Unanswered Prayers is the story of first love, the kind that stays with you for a lifetime. The story follows the life of Amber Lindsey from her first discovery of love with all its hopes and dreams of the future, through the curves and disappointments life can throw at her, to the reality that life and love can sometimes be a surprise she never expected. The story begins in the late sixties when a lot was happening and the world was changing. The war in Vietnam was raging. The hippie movement was becoming a sign of the times. But life in a small town moved along at the same slow pace, trying to brace against the changes all around. Some managed to maintain their family values and pass through that time period fairly unscathed by the culture. The story is set in the beautiful small wine country town of Ukiah, California, a short distance north of San Francisco and inland from the giant redwood trees, a perfect setting to watch love grow and change with the times. Amber dreamed and prayed for the future she wanted, but God had a different plan for her life.
Hate can take over your heart. It can consume you. But when you accept Christ and fill your heart with the joy of the Lord and love for others, you can finally let go of the hate. Brent Lake, a determined young Black boy, entered a whole new world that summer when he worked on a farm doing manual labor. There, he met the owner, Astana La'Shore, a young White widow lady struggling to survive after losing her husband in the Vietnam War. In the beginning, they were both uncomfortable around each other. But they also had equally strong goals-Brent to earn money for college and Astana to turn her failing farm around. Together, they formed a bond and gained respect for each other. It was a difficult period of time filled with pain and anger because of the Vietnam War going on and the civil rights movement gaining new ground. That summer, Brent and Astana overcame many obstacles that once divided them. By the time summer ended, Astana was ready to fight for civil rights, and Brent was ready to gain an education to fight for civil rights in his own way. They were certain they would never meet again. But fate entered many years later when their paths crossed again, and that meeting opened a door to new discoveries.
You Still Move Me is the story of best friends, Garrett and Rayne, who meet again some twenty years after graduation from high school. Now that they are more mature, they share the hidden desires they had for each other in their youth. They are both thrilled to finally discover the truth. However, Garrett is married. All their lives, they were both practicing Christians clinging to their faith and moral values. Now they must choose which way to turn. Do they remain strong in their faith, or does the temptation of love overpower them? Neither of them had ever expected to be faced with a decision to jump on the roller-coaster ride that is an affair, with all its ups and downs, with its tug of war between true love and guilt and shame. They know the decision they make could change their lives forever. But desires of the heart have a way of clouding a sound mind and strong convictions.

Two ten-year-old Irish American girls take the reader on a journey beginning in 1955, when they are challenged by Salvie Baldwin to learn about the historic 1954 US Supreme Court decision declaring segregated schools unconstitutional. After a tragic fall on a track field, sixteen-year-old Erin OHara is told that she must make a life-or-death decision to have surgery to save her left leg and her life. Desperately ill and weary from the fight to hang on, she thinks of what she and her best friend, Lily McCarey, have learned about the courage of the Negroes in fighting for fair independence and acceptance, as they are in the middle of Americas civil rights movement. They have both been clinging to that shifty rope bridge called faith. It is now 1963 and the worst is yet to come. Joy OHara, Erins mother, keeps her ambitious husband and three daughters within her sight, delivering unconditional love. In her wisdom, she hires Mayleen Watson, a good woman, to look after her children and her home. But her true intent is to help her racially prejudiced husband move to a place of honest acceptance, while keeping her children colorblind. Mayleen, who swore she would never work for a white family, takes them into her heart and, when necessary, delivers tough love through sass and laughter. While representing Colorado in the 1963 Americas Junior Miss Pageant, Erins beliefs are sorely tested but reinforced by divine miracles. As life spins ahead, it is discovered that deeply held faith in God is the bedrock of everyones salvation. Crashing into the Third Heaven is a testament to the power of faith, courage, and forgiveness. First-time novelist Janis Baker lays down a foundation of strong, believable characters who exemplify the capabilities of women while under fire.
Cultural Writing. African American Studies. Biography and Memoir. Former Clinton diarist, Janis F. Kearney, pens a biography that is part historical narrative and part oral history. In 2001, Kearney began a journey, in search of black American's stories about the south that shaped a man and a leader such as William Jefferson Clinton; and memories about this southern enigma, from those who knew him. Over a two year span she collected conversations, memories, and stories from men and women from across the country. These conversations, and a carefully painted abstract of the pre-civil rights Arkansas that Bill Clinton called home; are the centerpieces of this biography. CONVERSATIONS includes rare and unheard voices of black Americans speaking candidly about America's 42nd President. Their memories, stories and thoughts on William J. Clinton, the man, the president and the enigma offer unique and rare pictures of Bill Clinton and his role in American and presidential history. The book include narratives from former President William J. Clinton; former Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater, U.S. Congressman John Lewis; Civil Rights leader, and NFPW Founder Dorothy Height; Baseball Great Hank Aaron; Pulitizer Prize winning biographer David Levering Lewis, and Harvard Sociologist, professor, William Julius Wilson, and many more.
Winner of the 2019 Textbook & Academic Authors Association’s The Most Promising New Textbook Award How can public relations play a more active role in the betterment of society? Introduction to Strategic Public Relations: Digital, Global, and Socially Responsible Communication prepares you for success in today’s fast-changing PR environment. Recognizing that developments in technology, business, and culture require a fresh approach, Janis T. Page and Lawrence Parnell have written a practical introductory text that aligns these shifts with the body of knowledge from which the discipline of public relations was built. Because the practice of public relations is rooted in credibility, the authors believe that you must become ethical and socially responsible communicators more concerned with building trust and respect with diverse communities than with creating throwaway content. The authors balance this approach with a focus on communication theory, history, process, and practice and on understanding how these apply to strategic public relations planning, as well as on learning how to create a believable and persuasive message. Key Features Chapter-opening Scenarios capture your attention by discussing current PR challenges—such as the Wells Fargo cross-selling, VW emissions cover-up, and P&G’s “Like a Girl” campaign—and thus frame the chapter content and encourage active reading. At the end of the chapter, you explore various aspects of socially responsible communication to “solve” the PR challenge. Socially Responsible Case Studies in each chapter illustrate the key responsibilities of a modern public relations professional such as media relations, crisis communications, employee communications, applied communications research, and corporate and government-specific communications. Each case features problem-solving questions to encourage critical thinking. Social Responsibility in Action boxes feature short, specific social responsibility cases—such as Universals’ #NoFoodWasted, Nespresso in South Sudan, and Merck’s collaboration with AIDS activists—to highlight best practices and effective tactics, showing the link between sound public relations strategy and meaningful social responsibility programs. Insight boxes spark classroom discussion on particularly important or unique topics in each chapter. Personality Profile boxes will inspire you with stories from PR veterans and rising stars such as the U.S. CEO of Burson-Marstellor, the Chief Communication Officer of the United Nations Foundation, and the Executive VP at HavasPR.
