After the loss of Grace’s mother and father and her first love, Grace throws herself into her teaching profession. Other than a few close friends made at the middle school that she taught at, and a few college friends, this was now Grace’s world. After the breakup of Grace’s one and only love, Grace vowed to never open her heart again to love, heartache, and pain, which she knew would only lead to disappointment. This was Grace’s plan, but little did she know that life and fates’ plans were not always aligned with our hearts. Grace was unaware that fate would place Joe Peterson in her path to reopen her heart and to teach her to love and trust again. Joe Peterson was a project construction manager who swore off love because he was too busy, not building his life relationship, only buildings. When Grace and Joe’s paths cross, the only project Joe wanted to manage was him and Grace’s Love Under Construction. After falling head over heels in love with Grace, Joe found that the property that he needed to build on was owned by Grace Pearson. He was now faced with the dilemma of how to go about getting Grace to sell her property so that he could advance his career. Joe knew that to gain her property was to lose her heart, and he desperately needed them both. Fate placed these two hearts on the same paths that twist and turn, but only because many years ago, Grace’s mother and father decided to settle in a wonderful little town in Connecticut along the Long Island Sound. Grace’s brother also played a part in fate’s story. Grace’s brother went away to college and returned to the wonderful little town in Connecticut. Grace’s brother was now the municipal judge. Grace Pearson had one plan when she went back to her hometown, and that was to sell her mother and father’s estate and return to Florida and become the principal of the school where she was a teacher for five years. She wanted to move on with her life, but as fate would have it, she fell in love with her brother’s best friend, who turned out to be the project manager that wanted to buy her property and tear it down to build a casino. Joe Peterson found himself in a dilemma; he had fallen in love at first sight with Grace Pearson. He needed her property to advance his career, but he wondered, how could he gain one and lose the other? Joe needed them both!
The Flatts have always been great believers that God comes first, closely followed by family. Though they may agree or disagree about a variety of subjects, they will always be the Flatt family—proud and strong. In collection of stories that were told to him while growing up, Ernest Allen Flatt, Sr. shares insight into both sides of the Flatts that include his mother’s family, the Griffins. Throughout the action-packed tales that begin in 1898 and continue through the present day, Flatt offers an entertaining glimpse into the two families’ experiences as they moved from Tennessee to Kentucky, and then to Ohio and back to Tennessee again; married and gave birth to offspring; attempted to survive the challenges surrounding the Great Depression and two world wars; and dealt with killers. Flatt also shares background into his own life as he transformed into a professional musician, married twice, raised children, bought two motorcycles in the same day, retired, and battled health issues. Included are two family trees that can be utilized as a reference. The Flatt Family Stories is the memoir of two Southern families as they navigated through one hundred and twenty-three years of life.
Rarely does one have the opportunity to take a journey through someone else's life. Especially a life that witnessed some of modern history's most significant events. Imagine someone who lived during the sinking of the Titanic, the first radio broadcast, man landing on the moon and the introduction of the Internet, not to mention both World Wars and at least a half dozen other major military conflicts--all in a single lifetime. The life experience of George W. Huff, "Joe," were every bit as varied and colorful as the changes in the world around him. Come along as the stories unfold one after the other, decade by decade. Witness first-hand how God orchestrates an extraordinary series of events through the life of an ordinary man, just as He did so often with people of the Bible. Joe describes in his own words, recorded years before his death, how God protected him time and time again, forgave him of his transgressions and transformed his life into one of service resulting in a legacy that would last for all eternity.

This is the first book-length study of the 12 films starring African American Renaissance man Paul Robeson (1898-1976). Singer, actor, author, lawyer, athlete, pacifist and civil rights activist, Robeson was also the first African American to receive top billing in motion pictures, delivering unforgettable characterizations in such classics as The Emperor Jones (1933), Sanders of the River (1935), Show Boat (1936) and The Proud Valley (1940). Original research is provided from primary materials housed at the Schomburg Center for Black Culture in Harlem and the FBI archives in Washington, D.C., and from Robeson's family and friends, including his son Paul Robeson, Jr. Two appendices cover Robeson's film work as offscreen narrator and singer and his many stage appearances. Rare illustrations include never-before-published original studio materials.
