She is struggling to survive on her own and care for her young son in the wilderness along the Ohio river. Joining a new community in Washington County, she meets militia leader Jeremiah Stewart. Jeremiah can relate to her pain and grief; but he hasn't given up on God. His faith, though, will be pressed to the limit when his group is called upon to eradicate a band of "Praying" Indians who are blamed for recent attacks on settlers. Will Sarah risk talking about her past and admitting what she knows about these Indians? Can Jeremiah help her understand that she can trust God for her welfare and happiness--and for bringing healing to her heart?

Book BURIED ALIVE BEHIND PRISON WALLS

Download or read book BURIED ALIVE BEHIND PRISON WALLS written by Thomas S. Gaines and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: “BURIED ALIVE BEHIND PRISON WALLS” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. William Walker was an African American man who was sold again and again to different slave owners and had to flee to Canada to realise his dreams of freedom. But little did he know that his dreams were soon to be shattered and that too ironically after his emancipation. His search for job took him to the dreaded South and on an unfateful day his white neighbour's wife came running to his house to seek shelter from her abusive husband. What followed then was nothing less than a Hollywood film script! A must read for everyone who is interested in how Southern discriminatory laws buried African Americans behind prison walls to muffle their voices and protests… Thomas S. Gaines – nothing is known about this author but it is widely conjectured it is an assumed identity to expose the despicable state of Jackson State prison and bring back William Walker's tragic story from the oblivion.

Book excerpt: Veils of the Morning is the final book in the trilogy depicting the lives of Brigid, Rosie, and Babs, three women born on the same day in 1950 who became life-long friends. Now in their seventies, the women return to the Cleveland, Ohio area where they face a changing world, and the slings and arrows of old age. As they have throughout their lives, the women rely on faith, family, and friendship to live out their remaining years with strength and dignity, facing the inevitable deaths of loved ones and treasured traditions, while passing the torch of their legacies to new generations. Yearning to search for their matriarchal roots, their story takes them to Italy, Auschwitz, and Ireland, finding closure in the whispers of their great-grandmothers’ spirits. Personal and professional triumphs land them in the Office of the President of the United States, where a twist of history provides a visionary future. Their final chapter ends with a toast that leads the way to where “peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning.”

  • ISBN : 0595485863
  • Pages : 247 pages

Download or read book A White Man s War written by George L. Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A White Man's War propels the reader on a journey of grit and determination by volunteer aviators who flew in the two skies of World War II: one white and the other black. Captain Jeremiah Jackson of the 332nd fighter squadron and his fellow black officers suffered the most egregious and despicable racial aspersions from the white military, but continued to fulfill their commitment to their country and, more importantly, to themselves. The Tuskegee Airmen were shunned and ridiculed by the Chiefs of Staff as being unworthy of training in the complex aircraft of Army Air Force. After proving their flying ability and courage, the group was still refused admission to the white officers' facilities. Ride along in the bloody skies of Europe as Jackson and his comrades fight two opponents: the German Luftwaffe and the white military establishment. With at least a chance of success with the former, the latter will still prove elusive. An effort to probe the minds of black men whose only desire was to serve their country and prove their self-worth is a journey worth taking. Captain Jackson is about to embark on the most important bomber support mission of his life . . .
