There was a time when Eileen would have a pen and pad next to her night table and would write her dreams or any ideas that came to her during the night. One morning, Eileen noticed a candle and a prayer written on her notepad. She did not know what it meant. She prayed and asked God for clarification. One day her grandson, Andrew, who was four, spent a day with his grandparents. Eileen finished preparing lunch and asked Andrew to set the table and put the candle on the table. The three of them sat at the table and Andrew said the blessing. That statement, "Put the candle on the table" sounded familiar to her. Eileen prayed and asked God if that had any meaning. God told her, "I gave you the title." Eileen decided to write a Christian children's book. Her book is about a young boy who spends time with his grandparents while his parents are at work. The book teaches basic table setting. The child will be able to identify and place each piece needed for a perfect table setting. A blessing is said before eating each meal.
Miracle of Effort: Thalia's Autism Journey is the story of Thalia being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when she was two years old and her journey to graduating college and becoming an elementary school teacher. Through Thalia's journey, this book aspires to offer a sense of what children with autism and their families go through. The book takes the reader through the experiences, the emotions, the challenges confronted, the sacrifices demanded, and the decisions that needed to be made at different stages of a child's life. Thalia's family is at the center of this story. There were several critical decisions made by Thalia's parents, Donnie and Lorena. They were confronted with a traumatic reality that required perspective and patience, while fighting through moments of despair and sadness. It was Donnie and Lorena's determination that they would be part of the solution for their daughter that shaped Thalia's journey. It is Donnie's cousin, Lisa, who noticed Thalia's autistic behavior symptoms and delivered her initial learning therapy sessions. Each child that is diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum will have a different experience with the disorder. No two situations are the same. The following is Thalia's unique autism journey. Her Miracle of Effort. The book is intended to offer hope to the many families that are confronted with this disability. As Thalia says, "an autism diagnosis does not mean that a child cannot be successful. It just means that he or she will see the world in a different light." Thalia's simple hope is "to inspire autistic individuals to live up to their full potential and provide optimism to families."

"I CAN DO IT, I WANT TO FLY!" started out as one of the bedtime stories I would tell my youngest son. It evolved over time and became a lesson on the power of the words can or can't. There were times the story was shorter than the previous time I told it and times I would elaborate details depending on how enthused I was about story time. As a busy Dad, I looked forward to this time of night. I hope this story helps empower your child with a lesson that can be applied in all phases of life.

From the time I met her over forty years ago, I was fascinated by Dr. Jones' insight to capture Wright's geniousness and the statement he made about "Black life" in America and its relationship to the African diaspora. At a time when it was not widely recognized in closed shop literary circles, she highlighted her subject's fixation on the aberrant behaviors of young Black men. Today, largely because of the social conditions in America, Wright's writings have come to past, and as a conclusion of her scholarship, we now dare to say out loud, "there is a 'Bigger Thomas' on every corner in America." Inspired by growing up in the all Black Douglass community of Memphis, TN, Dr. Jones' focus on gender studies offers a fresh take on never heretofore discussed issues that portray Wright's treatment of women. As a native Mississippian, I was immersed in racism, sexism, and many obstacles African American women faced. For me, Dr. Jones' work makes it all "up close and personal."-Carolyn Bell, MS, Harvard School of Public Health
