Pages : 252
Book Description
There are times in life we face things not of our own doing or choosing.We are at the mercy of our own feelings. We look at things and still can't see what lies beyond. Sometimes those who are blind have the greater vision. The can touch what we don't perceive. They hear what others can't. Most people who are blind do not become the cynic, rather the acceptor of the spirit. To them rain is thirst. To them the ground they walk on is their foundation. They seek rather than retreat. They question life's hypocrisies. They are the true believers. While some turn their back on the truth, they welcome it. They show a strength that we cannot fathom. Meet Debra Lee Diggins, she is all of this and more. Join her on her journey-take her hand and walk with her.Sometimes the Bullfrogs Sing is a story of a young girl's transcendence from girl-child to womanhood. It is also the story of Thaddeus Morgan, a troubled black man who has been on the run most of his adult life. From the time they meet each other, a bond is formed that will last a lifetime. Debra has a unique gift, even though blind, she is able to reach inside of people. She brings out the best in him and shows him how to trust again and, yes, believe there truly is a good side of life. They guide each other through personal tragedy and prove the total hypocrisy of racism. To Debra, you are how you represent yourself. To her, you are every man, every woman, every child. This story is about the true triumph of the spirit. Join her on her journey from the town of Viola, Alabama, to the city of Farley, Illinois, where an adult woman and an attorney fight for a young wife on trial for a capital crime.A scene from Sometimes the Bullfrogs SingThe setting, where Debra, her Aunt Lucy, Thaddeus, his girlfriend Geneva, and Debra's friend Nancy are all sitting on a blanket down by the creek."Why do the bullfrogs make that sound?" Debra asked.Geneva stood up and pointed in the direction of the sounds that they were making. She replied in a soft, seductive voice, "That's them singing, singing to each other. The women singing to their menfolk, come on over, get to know me. Once you meet me, we're gonna get along real good."Debra replied, "Bullfrogs can't sing."Geneva turned to Debra. "Yes, they do, honey. You just have to listen the right way. Everyone in life, all God's creatures, needs someone special to spend good times with, so you can put the bad ones behind. Times so bad you get knocked down and don't want to get up."

Pages : 216
Book Description
Let me set the record straight. My name is Charlotte Silver and I'm not one of those paranormal-obsessed freaks you see on TV…no, those would be my parents, who have their own ghost-hunting reality show. And while I'm usually roped into the behind-the-scenes work, it turns out that I haven't gone unnoticed. Something happened on my parents' research trip in Charleston—and now I'm being stalked by some truly frightening other beings. Trying to fit into a new school and keeping my parents' creepy occupation a secret from my friends—and potential boyfriends—is hard enough without having angry spirits whispering in my ear. All I ever wanted was to be normal, but with ghosts of my past and present colliding, now I just want to make it out of high school alive….
