"There's a cancer, and it's killing our democracy. A poor man has to sell his soul to get elected. I cry for this country." On February 29, 2000, ninety-year-old Doris “Granny D” Haddock completed her 3,200-mile, fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. She walked through 105-degree deserts and blinding blizzards, despite arthritis and emphysema. Along her way, her remarkable speeches — rich with wisdom, love, and political insight — transformed individuals and communities and jump-started a full-blown movement. She became a national heroine. On her journey, Haddock kept a diary — tracking the progress of her walk and recalling events in her life and the insights that have given her. Granny D celebrates an exuberant life of love, activism, and adventure — from writing one-woman feminist plays in the 1930s to stopping nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village in 1960 to Haddock’s current crusade. Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown of Dublin/Peterborough, New Hampshire — Thornton Wilder’s inspirations for Grovers Croner in Out Town — a quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity and can-do attitude. Told in Doris Haddock’s distinct and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move, amuse, and inspire readers of all ages with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.

This is a simplified version of the Bible's New Testament, intended to be read to children. The New Testament is the second division of the Christian biblical canon. It discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity. It was originally written in the Koine Greek language, at different times by various authors. While the Old Testament canon varies somewhat between different Christian denominations, the 27-book canon of the New Testament has been almost universally recognized within Christianity since at least Late Antiquity.

Reflections is a compendium of stories that mark my journey from a one-bedroom, wooden house on the petite Caribbean island of Grenada to historic Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.—the capital of the United States of America—as a senior diplomat. The book draws on the many experiences I have had over the past twenty-seven years in diplomacy and recounts stories that would inspire people to discover their voice and find purpose in a life of service. The truism is that everyone has a story to tell, but being bold enough to tell that story is a surefire way of leaving a legacy and putting a book on the bookshelf. The stories are of struggles, resilience, and giving back through advocacy and mentorship. Reflections takes you along a meandering path, revealing lessons on finding perspective, being persistent and consistent, building self-confidence and resiliency, and trusting the process.
