Book excerpt: 'Poverty is a very exacting teacher and I had been taught well' The post-war urban jungle of the Glasgow tenements was the setting for Molly Weir's childhood. From sharing a pull-out bed in her mother's tiny kitchen to running in terror from the fever van, it was an upbringing that was cemented in hardship. Hunger, cold and sickness was an everyday reality and complaining was not an option. Despite the crippling poverty, there was a vivacity to the tenements that kept spirits high. Whether Molly was brushing the hair of her wizened neighbour Mrs MacKay, running to Jimmy's chip shop for a ha'penny of crimps or dancing at the annual fair, there wasn't a moment to spare for self-pity. Molly never let it get her down as she and the other urchins knew how to make do with nothing. And at the centre of her world was her fearsome but loving Grannie, whose tough, independent spirit taught Molly to rise above her pitiful surroundings and achieve her dreams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Addams Children's Honor Book NCTE Orbis Pictus Honor Book Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book of the Year This nonfiction picture book focuses on Birmingham Sunday, a fateful day and significant part of the Civil Rights movement, and places it in historical context. Racial bombings were so frequent in Birmingham, Alabama that it became known as "Bombingham." Until September 15, 1963, these attacks had been threatening but not deadly. On that Sunday morning, however, a blast in the 16th Street Baptist Church ripped through the exterior wall and claimed the lives of four girls. The church was the ideal target for segregationists, as it was the rallying place for Birmingham's African American community, Martin Luther King, Jr., using it as his "headquarters" when he was in town to further the cause of desegregation and equal rights. Rather than triggering paralyzing fear, the bombing was the definitive act that guaranteed passage of the landmark 1964 civil rights legislation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction of New Testament Cathedral's multimillion-dollar crystal sanctuary is complete. Pastor Samantha Cleaveland is credited with building the magnificent edifice in spite of her grief over the death of her husband, the mega church's former beloved pastor, Hezekiah T. Cleaveland. Los Angeles and the world are ready to celebrate with Samantha and the New Testament family. Samantha is the reigning queen and celebrated minister of the gospel; however, conspiring in the background are the people whose lives she has left in shambles in her shameless pursuit of power. Samantha thought she had killed Danny St. John during a botched blackmail attempt, but he has returned to avenge the death of Hezekiah, the only man he ever truly loved. Danny has enlisted the help of Gideon Truman, a reporter who would like nothing more than to expose Samantha as a murderer to further his journalism career. Cynthia Pryce continues her tireless efforts to bring down Samantha as well, so that her husband can become head pastor. The emotionally fragile Scarlett Shackelford is struggling to maintain her sanity while she fights to prevent Samantha from luring away her husband. A star-studded party hosted by Samantha at the Cleaveland estate in Bel Air is the culmination of a month of celebrations marking the completion of the cathedral. The wounded band of coconspirators is present at the elegant affair, ready to strike against their enemy. Precise timing, absolute secrecy, and unfettered hate are the elements that must be in place for their plan to succeed. Will Samantha be able to deliver her victory speech, or will her enemies have the final say? The intense drama comes to a head in this final installment of Terry E. Hill's popular Sunday Morning Trilogy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The triumphant story of beloved golfer Phil Mickelson and the years of grit and tireless work that lead to his success, packed with personal insights and never-before-seen photos. Every year, he came so close only to fall short. Every year, the dream grew larger, only to fade away. Yet every year, his gallery of fans grew in support of his quest. Then, on April 11, 2004, for the most beloved golfer of the decade, everything changed. It is a moment ingrained in the hearts and minds of millions, a moment of epic triumph and destiny fulfilled that will be remembered for the ages. But for Phil Mickelson, winning the 2004 Masters was merely another step in an odyssey that began many years ago. Born into a sporting family, with a putter drawn on his birth announcement, Phil knew early on that golf would always be his passion. His parents embraced and nurtured that dream, but they taught him that winning isn't everything. In One Magical Sunday, Phil Mickelson takes us on a magical journey inside a life few have seen up close, but a life whose lessons can be cherished forever. As we travel hole-by-hole through that triumphant Sunday at the Masters, Phil looks back at the influences that made him the man he is today: his mom and dad, who mentored him on the balance between family and golf; his wife, Amy, who has given him so much happiness and fulfillment; and their three children, who remain their top priority. With personal insights from Phil's family and never-before-seen photos of his most treasured moments, One Magical Sunday is a book not only for Phil's millions of fans, but for everyone who finds inspiration in reading about a champion on and off the course.
