If you want to read a story about ethnic minority first generation immigrant struggles of trying to make it in America - or want to peer into the life of others, this story is for you. I always seek to provoke feelings with the reader or to inspire.

When Lynne Ashdown, her new lover, and more than fifty Italian male cyclists departed Italy in June of 1990, no one had yet ventured into the Long-closed reaches of Eastern Europe since the falling of the Iron Curtain more than forty years before. They would be cycling almost a thousand miles from Verona, across Northern Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland to Warsaw, in just ten days.

Pam first married at 18, then again in her 20s, her 30s, and her 40s. She reveals that her many treks ”down the aisle” were part of a ”long and winding road” that, each time, led eventually from the altar to the divorce court. Why has Pam decided to disclose these very personal aspects of her life?

'Hitting Fear Head On’ is a powerful, chilling, true story of child abuse and neglect, the illness of alcoholism spanning generations, years of infertility issues, all culminating in a miracle child that is called back home to Heaven at the age of eight. Ironically, he along with 4 others, are killed in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. His parents, broken in body and spirit, survive, and are guided daily with his presence from heaven. –Linda Warrick, Editor "Laurie Boggs has been

Over the next fourteen years, the children are split up and reunited multiple times, moving from foster home to foster home, always hoping to find one another again.

On my twelfth birthday, I was in a roll-over car crash with my mom. We rolled four times, and the outside of the car ended up looking like an old, beat-up tin can. We were taken to the hospital, where we were x-rayed and then sent home. It is an experience that is burned into my mind forever.

In this memoir, the author explores questions of race, adoption, and identity, not as the professor of cultural studies she became, but as the Black child of German settlers in Guatemala. Her journey into the mystery that shrouded her early years begins in the US when she realized it was not just her foreign accent that alienated her from Blacks. Under layers of privilege (private schools, international travel, the life of a fashion model and actress in Europe) she discovered that her most
