Life is a journey;every traveler a story. My make-believe characters sometime come to me on tiptoe in the middle of the night, tapping on the door of my imgination; others barge in without knocking. Stories are everywhere waiting to happen. Threads of plots dangle from bits of conversation overheard at malls, in grocery store check-out lines...is Annie really going to marry Mark after being jilted by Raymond? A few of the stories are scenes from childhood years long ago. I am the little girl who truly felt the fires of Hell in ;The Tithing, the child whose rotten brother clued her in about Santa in That Christmas&amp; and the one who learned something about life and growing up in Dead Butterflies. My grandfather Archer is the hero in Anniversary Kiss. The tale was a legend in my family for all the time I can remember. Most of the other stories play around with familiar emotions from loneliness and love to fornication and forgiveness.

Newlyweds Richard and Emily Barton, like most others, faced hard times as they weathered the Great Depression in the flatland delta of rural Arkansas. Before their marriage in 1937, they had already struggled, Richard with a tough upbringing, and Emily with the loss of her husband, father of her two children—and both with extreme poverty. Now as the depression dragged on, the pair put their strong faith and their willing spirits together and changed their own fortunes and the course of an entire town. After a newspaper reporter brought national attention to the duck hunting preserve the Bartons had begun, hunters began writing to make reservations in such large numbers that more lodging and new duck blinds had to be built, dogs had to be trained—more work than the small Barton family could handle alone. With the help of Frenchie, a colorful Cajun ex-convict, the Bartons experienced success that they never dreamed of, and in reaching out, helped others gain self-respect and hope. But not everyone was happy about the enterprise. As the family extended kindness to others, there were some who disagreed with the way people from other cultures and colors were treated—some who had the means and the support to bring the Bartons’ growing success to a crashing halt. Shadows of the Past will take you into the lives of unforgettable characters who demonstrate the transformative power of faith in God and love for fellow man.

The goal of Alabama Roots is to provide biographies that are historically accurate and as interesting as the characters whose lives they explore. Emma Sansom was a Confederate Heroine.

Henry Aaron grew up in a Mobile, Alabama, neighborhood during a time when black men were not allowed to play major league baseball, and the only reason was the color of their skin. The teenage Aaron never was the best student. He got in trouble for skipping class. But he was a star at the local baseball diamond. He was so good that the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro League hired him when Aaron was just 17 years old. When the rules changed and black men were allowed to play in the big leagues, Aaron was one of the first black men to be hired. And he wasn’t just good. He was great. Before he retired, he hit more home runs than any other player in the history of major league baseball.
