Book excerpt: What Happens When You Wake Up 65 Years Late- And Are No Longer a Second-Class Citizen? In 1932, Emma Mae Brown-a young, pregnant Southern black woman-thought she was signing up for some quick cash. The task seemed simple: Go to sleep for a couple weeks as part of a government-funded research project. It was all part of a secret contingency plan designed to keep key Americans alive for an indefinite period of time without undue hardship on the body-like frogs hibernating in the mud during long drought periods. But policies shift. Projects get canceled. And what was supposed to last five weeks ended up taking 65 years. Fast forward to 1997. Some young medical students are about to discover what remains of this long-forgotten experiment in an old abandoned research facility in Los Angeles County. Their shocking finding will cause a sensation-and rewrite the rules of science. Now, a resuscitated Emma Mae Brown finds herself in a very different place at a very different time. After a long rehabilitation, she's faced with a culture and a lifestyle she knows nothing about. Then there's the challenge of raising children-fathered by a man she had met only the day before the experiment. And when her 1930s, Jim Crow-era survival skills clash with the 1990s, the government decides to get involved-and tries to take away the one thing that Emma knows she can count on...

So when an unlucky fly mistakes Frog and Toad for two frogs, the two are determined to set the record straight.

Download or read book Data Dragon Danika written by gusdefrog and published by Kathi Day. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there's never been a game like it, and they're right but… they're also wrong. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, fantasies, and maybe just a bit of stardust. But in the end, will the game be able to figure out what Danika wants most? Will the desires of other players take priority? Or, will playing it change her, until she desires what it can give her? A journey is always made up of many small steps, and this game has still only just begun.
