This is my life's story presented to you on the pages of this book. I believe this book will help someone who is about to quit, or maybe help you to realize that you can make it in spite of circumstances. I would like to encourage that young parent who is raising a family alone or you may even be married. Whatever the case may be, life experiences and challenges can be hard. I made it through hard times as a young girl living in the south, working in the fields and picking cotton. I had no education, but I was determined not to allow the lack of education to stop me from being successful.
What do you classify as a miracle? I hope you will know that my book is about the miracles I have experienced--unbelievable ones. Yes, it is hard for me to believe it, but I believe it's because it happened to me. My prayer is that you will know that Jesus still works miracles. I am a walking miracle. I hear I do not look like what I have been through. Praise God. (I want God to get the glory from my story.) I have had a lot of tests, trials, and tribulations in my seventy-one years of life. But in order to have a testimony, you need to have a test. God knows I have had test after test. I do have a testimony--I am still here in spite of the death sentences that were on me (not twice, but three times) (but God). Everybody goes through things, but some are not death sentences like mine were. I will never give up and I can't give in. Never will I turn back. No, no, no. God has been too good to me. I want to share my story because hopefully it will help someone along the way. They could say, "If she made it through, I, too, can." I know God wants me to share this story. Hopefully it will inspire you. When I was going through my test, I was never afraid, although it could have been the end of my life, I am so grateful it wasn't. I stuck to God's Word, kept repeating them to myself over and over. God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love, power, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). He also said in his Word, "Fear not for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). I also repeated Psalm 23:4 often, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." So many scriptures kept me looking unto the hills from which cometh my help because I knew my help came from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. This scripture would enter my thought process really often. And as Psalm 118:17 says, "I shall live and not die and proclaim God's glory and what the Lord has done" to give me this marvelous testimony. If you are going through something, be encouraged and know that God is faithful, and he takes care of his own.

Letters From The Trenches tells the moving story of a brave, selfless and honourable man who endured everything that the war could throw at him, and still came up smiling.
Teenage Shooters is about Freddy Louche's world. Who is Freddy Louche? If you asked him he would tell you that he is an all-American teenage loser who lives in a neighborhood populated by gangbangers and bullies. He hates school because the classes are boring and many of the students are intimidators. But there are three things Freddy loves: his skateboard, his video games, and his father.His skateboard is a Serial Killer which sports an image of Charles Manson. In a strange way Freddy never feels alone when he is riding Manson, who is also his protector, at least until that fateful night when Freddy's life begins to rapidly unravel.Resident Evil is Freddy's favorite video games because in the world of survival horror he can defend himself against the zombies and other monsters that remind him of the cretin bullies who hang out in the corridors of his school and the thugs that roam the streets of his city, a city that is in many ways like Raccoon City, which was also an all-American city until the walking dead and other beasties took control of its streets.Freddy's father is the one adult Freddy can always depend upon. Unfortunately, Mr. Louche, like the school authorities and the police, cannot protect his son from the thugs and bullies who constantly harass him. Thus, a time finally comes when Freddy and his loser friends must take on their tormentors.
“A man is the sum of his misfortunes.” —William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury William Faulkner’s provocative and enigmatic 1929 novel, The Sound and the Fury, is widely acknowledged as one of the most important English-language novels of the twentieth century. This revised and expanded Norton Critical Edition builds on the strengths of its predecessors while focusing new attention on both the novel’s contemporary reception and its rich cultural and historical contexts. The text for the Third Edition is again that of the corrected text scrupulously prepared by Noel Polk, whose textual note precedes the novel. David Minter’s annotations, designed to assist readers with obscure words and allusions, have been retained. “Contemporary Reception,” new to the Third Edition, considers the broad range of reactions to Faulkner’s extraordinary novel on publication. Michael Gorra’s headnote sets the stage for assessments by Evelyn Scott, Henry Nash Smith, Clifton P. Fadiman, Dudley Fitts, Richard Hughes, and Edward Crickmay. New materials by Faulkner (“The Writer and His Work”) include letters to Malcolm Cowley about The Portable Faulkner and Faulkner’s Nobel Prize for Literature address. “Cultural and Historical Contexts” begins with Michael Gorra’s insightful headnote, which is followed by seven seminal considerations—five of them new to the Third Edition—of southern history, literature, and memory. Together, these works—by C. Vann Woodward, Richard H. King, Richard Gray, William Alexander Percy, Lillian Smith, William James, and Henri Bergson—provide readers with important contexts for understanding the novel. “Criticism” represents eighty-five years of scholarly engagement with The Sound and the Fury. New to the Third Edition are essays by Eric Sundquist, Noel Polk, Doreen Fowler, Richard Godden, Stacy Burton, and Maria Truchan-Tataryn. A Chronology of Faulkner’s life and work is newly included along with an updated Selected Bibliography.
Letters to Tobitha is comprised of correspondence from a soldier in the 104th Illinois Infantry telling the personal record of the battles of this unit during the years of 1862 to their final march through the streets of Washington DC in 1864. These letters speak of the harsh living conditions and survival strategies of those involved.
