Pages : 128
Book Description
The product of an affair, Maria Balais’s entrance into the world was kept a secret from her birth family. After she was adopted by a Filipino couple, Maria acquired the nickname, Pinky, and eventually immigrated to the United States with her new family. In a colorful memoir, Maria chronicles her life from her adoption to the present day through stories that describe her upbringing in two worlds—the South Pacific and the Southeastern United States—as well as the people who impacted her life along the way. Her anecdotes not only reveal moments filled with deep sadness, but also the amusing, celebratory, and joyous moments as she learned to embrace her bi-cultural existence, accept her uniqueness and identity, and ultimately carve a path to attain professional and personal success through perseverance, grit, and a dogged determination to always be the best version of herself. Pinky is the unforgettable true story of a Filipino immigrant as she journeyed from the Philippines to the United States and created a life for herself.

Book Description
With Renegade Pinky, author Andy Weatherwax takes us on an honest and intimate journey from the pain and isolation that accompanied his diagnosis with early onset Parkinsons disease to the profound understanding of his illness as a gift. While his poems are informed by the fear and suffering he experiences as the disease progresses they are laced with wit and joy as he explores the new quirks in his life. This collection of poetry presents his unique insights into the disease and how it affects him. Through this heartfelt collection, Weatherwax offers a keen understanding of the challenges he faces each day with humor and more than a little irony. * * * The individual poems in Renegade Pinky are extraordinary. As a collection, the impact is breathtaking. These poems are informed by pain, uncertainty and loss; but even as we are brought to profound intimacy with these things, we as well accompany a poet possessing great good humor, an ironic take on life and exquisite sensitivity to the revelations of nature, music, love and everyday realities. I dare you to read these poems and not be changed. Alexandrina Sergio, author of My Daughter is a Drummer in a Rock n Roll Band

Book Description
Pinky, A Memoir of WWII, is the first of four volumes about a young man who couldn't wait to join the U. S. Navy and go to the Pacific. In this volume T. J. Thiggens is sixteen when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. He agrees with his mother to complete the school year 1942-1943 if she will sign his enlistment papers. He goes through boot camp at Farragut, Idaho, and is transferred to Shoemaker, California, to await orders to ship overseas. On his eighteenth birthday he boards the SS Eugene Skinner for the South Pacific; and after 23 days he arrived in New Caledonia. There he attends a Fleet Radio School, works for a time at the COMSOPAC Service Squadron; and, after almost a year on this island, he finally gets a transfer to a wooden subchaser, which is headed north into the War Zone. There are five subchasers in Noumea Harbor being converted to LCC's (landing craft, communications); and because they each have a Walt Disney cartoon character painted on their bridges, they are nicknamed "MacArthur's Donald Duck Navy". This part of the story about five wooden subchasers ends just as T. J. becomes the 'second' radio on the USS SC-995.

In book one of Love by the Yard: In Chicago they say Speed Kills, or at least they have for the last seven years since the handsome running back, Jerome Speed, led the Chicago Grizzlies to divisional and conference championships. Danika Albright’s privileged upbringing has most people believing she wants for nothing. As the daughter of a self-made billionaire she shouldn’t, but her father never wanted his children to be spoiled and demanded they make their own way with little to no help from him. While working her way through school as a stylist, she crosses paths with a local football star with his own issues. The pair work to keep their desires from molding their relationship, but when a paternity case tackles the star and the woman wants more than money, the relationship takes a hit. Can Danika and Jerome look past what they know and take the time to discover what really happens when you fall in love with a person—one who wants you and not just your name? Two people—two different backgrounds—one goal—to learn to love one yard at a time.
