A famous violinist playing with a great orchestra had the misfortune to break his A-string in the middle of his performance. He met this challenge by drawing upon his reserves of knowledge and skill, and with these at his command, he finished the performance playing on only three strings. Few if any in the audience knew of the broken string. The violinist carries on to success despite the problem. And so it is in life. Behind every face is a problem - often unknown to others. Using uplifting stories and wise counsel, Mr. Tippett helps us find strength to overcome these hurdles in life....To Soon To Quit will make a difference in your life. --- from book's back cover

Too soon to quit: Patterns to clear life's hurdles

Tippett, Harry Moyle

Maybe he should have said no. This case… it isn’t what he bargained for. He didn’t want this. He wasn’t ready for what it’s become. It should have been just another case, a final ‘hurrah’ before retirement and days spent fishing. No mistakes they said. Maybe they see him as expendable… a scapegoat should things go wrong. Maybe he was a fool to believe he had secured away the pain and that time had healed the wounds. But he can’t let her down. He can’t fail… not again. The heat in New Orleans is intense along the water’s edge. Swamps and bayous mark the city—a city of division. Megan Callahan is the city’s top criminal defense attorney. Her aggressive courtroom tactics have garnered her no love within the NOPD. Detective Albert Harris is a man for whom injustice became personal four years ago. He blames the system. He blames defense attorneys. He blames himself. When Megan crosses Harris’ justice line, she becomes first an enemy, and then his responsibility. From behind her cast-iron persona, Megan silently fights demons, while pursuing love in unconventional ways. When that quest leads to a bloody betrayal, it will shake both Megan and Harris’ polarized worlds. The line between personal and professional lives blurs as Megan faces demons she thought she had banished and Harris confronts fears he never knew he had. The truth he seeks, and the truth that seeks him, is buried deep within her wounded heart. With Megan trapped in a whirlpool of fear, compassion trumps bitterness as Harris becomes her lifeline of hope and she… his path to redemption.

No tears: Living with familial dysautonomia

Arnstein, Shirley Young

World War I is generally regarded as "The War to End All Wars," and involved these world powers: Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and the United States. Not so well known are the politics that went on behind the scenes. The leaders of the oppressed nations of Eastern Europe worked for years to convince the world powers that it was the right time and opportunity to acquire independence for minority peoples who had suffered for centuries under the heels of German and Austro-Hungarian rule. Among those fleeing the tyranny of this regime were the Slovaks, whose culture, language, and educational opportunities were severely suppressed. 
Slovak immigrants who settled in America and considered Binghamton as their new home did not forget their roots. They were eager to assist in acquiring independence for Slovakia, Moravia, and Bohemia. They recruited Slovak young men to become legionnaires in a Slovak unit to fight in Europe, and they also undertook a project to raise money to send to Slovakia to help the burgeoning new democracy. 
This book was written by a corps of dedicated men and women, and compiled by Imrich Mazar, in order to credit the donors who contributed to the formation of the new nation of Czechoslovakia. Since it was written in Slovak, it became a project for Wilhelmina Mazar Satina, daughter of Imrich Mazar, to have the book translated into English. The resulting history of these Binghamton Slovaks is a valuable and absorbing book for historians, and particularly for the descendants of the writers and donors of this history in tracing their ancestors’ lives and activities. The book is truly a treasure of history, written while it was being lived from the years 1879 to 1919.
