Book Description
"With research showing child maltreatment is substantiated for one in eight children in the US, it's clear Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), a broader category of experiences than just maltreatment, are at an epidemic scale in our society ... The authors' main thesis, quite simply, is that protecting all our children is entirely possible, but only when we know the scope of the challenges families face. The book provides a detailed, data-driven analysis of the scope of the problem and how to strengthen systems designed to protect our children"--

Book Description
For the first time, the complete stories of the Pulitzer Prize–winning master chronicler of tradition and transformation in the twentieth-century South Born and raised in Tennessee, Peter Taylor was the great chronicler of the American Upper South, capturing its gossip and secrets, its divided loyalties and morally complicated legacies in tales of pure-distilled brilliance. Now, for his centennial year, the Library of America and acclaimed short story writer Ann Beattie present an unprecedented two-volume edition of Taylor’s complete short fiction, all fifty-nine of the stories published in his lifetime in the order in which they were composed. This second volume presents thirty stories including many of his most ambitious works, among them “Dean of Men,” a monologue delivered by a middle-aged father to his long-haired son about the limits of idealism; “In the Miro District,” a parable of the Old South’s enduring persistence in the New; and “The Old Forest,” one of Taylor’s most celebrated works, the story of a young man who jeopardizes his impending marriage by consorting with a girl deemed beneath his station. Here too are all five of Taylor’s remarkable prose poems, stories in free verse that demonstrate that great fiction is, at its highest pitch, a line-by-line, image-by-image high-wire act. Two of the stories in this volume, “A Cheerful Disposition” and “The Megalopolitans,” are collected here for the first time. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Book Description
This book is mostly a collection of true stories about demonic beings frightening, torturing, and creating chaos among humans. The first reason I authored this book was because I simply enjoy this topic. Yes, I am a bit odd. I find topics that are strange, mysterious, and diabolical to be interesting. The second reason is because we are in a spiritual battle, and I find many Christians that I know seem to be almost oblivious to this fact. My hope in this book is to make you more aware of the battle going on around us and that we can and should be ready to defend and battle Satan and his demonic army. “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” Ephesians 6:12.

Book Description
Join me once more as we explore more stories of the forgotten with more tales of accidental and unexplained deaths to unsolved mysteries and forgotten murders. In this second volume of the "Stories of the Forgotten" series, I have uncovered eleven stories that had been lost to the annals of history. Travel with me to the Sacramento City Cemetery where you can visit a monument of love, or head over to the Ione Public Cemetery to learn about its most unique headstone and the sad story behind it. Learn about the tragic 1973 murders in Victor, California, where three families were destroyed by a pair of young serial killers, and then find out the true story behind the Babes in the Woods, the three little girls whose bodies were mysteriously found in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania. Then, follow me down to the historic Delta town of Locke, where you will learn the details about a tragic gambling game gone wrong. Next, we travel up to Virginia City, Nevada where I will show you by way of documented sources, the true and correct story behind Julia Bulette's life and death, including my debunking of many of the sensationalized accounts that have been spread as fact for the last several decades. While we're still in the Gold Rush era, let me share with you the over the top life of Fanny Hinkley-Mills a.k.a., Fanny Sweet, whose life was more like something out of an old dime store novel, with an endless series of scandals that followed her like a dark shadow all the way up until her death. Learn all about the peculiar case of Paul Whitice's death. Did he commit suicide? Or was it murder? Then, let's take a look at the Rancheria Murders, including the events that took place afterwards that ended the lives of many more people, including Amador County's first and only Sheriff to die in the line of duty, William Phoenix. In this book, I also take a more in depth look at the story of Anna Corbin's life and death which I have shared in my previous books and blogs. Anna's story is one that has been overly sensationalized on various paranormal programs on television over the years due to her murder taking place at the Preston School of Industry in Ione, California back in 1950. By way of further investigation and help from her family, I have put the pieces of her life & death together for a better perspective of the whole story. And lastly, learn the tragic account of Jennie Bowman, a domestic worker with a heart of gold who died defending the home of her employer during a robbery back in Louisville, Kentucky, 1867. In each case, I present to you a thoroughly researched accounting of every story. This allows you to draw your own conclusions and find out where many of their graves can be found in cemeteries within the United States.
