The 5 book episodic Way Makers series Overground, Underground, On the Water: a Journey to Freedom tells the story of three 21st century African American siblings: Eleven-year old Rheena Mackey, who is recognized by her tenacity and her thick mane of dark curly locks, and her little brother Zachary, who needs medication to help him focus his energy, and their willful older brother, 17-year-old Hoban Cruz, who has a Puerto Rican father. The three siblings are being raised by their single mom and have lived and played in Brooklyn, NY all their young lives. That is, until they are uprooted from their familiar urban life and moved by their mother, to the relatively safer rural Upstate NY Catskills Mountain home of their grandfather.Papa, as they have come to call this proud old Black man, loves his African American heritage. He alternately entertains, then bores his young family when he shares his accumulation of knowledge and his vast collection old photographs, crinkled newspaper clippings, small carvings, African drum and other artifacts, buttons, beads, stones and the like that clutter his bedroom. Among his treasures is ewe, the talking drum. Papa tells outlandish tales about Africa, of the Middle Passage, American slavery, the Underground Railroad and America's Black people's struggle for freedom and civil rights, insisting in his singsong Gullah accent: "It be a magical ting!" and "It be for troot!'At one point, Hoban, who has fair skin (because he's part Puerto Rican and part Black, ) teases his little sister when he notices that some of the individuals in Papa's collection of photographs of dirt-poor Blacks bear an uncanny resemblance to her and her their little brother.I came to this story because as a teacher in the inner city I have noticed it is often difficult for 21st Century African American children, or mixed-race children to appreciate what our ancestors have endured for us to exist in the relative comfort of modernity.One Saturday morning, in Over Ground, Underground, On the Water: a Journey to Freedom, during what seems like a typical Catskill Mountain storm .... there is rain, thunder, and lightning- Rheena and Zachary are home by themselves, - Papa has passed away, - Mom has gone to work, - Hoban has spent his Friday evening with new friends, and regrettably has not yet come home, the two MacKey children toy with ewe, the talking drum and are abruptly transported back in time and space to 1847 American, deep into life on a rice Plantation in swampy South Carolina. Not long after they arrive, their older brother Hoban follows them.The Way Makers series is historical fiction; therefore, we are introduced to actual places, events and people who indeed are America's history. For example, we discover it is Civil War photographer, Matthew Brady who took the photograph that Hoban teased his sister about. We learn of The Pearl, a schooner that secreted runaway slaves from DC to Baltimore, and of the vibrant community of Black Horsemen and women of Philadelphia that still exists to this day.In this past, the trio discover firsthand the harsh realities of plantation life. They learn of the cruel humiliation of slavery and the auction block. The children become separated, - sold off the plantation....

Michael Reid ha escrito una historia poderosa para nuestra época. Basada en los eventos de la vida-y eventualmente el escape- asombroso de Roberto Ramos en la isla de Cuba, "El cuadro" es un relato ficticio de la vida de Roberto Ramos desde el 1982 hasta el 1992. Criado bajo el régimen de Castro, Roberto aprende con el tiempo como Fidel traicionó a la Revolución. Esta es la historia de la indignación de Ramos a esta traición y el alto precio que paga por expresarlo. Los descaros de su resistencia son asombrosos y causa una trama que capta al lector en suspenso. La tensión se amontona hasta la última página, donde el suspenso finalmente se rinde al triunfo humano sobre la opresión. También hay un elemento artístico crucial a la historia. Por el camino y al momento de su escape a los Estados Unidos, Ramos es atraído a las obras de los maestros cubanos-en especial la tradición de pintura prerrevolucionaria cubana-como un desagüe para sus emociones y sus frustraciones con el gobierno de Castro, un sistema que encuentra cada vez más intolerable mientras más años pasan y su angustia aumenta. En un viaje que es aterrador, pero también un triunfo del espíritu humano, Ramos revela el poder del individuo en luchar contra un sistema político injusto. En hacerlo, él rescata su propia identidad y la herencia artística que lo define. La historia de Roberto Ramos es una historia personal cautivadora, pero el poder de este libro cae también en contarla. Reid captura los detalles de una odisea extraordinaria y los entrelaza en un drama extenso, creando una parábola para nuestra época. Es la conciencia aguda a los detalles de Reid que nos demuestra como valorar la riqueza de la vida, hasta en las luchas más crueles. El resultado es una historia para todos que atesoran la libertad . . . y la vida.

"In the name of the Jewish people I sentence you to death." This was the condemnation to top Nazi SS and Gestapo officers as each was secretly assassinated after WWII by members of the Underground Jewish Brigade from Palestine.These underground operations are only part of the action packed Voyage to The Wall, a gripping story of how the horrors of the Holocaust forced a naïve, young Jewish U.S. Army soldier from the South to a new understanding of his place in the world and the Jewish community.Stationed in Germany after the victory in Europe, Sergeant Joey Goldman, like the author, witnesses the decimation of Jews at Dachau and the results of "The Final Solution" at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. It shocks him to his core, changing him from a nonobservant Jew to becoming an ardent but secular Zionist willing to risk his military career assisting the Underground Jewish Brigade in sending weapons and refugees to Palestine despite the harsh British embargo, and he risks his life by assisting them in capturing and killing top Nazis in hiding. Joey experiences an emotional relationship with two aged, battered survivors of Dachau he helps seek refuge and safety. He also finds love with Leah, a young Polish survivor, who Joey follows to Palestine where he ends up fighting and almost dying in the battles for Israel's Independence.This important and inspiring story is based on true events including some of the actual experiences of the author who at the young age of 17 was in the U.S. 3rd Army stationed in Germany.

Light the Red Candle is about connection. The pages are filled with words channeled, and dictated, from spirits through me for you. It centers around communication through stories. It shows how you can relate others' experiences to your own if you're willing to open up to that being a possibility. So much of what we're seeking in our lives is already here. So much of what we're feeling is amplified by the deep connections to the energies around us, even if we don't realize it. The easiest feelings to connect to someone else with are those heavier ones-which were brought to you in abundance for this offering. This is because even in our own unique and personal life heavy experiences there is a commonality, a resonance, in how another can relate, in kind, to us. That gentle and tender holding and witnessing of those heavy, dark places allows us to find a special kind of connection between those who we would have otherwise not found ourselves connected to at all.

With just $700 and a pickup truck, seventeen-year-old Steve Young created a multi-million dollar company in an industry that is fraught with crooks and gangsters but is also helping save the earth from environmental disaster.Steve Young was too busy creating his multi-million dollar business, Allan Company, to spend much time thinking about his place in his or his family's history. Starting at the age of seventeen with just $700 and a pickup truck, Steve worked 14-hour days, six or seven days a week, to build his empire out of the stuff that people and industries got rid of: scrap.Before 'recycling' became the mantra of environmentalists, scrap companies were doing just that and making money in the process, buying from companies eager to get rid of their production waste and selling to those eager to put it to use. Steve had been working in and around the industry since a kid and by the time he was a junior in high school, he was savvy enough to bet that he could create a future for himself in a crazy commodity that would always be plentiful.But sooner or later money attracts a criminal element and that was the case in the scrap business, especially in California after 1986 when the California Beverage Container Recycling Program was passed. This program created the California Redemption Value (CRV), a program reimbursing consumers a fee paid when purchasing eligible plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Pretty quickly, mafia-style gangsters were taking over businesses and threatening law-abiding scrap dealers.Steve Young has seen and done it all in the over 54 years since Allan Company's inception, from being one of the first West Coast scrap companies to sell to the very competitive mills in Asia to opening, buying or partnering in over 43 scrap and scrap-related businesses. He has stared down a gun-toting Russian-Chechen gangster with his own locked and loaded 9mm Glock. He is one of the most respected men in California's and the West Coast's scrap industry, has gone head-to-head with California's Environmental Protection Agency, worked on sting operations with the California Justice Department and lunched with the FBI.And finally, at the age of 60, Steve, a long-time lover of history, decided to delve into his own family's past and weave it into his very personal story. A story that began in Scotland over 144 years ago when twenty-year-old David Herbertson Young made his way to Liverpool, England and hopped aboard a steamship bound for the United States of America to start a new life and seek his fortune.Steve Young's story is a fascinating and timely subject sure to find a wide audience with lovers of the memoir as well as those interested in recycling, the environment and business in general. And for those seeking the formula for how to make their mark and fortune in business, this is definitely a true "rags to riches" story.But more than a tutorial on the recycling industry or making a success in business, SCRAP is the personal journey of a man who believes in respecting and learning from the past, the nobility of hard work, the importance of education and the necessity of trustworthy, honorable people guiding our schools, businesses and country into the future.

Standing with his arms upraised, holding the crowd hushed and silent by the sheer power of his voice, Elijah was an awe-inspiring figure. His voice filled the clearing and rolled down the mountainside. "Hear my prayer Oh Lord!" Elijah implored. "Hear me that this people may know that thou art the Lord God and that thou hast turned their hearts back again to thee." The crash of thunder accompanying the flash of lightening jarred the whole mountainside and threw people to the ground by the sheer force of its impact. The whole altar burst into flame and the smell of burnt flesh mingled with the sharp odor characteristic of the passage of lightening. Miraculously, Elijah was not touched by the bolt, and above the moan of pure terror that swept the crowd his voice rose in an exultant shout: "The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!"
