Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old sayings, idioms and synonyms are as Americana as apple pie. They are a part of our history and culture. "My Grandma's Old Sayings from A to Z and More" is a collection of over 800 old sayings and their meanings, that took the author five years to collect. Growing up in a small southern town in the 1950s and 60s, old sayings were a way of communicating. Although, times were hard, people didn't complain. It was a time when people said what they meant and meant what they said. They loved their neighbors. When a neighboring family hurt, all families hurt. When ask how things were going, the answer was always "fair to middling". When they parted ways at the end of the day, it was always "I'll see you tomorrow if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". The author's grandma was a God-fearing woman who was full of joy. She loved to talk and old sayings were part of her everyday conversations. She had a saying for every situation, for good times and bad times. The "And More" at the end of the book is food for thought. There are fun words and phrases, do's and don'ts, sayings for good luck, sayings for bad luck, superstitions and little words with big meanings. Also, learn how people loved old sayings using body parts. Now, you can join the conversation and have fun! Remember the old saying, "to make an omelet, you'll have to crack some eggs."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My grandmother IS a force to be reckoned with. I say IS because whether she's here on earth in the flesh, or up in Heaven with God, Jesus, the angels and the other family members that have preceded her in death, she will FOREVER be present and alive through me and her descendants. One day while sitting in church, as the pastor asked us to turn to a scripture in the Bible; I noticed she had a photo of me when I was five (5) years old tucked in between the pages of her Bible. When I asked her to turn back and let me take a look, she just shrugged off my gesture and shushed me so we could hear the pastor's sermon. Over the years, I would wonder I why I could never get away with the things that most people could get away with. Over the years, I realized it was because my grandmother ensured the Lord's hedge of protection was covering me, all the days of my life. This book is dedicated to her and all of the grandmothers, grandma's, nana's, madear, madea's and every other name of love we give them for it is because of their love for us, that many of us stay on the path of righteousness. To my momma. Thank you and I will forever and always love you and even though I never bought you that house I always wanted too, your memory and your wisdom will live on forever. Your last words to me were "I wouldn't trade you for your weight in gold". Thank you for ensuring I KNEW you knew who I was and ensuring your last words to me were the phrases and testimonies of love you had always given me. May this book bring a smile to your face as you reminisce on my grandmother's wisdom, jokes, sayings, remedies, and the other southern colloquiums that have been shared from generation to generation from our grandmothers, grandfathers, and family members over the years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evocative narrative draws us into the inner life of a young Chinese peasant girl, May-ping, and her first glimmerings of youthful love and idealism under the Maoist regime in China. As she grows into a mature woman, she becomes increasingly aware of the strife around her. An intelligent girl born into a Poor-Class family in a small village in rural China, she is, because of the Maoist policy towards such families, able to pursue her dream of going to university. To her surprise, urban snobbery and “student thought-spying” at university make it essential for her to hide her real thoughts. Such self-protection becomes especially necessary once her idealistic boyfriend Dan — a secret boyfriend because young people were forbidden to be romantically involved — is sent to a labour camp for his outspoken ways. In her village, she learns that everything has value except the lives of girls and women. One of her childhood friends, a landowner’s daughter who because of her family’s Landlord Class, is not allowed to go to university drowns herself when forced to face an arranged marriage. Hua-Hua, a shy and gentle neighbour, hangs herself after her husband beats her brutally for not bearing him a son. May-ping manages to survive the Cultural Revolution as a member of the Communist party who feels outside the system and keeps her inner self intact. Her story reveals how political change during the Maoist regime left its mark on ordinary people. Employing stories within stories, the narrator carries the reader to a mythological realm to images of the resilient water lilies and the nurturing lily pond.

What color would a horse be If it were up to YOU?"
