Book Description
An autobiographical meditation on art from the world-renowned dancer and choreographer In this ceaselessly questioning book, acclaimed African American dancer, choreographer, and director Bill T. Jones reflects on his art and life as he describes the genesis of Story/Time, a recent dance work produced by his company and inspired by the modernist composer and performer John Cage. Presenting personally revealing stories, richly illustrated with striking color photographs of the work's original stage production, and featuring a beautiful, large-format design, the book is a work of art in itself. Like the dance work, Story/Time the book is filled with telling vignettes—about Jones’s childhood as part of a large, poor, Southern family that migrated to upstate New York; about his struggles to find a place for himself in a white-dominated dance world; and about his encounters with notable artists and musicians. In particular, Jones examines his ambivalent attraction to avant-garde modernism, which he finds liberating but also limiting in its disregard for audience response. As he strives to make his work more personal and broadly engaging, especially to an elusive African American audience, Jones—who is still drawn to the avant-garde—wrestles with questions of how an artist can remain true to himself while still caring about the popular reception of his work. A provocative meditation on the demands and rewards of artistic creation, Story/Time is an inspiring and enlightening portrait of the life and work of one of the great artists of our time.

Book Description
As a way of explaining life to her children and seeing the joy on their faces, LH Miller decided to put some of her stories in a book. She titled her book My Little Red Wagon of Children's Stories. These are stories like "I Saw You Today," where there was a young girl who had a conversation with God about the way she saw His work that day. There is "Cameron Finds a New Friend," about a city boy who moves to the country and finds a friend, a frog he names "Bumpy." "The Circus Comes to Town" is about a child who goes to the circus with her family for the first time and the excitement they experienced. "Exploring Crooks Island" tells of a family vacationing, boarding a pirate's ship, and waking up the next morning on Crooks Island--a pirate's island--where the excitement began. They called it the best vacation ever, with great fun at every turn. This book will keep your child's mind and imagination wondering and wanting more. The author hopes her stories give you the same joy and adventure they gave her family.

Book Description
Just like in flying, emergencies can happen at any time in life when we least expect them. Things are going smoothly and life throws us a curve ball. How we react to those situations is often more important than anything else. When that challenge involves an illness or death of a loved one, the stakes and the tension of the game of life are the highest of all. This is the true story of a family living in Texas, suddenly confronted with the stark reality of brain cancer. Adapting to this common enemy, the family pulled together in a collective support network to help the mother deal with the crisis, while reminiscing and savoring the special moments they have enjoyed together over the years. This is a memoir of Linda Kay Eggspuehlera mother, wife, friend, homemaker, surgical technologist, and so much more. She was the rock and foundation of this family. She touched so many lives with her gentle love and compassion. This memoir is dedicated to her children, so that their children will know who she was a little better.
