A young boy plunged too soon into manhood when the death of his parents left him alone to fend for himself in a world where it's dog eat dog. Only fourteen years old in 1954, he meets a hobo who educates him about "riding the rails," and he catches a freight train in Fort Worth, Texas, headed for California. The trip is long, cold, and dangerous, but he is determined and strong willed. The boy finally makes it to a farm labor camp in California, where he finds his long-lost older brother, and they set out on new adventures. Hard times and new friends are in store for him.

The author is a well known singer in NYC. The book is a compilation of the best ideas about how to sing well technically with the greatest technical accuracy, bearing in mind that each singer will approach singing in a slightly different manner. The greatest pitfall as a solo singer is becoming part of a large chorus where the solo singer is encouraged to sing heartily, but off the breath. Knowing how to sing on the breath is not altogether spontaneous. Being part of a large chorus and singing full out can be damaging to a light voice. The devil is in the balance of the correct vocal placement of each individual voice. That takes a special teacher with well educated ears. The book is squarely focused on the free and accurate balance of the solo voice. Choruses allow for very imprecise singing. Many light soprano voices in particular can suffer damage before they are mature enough singers to recognize what precise vocal aduction is (ie the manner in which the vocal folds come together to create a sound). This book tries to address that very common problem. Sue Hassel sang as soon as she could walk. Many mistakes were made with her voice by teachers who didn't sing as soloists. This book addresses the most common issues and illustrates and discusses simple solutions. There is a very solid correlation between singing well and dancing well in a beginning ballet class. Sue Hassel relies heavily on simple ballet moves to keep her voice in good condition to this day.

A "must read" for the thinker.Introspective. Insightful. Provocative.Observations of humanity in unlikely places by an unlikely individual.Compelling. Irreverent.

MP Kollman's The Accident begins the third of the linked trilogies that make up The Brothers series and takes place six years after Brothers, the first book in the first trilogy of the series. The Accident deals with the repercussions of a car accident that causes the deaths of two longstanding series characters: Jimmy Bauer's wife, Faith, and their older son, James, Jr (JJ). After the accident, Kevin Grayson, another reader favorite, does what he does best as a member of the Bureau of Drug Enforcement-investigate. When he discovers the driver of the other car is the daughter of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, someone Kevin's wife knows personally, the only way to truly be certain of justice is to turn his back on family and friends and work undercover in Washington DC. Will his wife and Jimmy end up turning their backs on Kevin?

'The Tears of the Revolution' tells the story of Abdul Karim Faye, who decided it was high time for change not only for his country but the entire African continent. But it is also for Karim Faye, the people's hero, to fight for his infatuation with the beautiful Fanta Diop, who happens to be the daughter of the Minister of National Education and granddaughter of the President. The government officials will try to corrupt Karim and Karim will do everything to not only save his nation but also his love for Fanta; but at what price?After the atrocities of slavery and the cruelties of colonization it was hard to believe that the African continent would still be subject of so much suffering. And yet many leaders have come, passed by and showed the way out, but things do not seem to have changed much.In 'Tears of the Revolution', Abdul Karim Faye, a solitary hero proposes a way, which I hope will compel any Africans, or lovers of Africa to ask the following questions: What if the many young African youths, who died trying to cross the oceans or deserts to reach Europe decided to stay, enter politics and change the fate of their nations?What if the African organizations of nations played a better role than refusing to condemn heads of states who amend their constitutions, for more years in power?What if the United Nations started considering the African nations as it considers Europe or other countries of the world, for indeed if those dying in the Mediterranean sea were Europeans the reactions would be different.With a deep love story that goes along the tribulations of the hero, 'Tears of the Revolution' offers to the reader a moment of reflection on Africa's plight; and hopefully, on the realization that Africans, African youths can change their continent. The military that have undergone a coup in Guinea this last September 5, 2021 have just found no one else politically equipped to change the mal governance in Guinea. Why would not the youths get into politics and peacefully claim for what is theirs? Indeed they are a force that would make any bad leaders afraid. Karim Faye decided that things had to change and organized with two of his friends. They became a power within the power. Politicians joined his struggle because the people finally embraced a leader, determined enough, to face any evil that stopped change from taking roots.'Tears of the Revolution' is also the pretext for the creation of a movement we have called 'The Africanists', which is nothing but a realisation for Africans and lovers of Africa that change has to come. For the Africanists anything that can help Africa rise from its ashes is welcomed; it goes with the collection of school equipment as small as pencils, the training of youth in political sciences, the help with medical equipment etc, to boost the belief that change is possible. This way, and only this way the huge flux of African youths who die, trying to reach Europe will stop. Abdul Karim Faye decided he would be like that little bird of the story, who was flying back and forth between the big fire that was ravaging the Amazon rainforest and the river, with water on its beak. The other big animals, amazed but what they considered ridiculous, asked him about his action. The little bird answered that if all the animals of the rainforest did like him then the fire would stop.Through the publication of this book, we invite all Africans, any lovers of Africa to do something, anything to at last see change come and settle, for nobody but us can make that happen.

The Perfect Arrangement is based on a true story, which, unfortunately, did not have a happy-ever-after ending in real life. This book is written for young and middle-aged women and is a delightful read. The story follows women's lives as they become involved with wealthy, controlling men living in large cities. Likely, many women will be able to relate to portions of this story, where the exchange of beauty and youth for financial security is not really frowned upon. In fact, often, these arrangements are quite common, and they don't always end well. In The Perfect Arrangement, young Natalia puts her profile on an "arrangement" type of website. Robert, a successful businessman, responds. The relationship is not without its share of problems, but the two find ways to better communicate and relate to each other.Author Gabriela Pechova wrote this book primarily because she is passionate about writing stories. However, she also wants to convey the message that all relationships are not the same, and thus, they shouldn't be judged by the same lens. Different relationships serve different purposes. Through her words, she expresses the message that "if your relationship with someone makes you happy, it doesn't have to make sense to anybody else." We are all unique creatures with unique needs and wants. The author is more than qualified to write this novel because of her intimate knowledge of a dear friend's experiences in such an arrangement, plus the fact that she has spent the last twenty years living in Atlanta, where these arrangements are relatively commonplace.
