Book excerpt: When Professor Kurtz retired, training a dog was the last thing on her mind, but a shaggy, black scamp called Sammy entered her life one day, and her world changed. The story tells how Sammy's new owner civilized his behavior through training at a local dog club. His aptitude for rally obedience enticed her to continue. Sammy, it turned out, was a pretty good competitor, except for his barking; it was Linda who had difficulty learning the sport. They spent an agonizing year attending one trial after another, while Linda gave unclear cues, got lost in the show ring, missed stations, and almost was tossed out of the sport altogether, until she finally began to qualify and earned a fine collection of ribbons. An introverted academic, she never quite fit in with the social world of dog people. But, in the end, she and Sammy triumphed. The book covers their first three years together. Linda Farris Kurtz's career as a practicing social worker and educator spanned forty-six years from 1958 to her retirement in 2004. After retiring, she adopted Sammy, the scrappy canine subject of her memoir. She lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with Sammy and her husband, Ernest Kurtz, who is the author of several books, including The Spirituality of Imperfection, published by Bantam in 1993. Throughout their thirty-two year marriage, both Drs. Kurtz have researched and written on recovery from alcoholism and mental illness. Linda Farris Kurtz is the author of one other book, Self-help and Support Groups: A Handbook for Practitioners, published by Sage Publications in 1997.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS In this iconic memoir of his early days, Barack Obama “guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race” (The Washington Post Book World). “Quite extraordinary.”—Toni Morrison In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Praise for Dreams from My Father “Beautifully crafted . . . moving and candid . . . This book belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride’s The Color of Water and Gregory Howard Williams’s Life on the Color Line as a tale of living astride America’s racial categories.”—Scott Turow “Provocative . . . Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither.”—The New York Times Book Review “Obama’s writing is incisive yet forgiving. This is a book worth savoring.”—Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here “One of the most powerful books of self-discovery I’ve ever read, all the more so for its illuminating insights into the problems not only of race, class, and color, but of culture and ethnicity. It is also beautifully written, skillfully layered, and paced like a good novel.”—Charlayne Hunter-Gault, author of In My Place “Dreams from My Father is an exquisite, sensitive study of this wonderful young author’s journey into adulthood, his search for community and his place in it, his quest for an understanding of his roots, and his discovery of the poetry of human life. Perceptive and wise, this book will tell you something about yourself whether you are black or white.”—Marian Wright Edelman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demoralized by twenty-six loveless years in matrimony and bitter retrospect on drudgeries of the past, Craig Burton makes a sudden and dramatic decision to alter his life. Forever mysteriously drawn to the vast wilderness west of the Mississippi River and impelled by a strange longing, he plunges recklessly westward to satisfy these inner urges. Mesmerized by the exploits of Lewis an Clark, Jedediah Smith, William H. Ashley, John C. Fremont and others, this resolute and head strong man leaves the complacency of Rexburg, Ohio to follow the Oregon and Mormon Trails far from his family. Continually ignoring sage advise, Craig staggers from one brutal encounter to another, miraculously escaping each time with the accumulating feeling that he is receiving aid from an unknown force. As he wanders and explores in his fur trapping pursuits, Craig soon realizes that many trails and localities are familiar from some where in a past life. Searching for answers, he eventually meets his Mother of the Uintah' and confirms that, yes, he had been in these places before. Meeting a wandering and poverty stricken tribe of Utes, Craig quickly develops a bond of mutual respect and feeling of brotherhood with his primitive friends. A relationship that later saves his life when he is besieged by a group of marauding Arapahoes. Later, when inexorably integrated into the tribal culture of the Kwa'da Kiowa, Craig yields to tender sexual temptations with a young Shoshone slave girl only to discover the cruel penalties for such temerity, Heart broken and finding an intense dislike for himself festering within, he forms a strange but mutually beneficial alliance with an equally irresponsible, young prairie wolf. An alliance whereby each learns some facts of life from the other. Shyly returning to civilization, Craig is quickly introduced to the prejudice for appearing more savage than contemporary. Violence seems to gravitate to him in one brutal episode after another. Weary of it all and feeling unworthy of re-entering society he heads back to the one place he knows there are friends and he will feel at home, Keedskadee on the Green River in Wyoming territory. But again, in his last and only remaining haven, tragedy strikes with the loss of his two remaining side kicks and devastating news from back home. Craig Burton is crushed to his knees in abject despair. Hopelessly captivated by the grandeur and vastness of the American West and horribly alone, it is the love of a strong and caring woman who ultimately heals Craig Burtons soul and salvages a place in the wilderness for them.
