Book Description
This is a story about a seventeen-year-old teenager named Sharon Knowles, a senior in high school, who has an eighteen-year-old boyfriend named Andrew Stipes, also a senior in high school. During an uncommon moment of passion between the two, Sharon becomes pregnant, and this pregnancy becomes the defining moment in her young life. Three weeks later Andrew is killed in a snowboarding accident along the Rocky Mountain Continental Divide and Sharon is forced to make important decisions without him. But life goes on, as it must, and she eventually defeats the feelings of guilt, loneliness, and low self-esteem that surround a young person in her predicament. She marries several years later, but the untimely death of her husband during the Colorado Big Thompson flood puts her back in the throes of loneliness again. Then life rebuilding begins slowly, and with the passage of time and the support of friends around her, she learns to live again. This is not a children's story.

Book Description
The reader of this book will be taken on a fascinating journey from the earliest days of the historic Robinson plantation of 150 years ago, to its present day name of the West River Plantation. Carved out of the wilderness of east Texas , the estate rose to immense prosperity during the industrial revolution, only to fall into inevitable decline and tragedy. Reduced to a few acres, and the home in disrepair in the late 1970s, the estate would be sold to the West family. The era of the once great plantation of 3500 acres was fast fading into history, as well as the memory of the Robinson family. But with the recent discovery of a multitude of artifacts by the West family, and the building of a museum on the estate, the dying plantation, and the memory of the Robinsons is beginning to live once again. The book delivers eye-witness accounts of life changing events in the Robinson family, and lists many of the artifacts found, and follow-up research done by the author. From the days of General Sam Houston dancing in the foyer of the Victorian house, to the sounds of many children laughing and playing, to the designation of the plantation as a State Archeological Landmark, the reader will be captivated by this account of early Texas history.

Book Description
My story begins on Tuesday the thirteenth of June 1978 that was the day my life changed forever. If you have read my first book My Truth you will understand what I am talking about, but for those who have not, then I shall explain. My husband Neville and I had both decided to watch the New Granada series starring Tim Curry and Ian McShane. We had both seen Tim in the Rocky Horror Show so when we read that he was playing in a costume drama; we thought it would be interesting to watch him in a different role as William Shakespeare. So we had our tea and sat down together to watch the programme. Well we were both enjoying it until the second half when it came to the murder of a man called Christopher Marlowe who I never knew existed until that night. At the time of his murder, I suddenly turned to Neville and said: I didnt die, I didnt die like that, those words I could not stop from coming out and I kept repeating those words over and over.

Book Description
The book “Haiti Shall Live Again” has clearly outlined the problems facing Haiti. Dr. Fabius not only exposed the problems, but he also provided solutions to some of the problems. This book is highly recommended to everyone who desires to learn about Haiti’s history. If you want to know about the international community meddling in Haitian politics, this book is for you. Dr. Fabius has gone beyond to provide a Godly perspective on the Haitian’s problems. He incorporated many biblical views as he tried to provide sound solutions to Haiti's problems facing the Haitian people. I strongly recommend this book to everyone in search of a better understanding of Haiti’s problems. Haiti, once known as 'La Perle des Antilles', will return to life as it did during the time of Toussaint Louverture and Dumarsais Estimé. Dr. Fabius' path is straightforward, but it doesn't come without its challenges, as truth can be difficult to accept. All the obstacles and challenges will be overcome in the New Haiti. Welcome to the new Haiti, a country that is poised to make new history again. A country that offers a prosperous and peaceful life, just as during Toussaint Louverture and Dumarsais Estimé. The invisible hand of God has been there for protection, allowing Haiti to remain resilient despite all adversity. The new Haiti will become great again due to the lessons learned from God, the past, and other countries. More than 200 years ago, hundreds of slaves from plantations across the island of Saint Domingue (Haiti) gathered for a meeting to strategize on a path toward liberation and justice. While they were unified by their shared vision of freedom, a Voodoo priestess danced in the middle of the crowd. There have been strange events that have transpired since then. According to the NPR news Analysis, Haiti had to pay France 10 times the amount the United States had paid France in the Louisiana Purchase. And to our surprise, Haiti's independence brought many benefits to the United States of America. France's actions towards the Haitian people after the Haitian Revolution are a particularly well-known example of colonial theft according to Professor Marlene Daut. This book will highlight some of the crazy ideas and seeds that Haitians have ignored for a long time. The country is now facing the consequences of the unresolved problems. This book will make a difference, as it will force and challenge Haitians everywhere to start thinking. Half of the profit of this book will go to Building Life for Haiti (BLFH) which is a nonprofit organization 501 (c) (3). BLFH.org focuses on encouraging community unity, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, and providing educational services. This is a call for action. Your gift and purchase today will restore hope and life to those in need. BLFH aims to empower men, women, and youth and educate them on business, entrepreneurship, and other topics. Teaching English is something we want to do because nearly all new job openings in Haiti require people to speak it. BLFH's objectives for Haitians are to be independent and live a life without fear. We want them to have peace of mind and expel all myths through the revelation of Jesus Christ. We believe that education, health, and wellness will eradicate many myths that are common among under-educated populations. This will help people live healthier lives, decrease medical expenses, and reduce the need to see witch doctors. Many children in Haiti are unable to find a place to go during the summer months. There is no formal or structural program that they can attend to help them develop their character further. We view Vocational Bible School as boredom while instilling good biblical principles that can help change their lives.
