Book excerpt: Author Lee Lancaster retraces the movement of a remarkable time in our nation's agricultural history. In 1976, America sent a peanut farmer from Plains to Washington, D.C. Farmers throughout the nation, especially in Georgia, had high hopes for President Jimmy Carter, but those dreams vanished when he seemingly disregarded their problems--historic drought and embarrassing commodity prices. Peach State farmers took to the streets, slow rolling a tractorcade on I-75 toward Atlanta. The result was the largest ever farmer-led demonstration in the United States. The farmers pledged not to sell, plant or buy anything until "100% parity" was obtained. The farmers eventually steered their tractorcade to D.C., trying to prevent the foreclosure of dozens of farms with help from an armed group in Middle Georgia and a real estate tycoon from New York who would become the forty-fifth president.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the political upheaval of the 1960s, a Catholic feminist remembers how her romantic relationship with a priest inspired them both to take responsibility for their own life choices. Beneath its seemingly scandalous surface, Flavia Alaya's life story goes to the heart of women's struggles for independence, self-definition, and sexual agency. A radiant but sheltered Italian-American woman on a Fulbright in Italy, Flavia was twenty-two years old when she met Father Harry Browne. When the attraction that began in a cafe in Perugia grew too compelling to resist, they embarked on a relationship that violated one of the most powerful taboos of the Church and of society, yet endured for over two decades.

By night, they were subsumed in a relationship carried out, even through the birth of their three children, in absolute secrecy—sub rosa, or "under the rose."
