Download or read book Sunset Over Belize written by Rick Byrem and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins with a scene off the coast of North Carolina in 1813 where a mystery began. From there, in present day Wyoming, two friends who have not seen each other in several years are off an excursion to cover a political meeting that Mike Hamilton’s boss has sent him to cover for the small town newspaper that he works for. At the venue, Mike meets a beautiful woman who seeks him out to share something, although the ‘something’ is pretty vague. She leaves an impression upon him, and a mysterious note, that will be hard for him to forget. A tragic event occurs that leaves Mike completely unprepared for what will come next. He shares with a television reporter what he heard and saw, but that story will only be aired once as it does not fit into the narrative of those that control such things. After being interviewed by the FBI, and told what he can and cannot say in public, he is contacted by Janice Felton, a world-renown financial icon, who invites him to her ranch in California for an interview. While there, he learns that she really is not interested in conducting an interview. Instead, she has an assignment of her own invention that she wants him to pursue. On a far-away island in the Caribbean, Leia Franklin, a woman who went to grade school with Mike, learns of his involvement with the event in Wyoming through the media attention surrounding it. While Mike is travelling to California for his interview with Janice Felton, Leia attempts to contact him. After his meeting with Janice Felton, they finally do connect, and something is kindled between them. Leaving California the following day, Mike is driving his old Volvo through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in an attempt to make a leisurely trip while deciding how to approach the assignment that Janice Felton had given him. He has no idea of where all of this will take him. Interlaced with the unfolding story in the present day, there are vignettes of other actors, both in the past and in the present, who will be converging with Mike as he embarks on the greatest adventure of his previously uneventful life to a place where he had never been before.

Book Synopsis A History of the Diocese of Charleston by : Pamela Smith - SSCM PhD
Download or read book A History of the Diocese of Charleston written by Pamela Smith - SSCM PhD and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1820, the Catholic Diocese of Charleston was established, and Bishop John England arrived from Ireland. His new diocese encompassed North and South Carolina, Georgia and, for a time, Haiti. From 1859 to 1885, when Patrick Lynch and Henry Northrop were bishops of Charleston, the diocese included the Bahama Islands. However, the history of Catholics in the diocese--which now covers all of South Carolina--began much earlier. The arrival of Spanish settlers and missionary priests dated back more than 150 years before there was a diocese on American soil. Sister Pam Smith charts the history of the diocese from the first words of prayer uttered on Santa Elena in the sixteenth century through the interfaith singing of a reformed slaveholder's hymn at a painful funeral in the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Sunset Under The Poet's Tree by : George S. J. Anderson
Download or read book Sunset Under The Poet's Tree written by George S. J. Anderson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I see and hear the ubiquitous hype and media coverage for celebrities receiving acclaim after facing their ordeals with breast cancer, I hear words like "bravery," "stamina," "devastating disease," how well they are handling the diagnosis, and how "heroically" they are getting on with their lives." Most of these same celebrities are alive and well after their diagnosis because of the work done by women like my late wife, Lois A. Anderson. Yet most people have never heard of her. If you want to read a book about real bravery, real stamina, and the power to make real changes that matter to the breast cancer story, you need to take the time to read this book. Lois came from a poor family, coming from conditions most of us would never ascend from, and made her mark upon the world. "I do not want to be forgotten," she told me after being diagnosed with stage III breast cancer at the age of thirty-nine. She lived eighteen years after that diagnosis and, in many ways, changed the world with her knowledge, support, and political advocacy. Many throw money at research in an effort to move breast cancer out of the ranks of an incurable cancer into one where most will survive it. Lois didn't have money. She didn't have the media to tell of her many battles. What she did have was a spirit of hope, which she used to battle breast cancer on all fronts. This is the story of a remarkable woman who, in spite of the odds, not only survived but also turned an ordeal that would have devastated most of us into a shining example of what one person can do even when they are facing death. "Sometimes you get the chance to change things," she often told me. In her short lifetime, even with cancer raging through her body, she took the chance and did that very thing. She not only fought her own personal battle with breast cancer but also fought the war against it. Lois pursued such an astonishing life from the moment she came into the world, overcoming many obstacles in her quest to rise above the ordinary, many conquered before breast cancer entered her life. I felt her story had to be told. She lived her short life, coming from very humble beginnings, rising from all of it, making changes she hoped would better everyone, when it ended on January 17, 2011. At the time of her death, she was considered a great breast cancer advocate known at the national level. She was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer at the age of thirty-nine, six days before her fortieth birthday, in 1992. Signs that could have cautioned her remained muted by an unsuspicious bruise she sustained from an injury several months before her fortieth birthday. In time, she was treated for the initial breast cancer and remained cancer-free for almost ten years, until cancer returned in 2001. Then when the odds seemed stacked against her, she fought the disease as a stage IV breast cancer survivor (metastatic breast cancer) from the time of that dire discovery until she died in January 2011. She lived eighteen years from the time she was diagnosed, against all prognostications allowing her only five years of survival. Over the last six months of her life, I began writing a story where I escaped the realities of losing my wife to something I had no control over. In a way, it transitioned into a metaphoric fable, a parallel story of her life. Between the lines, I allowed myself the chance to create an alternate world where the real trials Lois and I experienced on our "last road" together eventually made some sense to me in our unpredictable world. After she died, I began the long process of chronicling her amazing biography and believed I could finish the fictional one. Both stories represent a process of coming to terms with her death and a promise I made to "not let her be forgotten." I began writing her real life story in late February 2011. After I started, I found stories and journals Lois had written about herself tucked away in boxes and old folders throughout the house. Some o
Book Synopsis Subversive Habits by : Shannen Dee Williams
Download or read book Subversive Habits written by Shannen Dee Williams and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Subversive Habits, Shannen Dee Williams provides the first full history of Black Catholic nuns in the United States, hailing them as the forgotten prophets of Catholicism and democracy. Drawing on oral histories and previously sealed Church records, Williams demonstrates how master narratives of women’s religious life and Catholic commitments to racial and gender justice fundamentally change when the lives and experiences of African American nuns are taken seriously. For Black Catholic women and girls, embracing the celibate religious state constituted a radical act of resistance to white supremacy and the sexual terrorism built into chattel slavery and segregation. Williams shows how Black sisters—such as Sister Mary Antona Ebo, who was the only Black member of the inaugural delegation of Catholic sisters to travel to Selma, Alabama, and join the Black voting rights marches of 1965—were pioneering religious leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, desegregation foot soldiers, Black Power activists, and womanist theologians. In the process, Williams calls attention to Catholic women’s religious life as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segregation—and thus an important battleground in the long African American freedom struggle.
Book Synopsis Tales and Tombstones of Sunset Cemetery by : June Hadden Hobbs
Download or read book Tales and Tombstones of Sunset Cemetery written by June Hadden Hobbs and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book relates the stories and describes the memorials of the people buried in Shelby, North Carolina's historic Sunset Cemetery, a microcosm of the Southeastern United States. The authors, an academic and a journalist, detail the lives and memories of people who are buried here, from Civil War soldiers to those who created the Jim Crow South and promoted the narrative of the Lost Cause. Featured are authors W.J. Cash and Thomas Dixon, whose racist novel was the basis for The Birth of a Nation. Drawn from historical research and local memory, it includes the tales of musicians Don Gibson and Bobby "Pepper Head" London, as well as a paratrooper who died in the Battle of the Bulge and other ordinary folks who rest in the cemetery. A bigger responsibility is to give a voice to the silenced, enslaved people of color buried in unmarked graves. Cemeteries are sacred places where artistry and memory meet--to understand, we need both the tales and the tombstones.
Book Synopsis Sunset Lodge in Georgetown by : David Gregg Hodges
Download or read book Sunset Lodge in Georgetown written by David Gregg Hodges and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true, “carefully researched” story of a Depression-era brothel in a Bible Belt town that thrived for over three decades and the woman who owned it (Lee Gordon Brockington, author of Pawleys Island: A Century of History and Photographs). Hazel Weisse moved to Georgetown, South Carolina, in 1936, and opened a brothel three miles south of Front Street. Aside from objections by a few ministers, most people in town looked the other way—and the business remained open for thirty-three years, until Weisse’s retirement in 1969. She was well known, making appearances every week at the stores on Front Street—and in the newspaper as a donor to charitable causes. She sent her “sporting ladies” to town for their weekly doctor visits, banking deposits, and shopping trips. But, aware of the conservative community around her business, she did not allow her employees free access to Georgetown. She approved their choices of clothes to wear in public, warned them not to look at men on the sidewalk, and forbade soliciting. Based on research, interviews, and local lore, David Gregg Hodges attempts the unravel the history behind a place spoken of in whispers—and reveals the people and stories behind the Sunset Lodge.

Book excerpt: This is the story of two lives and a marriage that span a period of great changes in the way we live. Roses family home on a small farm in East Tennessee didnt have electricity until she was in her teens. Bill was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where his father was a steelworker, when not unemployed, who became a labor leader. Indoor plumbing was introduced to their homes when they were youngsters. Telephones, radios, and cars were novelties. They experienced and participated in improvements in medicine, technology, and communications. They also experienced upheavals in civil rights and race relations, family life patterns, and even basic values. Their story, memories, and reflections represent happy, productive, and blessed lives, in contrast to the superficial, hollow, and broken lives featured on the news every day. While this book is primarily a record of one family, it includes observations and insights about life, not particular limited to one familys experience. A life span of eighty-six years, including a marriage of sixty-five years, has seen many changes. Bill and Rose have reflected on the changes that have affected their lives and that they have seen. What changes have been for the better? Where have we gone wrong? Looking back from the distance of age gives a perspective to culture and values. Their reflections on the civil rights struggle and race relations, on the way women experience childbirth and view their roles, on changing family values, on faith, and on what is important in life are thoughtful commentaries. Reflections are recorded after each section of the book, placing the perspective of age in the context of life experience.
