Her life was shaped by the fascinating history of her time: World War I, living in southern cities, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and, in her second, 34-year military marriage, World War II, post-war Germany, the Korean Conflict, Huntsville and the space race, caring for her mother on the historic family grove, another marriage and extensive travel-both domestic and overseas.

It's a love story with a very big twist. My story is upfront, candid and very personal about my ongoing cancer journey in which I chronicled my experiences, insights, family stories, humor and candid encounters with some uncaring doctors. It's not about cancer, the disease, itself, but an inspirational story about the undying human spirit. It's the book I wanted to read while fighting breast cancer but couldn't find it in any library, bookstore or e-book. So I wrote it!

God's voice came to author Dolores Dodds in her darkest hours. As her thoughts screamed at her-You're worthless! No one wants you, and no one will love you! You're stupid and weak!-the Spirit of God pleaded with her, "Dolores, you know that I am real and that heaven and hell are real. Killing yourself won't end your pain; it will just make it worse."Dolores grew up lost, in pain, hopeless, feeling unloved, and searching for that elusive connection in all the wrong places. A product of the 1970s, she read the decade's headlines sorrowfully: God is Dead. She was part of a lost generation-the hippie era full of free love, drugs, partying, and spoiled with overabundance.Then, the Living God stepped in and poured out His spirit, and the hippies became the Jesus People. In Road of Sorrows-Life of Joy, Dolores Dodds shares her miraculous transformation from a life of sorrow to the most exciting, joyful, loved, and purpose-filled life anyone can experience. Along the way, she answers the pressing question-what happened to the Jesus People over the last fifty years? Delineating the Living God from Christianity, Road of Sorrows-Life of Joy is a testament to the power of Christ's miraculous healing power and the mighty savior's commitment to make brokenness whole and bring light and joy into darkness.

An intimate, unvarnished look at the making of the Sunday sections of The New York Times in their pre-internet heyday, back when they shaped the country's political and cultural conversation. Over 30 years, Robert Stock edited seven of those sections, innovating and troublemaking all the way - getting the paper sued for $1 million, locking horns with legendary editors Abe Rosenthal and Max Frankel, and publishing articles that sent the publisher Punch Sulzberger up the wall.On one level, his memoir tracks Stock's amazing career from his elevator job at Bonwit Teller to his accidental entry into journalism to his public relations tours deep inside the aviation and oil industries to his Times years, which included the creation of a pioneering column about issues affecting the elderly.On another level, this is a book built on stories and anecdotes, comical and deadly serious. Rod Laver challenged Stock to a tennis match. He played a clarinet duet with superstar Richard Stoltzman. A Hopi tribal chairman and a Greek archaeologist introduced him to their lost worlds. He shared a sail with music mogul Ahmet Ertegun, a Mafia-spiced brunch with Jerry Orbach, and an embarrassing moment with Jacqueline Kennedy.From Stock's early days as an air raid bicycle messenger in Bridgeport CT... to his seat at the captain's table on the SS France...to his belated sowing of wild oats at age 45...to his stopping the presses at The New York Times...his book offers a fresh perspective on a not-that-long-ago era and industry that were, in so many ways, very different from the now.Me and The Times should find favor among readers who enjoyed Carl Bernstein's Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom, and Adam Nagourney's The Times: How the Newspaper of Record Survived Scandal, Scorn, and the Transformation of Journalism.

Mama's Fireside Chronicles is a composed from author Pawnee Pleines's personal experience. The poems in this book reflect some of the communication between herself and Jesus. Throughout this book, she shares how her relationship with Jesus has grown deeper since she was a little girl.It has been written that every memoir reminds us of the faraway and long ago, of loss and change, of persons and places beyond recall. Pawnee finds that little memory of her life is as clear as she would like it to be but realizes the point of every lesson in her life returns to her memory when it is needed most. Like an old chest where we keep our precious photo albums, when we feel the need, the photos are there.Pawnee gives all the credit to Jesus, her unofficial co-author of this book.
