Bernard knows all about these dreams and so does his wife Alice. Can such dreams come true? How many times have they heard the words, "Live in hope, die in despair." His son Bubba says the south, "be a death place" and Bernard knows it's true. But, how can he take his family to the cold, cold north.

Download or read book To Catch a Fish written by Mary S. Palmer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Davey Simpson, a fisherman, is charged with the murder of a powerful Alabama politician's son. His childhood friend, Ben Johnson, is well-qualified to act as his attorney, but Ben would have to resign as the first black lieutenant governor of Alabama to take the case. Davey does not want Ben to make such a sacrifice. While in the Mobile County Jail awaiting trial, Davey has a unique method of surviving confinement. Since he can't endure living in the present, he lives in the past, recalling memories of his two childhood friends --his lost love, Pokey, and his best friend, Ben. Even though those memories are also a reminder that Ben and Pokey both moved away from Mobile, they allow Davey to escape the unbearable loneliness of incarceration. Years before, when Ben was shunned and mistreated because of his race, Davey stood up for him. Now, despite Davey's protests, Ben insists on representing Davey. Though they had been separated by time and space, loyalty prevails. However, it is Davey's plight that causes childhood friends to reunite and renew their relationships. Unexpected twists reveal the many complications involved in the case and in Davey's personal life as well. This book was awarded Second Place in the Sandhill Writer's Conference for Novels in 2009.

Book excerpt: "Damn, it's been a long time coming. But it's finally here," Pokey said to no one in particular, as the day arrived for him to be released from the prison that held him hostage against his own will for the last eighteen months, day by day, as he walked out the open gates. He was blinded by the bright sun. Reaching up to cover his eyes, he heard a horn blowing. Looking around for the sound of the horn, he spotted his mother's beat-up Honda. As he watched his mother get out of the car and slowly walk toward him, Pokey had one thing in mind. "Man, I gotta make sum Major Doe," he was thinking, as his mother reached out and gave him a hug. "Thanks, Mom. Glad I didn't have to ride that stank-ass bus all the way home," he told his mother, who just smiled as she turned around and made her way back to the car, with Pokey on her heels. "I don't know what you coming on this side for," his mother said, pushing him over to the driver's side. "You driving," she said. "I gotta get some beauty sleep," she said, sliding in the car. On the ride home, it was quiet, with Pokey in his own thoughts. As he was listening to his mother snore lightly, he promised, "Momma, I'mma make shit happen." Being in prison, Pokey learned a lot, but he also learned that if you want something bad enough, you gotta go get it. With that in mind and the words Old School used to tell him all the time. "Young blood, you gotta be ruthless in the game of life. Sometimes you will be forced to bite the hands that feed you, so always keep in mind game ain't based on sympathy. If a motherfucker wanna get in your way, don't hesitate to roll over them, and leave them where they lay." As he was in deep thought, his mother brought him back to the here and now. "So, boy, now that you free, what you gonna do to stay free?" his mother asked, turning in her seat to face him. "Whatever I gotta do," Pokey said, keeping it real. "So you gonna get a job?" his mother asked. "Never, Mom. You know me. I ain't working no nine-to-five for no minimum wage so that working shit is dead," he said. While driving, as he looked out the corner of his eye, he saw his mother shake her head, as she closed her eyes and stopped talking. But he went back to thinking. "Damn shit crazy, when ya own momma trying to keep you down, she on some get a job' shit, but I'mma live and die in the streets." As he pulled up in the projects, where they stayed, he noticed nothing has changed, but changes were about to take place, if he had something to do with it. "My thing is, to be paid and get my game sharper than a motherfucking razor blade." As he pulled up and parked, he said, "Ma, we here." Waking up, all his mother did was look at him, then exit the car. As Pokey watched his mother enter the house, he said, "This the shit I'm talking about, a nigga been gone eighteen months, leave with nothing and come home with nothing, so it's time I make something." Looking around, shaking his head at all the dirty buildings that held this project together, his last thought was, "Now I gotta get some soldiers on my team and make this picture come to life," as he looked around one more time before walking into the house. He mumbled, "GABOS, this time around, that's how it's gonna be. Niggaz showed no love, they receive none." With that being said, he walked into the house ready to take a nice long shower before he could formulate his next move, not forgetting his next move better be his best move 'cause GABOS.

Download or read book Boise State of Mind written by Joel Gunderson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of under-the-radar success, the Boise State Broncos became a household name during the 2006-07 NCAA football season. That was when the 12–0 Broncos were set to face the 11–2 Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl. A David vs. Goliath event, everyone expected the Sooners, who played in the highly competitive Big 12 conference and had dominated since coach Bob Stoops took over in 1999, to beat the no-names from the Western Athletic Conference. The match-up would end up becoming one of the greatest college football games ever played, with Boise State beating Oklahoma, 43–42, on a trick-play two-point conversion to win in overtime. But where did it all start? How did a school in Idaho become one of the most successful and polarizing schools in the country? In Boise State, writer Joel Gunderson tells the story of how the school went from a junior college to Division I, climbing the ranks and building a program that has since beaten such college football powerhouses as Oregon, Georgia, Virginia Tech, and Oklahoma, and has the highest winning percentage in the country since 2000. With in-depth interviews with current and former players, coaches, and administration, Gunderson offers an entertaining story of the growth of a program that rose from anonymity to becoming arguably the most successful underdog in the country. While the city of Boise in Idaho has a population of approximately 223,000 people, the state, in general, is not a sports powerhouse. The closest NFL team is the Seattle Seahawks, who are a 7.5-hour drive away. There are currently only six players in the NFL that were born in Idaho. So how did Boise State, known mostly for its blue turf, become known for football excellence? This is more than a Cinderella story. It’s about how they arrived, how they conquered, and how they’ve maintained in the cut-throat business that is college football.
Download or read book The Compassionate Carnivore written by Catherine Friend and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of her life, Catherine Friend was a carnivore who preferred not to consider where the meat on her plate came from--beef didn't have a face, chicken didn't have a personality, and pork certainly shouldn't have feelings. But Friend's attitude began to change after she and her partner bought a farm and began raising sheep for meat. Friend's ensuing odyssey through the world of livestock and farming is a journey that offers critical insights--for omnivores and herbivores alike--into how our meat is raised, how we buy it and from whom, and why change is desirable and possible. From a distressing lesson about her favorite Minnesota State Fair food (pork-chop-on-a-stick) to the surprising gratitude that came from eating an animal she'd raised and loved, Friend takes us on a wild and woolly ride through her small farm (with several brief detours into life on factory farms), along the way raising questions such as: What are the differences between factory, conventional, sustainable, and organic farms, and more importantly, why do we need to understand those differences? What do all those labels -- from organic to local to grass fed and pasture raised -- really mean? If you're buying from a small farmer, what are the key questions to ask? How do you find that small farmer, and what's the best way to help her help you? In the same witty and warm style that characterized her memoir Hit by a Farm,Friend uses her perspective as a sustainable farmer and carnivore to consider meat animals' quality of life--while still supporting the choice to eat meat. Regardless of whether you eat meat once a day, once a week, or once a year, your perspective of what goes on your plate--and in your mouth--will never be the same.
