All the church is called to be co-laborers with God in the field of the world. The objective of these courses is to provide the foundational tools that will root and ground the believer in his faith and equip him for his work in the Last Harvest. It is not meant to be an exhaustive, comprehensive study but discipleship in the basic tenets of the Christian faith. (Most of the above is an excerpt from the introduction)

My mother, Josephine Taglialavora, was the inspiration for this book. She was born on March 27, 1942, into a working class, Italian Family. In those days, large family gatherings would take place on a weekly basis and, being Italian, those gatherings put a major focus on food, food... and more food. Josephine would watch her mother, Rosalie LaVora, cook large meals for her family and quickly caught on to creative ways to cook and use spices and herbs. As a mother, Josephine lived a hectic life raising five children, all while running a company she built from the ground up. She didn't cook family dinners every night because she simply did not have time. However, on many occasions, she would host family dinners and cook dishes such as pasta and meatballs, Sicilian steak, salad, and fresh bread. In her later years, Josephine watched her marriage dissolve and cooking became a refuge. My mother was inventive and creative in her later years when she found herself again through cooking. My mother and I began discussing making a cookbook to share our joy cooking and our family's recipes with the world. We began talking about what recipes we should put in the book and how we wanted the book look. My mother suggested "Bella Mangiare" as the title of the book and I loved it! My world was turned upside down when I received a call from my son telling my mother was ill and was being rushed to the hospital. Ten days later, she was gone. As I sat by her bedside, never leaving her room, she told me to finish the cookbook we started, and that is just what I did. After three years, I realized it was time to stop mourning and start celebrating her life. I present to you a commemoration of my mother and the book to celebrate our passion for cooking...

Not again. It's taken Andy Maxwell two years-1908-1910-to recover from the vendetta that nearly killed his mother, burned their Sierra Nevada ranch house, and exhumed some family secrets-including that his father was black. At last Andy thinks he can return to the University of California to finish his PhD. Not so. First, the PhD. program doesn't want a miscegenated mongrel like him. Eminent San Francisco journalist, Ambrose Bierce agrees to help with that problem, but Michael Yellow Squirrel, who started all the trouble, is back and still wants eliminate every Maxwell on earth. No time for school now. Oh, and there's the election. Gubernatorial candidate Hiram Johnson wants Andy to run for the legislature to help foil the railroad barons. Last, but far from least, there are the women-the debutant beauty and the Arapaho princess. Readers looking for adventure, suspense, and romance (and which readers aren't?) will find their search is over in The Second Vendetta.

Through trial and error, the forgotten prince learns that he can draw strength from his new gypsy family and find confidence amid his sorrow to fulfill his destiny.

The book covers the last three years of my mother's life. It is a tribute to her and the family. It started out as merely keeping track of various appointments, etc., and ended up as a diary of events describing the last three years of her life. She struggled much longer than what is written, but I started taking care of her those last three years. Dollie Fuller was born and raised in South Carolina. She holds both a bachelor and a Masters's degree, and worked in academia and social services for over 40 years, until her retirement in 2007. She currently lives in Florence, South Carolina with her husband. They have two children and four grandchildren. My Walk With Mom is her second book.
