When Pam Johnson founded the Secret Society of Happy People, she never imagined the controversies that would follow. From taking on Ann Landers over the issue of holiday newsletters, through worldwide press coverage, a spirited debate on Politically Incorrect, and creating a dilemma for governors when she asked for proclamations for National Admit You're Happy Day, she chronicles the amusing and often surprisingly controversial adventures of the Secret Society of Happy People. She also identifies why people have become more comfortable complaining and whining or being chronically cranky, than they are expressing happiness. Finally, she presents a whole spectrum of happiness brought to life by her insightful stories as well as thoughtful and witty pieces by other writers.

Justice for Ella: A Story That Needed to Be Told

Based on actual events from Mississippi's Civil Rights Movement, Justice for Ella is a story of two women-one black, one white-who fought and won against seemingly insurmountable meanness. For Ella Gaston and Jewell McMahan, the fight was about justice, in a time and place when it was rarely bestowed on either black people or women. On a Sunday afternoon in 1959 in Shuqualak, Mississippi, Ella and her husband Nelse were arrested in front of their children and hauled off to the notorious Noxubee County Jail. The Gastons were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time-caught up in a manhunt for Nelse's cousin who had allegedly beaten up the city marshal. The court appearances and legal wrangling that followed resulted in Ella's being found guilty of intimidating an officer and the all-white Mississippi Supreme Court reversing and remanding her conviction on grounds of racial prejudice in testimony-a first. To avoid retrial, Ella and Jewell engaged in multiple cat-and-mouse games that placed Ella "sick" in the hospital, Jewell standing guard, and would-be tormenters at bay. Eventually, the women prevailed, Ella remained free, and the story faded away into obscurity-until now. Justice for Ella tells just one of hundreds of stories experienced by nameless foot soldiers who risked everything so that all Mississippians could live as first class citizens in the Land of the Free. It is a story that needed to be told.

Reading Rainbow is one of the most successful PBS children's series in television history, earning numerous national and international awards including 26 Emmys and a Peabody Award. But perhaps more important than anything else, Reading Rainbow helped generations of children cultivate a love for books.Reading Rainbow is very much a story of humble beginnings and enormous perseverance. Over five summers, Tony Buttino Sr. and his colleagues at WNED-TV, the public television station in Buffalo, New York, worked in collaboration with educators and librarians to experiment with summer reading programs. But after trialing these programs, the WNED team realized there was a big need for a new children's literacy series and believed they could create a new show with local and national collaborators and friends. After fits and starts, and enough twists and turns to fill a children's book, Reading Rainbow premiered in the summer of 1983 and captured the attention of 6.5 million young viewers. Creating Reading Rainbow explores the many intriguing and homespun stories that, when woven together, reveal how this groundbreaking and iconic television series came to be. What led to the series being called "Reading Rainbow"? How did the road to Reading Rainbow wind its way through Mister Rogers' Neighborhood? How did a public television station in Buffalo spearhead a movement in education and spark the passion for reading in millions of children? And, what does lasagna have to do with it?
