Book Description
Shirley Booth-Byerly has been addicted to the study of genealogy since childhood; she loves the never-ending battle of discovering subtle links, possibilities, impossibilities, and misconceptions. In God, Ghosts, and Grannies, she tells the story of her family—where they came from and how they settled in South Alabama and Northwest Florida. Telling the events as literary nonfiction and taking genealogy to a new level, her story shares insights from six generations, six unique individuals, each viewing life from slightly skewed, rose-colored glasses. Shirley melds humor, drama, and a living experience with research, resources, and revelations. Gods, Ghosts, and Grannies narrates a story of people’s lives, their hopes, their dreams, and the realities they faced while struggling, working, and tending their homes; the same homes that convey tranquil memories, laughter, sunshine, and contentment—memories forever gone when no one is left to tell the stories or no one cares to listen.

"Daddy's Big Secret, Jordan Learns the Truth," is a heart-felt, non-fiction story that depicts the recollection of his childhood from a father, who is coming to grips with the truth that he had tried to hide from the world and sometimes himself. After long consideration, and with the support of his loving wife; in a moment of questions and answers from his young daughter, he decides to take the huge step of telling her the truth that he'd been hiding for so long. This decision to be more open and honest and embrace his past and still current demons, was one of the hardest decisions that he has ever made. Jermaine Keith Seamon is a Philadelphia, PA native, but currently resides in Georgia. Jermaine has been married for 16 years, to his beautiful wife Felicia, and they have one daughter Jordan, who is now 14 years old. Jermaine is currently a police cadet for the DeKalb County Police Department.

Jermaine also has a monthly blog on everything comic books and superheroes called, "The Comics Analyst," https: //www.seamonent.com. Fathers always want to impart wisdom and truth to our children, but how and when to pass on the intimate details of our personal struggles, mistakes, and secrets are often more difficult than anything. At that particular moment in time, I had a choice whether to continue hiding my biggest secret, or to divulge to my biggest fan (my daughter) that her superhero was not the perfect picture that she had painted of me. I recognized in that moment, that my secret could possibly provide insight into her life, while also giving her the hope that she may eventually need to overcome struggles and internal doubts that plague every person once they realize that their different. It was my obligation to share her Daddy's Biggest Secret, and tell Jordan the truth.

The Family Secrets Collection: Before I Saw You / How Sweet the Sound / Then Sings My Soul / Lead Me Home
Author: Amy K. Sorrells
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1496447395
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 761
Book Description
Four of Amy Sorrells’s novels in one e-book! Before I Saw You In a southern Indiana town ravaged by the heroin epidemic, Jaycee Givens lives with little more than a thread of hope. Jaycee is carrying grief and an unplanned pregnancy she conceals because she trusts no one, including kind, handsome Gabe, who is new to town and to the local diner where she works. Jaycee nurses her broken heart among a collection of unlikely friends, the closest thing to family that she has. Eventually, she can’t hide her pregnancy—not even from the baby’s abusive father, who is furious when he finds out. The choices Jaycee must make for the safety of her unborn child threaten to derail any chance she ever had for hope and redemption. Ultimately, she must decide whether the truest form of love means hanging on or letting go. How Sweet the Sound Anniston Harlan cares little for high society and the rigid rules and expectations of her grandmother, Princella. She finds solace working the orchards alongside her father and grandfather, and relief in the cool waters of Mobile Bay. Anniston’s aunt, Comfort Harlan, has never lived up to the family name, or so her mother Princella’s scowl implies. When she gleefully accepts her boyfriend Solly’s proposal, a flood tide of tragedy ensues, stripping Comfort of her innocence and unleashing generations of family secrets. While Comfort struggles to recover, Anniston discovers an unlikely new friend from the seedy part of town who helps her try to make sense of the chaos. Together, they and the whole town of Bay Spring, Alabama discover how true love is a risk, but one worth taking. Then Sings My Soul When Jakob’s wife dies, he and his daughter, Nel, must face the realities of his worsening dementia and emerging shadows Nel didn’t know lay beneath her father’s beloved, curmudgeonly ways. While Nel navigates the restoration and sale of Jakob’s dilapidated lake house, her high school sweetheart shows up in town, along with unexpected correspondence from Ukraine. And when she discovers a mysterious gemstone in Jakob’s old lapidary room, Jakob’s condition worsens as he begins having flashbacks about his baby sister from nearly a century past. As father and daughter race against time to discover the truth behind Jackob’s fragmented memories, the God they have both been running from shows that he redeems broken years and also the future. Lead Me Home Amid open fields and empty pews, small towns can crush big dreams. Abandoned by his no-good father and forced to grow up too soon, Noble Burden has set his dreams aside to run the family farm. Meanwhile, James Horton, the pastor of the local church, questions his own calling as he prepares to close the doors for good. As a severe storm rolls through, threatening their community and very livelihood, both men fear losing what they care about most . . . and reconsider where they truly belong.
