Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
The reader meets five-year-old Dana, her dad, and her family on Wednesday November 13, 2002. A few things become obvious within the first few pages. Dana is sick, apparently with the flu, but something doesn't feel right with this diagnosis. There's something more sinister about this flu. Dana has Type 1 diabetes and this is complicating the already difficult situation involving her care. Dana's dad is disillusioned with God, but something in his relationship with Father Wes and in this troubled situation is drawing him to God. The reader is then taken back to Sunday January 16, 2000, before any of the troubles that Dana and her family now face have taken hold. The story reveals Dana and her family through her dad's perspective, from happy and carefree beginning through a three-year journey of suffering, quiet triumph, and personal awakening. Dana's Disease is based on the true accounts of the struggles of Dana Kanerva to be a healthy normal child, from soon after her third birthday to days before her sixth birthday.

Pages : 146
Book Description
For Sara, the loss of her husband, Peter, was unbearable. Soon after he passed, Peter came to visit, taking her to various places that only they could go. Her children, refusing to believe that she was talking to him, assumed that she had dementia. She suffered a fall, and from that time on never returned to her home. But while recovering, Sara was able to travel beyond The Veil, learning beautiful, heartfelt lessons that she was able to bring back with her and pass on to her children. Peter takes Sara on a journey both here and to the hereafter. Her life, and those of her children, is never the same. She finds an abundance of peace and serenity in a place that is timeless, where unconditional love creates healing and comfort and where the ravages of dementia cannot touch her. Walking among the angels, Sara's desire is for everyone to know the place, beyond The Veil.

Pickers and Poets
Author: Craig E. Clifford
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 162349446X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Many books and essays have addressed the broad sweep of Texas music—its multicultural aspects, its wide array and blending of musical genres, its historical transformations, and its love/hate relationship with Nashville and other established music business centers. This book, however, focuses on an essential thread in this tapestry: the Texas singer-songwriters to whom the contributors refer as “ruthlessly poetic.” All songs require good lyrics, but for these songwriters, the poetic quality and substance of the lyrics are front and center. Obvious candidates for this category would include Townes Van Zandt, Michael Martin Murphey, Guy Clark, Steve Fromholz, Terry Allen, Kris Kristofferson, Vince Bell, and David Rodriguez. In a sense, what these songwriters were doing in small, intimate live-music venues like the Jester Lounge in Houston, the Chequered Flag in Austin, and the Rubaiyat in Dallas was similar to what Bob Dylan was doing in Greenwich Village. In the language of the times, these were “folksingers.” Unlike Dylan, however, these were folksingers writing songs about their own people and their own origins and singing in their own vernacular. This music, like most great poetry, is profoundly rooted. That rootedness, in fact, is reflected in the book’s emphasis on place and the powerful ways it shaped and continues to shape the poetry and music of Texas singer-songwriters. From the coffeehouses and folk clubs where many of the “founders” got their start to the Texas-flavored festivals and concerts that nurtured both their fame and the rise of a new generation, the indelible stamp of origins is inseparable from the work of these troubadour-poets.
