Michigan Legends

Folktales and Lore from the Great Lakes State

By: Sheryl James

Over the course of its history, the state of Michigan has produced its share of folktales and lore. Many are familiar with the Ojibwa legend of Sleeping Bear Dunes, and most have heard a yarn or two told of Michigan’s herculean lumberjack, Paul Bunyan. But what about Detroit’s Nain Rouge, the red-eyed imp they say bedeviled the city’s earliest residents? Or Le Griffon, the Great Lakes’ original ghost ship that some believe haunts the waters to this day? Or the Bloodstoppers, Upper Peninsula folk who’ve been known to halt a wound’s bleeding with a simple touch thanks to their magic healing powers? In Michigan Legends, Sheryl James collects these and more stories of the legendary people, events, and places from Michigan’s real and imaginary past. Set in a range of historical time periods and locales as well as featuring a collage of ethnic traditions—including Native American, French, English, African American, and Finnish—these tales are a vivid sample of the state’s rich cultural heritage. This book will appeal to all Michiganders and anyone else interested in good folktales, myths, legends, or lore.

Texas Old-Time Restaurants & Cafes

By: Sheryl Smith-Rodgers

There are hundreds of restaurants in our state that have been around for more than twenty years. Some boast lots of atmosphere and a few gimmicks, like the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo. Others are more refined and elegant, like the Green Pastures Restaurant in Austin. Many double as a community watering hole, where locals gather to drink coffee and discuss what’s happening around town. The Blue Bonnet in Marble Falls fits that bill. Large or small, fancy or plain, these restaurants share three things in common: long histories, established reputations, and loyal customers. Author Sheryl Smith-Rodgers scoured the state to find the best of these old-time restaurants and cafes, and then collected some of their tried-and-true Texas recipes, making this an excellent gift book, recipe source, and weekend travel guide.

Tightrope

Americans Reaching for Hope

By: Nicholas D. Kristof,Sheryl WuDunn

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • With stark poignancy and political dispassion Tightrope addresses the crisis in working-class America while focusing on solutions to mend a half century of governmental failure. This must-read book from the authors of Half the Sky “shows how we can and must do better” (Katie Couric). "A deft and uniquely credible exploration of rural America, and of other left-behind pockets of our country. One of the most important books I've read on the state of our disunion."—Tara Westover, author of Educated Drawing us deep into an “other America,” the authors tell this story, in part, through the lives of some of the people with whom Kristof grew up, in rural Yamhill, Oregon. It’s an area that prospered for much of the twentieth century but has been devastated in the last few decades as blue-collar jobs disappeared. About a quarter of the children on Kristof’s old school bus died in adulthood from drugs, alcohol, suicide, or reckless accidents. While these particular stories unfolded in one corner of the country, they are representative of many places the authors write about, ranging from the Dakotas and Oklahoma to New York and Virginia. With their superb, nuanced reportage, Kristof and WuDunn have given us a book that is both riveting and impossible to ignore.

Shock and Awe in Fort Worth

How the U.S. Army Rigged the "free and Open Competition" to Replace Halliburton's Sole-source Oil Field Contract in Iraq

By: Sheryl Elam Tappan

After the Pentagon revealed it had secretly awarded the Iraq oil work to Halliburton, the Army Corps of Engineers' Fort Worth District was supposed to give other contractors a chance to bid. The irony is the competition for new contracts turned out to be far more corrupt than the sole-source award! The author, an independent consultant, led Bechtel's team in the competition until she discovered it was a sham and Bechtel withdrew. The competition appeased Pentagon critics because the fraud was never revealed - until now. They accused VP Cheney, former Halliburton CEO, of giving the work to cronies, based on circumstantial evidence, not proof. The critics never identified the bureaucratic pathway by which payback was achieved or even a single link in the chain. This book presents hard evidence of favoritism for the first time. It identifies missing links between Cheney and the Halliburton contract awards by the Corps and shows how they lied and cheated Halliburton's competitors. It also reveals why competitors who knew what happened never complained, why procurement fraud and contracting abuse are only going to get worse, and what we have to do to stop it. "Shock and Awe in Fort Worth" is the first book written from the inside of the government-industry 'secret fraternity.' The author has written proposals that have won billions of dollars of government work, including Bechtel's Iraq civil infrastructure contracts with USAID worth $3.1B. Bestsellers attack the Bush administration from the left; others defend it from the right. This is the first book to present a constructive, nonpartisan examination of the Iraq contracting debacle and a path forward out of the quagmire of contracting abuse. Government dependence on contractors is growing at an alarming rate, while the staff selecting and overseeing them, to ensure hard-earned tax dollars are well spent, has decreased dramatically - over 50% in Defense alone. Every taxpayer needs to read this book!

Option B

Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy

By: Sheryl Sandberg,Adam Grant

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life’s inevitable setbacks After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void,’” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.” Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build. Option B combines Sheryl’s personal insights with Adam’s eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart—and her journal—to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl’s loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy. Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. “I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend replied, “Option A is not available,” and then promised to help her make the most of Option B. We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.

The Heart of a Pastor

A Life of Edmond Lee Browning

By: Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook

When a genial, red-headed Texan, recently ordained an Episcopal priest, set off in 1959 with his wife and three young children to do missionary work in post-World War II Okinawa, he didn’t know it was the beginning of a journey that would take him to assignments around the world and lead to his election as the twenty-fourth presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church. Edmond Lee Browning, known for his pastoral heart and his declaration of “No outcasts,” steered the church through challenging issues—racial, gender, and sexual equality, ordination of women to the episcopate, nuclear arms proliferation, war—and bitter controversy as traditional understandings of faith, human sexuality, and America’s place among the nations came under siege. An unflinching advocate for the powerless, he advised not only his fellow Episcopalians, but U.S. presidents and world leaders in a ministry that spanned the continents and earned him international love and respect. Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook’s authorized biography, The Heart of a Pastor: A Life of Edmond Lee Browning, tells this remarkable man’s story through the Browning family’s own words, excerpts from historical documents, and the lively anecdotes and intimated recollections of those who know him and worked with him.

In this collection of poetry the author finds, in the character of Scheherazade, a metaphor for what it means to write. The voices of these poems are deeply female, whether they be those of daughters, lovers or mothers; they remind us that the difficult truths of the imagination are rooted in the body. Here are poems that find love and redemption in darkness, intelligence and emotion in the erotic.
