Growing Up Different by Bonjenji by Erva Zuckerman Pdf

Born in 1918 at Bolenge in the Belgian Congo, the daughter of American missionaries, Bonjenji (Erva Zuckerman) experiences two very different worlds as she grows up in the era between two World Wars. By the time she is twelve, she will say goodbye to Africa and travel around the world, arriving in Washington, D.C. in 1931. Her parents look forward to going home, but she is leaving the only home she has ever known-her beloved Bolenge. "With clarity and simplicity, Erva Zuckerman leads us through the amazing first twenty years of her long life, from schoolwork on a screened porch by the Congo to social work in New York City. On the epic journey from there to here, her father, a missionary doctor, drove the family in a truck-which broke down and was put back together, it seems, almost daily-across Africa from west to east. From there we follow the family around the world to America, where Erva aspires to find her place as she comes of age during the Depression years. Rich in detail and unaffected in its style, the book reflects the personality of the author, as aptly described in her high school yearbook: 'Thoughtless of beauty, she is beauty's self.'" -Martha Heyneman, author of The Breathing Cathedral and The Productions of Time

In this novel the lead character, Ben Wright, has solved the most vexing problem in physics, the Unified Field Theory. The moment he attempts to make it known, all hell breaks loose. Ben discovers, to his dismay, that his ideas are not his own. After a failed kidnapping attempt by a terrorist cell, the U.S. government, recognizing the weaponry potential, claims ownership of the theory. Fearful that the theory, in the wrong hands, may do harm to humanity, Ben flees for cover to his native home Crisfield, Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay. It is there that science and technology collide with the residents of the town in an epic confrontation, involving the U.S. government and the terrorists. While Crisfield may seem to be an unlikely place for a showdown having world-wide implications, it is revealed in this backwater town, through its wonderful cast of characters, that the moral and ethical compass still points to true north, to the direction we must take if we are to survive into the future.

The Pelican's Briefs by Mark R Joneschiet Pdf

Come celebrate a town, Klamath Falls, Oregon—official population 18,538 (people, that is—the cows you will have to count yourself)! Join the author in a homespun journey through the past in a town that is the epitome of all hometowns. Located on a route that is the shortest distance between Los Angeles and Seattle, this town seems inocuous enough, however, a peak beneath its exterior reveals enough oddities, quirks and interesting characters to fuel the tabloids for centuries. This rendering of the author's memoirs offers shameless name-dropping of well-known personalities, recounts of events that have local, near-legandary status (among those involved at least) and some actual history that didn't quite make it into the history books. Fade into the past to an era devoid of terms such as "Duuuude", "Sweeeeet", and "Da Bomb!" Words that will characterize this world are more like "Golly", "Gosh", "Gee Whiz", and "Shucky-Darn." Let a mildly embarrassed pelican guide you on this tongue-in-cheek and often, ironic visit to a place that isn't too far from everyone's growing up experience.

Where Valor Proudly Sleeps by Leslie Wayne Salsbury Pdf

On rural Doylestown in southwest Pennsylvania, a most heart-rending story of romance that struggles to endure the furies of wartime plays out in Leslie Wayne Salsbury's Where Valor Proudly Sleeps. Written in a staid rhythm and prose apt for that time in the nation's history, the novel sets out with a strikingly authentic recreation of life in pre-Civil War Pennsylvania. Salsbury shows a richness of detail born out of diligent, even brilliant, research and a highly creative imagination. His characters speak out and tell us of a time and place where the most tumultuous and important battles of the Civil War were fought. On a fateful night, the two young lovers, Benjamin Wayneright and Alexandra Cadwalder, meet at a ball in the town armory. Introduced by Ben's teacher, Mrs. McIntyre, the two immediately find out how they are meant for each other. A most romantic night ensues and starts a strong, passionate relationship that will prove equal to the coming chaos of war. It is a story of heroic love: how two young lovers find their love blooming in the crucible of war and how they became a pair of strong hearts that influenced others in their town to defend the Union cause. Before the war came, Benjamin would lose his father and Alexandra was on the verge of losing hers to "bleeding cancers." Throughout forced separations, they remain true to each other. They survive the war but experienced firsthand the cost of preserving liberty and fighting for justice. They grow old in and around Doylestown, Bucks County. When Benjamin dies at a ripe old age, he is given a hero's burial by the town. Alexandra soon follows to reunite with her beloved.
