The White House Boys
Author: Roger Dean Kiser
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0757397581
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Hidden far from sight, deep in the thick underbrush of the North Florida woods are the ghostly graves of more than thirty unidentified bodies, some of which are thought to be children who were beaten to death at the old Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna. It is suspected that many more bodies will be found in the fields and swamplands surrounding the institution. Investigations into the unmarked graves have compelled many grown men to come forward and share their stories of the abuses they endured and the atrocities they witnessed in the 1950s and 1960s at the institution. The White House Boys: An American Tragedy is the true story of the horrors recalled by Roger Dean Kiser, one of the boys incarcerated at the facility in the late fifties for the crime of being a confused, unwanted, and wayward child. In a style reminiscent of the works of Mark Twain, Kiser recollects the horrifying verbal, sexual, and physical abuse he and other innocent young boys endured at the hands of their "caretakers." Questions remain unanswered and theories abound, but Roger and the other 'White House Boys' are determined to learn the truth and see justice served.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
It's hard to believe that one family can endure so much and still survive. But, that's exactly what the Gadson family did amidst their life in Hollywood. It's not the Hollywood one might think but it certainly has all the same characteristics - plots, drugs, politics, sex, characters and yes, even the press and attention. Welcome to Hollywood, South Carolina, a far-from-quaint little town with a larger than life name. Shaytee Gadson vividly and honestly tells his family's life story - sharing intimate details about his alcoholic father who rises from the ashes of poverty to become mayor of his hometown. Gadson opens up about a life surrounded by constant fire and brimstone, scandal and prayer. His mother, the First Lady of Hollywood, prays her way through life while using every ounce of faith to try and save her husband and those in need around her. Gadson's recollection of his younger days captures your heart as he paints an uncomfortable picture of a young boy's quest to understand the adulterous relationships, politics and sin that surround him. Even though selfish addiction demons penetrate this Hollywood family, somehow Gadson manages to make a better life for himself and his daughters. His father ends up being banned from his own hometown. His mother cheats the face of death more than once and Gadson himself shares what it feels like to have loved and lost - all while the power of his mother's prayer saves him and his family.

The Last Folk Hero
Author: Jeff Pearlman
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0358438713
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 774
Book Description
New York Times Bestseller • The ultimate gift for sports lovers By the author of Showtime—the source for HBO’s Winning Time—the definitive biography of mythic multi-sport star Bo Jackson. “A legendary tome on a legendary athlete." —Chris Herring, author of Blood in the Garden From the mid-1980s into the early 1990s, the greatest athlete of all time streaked across American sports and popular culture. Stadiums struggled to contain him. Clocks failed to capture his speed. His strength was legendary. His power unmatched. Video game makers turned him into an invincible character—and they were dead-on. He climbed (and walked across) walls, splintered baseball bats over his knee, turned oncoming tacklers into ground meat. He became the first person to simultaneously star in two major professional sports, and overtook Michael Jordan as America’s most recognizable pitchman. He was on our televisions, in our magazines, plastered across billboards. He was half man, half myth. Then, almost overnight, he was gone. He was Bo Jackson. Drawing on an astonishing 720 original interviews, New York Times bestselling sportswriter Jeff Pearlman captures as never before the elusive truth about Jackson, Auburn University’s transcendent Heisman Trophy winner, superstar of both the NFL and Major League Baseball and ubiquitous “Bo Knows” Nike pitchman. Did Bo really jump over a parked Volkswagen? (Yes.) Did he actually run a 4.13 40? (Yes.) During the 1991 flight that nearly killed every member of the Chicago White Sox, was he in the cockpit trying to help? (Oddly, yes. Or no. Or … maybe.) Bo Jackson isn’t Jim Thorpe. He’s not Deion Sanders, either. No, Bo Jackson is Paul Bunyan. The Last Folk Hero is the true tale of Bo Jackson that only “master storyteller” (NPR.org) Jeff Pearlman could tell.
