He and his dog Boots, a furry red golden retriever mix, don't need any help finding trouble in the rugged and sandy landscape. The hot summer day begins like any other, as Marshal and Boots feed the guineas and head out across the pasture looking for adventure.

The In-Betweens
Author: Davon Loeb
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1925536564
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Beginning with the challenges of how his White father and Black mother met, with their desire "to run away and start fresh and new"-resulting in a sometimes "pretend family"-to a near-archetypal description of his grandfather having just cut the grass as the author watches with a swollen lip and a black eye, to incessant moments in which different expressions of masculinity get inculcated, Davon Loeb frequently captures the disturbing poesy of life growing up. With painstaking detail, this work is in the vein of James McBride's 'The Color of Water', Justin Torres's 'We the Animals', and Jamaica Kincaid's 'Annie John', 'The In-Betweens' is a meditation on bruise and healing. Loeb's struggles become snapshots of how transformation occurs even where shards have been piled, where one waits "for something to happen, like flashes of red and blue sirens pulsing." A truly extraordinary new voice! Roy G. Guzmán, author of 'Restored Mural for Orlando'

I Have Traveled is the true story of a family that was set in motion to fail. It all begins in the late 1940s with a little girl’s vision. She tries to understand why everyone must struggle so hard.

She progresses in her journey as a hopeful person acknowledging human error.

I Have Traveled is a journey about gaining self-confidence, even when all the odds are against you.

Book Description
Where you come from isn’t who you are “Riveting. An achingly beautiful tale told with a singularly fresh and original voice.” —Jocelyn Green, award-winning author of the Heroines Behind the Lines Civil War series Ten-year-old Pearl doesn’t understand a lot of things—why her sister’s brain doesn’t work right, why the preacher yells so much, why Jesus and the president seem to have forgotten all about Oklahoma. But she does know who she is: Pearl Spence, daughter of the esteemed town sheriff. Generous and always ready to help in a crisis, the Spences bring hope to this desolate town, and Pearl is proud of her family. She knows who she is, she knows she is loved, and even in unrelenting hardship, life feels secure. Not even the dust that sweeps incessantly across Red River can quench her hopes and dreams. But someone else seems to know who she is, too, and he makes Pearl uneasy. From the moment the mysterious hobo steps off the train and stares at her with his cold blue eyes, Pearl’s secure world begins to unravel. How does Eddie know her name? Why does he seem to hover everywhere she turns? And why does he act like he knows something about her family that she doesn’t? Pearl is determined to avoid him, but Eddie is bent on forcing his way into her life and disrupting her family’s shaky tranquility. The more he badgers Pearl, the greater her confusion, until the storm within her rivals the swirling of dust and dirt without. “The author does a great job of giving the reader a feel for those dark days in our nation’s history. Very intriguing reading!” —Virgil Dwain McNeil, a Dust Bowl survivor
