Book excerpt: In the midst of racial strife, one young man showed courage and empathy. It took forty years for the others to join him Being a student at Americus High School was the worst experience of Greg Wittkamper's life. Greg came from a nearby Christian commune, Koinonia, whose members devoutly and publicly supported racial equality. When he refused to insult and attack his school's first black students in 1964, Greg was mistreated as badly as they were: harassed and bullied and beaten. In the summer after his senior year, as racial strife in Americus -- and the nation -- reached its peak, Greg left Georgia. Forty-one years later, a dozen former classmates wrote letters to Greg, asking his forgiveness and inviting him to return for a class reunion. Their words opened a vein of painful memory and unresolved emotion, and set him on a journey that would prove healing and saddening. The Class of '65 is more than a heartbreaking story from the segregated South. It is also about four of Greg's classmates -- David Morgan, Joseph Logan, Deanie Dudley, and Celia Harvey -- who came to reconsider the attitudes they grew up with. How did they change? Why, half a lifetime later, did reaching out to the most despised boy in school matter to them? This noble book reminds us that while ordinary people may acquiesce to oppression, we all have the capacity to alter our outlook and redeem ourselves.
Download or read book Chicken 65 written by Hugh O'Neil and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich Archer is a freelance graphic designer wrapping up a digital nomad year in Thailand. When his best friend Monteblan arrives unannounced, plans change. Late night coincidences lead them to a cryptic stranger in an old Bangkok bar. He speaks of Chicken 65. Chicken 65 is a rally race running through South East Asia since the Viet Nam era. Once a year, driving duos leave Bangkok at dawn, tearing through Thailand into Laos, then veering into Viet Nam where a chicken is waiting. The team who brings the bird back to Thailand-- still alive-- takes the race. Entered into the Chicken Bible, they win free drinks in Bangkok for life, plus the legendary honor of being "Chicken". For the thrill seekers, lunatics, party animals, and petty criminals who fly in to run Chicken 65 every year, there is no higher prize. And nothing they won't do to take it. Joining the race, Rich and Monteblan are thrown into a high speed chase of tricks and double crosses, where treacherous turns hide snipers, dynamite, black magic, magic mushrooms, switchblades, switchbacks and armed revolutionaries. While bookies bet and bribed authorities turn a blind eye, Chicken 65 roars through lawless lands, showing two friends real freedom... and the real price such freedom demands. Like Fight Club meets Cannon Ball Run, Chicken 65 is a hilarious collision of mayhem and comedy, where laughter, action, and insight race through 500+ fever pitch pages. Part hallucination, part revelation, Chicken 65 is a wild, irreverent ride through the world's most exotic lands.

Her beloved grandma died last year; her parents work all the time; her brother's busy; and her best friend is into clothes, makeup, and boys. While Nina doesn't know what "her thing" is yet, it's definitely not shopping and makeup. And it's not boys, either. Though . . . has Eli, the boy next door, always been so cute? This summer, Nina decides to change things. She hatches a plan. There are sixty-five days of summer. Every day, she'll anonymously do one small but remarkable good thing for someone in her neighborhood, and find out: does doing good actually make a difference? Along the way, she discovers that her neighborhood, and her family, are full of surprises and secrets. In this bighearted, sweetly romantic novel, things may not turn out exactly as Nina expects. They might be better. Praise: Finalist for the Golden Sower Award (Nebraska) Nominated for the Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Awards Nominated for the Sunshine State Young Readers Award (Florida)
