A storm cuts through the placid Oregon skies. Not a meteorological event-rather, an onslaught aimed at destroying the livelihood of dairy farmers across America. Standing in the bull's-eye is Derrick Josi, a fourth generation dairy farmer who has taken a stand against the lies, deceit, and personal attacks made by self-proclaimed activists across social media. This book offers readers a glimpse behind the curtain of a working dairy farm. Staying true to his charm and wit, Derrick does not shy away from sensitive topics. Rather, he presents reality in terms that are stark but sensitive?a balance as delicate as the lives for which he is responsible. This isn't just the story of one dairy farmer; it is the story of an industry worth defending.

Ron Young had what it takes to make a career in music. He had the talent, the songs, and the backing of a major label (Geffen). His band, Little Caesar, smashed their way onto the music scene-but then it all came crashing down. Ron's personal rise and fall began at the hands of an abusive mother. Music was his savior, and rays of hope shone through. However, that hope was ultimately destroyed under constant bad timing, bad luck, and people judging him by how he looked. Then came escape into a heroin addiction and the accompanying darkness. Finally, he found sobriety and a musical resurrection.

Through it all, Ron invites you to judge him by his actions, not by what you've heard. He urges you to take a closer look?and then judge this book by its cover.
