Some people meet life head on, with a clear view of what is expected of them ¿ and what is in store for them. Others stumble forward. Father Michael is living two lives: one as a supposedly devout Catholic priest, the other breaking his vow to the church.

This colorful memoir follows Bill Heard, Ph.D. through various early and mid-life experiences throughout the American Southwest that have shaped him into the man he's become. It sheds light on his struggle to grow up and finally cross cultural boundaries and enter into the intellectual community. Many of the early happenings occurred during the Great Depression and the dust storms of the Midwest in the 1930s. It was said that, on any day, one-fourth of the American people were on the road looking for work. To that extent, this memoir is historical, as seen through the eyes of a child. Dr. Heard's storytelling is easy to get caught up in: at times humorous and other times sad, sometimes inspirational, and always interesting. He bares even the most awkward and teaching moments. His story is full of action, with a variety of life experiences with unexpected twists and turns. Dr. Heard aims to present one person's struggle to grow up and manage his life in the context of such questions as who am I, and how do I become that person? Socrates has said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Dr. Heard hopes that others reading the book will find a companion in their own unique struggle to lead an examined life.About the AuthorBill Heard, Ph.D. grew up on his grandparents' farm in West Texas, shortly before the Great Depression and the start of the Dust Bowl of the "Dirty Thirties."

Bruce Fleury's The Negro Project: Margaret Sanger's Diabolical, Duplicitous, Dangerous, Disastrous, and Deadly Plan for Black America is an in-depth and engrossing cautionary tale written by the author to serve as a warning to all Americans not to forget their history, and perform their due diligence in order to be able to see the not-so-obvious objectives behind the deeds of others. This work surrounds the author's realization of the harm Margaret Sanger and others like her brought upon the black community in the name of "women's health" through her organization, Planned Parenthood.
