Road with Memories

They are separated into sections with the same titles as the foregoing themes, except for four stories put in a separate group titled Most Unforgettable Characters.The writer presents stories about men and women who struggle every day confronting their fears, facing life's harsh adversities, striving for a better life, often falling short, but always finding a way to survive. He writes about men and women who dream for things beyond their reach and are disillusioned, men and women who struggle to find love and to be loved but sometimes lose their way, men and women who struggle between hope and despair throughout their lives, clinging to a fine thread between.

Knowing the Facts about Dowsing and Water Dowsing
Dowsing is a practice employing divinatory implements and methods in order to search out information such as a site of water or the nature or location of disease and its proper treatment. Dowsing claims to work through a practitioner's natural sensitivity to nature's geomagnetic phenomena. The influence of dowsing is greater than most people realize and it is even used in the church. People may think that dowsing is harmless but the real dangers in this practice are exposed and a biblical evaluation is shown by the authors.
The John Graham Jr. Story
This is a story, buried in the archives of the past, about a young, unfledged teenager, John Graham Jr., who dreamt of becoming a digger on the Panama Canal like his father and who romanticized the experience as "the moving of mountains and the braving of swamps and jungles." To him it was going to be the greatest adventure that he looked forward to. When, in the year 1910, his father sent for him to come to Panama to join him, his dream came true, but not in the way that he had expected. In a period of only five short years after leaving home, his once untarnished and unblemished life was so deeply and so remarkably transformed that even his aunts Beulah and Sarah could not recognize him when he returned to Jamaica.
Songs and Stories of a Digger's Son
The plight of the so-called "West Indians" who came by the tens of thousands from the Caribbean islands to the wilder- ness of the Isthmus of Panama at the dawn of the twentieth century and who gave, in most cases, the last ounce of their strengths, and in many cases their lives, to help create the miracle of the Panama Canal, has always been a special and very dear subject to me. The disappearance of La Boca, Ca- nal Zone, as a West Indian town (like many other "silver" towns), and soon perhaps likewise its history as many who once lived there remember it, has provided for me the strongest incentive for writing this book, Songs and Stories of a Digger's Son.
