The author has arranged this book in such a way as to divide it into categories so that the readers will get the maximum benefit and experience of it. First, the enormous grief and pain during times of betrayal, divorce, and broken homes that affect all members of the family. This first part of grief highly focuses on relationships where there is dysfunction and abuse and, overall, love that has been lost. Volume 2 will focus on issues of struggle with time and with money, issues that we face in this life such as death, the overall character of the man, his body, his talents, his gifts, and where Jesus comes in to place in his life. Issues of morality, the world, and justice are also touched upon. Heroes and the thirst for righteousness as well as overall prayers and supplications to the Almighty will be addressed in the second volume. There will also be prayers and short poems that are brief but, in their brevity, stress a main point. Finally, in the third volume of the book will be a collection and compilation of current events and all-time favorites of the poet’s choosing, representing the mastery, skill, and talent that has been bestowed on the writer. One’s senses will be heightened and enlightened with effortless enjoyment experienced by the readers. It is highly advised that the readers purchase all three volumes to get the maximum effect of the whole process so they can better relate to each poem. The readers will be taken upon a journey first of betrayal, lost love, sorrow, and death, and in a sense, dying of oneself. The next volume will focus on encouragement and prayers, even though some do not understand why they are going on their specific journey. The grace in volume 2 cannot be denied and can only be dealt once the grief is experienced. It is so blatant that it seems to jump off the pages with healing power. And finally, volume 3 is the pinnacle of God’s glory demonstrated by a compilation of all-time favorites chosen by the poet herself as well as all the troubling current events that are occurring in the world at this time. It is the author’s desire that the persons reading this compilation of poems focus on all the volumes because each has immense beauty and meaning. It is for this reason that it would be her honor and desire that you purchase all three to get the maximum benefit of the process, keeping the end result in mind.

Every person has stories in their hearts, wanting to be expressed, seen through eyes and letting others know what life is. Maybe through those stories the person reading will be released from their bonds and are free inside to let their own stories come alive. I like the Daily Snapshots, they tell a brief lurid event happening at the moment. Stand back and let the story happen. A fresh outlook in seeing the world around you.

Most of the adventure written in this book, really occurred. After slavery was abolished, many Negroes joined up to fight with the Union army to help win the war over slavery. At first, they were not accepted, but later at the loss of many white soldiers, the Negroes were allowed to join the army, but only in a segregated regiment called the colored troops. After the Civil War was won, the colored calvary was born. They were called the 9th and 10th calvary of the United States Army. They fought Indians, chased outlaws, and escorted settlers across the plains. The colored calvary was given tough and dangerous assignments; but they fought magnificently and won every fight they were engaged in; with few or no casualties. The colored troops were very skillful and courageous; the Indians respected them as brave fearless warriors. They were given the name Buffalo Soldiers, because the buffalo is sacred and highly respected in the Indian Nation. Also, the Indians thought the Negroes hair was similar to the kinky, curly hair of the buffalo. The Seminole Negro Indians were the best scouts and trackers in the country, and many were drafted into the Army. It is recorded that many Negro soldiers were decorated highly for bravery, and received the Congressional Medal of Honor. In 1847, Jacob Washington was born a slave and was freed during the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. At the age of sixteen, Jacob left the plantation and traveled west to Texas, where he fulfilled his dream as a cowboy. Jacob got a job on the Circle (G) Ranch, working for Bill Goodman as a wrangler. Jacob changed his name to Jake, and received lots of experience. He helped push cattle northward up the Chisholm Trail into Oklahoma (Indian Territory) and on into Abilene and Dodge City, Kansas.

The first-ever study of African American giftedness at the collegiate level, focusing on two extraordinary case studies. At a time when so many studies of African American students focus on the factors of failure, Academically Gifted African American Male College Students fills a conspicuous void in the research literature on post-secondary education by focusing on success. Like no other work before it, this remarkable study goes deep inside the experiences of academically gifted African American men who successfully navigate their way through rigorous college-level programs. At the heart of the unique and long overdue work are two real-life stories of African American male students: one at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and the other at a Traditionally White Institution (TWI). In presenting, comparing, and contrasting these two cases, the book identifies a number of personal characteristics and institutional approaches driving their notable achievements. The result is a guidebook both for gifted African American male students and for the institutions looking to strengthen their support for them—particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.

I’ve lived in nine towns in the past six years. I know my mom feels bad about it, but I don’t mind. Who wants friends anyway? All I’ve ever needed are my books. I’ve lived a thousand lives, had adventures I couldn’t even begin to imagine. To me, the places I discovered between the pages of a book are as real as the world I live in. When I walk into my favorite bookstore, the last thing I expect is to walk out onto the pages of the kingdom of Mithres...or that the book boyfriend I’ve loved more than life, Kane the Traveler, really exists. And he has no clue the fate that awaits him in book five... Now that I know the truth, I have a chance to save Kane. But if I change the story, will I ever find my way home?

I’m rich, angry and powerful, and I have one thing in my sights—revenge. Nothing’s going to stop me from executing my plan and taking down the man who dares to call himself my father. Not even her. Curves for days, hair a man can wrap his fist around, and a mouth begging to be owned, Temple thinks she can stop me. Dragging her into my world, putting a target on her back—it’s all part of the plan. Claiming her wasn’t. But now I’m addicted to playing her traitorous body like a weapon, and the only thing that will save me is sacrificing her. There’s a reason they call me “Sin”. *DEVIANT SIN is a standalone in the Cruel Desires series Cruel Desires Series DEVIANT SIN CRUEL SAINT BAD ANGEL VICIOUS STORM Topics: Dark College Romance, Dark Romance, Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Romance, Alpha Heroes, Bad Boy Romance, Steamy Romance, Sexy Romance, Hot Romance, Insta Love Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Suspense Series, Romantic Suspense Series, Dominant Hero Romance, Alpha, Captivating Romance, Swoon Worthy Romance, Possessive Hero Romance, HFN, HEA, Dominant Heroes, Sassy Heroines, Romance Series, Cruel Desires Series, Lee Piper, Lee Piper Author.
