Handcuffed and arrested while TV cameras rolled and newspaper reporters scribbled notes this wasn't how Texas Lil's dream was supposed to end. She'd spent 27 years turning the Texas Lils Dude Ranch into a premier vacation spot. Now it was smoldering from a fire so huge that the glow was seen as far away as Fort Worth. Police accused Texas Lil of being the arsonist and made a public spectacle of arresting her and ruining her reputation. Texas Lil was destined to be an entrepreneur. Despite a philandering, money-burning husband as a business partner, Texas Lil used savvy and sweat to turn a tiny shop in her garage into a thriving, popular business. She parlayed that into the Texas Lils Dude Ranch, 200 acres of gorgeous rolling property near what would become the Texas Motor Speedway She accomplished all this while raising children and dealing with a drunken, abusive husband. But personal tragedies have never been strangers to this determined woman. She handled the sensational murder of her brother Stan Farr, who was shot along with Priscilla Davis and two others at the Cullen Davis mansion in 1976. This amazing story of how a single mom overcame a never-ending series of tragedies, built a successful business, and lived a roaring good life comes to life on the pages of Texas Lil's book, Trails, Trials, and Tears. It's a completely revealing look into the life of a remarkable woman who keeps pushing forward no matter how many times she stumbles along the way.
“Transfixing…[Wayne’s] prison diary is, above all, a testament to the irrepressibility of his charisma—his is a force that can never go dormant, even when it’s not plainly on display.” –The New Yorker From rap superstar Lil Wayne comes Gone ’Til November, a deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010. In 2010, recording artist Lil Wayne was at the height of his career. A fixture in the rap game for more than a decade, Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) had established himself as both a prolific musician and a savvy businessman, smashing long-held industry records, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and signing up-and-coming talent like Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money label. All of this momentum came to a halt when he was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to a yearlong stay at Rikers Island. Suddenly, the artist at the top of his game was now an inmate at the mercy of the American penal system. At long last, Gone ’Til November reveals the true story of what really happened while Wayne was behind bars, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful. Taken directly from Wayne’s own journal, this intimate, personal account of his incarceration is an utterly humane look at the man behind the artist.
When I realized that I was the last of my siblings, I decided to put pen to paper and began writing the story of my family history all the way back to the late 1800s. This is the story of a husband and wife who emigrated from Mexico to the United States, who became citizens, and then started a family with hopes of educating their children and becoming prosperous and living the American dream. There were many struggles along the way, especially during the depression years. My family had a strong dedication to the patriotism of the United States and volunteered to enter the military and support the cause during World War II. Through my fathers hard work, the family owned a thriving Mexican food products business. Although I faced many obstacles, I was able to overcome them and pursue my dream of a formal education. I obtained my masters degree at age seventy. I have been married to three different husbands, which presented many opportunities for travel, and I have visited many places around the country and around the world. I have two wonderful sons who have been very supportive in my endeavors.
