"This book had the soul of our grandmother's stories, and you can recognize the wistfulness of wanting to change back time, to get back some years....to not have life be full of regrets." -Leila Tualla, Author of Love Defined Seventy-six-year-old Emma Lee Baker has lived a seemingly ordinary life near the banks of Thomas Bay, but a shocking discovery turns her ordinary life into something altogether extraordinary.

Those fears come full circle when she returns to Barrow County to visit her mother, never knowing that her journey home will become a journey of a lifetime. Twenty-three-year-old Lorraine has hedged her bets on three things: love, butterflies, and the fact that she's a white woman.

The hard truths force her to seek out a fresh start - far from the life she thought she knew - but that new life will not be without its share of perils.

"In the Shoes of the Customer: Simple Customer Service Solutions for a Complex World" is an engaging look at what has happened to Customer Service in North America and how it can be improved. Author George Olds challenges the notion that customer service is a complex process. It debunks the "The customer is always right" myth, and takes a "return to the basics" point of view. Written in a fun, learn-by-doing manner, it proposes 3 simple solutions to satisfying customers' needs, namely: - Be AWARE, - Show you CARE, and - Do your SHARE - to meet or exceed customers' needs on each and every interaction. Readers are shown the 3 solutions, and are given 5 easy tools to deliver them - consistently - to help businesses get happy, satisfied, repeat customers. The author suggests replacing needlessly complex processes with the simple things that service providers can and should do to: determine needs (become AWARE), demonstrate concern about those needs (show you CARE), and explain what they're doing to satisfy those needs (do your SHARE). The 3 solutions and 5 tools are vividly illustrated with personal real-life stories, anecdotes and examples that demonstrate low-cost options that help people deliver effective customer service - by putting themselves in the customers' shoes. It addresses sales techniques that flow naturally from good customer service, for example how effective questioning (and, of course, listening for the answers) can pinpoint needs quickly and lead to a sale. It concludes with "The Customers' Bill Of Rights: Ten Things Your Customers Want And Deserve (But Probably Aren’t Getting)".

Bob Dix’s father, actor Richard Dix, was one of America’s best loved movie stars in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. His stardom put young Bob in the limelight and opened the door for an acting career. But being the child of a famous person is different and not easy. The public has an impression of who you are. It is a challenge to discover the true you as opposed to the image that exists in the minds of many. Bob has brought into focus what he believes is the key to inner peace and serenity for people of any age interested in the meaning of “life”: the life portrayed as an Actor in Hollywood, or the life we create for ourself on our own personal stage, the stage of life. The inner life of a character must be found and connected to the inner life of the Actor. Knowing the true self must be clear so the reflected life is clear. Knowing who you are–not what you do–is very important for you and any character in a story. Bob’s years of life in Hollywood will give you a guiding light so you may twinkle as a star! Bob Dix has appeared in over 80 movies and television shows.

True friendship is hard to find. My father, Richard Dix, a movie star, said to me, “A man is lucky to have two good friends in life.” He spoke of the kind of friendship I have shared with Bud Cardos since 1965. After many sessions reminiscing with Bud for this book, I share with you Bud’s life story and our tales of working together in Hollywood; our collective ups and downs, successes and failures. Bud and I endorse the Dix slogan, “There are no strangers, only friends we have not met yet.” So laugh and enjoy; and keep the wind at your back. Robert Dix, author

There have been five black ballerinas that have made a noticeable mark in the world of ballet. Five that have fought to have the world see their talent rather than the color of their skin. Each has graced the stage as soloist and/or principal dancer. Precious Blue Johnson is set to become one of them. Precious Blue Johnson, young, country and naive, from Lutts County, Georgia, is traveling to the energizing city of New York to search for her birth father and perhaps make history by becoming the first black ballerina. Her simple mocha skin and thick lips will put her in the center of a movement, expose secrets and unlock the past as she steps onto the stage as the Blue Butterfly. She will be guided by the vivacious and wise Ms. Ann and fall in love with the alluring Ray Silvers. Ray brings the whole package. Enchanting eyes, a bright future as a doctor, and a willingness to love completely. To Precious, he is perfect. Except Ray’s package includes his deadly past. Will their love survive the one person who could end it all—his drug-addicted mother?
