Legends are made from what most people thought could never be done. Someone did the impossible. Something happened that no one thought would ever happen. Sheer determination wins out over the unthinkable task. And so it is with the legend of Bucky the beaver. His story is carved in trees all over the world and passed on by father to child throughout time. His story is one of remarkable determination and willpower in spite of his handicap—his buckteeth—and the tremendous teasing from all the other beavers. He alone would set the example for all that would give an ear to the story. No one could believe that a little bucktoothed beaver could change the world for the better and set the bar so high for us all to aspire to. Never give up!

Sometime during the middle of the twentieth century, a black child is born in Rundown City, Mississippi, to rundown parents. After Diddley Squatts sixteen-year-old mother splits the scene and leaves him in the care of his grandmother, Momma Squatt, Diddley settles into a new life within her three-story hotel/brothel, the Copp-A-Squatt Inn. As he grows older and is nicknamed Young Didd, the boy is unfortunately bullied because of his unusual name and life circumstances. Luckily Diddley develops a thick skin and learns that love is better than hate, thanks to the nurturing, lessons, and mentoring provided by his grandmother and the strong ladies who, along with a goo-gaggle of inn customers that include famous musicians, soldiers on leave, and politicians, visit the brothel. While on his unique coming-of-age journey, Diddley also uncovers the mystical powers behind a magical harmonica that allow him to bond with creatures who he never imagined could become his best friends and who could somehow lead him to a new destiny. In this urban novella, a black boy growing up in the South must somehow learn to find his way in life after his mother abandons him, with help from well-meaning people.

Funeral Playlist
Author: Sarah Gorham
Publisher: Etruscan Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Using her own “funeral playlist,” Sarah Gorham examines the intricate connections between music, consolation, and human mortality. The essays in this unique collection explore a diverse range of songs, including Mozart’s “Benedictus” (The Requiem), Nina Simone’s rendition of “Black is the Color of my True Love’s Hair.” Caccini’s 17 th century madrigal “Amarilli, mia bella,” the Irish “Parting Song,” Matthew Houck’s (aka Phosphorescent) dirge-like “Be Dark Night,” and “King and Lionheart,” sung by Of Monsters and Men. But there’s also the song of a mourning dove, and the nonchalance of a human hum. All may become a medium of transcendence for the living (and, possibly, the departed). What makes the book distinctive is its deeply personal approach. A series of memoir-like interstices reveal what art and artmaking can do to unite these subjects. By sharing her own story and the music that has shaped it, Sarah Gorham invites readers to think about their own relationship with death and what they want their own funeral playlist to look like.
