When you are faced with a struggle or a challenge, you can always turn to Epictetus for guidance and inspiration.

In her selfishness, she betrays old friends from the projects and is then taken in by Sister Souljah, a crusader for change in the ghetto. When she is finally turned into the child welfare authorities and sent to an adolescent home for girls, Winter continues her "hustles," taking advantage of the other girls. This quest involves a great deal of creative thought and action and a wild ride of criminal activity. Interested only in her own well-being, Winter virtually abandons her mother and sisters, to embark upon an all out effort to find a means to regain her former lifestyle. When her father's "empire" collapses, he is arrested for a variety of felonies, and all family possessions are seized, leaving the five females in the family to fend for themselves. Even a move to a mansion in Long Island does not remove Winter from her ghetto culture and principles, for there is not positive, active parenting on the part of either parent. With a mother who was more a sister than an appropriate mother role model, Winter came into adolescence a shallow, self-centered, amoral individual, motivated solely by material possessions, physical attractiveness, and the desire to attract as many men as possible, preferably with plenty of money. She grows up in the projects of Brooklyn, along with three younger siblings, insulated from her father's "business" and indulged in every way. On one of the coldest and snowiest days in New York City, Winter Santiaga is born to a fourteen-year old mother and drug kingpin father, Ricky Santiaga.

They were called lengthman's houses because the occupant was responsible for looking after a particular length of the canal. Extract "The circular stone building to the left of the canal bridge at Cerney Wick is one of five lengthman's houses built along the course of the canal in 1790. Each walk is accompanied by an OS map and illustrations of points of interest, as well as notes and fact boxes on points of archaeological and geographical interest. Practical details such as bus routes, tea rooms and accommodation are also provided. Steane has made life easy for casual walkers by breaking the hike into 17 manageable sections, which are then divided into shorter segments, so the book contains walks suited to all ages and abilities. She brings similar expertise and enthusiasm to this latest title, devoted to a 174-mile walk on Roman ways that form a triangle from Chesterton in Oxfordshire, Cirencester in Gloucestershire, and on to Silchester, a Roman walled town in Hampshire, finishing at the Roman military fort at Alchester. By Clover Stroud of the Sunday Telegraph The Roman Way By Elaine Steane (Reardon Publishing) Elaine Steane is a keen rambler whose previous book focused on the Seven Shires Way, a 234-mile walk in central England. McGrath, of the famed green-and-orange silks, who’d been born dirt-poor but, after winning $105,000 in a single night in a New York gambling house, started a Thoroughbred farm that went on to become one of the most famous of its time. Purchased by a wealthy horse breeder, he learned the art and science of groomsmanship, and was eventually hired by J.P. In fact, black jockeys would dominate the sport in the south for another thirty years, winning 15 of the first 28 Derbies.Īristides’ trainer, Ansel Williamson, had been born a slave in rural Virginia. Thirteen of the fifteen jockeys surrounding him as they thundered down the home stretch were also African-American. McGrath, a diminutive, tough, whip-thin African-American jockey named Oliver Lewis, weighing little more than a hundred pounds, careened to the first Kentucky Derby victory on a chestnut Thoroughbred with a white blaze and two white socks named Aristides. On May 17, 1875, under blue skies and wearing the flapping green-and-orange silks of his legendary employer J.P. "Once my character and I have reached an understanding," she explains, "then I begin the detective work-reading old books, old letters, old newspapers, and visiting the places where my subject lived. In her role as biographer, Jean Fritz researches the past like a journalist, attempting to uncover the adventures and personalities behind each character featured in her books. Since then, her refreshingly informal historical biographies for children have been widely acclaimed as "unconventional," "good-humored," "witty," "irrepressible," and "extraordinary." Generally people don't bother to speak to me unless there's a good chance that I'll take them on." Throughout almost four decades of writing about history, Jean Fritz has taken on plenty of people, starting with George Washington in The Cabin Faced West (1958). A character in history will suddenly step right out of the past and demand a book. "The question I am most often asked," Jean Fritz says, "is how do I find my ideas? The answer is: I don't. Her evocative descriptions, observational humor, and talent at rendering romantic scenes will earn her many fans. Could Lainie actually make a life in this little hick town? Or will the past catch up to her even here in the middle of nowhere?Ĭathleen Armstrong pens a debut novel filled with complex, lovable characters making their way through life and relationships the best they can. A single mom running her diner and worrying over her teenage son. An old church lady who always has room for a stranger. Yet in spite of herself, Lainie finds that she is increasingly drawn in to the dramas of small town life. These people are entirely too nice, too accommodating, and too interested in her personal life for Lainie's comfort-especially since she's on the run and hoping to slip away unnoticed. But as she encounters the people who make Last Chance their home, it's her heart that is flashing bright red warning lights. The red warning light on her car dashboard drove Lainie Davis to seek help in the tiny town of Last Chance, New Mexico. |
