Cured
Author: Carl Ray
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467044601
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Cured is truly a story about the power of forgiveness. In 1962 in Choctaw County, Alabama, Carl Ray an 18-year-old black man was questioned by an older white man; but when responding, he failed to address the man as sir as was then customary when speaking to white men. The man severely beat him for being disrespectful. Still enraged, the man later showed up at Rays home, and shot his father eight times on his front porch steps; murdered him in cold blood as the terrified youth looked on helplessly. During the farce of a murder trial that followed, the white mans lawyers blamed Ray for causing his own father's death because he had failed to be respectful. The man was charged with second degree manslaughter. However, he never served a day in prison for the murder. Ray was burdened with the guilt of causing his father's murder; his life would never be the same. In 1984, he was released from his self made prison of guilt when he forgave his fathers murderer. Ray attributes the act of forgiving the man to have been his own life saver.

Celestial Pursuits
Author: C. Carberry
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059539468X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Colin Privy was bored with his life as an historical researcher in Boston. However, nothing could have prepared him for the strange direction his life would take in a span of just two weeks. It started with an encounter with two strange men in Trinity Church and quickly turned into a race for what Colin realized might be the Holy Grail. He was joined in this race by an attractive, yet mysterious, woman, named Kick Cavanaugh, who unbeknownst to Colin was keeping a rather large secret from him. This mystery takes them on a wild and at times treacherous chase that leads them from the intellectual institutions to the subway tunnels of Boston-from the North Shore of Massachusetts to Cape Cod and to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. In the end, the mystery takes an unexpected turn, thrusting Colin into a plot that not only has high personal stakes, but also could impact the entire galaxy.
