Our Remarkable Journey

The Descendant
As World War II draws to a close in Europe, a lone German submarine slips past Allied forces and makes its way to the southeastern coast of the United States. There, under the cover of darkness, a coterie of fugitives from Germany's Third Reich slips ashore and proceeds to a safe haven in the southern U.S. The story jumps ahead 50 years, and the Senior Senator from Alabama is now poised to become the most powerful man in the world, the President of the United States. But, an anonymous e-mail to the Washington-based Public Service Institute (PSI), casts a shadow over the candidate's true identity. "He's not what he seems," the message warns. "The answer is in Elberta, Alabama." The Executive Director of PSI is Will Donovan, a lawyer and former Alabama State Senator. Donovan is puzzled, but he follows his instincts. The answer to what is in Elberta? he asks. Donovan and his colleagues-a former FBI agent, a retired Army general, a savvy political activist and the daughter of a political icon-lead the covert search. They uncover a tangled web of deception, international conspiracy and assassinations-all supporting this ruthless grab for power.
An Emotional Gauntlet
A moving account of the lives of one diverse WWII American aircrew, “filled with humor, chaos, horror, and tragedy” (The Freeport Journal-Standard). In this book, Stuart J Wright tells the gripping story of a World War II American aircrew flying missions from Old Buckenham, England in a B-24 Liberator bomber they nicknamed Corky, based on years of research and correspondence with crew members and their families. Wright adds a dimension rarely explored in other World War II memoirs and narratives, beginning the chronicle during peacetime when the men of the aircrew are introduced as civilians—kids during the 1920s. As they mature through the years of the Great Depression to face a world...

John Craxton
Uplifting and engaging, this story recounts the life and career of a rebellious 20th-century British artist Born into a large, musical, and bohemian family in London, the British artist John Craxton (1922-2009) has been described as a Neo-Romantic, but he called himself a "kind of Arcadian". His early art was influenced by Blake, Palmer, Miró, and Picasso. After achieving a dream of moving to Greece, his work evolved as a personal response to Byzantine mosaics, El Greco, and the art of Greek life. This book tells his adventurous story for the first time. At turns exciting, funny, and poignant, the saga is enlivened by Craxton's ebullient pictures. Ian Collins expands our understanding of the artist greatly--including an in-depth exploration of the storied, complicated friendship between Craxton and Lucian Freud, drawing on letters and memories that Craxton wanted to remain private until after his death.
Before I Go: Personalities of Shelby County
This book contains a lot of history about East Texas and Shelby County in particular. Many of the people lived quite peaceful lives. And the truth is if it wasn't for these stories, the only place you would be reading about many of them would be in the obituaries.
