Love, Jan is a book of faith tested, of love expressed, and of devotion and dedication to family. The story is told in e-mails sent to family and community desiring news of a hometown girl fighting leukemia 300 miles away. Once you start reading it, you won t want to put it down. Sherrie Kvamme (Hell s Canyon Journal) What a powerful read!! It had all the elements of laughter, tears, anger, happiness, frustration above all, Hilary was a beautiful example of patience and grace. Even though she was on this earth for such a short time, I feel her impact on so many people will last many, many years.

Habits of Industry provides a richly descriptive social, historical, and cultural account of the Carolina Piedmont -- the area between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Coastal Plain -- over the course of 150 years. By examining the social and religious culture of the region, Allen Tullos illuminates the lives of the working men and women whose "habits of industry" shaped their world. Tullos combines archival research with an extensive collection of oral histories to shed new light on the essentially all-white textile industry in the era before World War II. He examines such topics as workers' transition from an agrarian folk culture to an industrial working class, the changing patterns of employers' paternalistic relations, and the contrasting and complimentary meanings of "industry." Using biographies and autobiographies of both mill owners and mill workers, Tullos juxtaposes the entrepreneurial narratives of the Belks, Hammetts, Tompkinses, Dukes, and Loves with the equally remarkable stories of such workers as Ethel Hillard, Alice and Grover Hardin, and Nigel League.

They are a typical married couple with three childrenuntil they travel together on their first vacation to the Middle East. Here, Albert has a vision of the future, a future that may see him become a very wealthy man. Though he attempts to keep his vision a secret, Jan learns of Alberts plan and becomes involved. The couple has discovered a black hole they call the Dark Stara black hole that is sucking up space as it works its way toward earth. The world, the Lankers maintain, is headed for a sudden and uncontrolled catastrophe. Albert and Jan convince their local Catholic priest, Father Anthony, that the future of the world is at stake and that they must warn the pope. They travel to the Vatican for a consultation. Although Alberts surface intentions of saving the world are benevolent, he has a much deeper motivation that will only be revealed as the crisis comes to a head.

An aristocratic young woman marries a carpenter, & ... The Morning After is a gripping Persian tale of love and marriage... The novel has been hotly debated and criticized. Advocates found it useful for the relationship between young men and women or considered it a lesson for inexperienced youth.
