Book Description
Benjamin and Daisy were real dogs who lived with their mom in New Jersey. They were mini long-haired dachshunds who lived to be sixteen and eighteen years of age. Because of all of the funny experiences of these little ones, their mom was inspired to create the stories you are about to read. Although fictional, they contain many messages. These stories are best read just before bedtime, so the messages within each can gently sink into the subconscious and become part of the recipient's character. It is the writer's wish that many lives may be affected in a positive way. Many of the values within these stories are lacking in society today. As a result, many people have been affected negatively. With awareness, desire, practice, and persistence, a more positive environment can exist which will benefit everyone.

Book Description
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is anthologized in his book Tales of the Jazz Age. In 1860 Baltimore, Benjamin is born with the physical appearance of a 70-year-old man, already capable of speech. His father Roger invites neighborhood boys to play with him and orders him to play with children's toys, but Benjamin obeys only to please his father. At five, Benjamin is sent to kindergarten but is quickly withdrawn after he repeatedly falls asleep during child activities. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was released as a motion picture late in 2008 starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and directed by David Fincher. The screenplay differs greatly from the short story. Only the title, Benjamin's name, and most aspects of the aging process are retained in the screenplay. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s.

Book Description
A young Army Air Force recruit, a farm boy, a postal worker a young mother, a nurse and a goof off, use their unique skills to fight and win World War II. The war is fought at home and in the stormy Pacific skies. On December 7, 1941 a high school senior, Fran Perkins wakes up in his Chicago home to talk about Christmas shopping with older brothers Jim and Bob. As Fran's father, a combat veteran of World War I, turns on the large console radio to listen to music, there is an announcement the Japanese Armed Forces are bombing Pearl Harbor and World War II begins in the United States. Fran and his two brothers enlist the next day to fight the war so their younger brothers Edward and Raymond won't have to fight. This is the true story of Fran Perkins and the crew of the Daisy Mae, a B-24 Bomber flying and fighting in the skies over the Pacific Ocean. Nicknamed the Hawaiian Air Force, the 42nd Squadron, assigned with the 11th Bombardment Group (H) and other squadrons and groups of the 7th Army Air Corps, fly and fight together to win World War II. The 11th Bombardment Group, called the "Grey Geese, was almost completely wiped out during the attack on Hickam Air Field in Hawaii at the same time ships at Pearl Harbor were in flames. The group recovers, retools, and begins life again with B-24D Bombers that fly in small groups because of their limited numbers, and cover millions of miles of featureless ocean. Their mission is to protect the Hawaiian Islands from future attack, find downed aviators and crews, and lead the Bomber Line from Hawaii to Victory over Japan. Fran Perkins is fighting for his family, his airborne band of brothers and his Lady Elaine who is finishing high school at Calumet High School just down May Street from the Fran's home in nearby Washington Heights, Illinois. Fran is soon tested in a battle during basic training and on dangerous training assignments long before deploying to the Hawaiian Islands and his destiny with the "Daisy Mae." Piloted by Lt. Joe Gall, the best pilot in the Army Air Corps and the best ship called the "Daisy Mae," the crew flies and fights as brothers at 17,000 feet, culminating in their last battle together, the "Alamo in the Sky," over the Japanese Fortress on Wake Island on July 24, 1943. The "Daisy Mae" flies with many crews in the squadron because every time the B-24 Bomber lands from an eight-hour mission over long distances of featureless ocean, it refuels and takes off to fly and fight with a fresh crew. "The Daisy Mae" made up of tons of steel and aluminum, fights with a heart and soul by shielding her crew on the bombing runs and she demonstrates her unbelievable magic, sacrifice, and love for her favorite crew during her final flight. This exclusive edition takes you through the deadly training for the young men, born of the Great Depression and flying, fighting, and dying for their country and each other, during the summer of 1943. Filled with stories of adventure and sprinkled with humor, this never before told true story will fill your heart with hope and have you standing and saluting the brave warriors and their faithful families and friends, fighting World War II from back home. The adventure of heroism and hope includes many surprises that follow the flight path of the "Big Girl" called the" Daisy Mae," through time, location and history. A great read for middle school students as well as all generations who wonder what it was like to live, love and fight, during this unparalleled time in the history of the United States and the entire world. During the darkest hours of the War, Navigator Lt. Benjamin I. Weiss, delivers profound words to inspire young Fran, his fellow brothers in arms, and future generations of the hero's descendants when Ben says... "Never underestimate the power of hope."
