Book excerpt: Long before leadership became identified as the catalyst for corporate success, the Civil War's winning general was showing the world how dynamic leadership is the crucial determinant of victory or defeat.Ulysses S. Grant never sought fame of glory, nor did he try to tie his performance to personal reward. Instead, he concentrated on contribution and service. He looked upon being given increased responsibility not as increasing his power, but as increasing his ability to get the job done. "The great thing about Grant...is his perfect correctness and persistency of purpose." (Abraham Lincoln) In this masterful retelling of Grant's story, Al Kaltman draws on Grant's writings and life experiences to present a series of practical lessons on how to get superior performance from the troops. Going beyond mere "how-to's", Cigars, Whiskey & Winning deals with character traits, core beliefs, and fundamental values to reveal the secrets to becoming a winning leader that are as much about "who to be" as "what to do". And there isn't a chart, table, or checklist in sight-just a handy index of lessons for ready inspiration on demand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the Cypress depicts how two African American sisters Jean-Marie Bensen and Sharmaine Martin find the need to forgive in order to live. As someone who has overcome battles to forgive those who have hurt her the most, Yvette Stewart knows just how important it is to forgive even when it may seem impossible or inconceivable. It is her personal struggles and triumphs that have inspired this poignant drama. Marie and Sharmaine thought after finding their mama shot dead was bad enough but their new guardian gives them fresh and deeper wounds to cover the old. Pearline Toussaint Louvier is a proud and vindictive woman born in the center of New Orleans' black upper crust. She stops at nothing and uses anyone to protect her social position and reputation. Aunt Pearl's mental and physical abuse almost sends the sisters over the edge. Terrifying her nieces is her full-time job and killing unborn babies is her part-time gig. Years later, the women pay Pearl a visit to make peace and put the past behind. She's now serving the last month of a 20-year sentence for the murder conspiracy of the girls' dearest friend. Pearl apologizes for her crimes and tells them of the dark family secret that drove her to utter lunacy. They forgive her but they will never forget. Behind the Cypress exemplifies the human spirit when it is taken to the lowest level with only a sister's love and a faith in God to foster the hope for a brighter day. REVIEWS Behind the Cypress is the captivating debut novel of the talented African-American author, wife, and mother Yvette Stewart. Jean-Marie and Sharmaine Martin are two orphaned sisters who search for acceptance. Raised in the bitter care of their mother's sister, they are confronted with abuse, incest, and murder. Jean-Marie and Sharmaine must search for hope and strength within each other in order to rise above their cruel and present circumstances.
