Years ago I lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina, across the street from a family with two daughters. The older one, even then, possessed strong and unique opinions. We moved away. After I retired, I wrote two books, one set on Topsail Island, and the other set in Jacksonville. In 2004 I had a book booth at Topsail Island SunFest, and lo and behold, the oldest daughter introduced herself. She, too, was retired she had written a book. Thus began a collaboration that has endured until this day. When I started Righter Monthly Review in 2008, I asked her to write an advice column. She wrote enough ribald columns to fill a book, and here they are. Please meet Miss. Minerva P. Shaw!!! E. B. Alston August 23, 2013

When Carla Shuford was dealt a major blow when she lost her left leg at the age of fifteen, she didn’t say “pity me”, or “I can’t do it.” Instead, she carried on with determination and the love and support of her parents, hard-working farmers who lived in the mountains of North Carolina. Carla’s stories and poems, and the various materials included here will tell you of her life, her interests, and her passions."I have just finished Carla's bio. What a memorable, enlightening book! Many stories by Carla and her poetry. Carla has always been a shining star, but now that star is brighter than ever. You will all love it!"Suellen Kaltenhacher, Hannah More Academy, Class of 1960, to her fellow classmates."Rita Berman captures Carla perfectly: in her stories, her ever ready and sometimes wicked wit, her travels and travails, her origins and the difference they've made in what and who she cares for and about, and living fully with a disability that would have leveled the most stalwart. Berman's biography, like Carla, evokes laughter, tears, amazement and a fuller heart." Lynn Knauff, NC."Still Hopping, Still Hoping is a delight. I did not know Carla was so distinguished. Rita Berman has done a superb job with this biography." Larry Cramer, Chapel Hill, NC "The book is interesting, inspiring, educational on several levels, and above all brings admiration to Carla for her character and personality, spirit and compassion for others, and a productive life of work, service, adventure, and accomplishments." Don Holloway, Chapel Hill, NC“National treasures, of which Carla is one, need to be marvelously described. Rita Berman has done that.Nancy Ringgold, Hannah More Academy, Class of 1960. "After a long morning at the Carrboro Farmers' Market, I came home Saturday afternoon and read this book in one sitting, cover to cover. It is a true page-turner.” Farmer Michael Brinkley. “ In these beautiful and touching stories from her life, Carla lays out some essential elements of long-term survival - wit, grace, steel and a healthy dose of enduring love and support from family, friends and health professionals. Rita Berman has done a masterful job of writing them in such a way as to capture Carla's indomitable spirit.”Sheila Judge Santacroce, Associate Professor and Co-Director, T32 Managing Chronic Illness,School of Nursing/408 Carrington.

This book is the story of the Rea Family that came to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 1763 and 1764 after the end of the French and Indian War. For 250 years the family has grown and flourished in this same area that was settled by our ancestors. As new land to the west was opened for settlement, many left to take part in the westward migration. Over a period of years the old family ties were broken and other generations did not know that they ever existed. This book was written to tell the story of our history to our new generations and to give them a sense of ownership in that heritage. For the descendants of those that moved west, it is written to encourage you to re-discover your North Carolina roots and to be aware of the history that is yours.

Nothing in Sylvia Browning’s childhood suggested that she would ever move outside her comfort zone. She grew up living close to nature in a small town in eastern Arizona. Her physician father and nurse mother were loving and fun. At the age of twenty-one, she came to faith in Christ. After marrying and raising two children, by an unexpected turn of events she came face to face with a world of human beings she labeled ‘throw-away’ people. For the next twenty-five years, she worked to improve the lives of released offenders (prison inmates). She gave them her real name when she was cautioned to use an alias . . . gave them her home address when she was advised prison mail should be delivered to a post office box. And, she picked up many at prison gates taking them into her home.
