Anthony Henderson presents The Old Ones
T is enslaved, but his soul is his own. God, the Devil nor any master can lay claim to it as he moves through his world with a fierce confidence and steely resolve . When a personal awakening compels him to carve a family out of his unimaginable pain, into his embrace comes a woman plagued by mental illness borne of torture and rape and a man who tried to keep his faith in God no matter what he saw and felt. They experience revelations about spiritual and sexual identities that are hard fought and ultimately life affirming. In the end they navigate the horrors of bondage to create a family for which there was no blueprint.

Peter McBride presents Dropping In On the Waves of Life
Young adults will find that these true stories, some related to surfing, serve as a “wake up call” for what’s ahead and how (and how not) to handle matters – from first love’s joys along with that broken heart to coping with bullies to developing self-confidence…and more! Older adults will find the stories cause them to ruminate and reevaluate previous experiences. Teachers will find the book a valuable resource and great discussion starter and writing prompt.
Dropping In on the Waves of Life is written with love and care – love for this life’s time which we all share, and care that others can avoid the potential pitfalls which will confront them - as they join others in the thrill of living each day.
