Out of the Darkness Into Light
America's first blind professional fisherman, Mike Lorance shares the intimate details of his amazing life, from the national acclaim he garnered for saving a family of four from drowning while he was a child to learning to cope with the personal and professional challenges of going blind. His successes and failures and eventual peace within his life are shared here in his own words.
The Shooting of Nancy Howard
Nancy Howard’s story combines love, betrayal, conspiracy, suffering, and survival with a cast of improbable characters: a respected church-going husband and his mistress, a group of unsavory criminals, and a millionaire businessman. The story opens with Nancy’s returning home from a church function on a Saturday night in 2012, and pulling into her garage. As she walks toward the door to her house, she suddenly faces an attacker who demands her purse and then shoots her in the head. Investigation of the shooting first reveals that Nancy’s husband, Frank, has been having a three-year affair. A few days later, detectives uncover links between her CPA husband and an unsavory criminal in East Texas, Billie Earl Johnson. The story becomes increasingly bizarre as evidence surfaces of a murder-for-hire conspiracy between Billie and Frank, known to Billie only by his first name, John.
Transcendentalism and the Cultivation of the Soul
American Transcendentalism is often seen as a literary movement—a flowering of works written by New England intellectuals who retreated from society and lived in nature. In Transcendentalism and the Cultivation of the Soul, Barry M. Andrews focuses on a neglected aspect of this well-known group, showing how American Transcendentalists developed rich spiritual practices to nurture their souls and discover the divine. The practices are common and simple—among them, keeping journals, contemplation, walking, reading, simple living, and conversation. In approachable and accessible prose, Andrews demonstrates how Transcendentalism's main thinkers, Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller, and others, pursued rich and rewarding spiritual lives that inspired them to fight for abolition, women's rights, and education reform. In detailing these everyday acts, Andrews uncovers a wealth of spiritual practices that could be particularly valuable today, to spiritual seekers and religious liberals.
Descendants of John and Anna Myers Brubaker
John Brubaker (ca. 1750-ca. 1825) was born in Germany and probably immigrated to America as a boy with his parents. He married Anna Myers, daughter of Jacob Meyer, in 1774, in Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They had eight children, 1775-1794. The family migrated to Franklin County, Virginia, ca. 1789; and moved to Botetourt County, Virginia, ca. 1804. Descendants lived in Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, California, and elsewhere.
