Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remember when you were a kid and you got your first bicycle? After a few weeks of mastering the dynamics of balancing, steering, and pedaling, all at the same time hopefully, your father released his protective, steadying grip on the seat and you went wobbling off on your own. It was probably your very first taste of independence and freedom and you knew you liked that feeling very much. Few things in life have ever compared to that first solo ride. Almost 40 years after my first solo bike ride, I was able to recapture the excitement and passion of that momentous occasion when I pedaled out of Anchorage, Alaska bound for Tierra del Fuego-the very tip of South America. No matter that it was 17,500 miles distant and would take 3½ years to get there I vowed I would achieve that goal if it took the rest of my life.

Download or read book And the Meadow Lark Sang written by Margaretha Willms and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2011 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories are blessings and with this volume of memoirs, Margaretha Willms leaves a legacy of gifts for future generations. This collection of stories radiates the simplicity of a carefree childhood of growing up and changing with the seasons of life, a reminder of the repetition and rhythm of nature on the prairies and the assurance of a coming spring when the meadowlark sings once again. Deep in every family background are the ethnic and religious values of their ancestors and it is important to preserve them by passing on stories connected to the places where those values found fullness in everyday living. Margaretha writes, "A person is bound to their place of birth, to the home of their childhood, to the graves of their parents, and to customs and traditions even if only in memory" and history is a journey into that memory. In recording moments of time about living through the hardships of the Great Depression, she often finds humour in describing what seem in their proper perspective, to lend themselves to rather amusing explorations. Her story is told with candid, unflinching honesty, giving a glimpse of Mennonite social and religious traditions that made life unique. Margaretha's sensitive portrayal of country schools in which her husband taught in the 1950s revives the spirit of rural schools as the heart and soul and pulse of every community in their time. Something of the prairies survives in the melody of the meadowlark and the stories in Margaretha Willms' book are also sustained for the future, memories of the past, too full of life to be forgotten.
Download or read book Sweet Tea with My Hero written by John Bragorgos and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Their Southern Redemption Meet John McFerren, a local legend and civil rights activist in Fayette County, Tennessee, who overheard a shocking plot before Martin Luther King Jr.’s killing that’ll shock you: • McFerren, an elderly Black man, owner of a grocery store and gas pumps, befriends John Bragorgos, a white outsider with a soft heart. • Challenging Fayette County prejudiced white establishment, two colorblind men form a bond in the rural town of Somerville with deep-rooted, dark secrets. • McFerren is a savvy veteran of politics in Fayette County and coaches Bragorgos on how to survive in a tangled web of corruption, injustice, poverty, racism, and segregation. • Bragorgos helps the feisty local legend discover that his honest testimony of the King killing was downplayed and manipulated—inspiring two extraordinary men to unite and fight for justice. • The seasoned old-timer teaches Bragorgos how to play the game in the jungle of redneck hell—with roots from the Civil War. • A multilayered story with flashbacks of McFerren’s bittersweet and chilling past during the forties, fifties and sixties into the 21st century. Written from the perspective of someone who discovered a real southern gent with empathy and true grit in a bigoted county, John Bragorgos tells a story inspired by true events linked to the Civil Rights Movement. This fascinating book which praises Sweet Tea “the table wine of the South” (including recollections of America’s favorite country songs) shows the power of discrimination and humanity. A witty and warmhearted read for anyone who is suspicious about Dr. King’s killer acting alone —like the late Mr. McFerren, an unsung hero.
