be alone in his final ordeal. Bob's story was not a test of friendship. Instead, it was an affirmation.

"Letters from Wankie" is a unique true story based on the collection of some 500 air letters the author, British-born Patricia Friedberg, wrote home to England in the mid-1950s, during the first two years of her marriage to her South African physician husband. Together the newlyweds moved to the remote mining town of Wankie in the far northwest corner of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) where he was employed as a colliery doctor. More than 50 years later, after her mother passed away, Patricia found among her mother's papers the bundle of air letters neatly tied and safely stored. Reading through the collection it was evident that the letters contained an incredible, historical account of life during the colonial years as seen through the eyes and writings of a young woman, twenty years of age, who was, unbelievably, even to herself, employed as Clerk of the Court at the Native Commissioner's Office. Despite the enormous cultural differences the young Londoner faced -- the challenging and often shocking exposure to tribal practices and native law -- she carried on, overcoming obstacles with spunk and grit and a saving sense of humor. PRAISE FOR "LETTERS FROM WANKIE" "A gorgeous, touching, tragic tale of a lost -- but now, thanks to Patricia Friedberg -- never forgotten time in a remote corner of colonial Africa." --Douglas Rogers, "New York Times" journalist and author of "The Last Resort: A Memoir of Zimbabwe" ". . . a delightful account of a plucky young woman who takes things as they come and makes the best of them. She effectively uses the device of letters to home . . . Patricia's 'voice' made me smile all through her account . . . like listening to a charming tale told by a good friend . . . a friend you have known forever. Well done!" --Georgia Court, owner, Bookstore 1, Sarasota "What an adventure! I loved this book! I could not stop reading this honestly portrayed, exhilarating account . . . Filled with humour and astute wry observations, this is a delightful trip into the past . . . a valuable slice of history that documents an era now washed away, an insight into a country which was once the jewel of Africa, and now is in ruins." --Paul Williams, Ph.D., author of "Soldier Blue" "An inspiring -- and most satisfying read." --Joan Kufrin, author of "Uncommon Women" and "Leo Burnett, Star-Reacher" ". . . mental scenery that is thought-provoking, instructs and entertains. Exceedingly well done and a pleasure to read." --Marilyn Pincus, bestselling author, ghostwriter and member of the Authors Guild, New York, NY

About four years ago, I was walking along a boardwalk that helps park goers traverse a beautiful floodplain in one of our city's metro parks. I was watching where I was stepping and not paying attention to my surroundings. For some reason, I stopped looking down and I looked to my left. Staring at me, probably no more than ten yards away, was a huge buck. Here's the weird thing: the first thought I had was, Does he know it's Tuesday? Subsequent quirky ideas popped into my head: Does he go on vacations? Is he thinking of retirement? What if our animal friends thought and acted more like we humans? Wouldn't that be a hoot? I hope these 114 quirkies bring some smiles and laughter into your life.
