Born in the late 1940's and early 50's and raised in a segregated town in southern Mississippi, a group of Black girls and boys came of age together, and graduated from high school in Hattiesburg as "e;The Class of 1968."e; Now in their late 60's and early 70's, they have chosen to reflect on their families, community, and school experiences. Together, they experienced one of the most tumultuous eras in U.S. history, and they reflect on those experiences in these personal essays. They think back on the Vietnam War, the draft, the assassination of their neighbors and national leaders, and the Civil Rights Movement. The fact that they came of age during these tumultuous events makes their experiences all the more vivid and profound, since the tender adolescent years typically mark us more profoundly than other phases in life. Perhaps most significantly, the era suddenly brought racial desegregation to Hattiesburg, in early 1967. Under "e;Freedom of [School] Choice,"e; some Black Hattiesburg students saw their lifelong friends choose to attend the white high school for their senior year. Their stories bring forth a rush of memories, some that will make you laugh, others that will make you cry, and many that will make you wonder how things may have turned out differently had racism not poisoned their day-to-day lives. Although the contributors dealt with these formative experiences differently, all were touched in some way by the same forces in the dying days of legalized segregation. The essays here also reflect on our present moment: although racial segregation has lessened, it still persists in Hattiesburg and throughout America, leading to an era we might call racial resegregation. Yet the 1950's and 60's have ended. "e;We don't want these memories to die with us,"e; says lead editor Mrs. Doris Gaines. "e;We want the next generations to know our thoughts and feelings and to understand how the past helped make us what we are today, and what made us tick."e; The Class of 1968: A Thread Through Time explains how these citizens negotiated their youth in Hattiesburg and, in doing so, offers us wisdom about how to move through life with grace and integrity.

Enid Stafford and her family have survived the repercussions of a sneak attack on the United States. Now, nearly three years later, the US and their small part of it is returning to normal.

Enid is determined to succeed and finds she is stronger than she ever imagined she could be and uses that strength to sustain her family, her community, and herself.

Sometimes, you need advice from people other than your parents, and Now What has all the advice and guidance one needs to enter the challenges of the real world. I have spoken at college campuses and can't believe how many students have no goals or any idea on what to do upon graduation. Now What covers topics such as interview preparation, setting goals, not letting anyone get in the way of your career, never to play with scared money, being the best at every job you have, be a great listener, be memorable, dress for success, investing advice, be highly creative, be a player not a victim, maintaining a positive attitude, not being afraid to fail, being decisive, and paying it forward to name a few. When I graduated West Virginia University in 1979, I started my first job out of college at WPLJ / New York City and showed up my first day in platform shoes and a plaid sport coat and basically got laughed at by my coworkers because I wasn't shown the way. This book will inspire you to take action and live the very best life you can live. Get out there and show them what you are made of and how special you are!

This book is written for all generations: past, present, and future. I hope that once they read it, people will try to get their children be interested in it and put it to use in their everyday lives.

An epic achievement over one hundred years in the makingIn December 1941, Japan had perhaps the greatest combination of land, sea, and air forces the world had ever seen, and she used these to conquer a huge empire in the Western Pacific and East Asia. Yet by August 1945, Japan had been beaten to her knees by the combined power of China, Great Britain, and the United States. Was this destruction inevitable? Did Japan have no chance to defeat America and her allies? Why would she think she could successfully battle the two greatest industrial powers the world had ever known-Great Britain and the United States-at the same time?Violet Lightning: A Blueprint for Japanese Victory in the Pacific, 1941-1942 is a sweeping narrative over a century in the making. From the first confrontation in 1895 between the United States and Japan over Hawaii; to the massive Japanese defeats at Midway and Guadalcanal in 1942; to author John Eric Vining's first interest in the Japanese-American conflict in the fall of 1967 by reading Carrier War in the Pacific; to the fall of 1995 when Vining first put pen to paper on this project; and finally, to 2020's finished product by Page Publishing, Vining reviews a history of the acrimony between Japan and the United States in the first half of the Twentieth Century. He then builds what one reviewer calls a "e;chillingly believable"e; scenario for a Japanese victory in the greatest of all wars. Violet Lightning poses and answers the question: "e;Could Japan really have pulled it off?"e; You just might find yourself coming around to a point of view you didn't believe was possible.

Imagine in 1880 a South Texas rancher perfects a plot to smuggle sacred cattle from India to improve his herd. Now imagine one hundred years later when the Indian descendants arrive in Brownsville, Texas, to fulfill their obligation to avenge their ancestors and sacred cattle. The Cameron County judge is a target of the Indians, being the heir of the rancher that smuggled the cattle. The drug cartels, drug violence, Mexico, South Texas, and the Rio Grande River afford the perfect setting for the book. It is the perfect time in history for the young Indians to carry out their destiny, with strict new gun laws and feuding Mexican drug cartels.

If you believe there are no coincidences in life and we are on a destined path, then this book will attest to that perception. The story of Luz is where this journey begins. It is a powerful example of strength, of will to push through one's fears, and of raw determination to survive. The lessons and examples of having the courage not only to survive but to ultimately thrive through some of life's hardships eventually became the threads of knowledge that were passed on to Marianna.Marianna enters her life's story only to be abandoned by her mother at the age of three months, her mother who was too young and unwilling to do "e;what it takes"e; to care for the children she brought into the world. Whether by "e;destiny"e; or by "e;coincidence,"e; this child is left with Luz, who had also survived her own tragedy of being left and abandoned after her parents had been killed. Luz would become a grounding force and guiding light in Marianna's life.Marianna spends a lifetime behind the facade of pretending, showing people she was happy and willing to do most anything to show the world how well-adjusted she was. Marianna's journey to discover she was accepted and good enough unfolds in a way that she is able to gain insight into life-her life-thus passing along her own threads of knowledge to her children and generations to come for more of the tapestry to be woven.

I have read all of Ludlum and Clancy, and this ranks up there with their top ten percent. -FBI regional supervisor (name withheld due to regulations)

Over the last twenty years of the 20th Century, set in Georgia and primarily in southern California, Patrick Kirk writes a fictional account of the lives of Bryan and Carolyn Jenkins as they traverse the "e;yuppies gotta have it all"e; lifestyle. The story is in some ways a high-tech suspense thriller; part romance, part spy novel. It is about business, mentorship, career changes and their effects on a marriage and having a family in the 90's. It's also about corporate corruption and greed and how the PC software revolution assisted in the decline in American business values. It's a dissection of the Enron-driven rolling electrical blackouts and the company's ultimate demise. Some of the story lines are imagined after people, places, events and technology encountered by the author during his thirty years in the PC software business.

Little Storm came to Cora Phenix shortly after she gave birth to their first daughter, Rhea. She was lying in bed one night, sleep-deprived, trying to get some rest. Next thing she remembers was these verses ringing loud and clear in her head: "e;Little Cloud and Little Storm / Met one day when it was warm."e; She jumped up, picked up her phone from her dresser, and wrote them down. The next morning, she looked at them, and in less than an hour, she wrote the entire thing. Words were coming to her as if whispered by someone else who already knew them, like a dictation. She had no struggle putting them down. For the past five years, this book sat in her phone, waiting to be published. The new mother stage she has just entered then opened a door and allowed this to come out. That fragile little human in her arms who was crying when hungry, laughing when happy, and sleeping when tired inspired this story to come to life. So she dedicates this book to you, new mom from the past, present, and future, and to your little children to tell you that you are a miracle! You are divine perfection and everything you do is perfect!

I was born in Colorado but raised in Arkansas. I like visiting big cities and vacations to other places, but it's the country life I call home. If any of you get the chance to visit Aruba the happy little island, please do, it's amazing and beautiful with very friendly and helpful people. I have been so blessed with many family, friends, and relatives who have inspired me to write this book, and especially my youngest sister who was in a bad car accident in her twenties and suffered serious back injury but it has never stopped her from raising her family or spoiling her grandchildren a single day. God rescued me as a very young child and stuck with me through all my skids off the road. I have always said he doesn't leave us, we leave him; and when we go back, he's right there waiting. I have lived the best days of my life to the fullest and been blessed with so many memories to see me through the time I have left on this earth. Laugh, live, and love while you are young and healthy so you can live off the memories when your older and can't go the way you want to.

A coming-of-age and picaresque story, with a continuum of knee-jerk humor and descriptive details, sees its way through the unpleasantness of abuse and not having any permanent roots or family. Readers follow the main character from childhood to adulthood as he is shifted from multiple homes and states. Throughout the character's journey, the persona he develops is born from innocence, natural-given talents, and his desires to make happiness exist. Although the story begins with horrific abuse, the reader soon realizes that this is not the focus of the book but rather the beginning of a quest. The author's intent is for readers to question "e;What happened?"e; Some questions cannot be answered and remain a mystery. The coming-of-age and rite-of-passage events remind readers of their own stories to tell and compare. A collage of images and feelings will take readers back to their childhood memories as they shadow the main character. The happiness, bitterness, and humor are fueled by extreme turning points and multiple changes of ideologies, cultures, and idiosyncrasies that molded the main character into a psychedelic hodgepodge of personality. Readers will take on all the emotional elements, experiences, and constant changes as they were happening. They uncover the answers and realizations of feeling alone and unwanted until they are warmed and tickled by the character's way of viewing the world. The title of the book and each chapter reflects the constant changes during the main character's life. The theme, style, and language are comparable to Angela's Ashes, A Child Called "e;It,"e;, and I'm Nobody's Child. It is not a woe-is-me book. The detailed descriptions allow readers to feel the despair of what it is like being an anomaly but, more importantly, to enjoy and have fun learning about typical boy fantasies, thoughts, rationales, and the angst and anxieties of growing up.

This book is a part two to my first book, The Truth You Didn't Know. My first book was LUNCH, but this part two is DINNER. And it's even bumpier than part one was. You will enjoy reading part two just like part one. Thanks for reading The Other Truth You Didn't Know. Lakisha Marie Mackie

SOPHIESince the moment I saw his face, my life has been in chaos. I don't know his name, but still I see him night after night-his striking face appearing in my dream. Is it a portent of things to come, warning me to run from him? Or could it mean something else? I can't seem to make any sense of it, and lately, my idyllic life hasn't been so idyllic. I can't tell my parents about these impossible things I can do because I don't want to see that fear in their eyes-the same fear I feel growing stronger in me every day. So instead of running, I make the decision to trust him. I let him calm my fear while I confront truths I'd rather keep hidden. Still, I can't tell him that my greatest fear is the little time we have left. Soon, I'll have to watch him walk away. ZACHI've done some things I'm not proud of, but who hasn't? Okay, maybe I've done a few more than most, but these days I don't give into those distractions. Especially when I feel the consequences in ways nobody could ever understand. Now, I occupy my time by going where I'm needed. I keep things calm and controlled while helping them see the hard choices they'll have to make. I've done it countless times. Except nothing about this girl is like those other times. There's more for her to fear than just these strange, but extraordinary things she can do-she also has a past she doesn't even know about yet. So even if she would prefer to keep me at a distance, I simply can't let that happen. I need to know her secrets and keep her safe. It's what I do. I'm the empath.

On Riding a Bike Blindfolded is based on the thoughts and experiences written by a heroin addict named Scott. His words and illustrations were found and read by his mother, Lori, after he died from an overdose. Due to his addiction, Scott left home and was not welcomed back until he stopped using drugs, something he could not manage to do. He lived from place to place, including abandoned warehouses, condemned shacks, and boxes in alleys, among other uncomfortable places. Undoubtedly, he shared all these places with rats and other hungry creatures. Sometimes, he was lucky and shared a friend's apartment. Other times, he spent weeks, months, or years in jail cells or prison. From all these places, he wrote what has come to be the journal you will read in this book. In every page of Scott's journal, he tells you every part of his life-from what it's like to share a crowded jail holding cell with sick and scary prisoners or being arrested and handcuffed in front of his girlfriend and every detail he suffered during his horrendous journey with heroin. The journal is not just about his experience with addiction. Scott was not just about addiction. He was an athlete, an artist, a pole dancer, the gymnast kind, and a poet. He loved his family, his friends, and especially the girl he hoped to marry. You will find yourself wanting to be his friend one minute, and the next minute, you will want to scream how mad you are because of his choices. This story is like no other one. It is told in a very personal way that makes you feel a part of his life. The last words Scott writes are written on the very day he died. His death will make you sad and maybe a little angry that some very bad people killed himand walked away.

This is a short love story that takes place over a forty-five-year period in our lives. The actual love story only takes place for about a year and a half. In that time, a very strong friendship and love affair would endure forty years, two marriages each, and eight children between us (now grown). I believe in love, miracles, second chances, God, and most of all, our friendship which has never left us. The love affair is a small part of this story. We became friends who trusted, loved, and searched for each other through others but failed until January 12, 2019, when Edie finally found me on Facebook. The story doesn't end here; it begins here.

This is a coming-of-age book. Most young men are thrust into the world at the age of eighteen and told to get a job or go to college. People of a certain age know it's not quite that simple. This book includes advice to young men (and young women, in some cases) about what direction they should be thinking of going into. Being honest, most parents are too busy to focus on the little things that my book will provide, especially to single moms.

When Growing Up Is Magic was inspired by my own childhood, which like many, was incomplete. I discovered that poems could help me express what was great about growing up and, even more, what could have been great if only... When Growing Up Is Magic is a window into a young person's imagination. These poems treat a young person's world and ideas with great respect. For youth, these poems are confirmation. For adults, they take you into a kid's imagination. The result, I believe, is relational connection. When Growing Up Is Magic is a compilation of poems about growing up, being home, family quirks, and things kids love to dream about like dinosaurs and the underwater world. There are poems of inspiration and poems expressing what we love about the seasons. Growing up is a time to cherish, respect, and love. It is a time that passes too quickly. But if we are willing to get a little lost in it, it is magic!
