Troubled Souls
Troubled Souls is a story about frustrations, hopelessness, ignorance, injustice and the inability to be heard most of my life, no one would take the time to even listen. It's a story about pain and suffering and my quest for some sort of relief, as well as some sense of peace and understanding. This is about a family that was dysfunctional not only because of the social conditions but also because of the emotional poverty, selfishness and resentment. Most importantly a hopelessness that would run throughout the souls of each and everyone of my siblings as well as my environment. We would all become a product of our environment, an impoverished world of racism, violence, drugs, etc. A division that not only divided black and white but rich and poor. A plague that would reach all of America in one way or another. Troubled Souls is about lost values and dreams, a need to become numb to the injustice and unfairness, and to escape from within. I would turn to drugs and alcohol for many years, unable to live in my own skin, ashamed and afraid of reality.

Life Through the Seasons
There was a time when life seemed simple and not so complicated. In Life through the Seasons, author John Comer reflects on those times. In this personal memoir, he describes life through the eyes of a farm boy growing up in rural Missouri during the 1940s and 1950s. His family of eight two parents and six children lived from season to season, always preparing for the next. Comer tells of life before electricity, running water, and television, while describing his family's relationships, traditions, and values. Most importantly, he recounts how his modest upbringing contained all of the essential experiences for life, health, and happiness, which included Christian spirituality, honesty, respect, and hard work. In this evocative narrative, Comer has captured the flavor of the time and has brought it to life. Sometimes tried and tested, his family learned to value the troubling times as well as the good. Faith and determination formed the foundation of his being; Life through the Seasons illustrates those simpler times. This book has been enjoyed by people who grew up in the 40s and 50s. It makes a great gift at Christmas, birthdays and on Mother's and Father's Day.
