Sierra was always an exceptional child. She was the child every parent hoped for. From the time she was two, she already knew she wanted to be the next Jenny Finch. She started T-ball at four years old on the pitcher's mound, and that is where she played until she was nineteen when she was in a horrific car accident. She had a team of about twenty doctors, and every one of them warned us that people didn't make it through this kind of accident. But they didn't know Sierra and how she knocked low odds out of the ballpark.She earned a full ride to college because of her amazing pitching abilities. I was the mom who was at every game, cheering her on, encouraging her to do her best, and not letting her be too hard on herself when she made mistakes. It made my heart so happy to see my baby girl on that pitcher's mound, probably more happy than her when she was standing on the pitcher's mound. I was sure that I would see her on TV, playing one day.Then one day, I received a call from Coach Lucas, and my world, Sierra's world, and all of our family's world changed. We lost our Sierra that day and gained a new Sierra. She defied all odds, and she is alive and able to do the things we all take for granted, and we are so very grateful first to God, then to Sierra for fighting, to the amazing neurosciences ICU doctors and nurses, the extraordinary staff at the rehab hospital in Las Cruces, and lastly to all the people who patiently stood by her side and helped her get to the point she is today.

They battled within themselves to understand if Jan was genuine in her fight for abused woman.

The author's million dollar question; what were your first thoughts when you received your FIRST broken heart? Can I move on? I will have my REVENGE. I will settle the score. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE BOOK.

History, folklore, fact, and hearsay all contribute to the stories of these past generations of hill people, featuring decades of family history while being subjected to poverty, riches, hierarchy, to the lowest of lows is illustrated. Preachers, teachers, owners, and possibly slavery are explained and illustrated by the lives of four families brought together in one area, one region, and one clannish group.The story of a first-time writer born to a proud family of coal miners, lumbermen, and their distinguished women conveys the pain and hardship of the families along with the values and tributes experienced through the years until the modern day. These times show violence, compassion, religion, and hard work, combining the families from various aspects of living through the wars, Depression, highlights, and disappointment of the times.A czar of the local family-he began as a coal miner, union organizer, mine operator, and lawman, only to later serve prison time during hard times for moonshining. He returned to being a lawman and once stabbed a fellow lawman at a dance. He married an out-of-state orphan. That union brought a fourteen-year-old bride whose family once attempted to blow up a courthouse in Virginia due to a land issue.A one-armed man was the leader of the other family. A self-ordained minister who labored in the mountain life, cutting trees for the lumber company. He provided six sons for the work and joined his wife's family to provide three girls to prepare their food. His wife lived an exciting life raising the sons of a preacher. Shootings and death, even by the wife of one son, with two sons following the self-ordained ministry route, thus created challenges and excitement. Alcohol and religion are a surefire basis for interesting stories that surrounded her and her family.After writing this story, it seemed violence, religion, and family joined together to create a clannish, proud, and honorable history. Religion and violence seemed the main ingredient for our family through the years. Join us in remembering the stories and events. Sincerely,Billy Holcomb

Every year, approximately thirty-eight thousand recruits pour through the gates of Marine Corps Recruit Depots at San Diego, California, and Parris Island, South Carolina, for a chance to line up on the historic yellow footprints. And once on it, the reality of the situation sets in and almost without exception, they immediately ask themselves one question: "What the f---- did I get myself into?"In From maggots to Marines, male and female Marines from WWII to present day share their sometimes hilarious and always insanely interesting stories of their boot camp experience.Read their personal accounts of the shock and awe of arrival; those fun-filled trips to the sand pits; close order drill adventures; and most importantly...tales of some of the insane (and funny) "training aids" implemented by their DIs.Then flip to the DI chapters to get the word from the duty hut--straight from the "hats" themselves. The rigors of a 100- to 120-hour workweek, the strain placed on their marriages, and the opium they rely on to get them through it all: humor.One day early on, we were waiting our turn outside of a warehouse while others were inside getting some equipment issued. While we were standing at parade rest, the senior asks for a volunteer for some undisclosed mission."How many of you have one year of college," he asked. A bunch of us raised our hands. "How many of you have two years of college?" A smaller number of hands went up. "How many of you have three years of college?" Only one guy raised his hand. "Come here, maggot," the DI barked.At this point, I'm sure the kid probably thought he had just won the boot camp lottery and that his educational background had just staked him to some advantage. Until he heard the next words, that is, "Grab this f----ing coffee cup, puke, and run back to the duty hut and get me a cup of coffee." And just like that, the recruit got a slice humble pie along with the realization that his schooling didn't mean jack here.

The only thing that helps her cope is to retreat into her imagination.Her mother and father inform her and her sisters that they are moving. She thinks this will be a new start, which causes her heart to sing. Everyone else is anxious about the move. For her, this is a promise of new beginnings. With their things packed, they head to the docks to board the ship that will take them to their new home.She spends as much time as possible on deck, loving the sway of the ship and the spray of the sea on her face. Her parents and sisters spend most of the time in their rooms due to being seasick.One morning, she is on deck watching the dolphins, mesmerized by the beauty of their dance. Suddenly, there is something in the water with the dolphins. She rubs her eyes, thinking this cannot be real. She stares harder. Swimming with the dolphins is a man. She looks around, wondering where he has come from. There is no land or other ships in sight. Just as she is about to yell at the men on deck that there is a man overboard, he jumps over a dolphin, and she sees that he is not a man at all.

In this book, Relationship Sanity, my main point is to help people considering the marriage relationship really understand why they are getting married and also think about the bigger picture about being married. In other words, what is the purpose of this marriage for each person? It is my hope that this book would help somebody be more prepared when considering marriage. For me, the first thing to consider is to do a self-evaluation as to the reason you want to get married. Second, make sure you understand how complicated divorce is. In the book, I share some personal thoughts with hope to wrap up the book and allow the reader to have a better understanding of relationships. It is my desire to help people understand the reason they want to get married and help readers be more prepared for things when they consider getting married.

As we learn to grow, some stay boys, some grow to be men. I wrote this book to introduce myself to the world and to show people that no matter what you go through, you can always change.In Death of a Boy, Birth of a Man: Blue Sky, Heavy Rain, not every day is going to be perfect. But every day you wake up is a new challenge, a chance for new opportunities, a chance to forget about yesterday's dramas and focus on newer and better things. We are human. We fear. We fall. But the one thing that makes us different is that we never give up.Honestly, we've all been there. Hopefully, my writing this and sharing it with everyone can make a change in someone's life and help them refocus. As I said earlier, the book was made not only to introduce myself but also to remind both men and women that life is about growth. I hope everyone loves it, and I thank you for giving me this opportunity.Look for my next book, White Roses, Red Wine--another book of poetry for the grown and the love seekers.

Along with their somewhat offbeat pets: Tanglefoot the Superdog, Hssss the Wondercat, and Walt-Hare (Rex), an Oryctolagus cuniculus (American rabbit). Bella said, "e;I asked for a puppy. They thought I said something 'fluffy.' All who communicate by holding up signs."e; (This is referred to as sign language.)Follow them on their daily treks, offering their views, opinions, and somewhat less-than-useful advice on topics ranging from family to friends, school to everyday life.

This book is one of many to come from me. I'm hoping that this will lead me to be successful in the book world of readers and to the success of my new life. The poems are dedicated to everyone as something that was on my mind at that time of me dreaming. The songs--I'm hoping to have an artist sing them so that some of the proceeds can go to my company, One Nation Donation charity, and I can further my life with helping others in need. The first book is part of more to come, like my life experiences growing up. The hope and experience of music and poems give people a sense of joy and happiness. Always love family and friends.The author is interested in partnering with musicians to produce his songs.

This book is about my life before I lived on the road, what happened to me and all my mistakes when it came to doing drugs, and how a music artist named Colicchie and his music with such deep lyrics got me out and away from drug addiction. This book and the advice in it can get addicts off drugs no matter what the addiction is. It's also for people who don't do drugs but must read this, which is important.The main point of this book is vital to the world, and it teaches people that sometimes, you don't need a rehab center to get off drugs. The best therapy I ever got when it came to doing drugs was Colicchie's music, the song "e;Drug Addiction"e; parts 1 and 2. I pray that these will open more eyes when heard because without these two songs, I would not be here today. Being homeless and lost for so long, I would have been dead and never would become the man I am today. I'm proud to tell my story of how Colicchie's music saved my life and many others as well, and how to help people lost in addiction. I'm proud to give the world Colicchie's helping hand.

This is a collection of poems. I have written these pieces with heavy thought, trying to cover our most important gift--emotion. These works will take you on rides of love, lust, loneliness, fantasy, and nature. Some of these works are fictional, but you'll find most of them come from the heart to the pen.
