Motorcycle Chums in Yellowstone Park or Lending a Helping Hand
Motorcycle Chums in Yellowstone Park or Lending a Helping Hand Review
At first Jack fancied that his chum was maintaining this rigid attitude, so that the bull might not notice him. It is a favorite scheme of a still hunter approaching a feeding deer, to keep his eye on the animal's tail. When he sees the tail give a twitch he stands perfectly still, knowing the deer is going to raise its head to look around for signs of danger, and that if he does not move a muscle, it will more than likely take him for a stump.
Freckles and Dirt Roads: Surviving Orphanage Life
Freckles and Dirt Roads: Surviving Orphanage Life Review
In the midst of the great depression, three young boys are placed in a Midwestern orphanage after their mother's death. They are immediately thrust into a deeply-entrenched and well-organized culture of violence, intimidation, fear, and total domination by the older boys. Freckles and Dirt Roads is the story of Billy, the middle of these boys, of those who abused him physically and psychologically, and of others whose love and friendship helped him ultimately to assume a more normal place in society. This is a story of a boy's survival as he gradually emerges from a life of misery and despair to one offering hope and promise. This book records the memories of twelve years of this culture through Billy's eyes. It examines the impact of loss of family at an early age, violence and its perpetuation, the destruction of a system of near-slavery, and, through common suffering, the creation of a sense of family among the younger boys.

Freckles: Webster's Timeline History, 1698 - 2007
Freckles: Webster's Timeline History, 1698 - 2007 Review
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Freckles," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Freckles in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Freckles when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Freckles, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.
Elvis and the Colonel : A Christmas Carol
Elvis and the Colonel : A Christmas Carol Review
It's Christmas Eve, 1959. The Colonel is busy in his Las Vegas office, awaiting Elvis's return from Germany. He will be out of the Army soon and is ready to take America back by storm. The Colonel has other plans. The next 17 years will be a cocktail of mostly bad movies, endless touring and beautiful women. If the Colonel had been given the power of foresight, and was able to see the past (his and Elvis') through the prism of the future, would he change course? The Colonel is visited this night by his one time business partner, Hank Snow. Hank warns him about three ghosts that will be visiting him (sound familiar). The first ghost arrives in a pink cadillac and is dressed in a gold lamee suit. The second is dressed in tight black leather, with a passion for food and guns. The third is smothered in polyester and sequins and trailed by a couple of laughing sycophants. Do the events of August 16th 1977 happen as we remember, or does Elvis play Portland, Maine that evening?

Frontier Ruby
Frontier Ruby Review
Ruby Steed will not be repressed! The cruel overseer of the orphanage cannot crush Ruby's spirits, neither can bullies nor the machinating woman who forces Ruby into the position of unpaid lowly servant. Throughout all Ruby's trials and troubles, she stands all the taller over time when others attempt to demean her. Just when Ruby feels at the end of her tether, near despairing; she sees and seizes an opened door that offers cheerful possibilities. From cold orphanage out east to a luxuriant mansion out on the western frontier, freckled redhead Ruby forges a happy path out of obscurity, neglect and abuse; discovering windows revealing light on the horizon of her future. First, a joyful teacher and then favored governess, the young beauty is quite determined to remain content to love and nurture children of others, even as a host of men begin courting her attentions. Will Ruby Steed finally say yes to the love of a near perfect man who will give her earthly angels of her own?
Red Hair and Freckles Running Barefoot through the Storm
Red Hair and Freckles Running Barefoot through the Storm Review
On August 22nd, 1996, my nine-year-old grandson's life ended abruptly on a country road in Southern Pennsylvania. He and two friends were riding bikes when a car emerged over a hill missing two of the boys but striking my grandson head-on. While spiraling downward to depths of hopelessness, the only thing with me was pen and paper. I wrote when finding myself floundering through a world I no longer understood while the cycle of life reversed. As the foundation of faith was shaken, our close-knit family began to unravel. I continued to try and write away the pain in a desperate attempt to make sense of a world I no longer wanted to be a part of. This was just the beginning of a journey through agonizing loss in many forms. It appeared we were handed much more than we could handle when another child passed before us. Our marriage started to disconnect. While sifting through the hourglass of time, this true story is filled with vivid recollections of tragedies we stumbled through, weird dreams that dominated the nights, divine interventions, and my personal spiritual journey. This story was written from my perspective during a time when life and faith were shattered into millions of fragments. These pages are filled with heartache but weaved throughout with wonderful reminiscences. Against all odds, my husband and I reunited at the place where beginnings became endings. Red hair and Freckles will captivate every heart that has suffered loss in any form, and I believe the Lord touched my heart in many ways, giving me the courage to complete this story that has no ending until the breath in me is silenced. This book is about love...about loss...about life.
Police/Community Relations
Police/Community Relations Review
Police/Community Relationsis a "Think Peace" Piece that combines a unique perspective on the history of police/community relations in the United States, the author's personal experiences that balance a deeply spiritual upbringing with the realities of the "street" and the halls of power, and lessons learned from his 25 years as a Community Relations Officer at the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Relations Service (CRS). The book represents Mr. McClure's thinking and work as a cultural analyst, negotiator and bridge builder. It can stimulate thinking and discussion in a variety of settings, including educational and training programs for law enforcement, municipal officials, lawyers; university classes; community forums; book clubs; and amongst families and neighbors or anyone interested in talking openly and honestly about race and civil rights in the U.S. and abroad.
Mr. McClure's nature-centric philosophy that "diversity is normal"- i.e. the rainbow of humanity, people of all colors, is inherent in Nature's design - undergirds his commitment to equal protection under the law, as guaranteed and legitimized by the 14th Amendment and subsequent civil rights laws. Police/Community Relationsis also contains an Appendix with examples of municipal and law enforcement policies and supporting documentation.
Coining the phrase "University of the Streets and Academia" (U-S-A) during his years with CRS, he consistently brought the "streets" and the "halls of power" together to address police/community relations conflict as well as issues arising from court-ordered school desegregation, Indian land claims, Ku Klux Klan rallies and immigration - all in order to avoid premature law enforcement solutions.
Pet Loss and Human Emotion, second edition: A Guide to Recovery
Pet Loss and Human Emotion, second edition: A Guide to Recovery Review
This updated edition of Pet Loss and Human Emotion is a step-by-step guide to leading clients through this special kind of grief. Includes resources and a section on pet loss and natural disasters.
As society accepts that grieving over the death of a loved one is not only normal, but healthy and necessary, grieving over the loss of a pet is often seen differently. Expressed feelings often go unvalidated when in truth, pet loss is a unique form of grief that can be quite intense and debilitating, increasing an individual's vulnerability to subsequent stress and leaving them feeling isolated and misunderstood.
Pet loss needs to be addressed by therapists and others in the helping professions, to better enable them to help their clients through the loss of their companion animals. This unique guide is written for all professionals helping clients deal with the loss of a pet, and serves as a practical introduction to the field of human-animal bonding. Citing several case studies, it describes various techniques for helping clients when the bond with a pet is broken.
