Book Description
I love to write, so some times, I’ll write my thoughts and then turn them into a poem. Most of what is in my book was inspired by family and friends around me. I started writing some of my first poems during a time when one of husband’s family members was diagnosed with Cancer. Because life is not perfect for anyone; no one is exempt from heartache, or loss. But, on the other hand, Life can also bring joy, such as the birth of a new baby in the family, or a job promotion. Life is interesting and teaches us all lessons. What we learn in our lives can be useful to guide generations after us. We gain wisdom and share it.

Book Description
The Golden Warrior and the bravest man I ever knew. When Dave and I fought together, no matter how severe the action, he would put his hand on my shoulder, and it gave me a calming effect. He was as fi erce in battle as he was gentle in friendship. Charles E. Eckman, 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles Holtwood, Pennsylvania I remember David as a kind, soft-spoken man and was intrigued that he was also Colonel Michaelis radio operator. All of these men were larger than life! Little is known about Michealis because he was in command of the 502nd for such a short, yet important, time. Peter J. K. Hendrikx, author of Orange is the Color of the Day Pictorial history of the 101st Airborne Liberation of Holland www.heroesatmargraten.com Madame Rolle, owner of Chateau Rollea castle located in Champs outside of Bastogne, Belgium, and was designated as the headquarter command post for the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment when she was a young girlremembered our father operating his radio in her foyer, and said, He was a nice young fellow who kept talking to someone named Roger. Madame Rolle This collection of letters, written by a young 101st Airborne paratrooper soldier to his sweetheart from 1943-1945, is so personal and matter-offact that I almost forgot that David Clinton Tharp was only one of millions of heroes made by World War II. David Tharp certainly deserves a book like this in his honor, and it deserves to be read and praised. It is a mustread for every American, and especially for veterans of war. Palmetto Review

Willy and Richard

Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098023544
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
"A Football Miracle" is about a very gifted college senior quarterback, Willy Bateman, who has his sights on turning pro and following in his father's footsteps. However, Willy's younger brother, Richard, nineteen, is one of his teammates often criticized for his lack of effort and passion for the sport. Playing for the national championship, the biggest game of his life, Willy's sure touchdown pass on the last play of the game slips through Richard's fingers, costing them the title. Several nights later, while driving home from a party on a brutal winter's night, the boys get into an argument with Richard getting physical and causing Willy to lose control of their vehicle. While Willy's nonthrowing arm is severed from his body, the accident leaves Richard paralyzed. The brothers bitterly blame each other. In conclusion, "A Football Miracle" is about love, forgiveness, and perseverance. "The Night Chicago Died Laughing" is about a beautiful, talented twenty-one-year-old singer, Ginger Charmer, who was raised by her very loving and eccentric grandfather, once in vaudeville. Upon inheriting her great uncle's old, run-down saloon in Chicago, Ginger convinces her grandfather to move from their comfortable home in Buffalo in order to fulfill her dream of running her own nightclub. When they arrive, Ginger meets her struggling, unemployed dancer boyfriend, Charleston Charlie, who suggests she borrow from the town's most feared gangster, Doug the Thug, after telling him she didn't have enough money for the renovations. Barely tall as a yardstick that fuels him into being a bully, Ginger eventually learns Doug's bark is worse than his bite. But he becomes frustrated with Ginger when she makes little effort in paying him back because she's always buying new clothes, refusing to wear the same thing more than once. In spite him kidnapping her (she gets away), forgiving Ginger invites Doug into her home after the notorious Al Capone breaks out of prison and runs him out of town. Along with Ginger's and her grandfather's help, they send Capone and his goons running. While it's Ginger's compassion and understanding that transform Doug into a kinder person, she realizes she needs to be less materialistic and more responsible with her own debts.

Book Description
Since my second book, " Words of Serenity", so much has happened. We became Great-Grand Parents in December 2010 and Grand-Parents, (#16), two months later, both babies from the same family! Our babies, babies are having babies. Also, I have been hospitalized a couple of times, both somewhat major surgeries, plus more surgeries to be done on my eyes during this summer (2011). So I hope that you will all keep me in your prayers, as you are in mine. As you peruse this book, you will see a "story" titled Pepper & Lucky were #'s 14 and 15 of animals we have lost. We have 2 cats left, Blaze, aka Killer, and Kitty Duval, aka Miss Kitty, both strays that we took in. They will probably be the last. It just hurts too much when you lose them, after all, they are like our children too!! In closing, I hope you enjoy this book. It will probably be my last, ( the old peepers 'ain't' what they used to be). It is also my prayer that these "Words From My Heart" will, in some way, comfort you, make you laugh, or maybe cry, but in the end, ease your pain in some small way. It has eased my pain to be able to write them, with God's help, for your enjoyment.
