The narrative describes the author's diverse adventures encountered during daily life and discovery of America, and his experiences as a graduate student at an élite American University (The Rockefeller University). The account is replete with observations on the sometimes peculiar (to a European), and sometimes admirable, behavior exhibited by Americans. Paralleling impressions of Japanese, Swedish and German lifestyles round up the author's paean to New York and his decision to settle there for good.

This cold, stoic man is in the dream Mira has had for as long as she can remember. But now, her dreams are changing, and she realizes they might be memories of a long-forgotten past. Layland has found Mira again after centuries of thinking she was dead. When he talks to her, he realizes she doesn't remember him or their life together.

Will Mira be able to survive battles, lovers, and betrayal? Or will she fall to the forgotten?

God has given us abilities to quiet our storms. He has given us the authority to rebuke the winds and waves (John 14:13-14). Storms can be swift, unexpected, and overwhelming, as well as small, persistent, and annoying. Yet, every storm carries a lesson, be it large or small, we just have to be receptive to what that lesson may be. If we listen carefully, our storms and setbacks can become our opportunities, which set us up for success. Remember, not all storms come to disrupt our lives, some come to clear our paths to greater things. When we learn to take our eyes off our storms and set our sights toward the only One who can truly do anything about them, then, we will make it through the storms, or find peace during the storm. We will be able to command our storms and declare, "I'M COMING OUT". It is my hope that those reading this book find inspiration and support through the words of God while weathering our storms.

On September 17, 1862, an explosion at the Allegheny Arsenal in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, kills seventy-eight girls rolling bullet cartridges for the Union army. News of the catastrophe is buried, however, beneath the horrendous casualty reports coming out of the Battle of Antietam, fought on the very same day. Inspired by these two real-life tragedies, Consecrated Dust tells the wartime story of four young northerners - feminist, Clara Ambrose; soldier, Garrett Cameron; industrialist, Edgar Gliddon; and immigrant, Annie Burke - friends, lovers, and bitter rivals. In the teeming streets and factories of Pittsburgh, and on the battlefields of the Army of the Potomac, they struggle to survive, forced to choose between love and duty, sacrifice and greed. Their choices ultimately lead to their presence at both the Arsenal and the Antietam battlefield on that fateful September day, a day that reveals the true meaning of courage - a day not all of them will survive. "Mary Frailey Calland bridges the gap between historian and storyteller, adeptly using characters to walk the reader through the times and events in 1862 Pittsburgh where life and the consequences of war collide. Rich in historic detail, Consecrated Dust is a narrative window to the past." MICHAEL KRAUS, Curator of Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum, Pittsburgh, PA, and military consultant to the films Gettysburg and Cold Mountain."The Civil War is seared into American memory for the horrors of the battlefields, North and South. Mary Calland's Consecrated Dust brings the tragedy to the northern home front and Pittsburgh - the Arsenal of the Union - which experienced in a single day the greatest death of civilians during the four year conflict." ANDREW E. MASICH, President & CEO of the Senator John Heinz History Center, Pittsburgh, PA.

There are many ways to become successful in life. So many right and wrong paths to follow. Which did The Reverend Dr. Dorothy Blakley take in her childhood journey from the segregated dirt roads of rural Alabama to the paved city streets of St. Joseph, Missouri? Her inspirational book "Making Ends Meet: Life Lessons From Locust Street" tells of the struggles and triumphs of The Stewart Family (from largely segregated World War II Era America through the desegregated 1960's) and how it shaped the life of its middle child (Dorothy). Filled with spiritual and practical guidance that helped many "make ends meet" in tough times, the book is also an interesting history lesson on how the road to success has widened since integration and become even more accessible to many different people than before.

I don't remember what we were talking about, but my Granddaughter Kaity, her dad and I were talking about something and she said "There's always a story isn't there Bumpa." Upon reflection on that simple statement, I said, "Yes. There is." The more I thought about it, the more profound it became. There is always a story. A family story. A friend's story. A stranger's story. Just something wandering around your head. But what do we do with them. Hopefully family stories we tell the next generation so it can be passed down. Some just drift off in never, never land, maybe to be told by someone else. But those bouncing around in our heads we need to put down on paper, to share. So, for Kaity and her cousins, my five wonderful Grandchildren here are five of those bouncing around in my head stories, now out, relieving pressure and avoiding aspirin. Enjoy.

The source of this story is a cache of seven notebooks found at a remote site in the northwest high desert by a geology student. The anonymous author-the lack of attribution crucial-is finally discovered to be an autistic genius who many years earlier disappears. The student's mentor, upon retirement, seeks the source of the find and puts together this book. Essentially the notebooks are the diary of the last member of a family whose handed-down wealth allows him to circle the country for eighteen years, living on trains, in stations, and camping more or less randomly in the surrounding wilds.Prior to this, the diarist lives in a mansion, cloistered in the in-house library built by a father who has achieved some renown as a scientist. But the father has not the genius of the son. In the son's own words: "While he built the library, I put it to use."The son's publications in science journals earn him an invitation to join a university. Then things fall apart. His father commits suicide, his mother (a complex figure) is likely murdered, whereby at her funeral our subject is whisked away by a random female mourner we never get to know.That's where this diary (his journey) begins. The Man I Never Was asks: what defines identity - places, persons, events? Can its roots and causes be identified, found through exploration? Where in one's untold pages can formative triggers and trajectories be discovered, altered, erased? Seeking answers our subject travels into his past, present and future circuitously seeking (perhaps cleverly evading) an anchoring self, all the while testing if predestination is all and immutable.Movement and the strangeness of a self in alien spaces is the centrifugal force driving the novel. While the tale never slows or gets lost in detail, the reader is drawn to focus on the existential exploration of a personal reality.Sjogren began his writing life while subsistence living on Florida's Big Pine Key, fishing, gathering, embedded in and contending with existence in its most basic form. From the beginning, living through and within spaces colors and directs his literary sense, first in an old Ford, then traveling nearly a million miles on motorcycles, going repeatedly across the country and down into Central America to Panama. Finally he "settles" on charter boats sailing around the Caribbean while raising a family on a houseboat on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.The Man I Never Was is the second volume of a trilogy-The Separated Woman being the first-augmenting and redefining the form of existential expression in the modern novel.

The purpose of this book is not to coerce anyone into religion but to help strengthen your relationship or any doubts that you may have with your walk with CHRIST. Everyone has had or have their own doubts. Hoping to help you with your doubts is a book of my own true testimonies that has taken place in my life during my walk with CHRIST. Sometime GOD will remove everyone and everything completely out of our life that has handicapped us along the way. Need it be human or materialistic possessions to where we have no one to depend on but HIM so that way when HE does work, we'll know that it was no one, "BUT GOD". If that's what it takes to get our attention, then so be it.I remember at five years old making the decision to walk with CHRIST and I didn't even know what I was doing. I just know it was something that needed to be done. Fast forward many years later. The LORD placed someone in my life for whose teachings i was going to need to survive throughout this journey that i didn't even know i was on. You see, the LORD place people in our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. It's the ones that are placed there for a reason and we don't understand why they're there until they're gone. We then began to remember all the teachings along the way that has helped us throughout this journey. When the LORD knows we're too ignorant to sit still long enough to hear him speak, that's when He places certain people in our lives to get our attention and help guide us along the way. Without them we probably wouldn't have made it through. That's The LORD'S way of speaking to us through others. Without Him none of this would have transpired. I am truly grateful and honored to have been chosen to be an example to help others throughout their journey. Enjoy your read. Be blessed.

Truth tends to be more of an opinion in our current lives. If we call it, "My truth," then it must be true, right? Politely, I set my opinion aside and used content from the Bible and doctrine in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Knowing truth from the Mormon religion and from Biblical Christianity is foundationally paramount to know what is accurate or if "truth" has changed.
