Book Description
A picnic sounded great, but his wife and stepchildren disagreed. So he went on his own, and soon he was joined by unwelcome creatures. Did you have a 'slow' friend? Would you exploit his weaknesses? I hope not; accidents can happen. Some people should grow up, as this short story points out. A man has a plan to take over a Thai restaurant, but that was never going to happen. He picked on the wrong people. A little girl goes missing, and her stepdad is not overly concerned; perhaps he should have been. A one-eyed teddy and dead puppies look after her.

Book Description
On August 16, 1938 in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, a tiny boy opened his mouth and cried for the first time. As Germany persecuted Jews and Orson Wells prepared for his infamous War of the Worlds radio program, Edgar Allen Moore began his life as the second of three boys in a Scottish-Irish family who nurtured an insatiable curiosity and a zest for adventure. In his entertaining memoir, Moore chronicles his journey from childhood to adulthood as he experienced variability, excitement, and satisfaction while working in five different professions. As Moore shares how he was influenced not only by the death of his mother at a young age, but also by a post-war cultural environment, he details how he managed to become successful despite living with the effects of attention deficit disorder, an then-unknown affliction that would not be diagnosed until later in life. As he narrates his adventures from college to military assignments to eventual employment, Moore provides a compelling glimpse into what it is like to look at each sunrise as a new opportunity. WOW, What a Day! shares one baby boomers narrative of what it was like to grow up amid the chaos of World War II and the subsequent years as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and embraces enriching life experiences.

Book Description
This lovely, accomplished, and wryly humorous debut picture book reminds readers not to believe everything they hear. Four animals make their way to the lake, hoping they’ll be lucky enough to catch some fish for dinner. To their dismay, they arrive at the pier at same time, and each worries the others will wreck their day—the stork thinks he’s got bad luck now that the black cat has crossed his path, the cat worries that the raccoon will steal all his fish, the raccoon fears getting too close to the frog and his warts, and the frog hopes the stork doesn’t deliver any babies on the already too-crowded pier. But as this gentle, funny, and thoroughly satisfying picture book makes clear, it’s a mistake to judge others too quickly.

Book Description
The author grew up in the Cincinnati, OH area and in Kentucky. He used to play in his grandmas barn, and would jump down on bales of hay. That was the beginning to, "let's learn to fly". It is said, "you can't teach a dog new tricks", but being so young, he tried to learn them all, tricks that is. This book is an offering of many of his accomplishments in the flying arena along with excerpts from some of the funniest statements by many of his pilot friends. You might say some are almost like short stories in themselves. So much happens during the flying period of time for a pilot. The responsibility and learning factor is huge. Most will say "it is all worth it". The book, hopefully, will bring laughter & a time to relax to all of who choose to read it. ENJOY!!

Book Description
I believe that God can enable us to run this race in life with hope and joyful expectation of our tomorrows. By the grace of God, I have learned that it is possible to be happy in spite of circumstances. My prayer is that all who read this book will find encouragement in knowing that it is not how we start that determines how we finish. But as we submit to Jesus, He will change us from the inside out. And one day when we least expect it, He will change our circumstances and allow us to truly see what a difference a day makes!

Book Description
In What a Difference a Day Makes: Women Who Conquered 1950s Music, Steve Bergsman highlights the Black female artists of the 1950s, a time that predated the chart-topping girl groups of the early 1960s. Many of the singers of this era became wildly famous and respected, and even made it into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. However, there were many others, such as Margie Day, Helen Humes, Nellie Lutcher, Jewel King, and Savannah Churchill, who made one or two great records in the 1950s and then disappeared from the scene. The era featured former jazz and blues singers, who first came to prominence in the 1940s, and others who pioneered early forms of rock ’n’ roll. In a companion volume, Bergsman has written the history of white women singers of the same era. Although song styles were parallel, the careers of Black and white female singers of the period ran in very different directions as the decade progressed. The songs of African American vocalists like Dinah Washington and Etta James were segregated to the R&B charts or covered by pop singers in the early and mid-1950s but burst into prominence in the last part of the decade and well into the 1960s. White singers, on the other hand, excelled in the early 1950s but saw their careers decline with the advent of rock music. In this volume, Bergsman takes an encyclopedic look at both the renowned and the sadly faded stars of the 1950s, placing them and their music back in the spotlight.
