Book Description
This book is a dramatic look at marriage disappointments from a males perspective. Most men are fundamentally good, and they can resist the temptations of infidelity when given a choice. The challenges of dealing with a wife that constantly pushes them to the margins of his life can often be too much for some men to bear. Norman found himself the object of desire for a beautiful young flight attendant. He had several encounters with her in different places. He even had lunch with her in his own hometown, but he didnt know the woman. His last encounter with her was in his hotel room late one night on a road trip to Phoenix. His wife found out that he had invited the woman into his hotel room. She accused him of cheating and threw him out of the house, but he insisted he was innocent. With divorce looming, the only way he could prove his innocence was to find her and have her confront his wife with the facts. He had no idea who she was, where she was from, or how to find her. He was desperate to find the mystery woman named Pricilla, who was the only person who could save his marriage.

You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down
Author: Alice Walker
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1453223983
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Women stand their ground in the midst of crisis in this story collection by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Color Purple. This collection builds on Alice Walker’s earlier work, the much-praised In Love & Trouble. But unlike her first collection of stories, the women in these tenderly wrought tales face their problems head on, proving powerful and self-possessed even when degraded by others—sometimes by those closest to them. But even as the female protagonists face exploitation, social asymmetries, and casual cruelties, Walker leavens her stories with ample wit and, as always, an eye for the redemptive power of love. A collection that reveals a master of fiction approaching the fullness of her talent, these are the stories Walker produced while penning The Color Purple. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Coach the Kid, Build the Boy, Mold the Man
Author: Carolyn J. Ellison
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 146910069X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
When football coach Tiger Ellison was faced with his first losing season ever, he had to muster all the creative will he had acquired since childhood to turn the season around. In doing so, he invented the most wide-open, productive, fan-pleasing scheme of aerial football the game had ever seen! He shared his philosophy with the coaching world in 1965, by writing a book called Run and Shoot Football: Offense of the Future. His dramatic offense changed the way football has been played ever since, all the way from the Little Leagues to the NFL. But this story transcends football, taking place during the social turbulence of the 20th Century. As educator and coach, Tiger dedicated his life to tapping into the fighting spirit of each of his youngsters, regardless of race, creed, or social status. He challenged each to build the character, confidence and courage to pursue a noble cause, in the classroom, on the gridiron of American football, and in life. It is a poignant reminder of the power each of us has within us to become a real winner. Tiger Ellison had a passion for life, country and sport that were absolutely contagious for those around him. When you read his story, you may laugh a little, you may learn some things about football strategy, but I am certain you will love Tiger as we players did and see why his positive philosophy of life influenced all of us in a very special way. Dr. Rex Kern, President, MSB Financial, United Midwest Savings Bank; 1968 Buckeye National Championship Quarterback and 1969 Rose Bowl MVP; Member of The Rose Bowl Hall of Fame This is one football story that is not about power and money, rather a powerful and creative mind that left its imprint forever on players, coaches, and modern offensive football. At a time when football has become big business, Tigers philosophy will remind us all why we love the game, what we can learn from it, and who we can become by it. Earle Bruce, Former Head Football Coach, The Ohio State University A real masterpiece! Every teacher, coach and mothers son should have and use this material. Rocko Joslin, Retired Director of Operations, Armco Inc., Ashland, Kentucky; Former Captain, Ohio State Buckeyes, 1953 Visit www.tigerellison.com
