Book Description
Just Zack is the story of a black man born during the Depression, raised in the deep South, has fearlessly experienced the effects of segregation and Jim Crow but never having been understood or assimilated as the sociological term implies to it. As an adult, I was the first member of my family to have received a college degree. I received a bachelors degree in Sociology from California State University in San Bernardino, hoping to unlock the mystery of Jim Crow. I did not. I identified with the black national movement of that time. I was seventy-five when I became a newcomer to Christ and realized my redemption made me just. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith (Galatians 3:24). And it was at this point that I realized my earlier life impacted the man I had been until nownot all bad, not all good, no regrets, no bitterness. I was just. I was Zack. I learned that my personality was influenced by my childhood, and my past weighed heavily on my future and was the basis of my marriage, which lasted for more than fifty years. This was not because my wife or I were virtuous, but that God had protected both of us from ourselves from the beginning. Before writing this book, I prayed for God to guide me. God began to flood my mind with things that I had done in both my wifes and my life, things I could not have known and would not have known had I not become a Christian, studied the scriptures, and learned that God knew us both before our marriage and how our lives would be favored to serve his purpose. God knew us when we were in our mothers womb.

Book Description
When Harlee finally made that hard choice, she knew that Grace would stand by her. Through the tears and the crying and the screaming in frustration, Grace always had been there. When a friendship turned into more, Harlee wasn't sure what to do. Should she run the risk of ruining a friendship she's had for 8 years just to try out a relationship? Does she take the chance when it could mean breaking up an 8 year team? A hard decision was an understatement but it was a choice she'd have to make. Zack Walker had been part of Harlee's band for what felt like forever. When he saw her relationship with Jake crumbling around her, all he wanted to do was jump in and save her from it all. After telling her that he'd spent his life waiting for her to be single, Harlee almost laughed him right out of the room. He'd had the typical rock star past full of one night stands and girlfriends who didn't mean much to him, but would she really hold all of that against him? When the right time came, he'd jumped at the chance to be with her, and wasn't about to give it up. When Grace saw Zack and Harlee together, part of her questioned it it was right, the other part questioned what Jake would do when he found out. She had to put her feelings aside when her relationship was rekindled with Kevin, but would she be able to hide Harlee's new love from Jake? She had to hide a lot from Kevin and Jake, but she knew that there was that chance that Harlee was going to lose it all. When you have to make the hardest choice ever, it better be what you want. Living with the hard choices was easy if it was the right choice and the right man.
