Book excerpt: South Sanford needs an angel when their government is trying to be their God… Beloved bully Rahshaan Bailey is home after being wrongfully incarcerated. The welcome home he receives is warm, but there’s an expectation that he will take over work that his predecessors began. In a city that is locked behind a bridge, and forced to go under curfew because of mysterious kidnappings, people want Rahshaan to be their savior. All he wants is to find his son and to find out more about the beautiful woman who has been helping to take care of his grandmother since he went away. Shatima Thomas has got 99 problems, and her stalker is the main one. When every man who tries to get close to her disappears, she moves into the belly of the beast and awaits her payback for the lives she’s ruined. Instead, she meets a world cruel enough to blame the victims for the crimes committed against them. If only a change of power can take place and give her hope… Red Danger Days is a coming of age tale of hopelessness turned to hope, and mystery mixed with murder. It is the survival story of two lost souls hoping to redeem themselves. When the two cross paths, will they be able to unite and become the saviors their city is desperately seeking?

Download or read book Red Day written by Sandy Fussell and published by Walker Books Australia. This book was released on 2020-03-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against a backdrop of the 1944 Cowra Prisoner of War Camp breakout, this powerful story explores an important part of Australia’s past and how it informs the future. Set in a modern-day small town among the remnants of a Japanese POW camp, this is the story of Charlie. Charlie has synaesthesia and hence sees and hears differently: people have auras; days of the week are coloured; numbers and letters have attitudes. But when Charlie meets Japanese exchange student Kenichi, her senses intensify and she experiences flashbacks, nausea, and hears unfamiliar voices in her head pulling her back to the town’s violent past. This is heartfelt contemporary storytelling at its best.

Download or read book Red White and Blue Letter Days written by Matthew Dennis and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, Labor Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday, and other celebrations matter to Americans and reflect the state of American local and national politics. Commemorations of cataclysmic events and light, apparently trivial observances mirror American political and cultural life. Both reveal much about the material conditions of the United States and its citizens' identities, historical consciousness, and political attitudes. Lying dormant within these festivals is the potential for political consequence, controversy, even transformation. American political fetes remain works in progress, as Americans use historical celebrations as occasions to reinvent themselves and their nation, often with surprising results. In six engaging chapters 'assaying particular political holidays over the course of their histories, Red, White, and Blue Letter Days examines how Americans have shaped and been shaped by their calendar. Matthew Dennis explores this vast political and cultural terrain, charting how Americans defined their identities through celebration. Independence Day invited African Americans to demand the equality promised in the Declaration of Independence, for example, just as Columbus Day—celebrating the Italian, Catholic explorer—helped immigrants proclaim their legitimacy as Americans. Native Americans too could use public holidays, such as Thanksgiving or Veterans Day, to express dissent or demonstrate their claims to citizenship. Merchants and advertisers colonized the American calendar, moving in to sell their products by linking them, often tenuously, with holiday occasions or casting consumption as a patriotic act.

Book excerpt: The Great War is over, and change is in the air, in this novel that brings to life the exciting days of early British radio…and one woman who finds her voice while working alongside the brilliant women and men of the BBC. London, 1926. American-raised Maisie Musgrave is thrilled to land a job as a secretary at the upstart British Broadcasting Corporation, whose use of radio—still new, strange, and electrifying—is captivating the nation. But the hectic pace, smart young staff, and intimidating bosses only add to Maisie’s insecurity. Soon, she is seduced by the work—gaining confidence as she arranges broadcasts by the most famous writers, scientists, and politicians in Britain. She is also caught up in a growing conflict between her two bosses, John Reith, the formidable Director-General of the BBC, and Hilda Matheson, the extraordinary director of the hugely popular Talks programming, who each have very different visions of what radio should be. Under Hilda’s tutelage, Maisie discovers her talent, passion, and ambition. But when she unearths a shocking conspiracy, she and Hilda join forces to make their voices heard both on and off the air…and then face the dangerous consequences of telling the truth for a living.

Download or read book Fighting Red Cloud s Warriors True Tales Of Indian Days When The West Was Young written by E. A. Brininstool and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE winning of the West was no child’s play! It was war—war of the most brutal and inhuman type on the part of both Indians and whites. The Indian was fighting for his home, his commissary, his lands—lands ceded him through solemn treaty with the United States government—and what man, of any nation (if he is any sort of man) will not fight “for home and native land”? The white man fought to advance the cause of civilization, irrespective (in most instances) of the rights of the Indian, and without regard to his future existence. Civilization won—and to civilization’s shame, it was at the cost of unnumbered thousands of lives and the shedding of much human blood of both whites and reds. I am not a believer in the old adage that “the only good Indian is a dead Indian.” My sympathy is with the red man. The early white traders who trafficked with the Indian were, as a rule, a class of men of little conscience and few scruples, who would stoop to any deceit or trickery to rob the Indian of his furs and pelts. It was the early trader who introduced whiskey among the Indian tribes; who, through fraud and knavery, turned the red man against the whites of whatever class. This was the beginning of the hatred and contempt which made all white men, good or bad, soon look alike to the warring savage. In this volume of the “Frontier Series” I have written of a few of the most noted battles between the red man and the white man. As in the previous volume, no fiction is employed in these pages. Every incident related actually occurred, and is a part of the history of the old West. Some biographical sketches of noted frontier characters are included. The chapter on the destruction of the buffalo may well make the present-day sportsman pause and reflect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of the COVID pandemic, many of us were struggling with a thief of peace—“Anxiety.” We didn’t recognize it or know what to call it. What we did know was that we were losing hope and couldn’t find that place of peace and security. There was a sense of panic setting in. It was building and about to overtake us. This may sound like many of you today, or maybe you are simply searching for a word of comfort and encouragement. The Red-Letter Day Devotional is for you. The Word of God says we are to be anxious for nothing; the remedy is hearing from and responding to God, that our hearts/minds will be guarded, and we will find the peace we all so desperately need (Phil. 4:6). This devotional will put you on track to overcome this silent thief of peace.

These are good beginner projects, as the original stitchers were children.
