Book Description
"There's a cancer, and it's killing our democracy. A poor man has to sell his soul to get elected. I cry for this country." On February 29, 2000, ninety-year-old Doris “Granny D” Haddock completed her 3,200-mile, fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. She walked through 105-degree deserts and blinding blizzards, despite arthritis and emphysema. Along her way, her remarkable speeches — rich with wisdom, love, and political insight — transformed individuals and communities and jump-started a full-blown movement. She became a national heroine. On her journey, Haddock kept a diary — tracking the progress of her walk and recalling events in her life and the insights that have given her. Granny D celebrates an exuberant life of love, activism, and adventure — from writing one-woman feminist plays in the 1930s to stopping nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village in 1960 to Haddock’s current crusade. Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown of Dublin/Peterborough, New Hampshire — Thornton Wilder’s inspirations for Grovers Croner in Out Town — a quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity and can-do attitude. Told in Doris Haddock’s distinct and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move, amuse, and inspire readers of all ages with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.

Book Description
This is a simplified version of the Bible's New Testament, intended to be read to children. The New Testament is the second division of the Christian biblical canon. It discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity. It was originally written in the Koine Greek language, at different times by various authors. While the Old Testament canon varies somewhat between different Christian denominations, the 27-book canon of the New Testament has been almost universally recognized within Christianity since at least Late Antiquity.

Book Description
When Lenore de Quincy's father gives her the key to a bank box containing a fortune in cash and then dies, she realizes she is no longer under constraints to remain unhappily married. She abandons her husband, taking her daughter, Angela, with her from a provincial town in western Pennsylvania to the bright lights of Manhattan. A PLACE TO CALL HOME is a novel inspired by true stories set against the First World War, The Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression. It centers around two well-to-do families joined by an arranged marriage. The action is seen through Angela's eyes as she struggles with the effects on her life of her parents' divorce, a thing viewed in the 1920's as scandalous and tragic. Her travels between New York City and her father's nurturing family in a coal-belt town near Pittsburgh provide humorous and nostalgic anecdotes about growing up in the America of that era. Mary Ellen Stelling was born in Pittsburgh, PA in 1915 and lived in New York, Florida, North Carolina and Texas before settling in 1946 in Atlanta. For five years a feature columnist on the Women's Page of the Atlanta CONSTITUTION, she was a member of the Georgia Poetry Society and the Poetry Society of Texas. During the 1950's and 1960's, her work appeared in poetry journals in almost every state of the Union, and most newspapers of the time which featured verse published her poems. She was the wife of a successful retail executive and a dedicated mother who did all the usual time-consuming things to support her son's activities. Behind the scenes she worked as time allowed to create a richly humorous prose document portraying her childhood experiences. Those sketches written in the 1950's totaling about a hundred pages were the seeds which inspired this book. Mrs. Stelling passed away at the age of 82 in 1998. Peter James Stelling was born in Charlotte, NC, in 1943 and has spent most of his life in Atlanta. A graduate of Washington and Lee University and Grady College of the University of Georgia, he spent four years in advertising in New York before returning home to work for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and for two different firms specializing in Group Incentive Sales Travel and Meeting Planning. One of his most memorable work experiences was serving as road manager for a traveling symphony orchestra during the early years of Robert Shaw's tenure as their Music Director. Now a contentedly retired father of two and grandfather of four, he is grateful for having had the luxury of time to complete this unique family document. He remains an active supporter of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Opera, Trinity Presbyterian Church, and serves on the Board of Governors of the Vinings Club in suburban Atlanta.

Book Description
"Uncle, your chin is so ugly ~" Uncle! Shen Mo Yuan was about to explode: Am I that old? Five years had passed just for her sake, but when she came back full of confidence, the little girl had completely forgotten about her. When he saw the little girl bravely beating up her boyfriend and her so-called best friend, Shen Mo Yuan was enchanted with her: she had not seen her for five years, but she had grown up. When she was down and out, Shen Mo Yuan had given her a big chest as a shield to counterattack the conceited man and woman beautifully. He thought that he could start a romantic confession, but Xu Wen waved him off, "Goodbye, Uncle!" Goodbye? Shen Mo Yuan's lips rose slightly, his thumb gently pressed the ring on his left hand: Since I'm back, then I won't see you again! This uncle is really annoying! Xu Wen did not understand why Shen Mo Yuan, who was neither family nor friends with him, would help him vent his anger: 'As long as I, a trash of a man, ignore her, why bother so much?' If not for the shameless big bad wolf squatting behind him, Xu Wen would never have agreed to Shen Mo Yuan's marriage. However, after getting married, she found out one thing: her uncle was a tiger, and he was just waiting for the sheep to enter the tiger's den! Ah ah ah, who will save her and chase away this hateful tiger? Pursing his lips into a smile, Shen Mo Yuan sneakily whispered into Xu Wen's ear, "Little fat sheep, you can't get away anymore!"

Book Description
Reflections is a compendium of stories that mark my journey from a one-bedroom, wooden house on the petite Caribbean island of Grenada to historic Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.—the capital of the United States of America—as a senior diplomat. The book draws on the many experiences I have had over the past twenty-seven years in diplomacy and recounts stories that would inspire people to discover their voice and find purpose in a life of service. The truism is that everyone has a story to tell, but being bold enough to tell that story is a surefire way of leaving a legacy and putting a book on the bookshelf. The stories are of struggles, resilience, and giving back through advocacy and mentorship. Reflections takes you along a meandering path, revealing lessons on finding perspective, being persistent and consistent, building self-confidence and resiliency, and trusting the process.
