Finding Daisy
In 1976, an innocent letter from Kathy Marshall asking her paternal grandmother, Daisy Dooley Marshall Schumake, what their family lineage was, led Kathy on a four decades-long search for their family roots. Finding Daisy: From the Deep South to the Promised Land, is the third in a series of books addressing that genealogy question.But why would Grandma Daisy tell her family she was born in St. Louis, then migrated to the Promised Land Up North when she actually came from the Deep South, where pre-Civil War plantations and slavery society were the norm? Although the bread crumb trail to grandma's true history was obscured, Kathy finally picked up the tasty clues that led her to the truth. She learned how Daisy was able to navigate Jim Crow to become a well-respected businesswoman, nurse, civic leader, church trustee, fundraiser, wife, mother, and grandmother. The flip side was shedding a bright light on Daisy's beast and the last years of her remarkable life.
Portraits & Sculptures
Sébastian de Ganay's almost life-sized full body portraits consist of his trademark folds of plastic that literally create waves of relief--there is a balanced push-pull, background-foreground figure effect that is supported by the luminous white void on which all the figures float. They sometimes read as sculptures. On the other hand, the walls, cubes, cylinders and circles of de Ganay's sculptures, with their bright car-paint monochromes and curved or straight geometric picture planes, foreground their viewers almost like the figures in his portraits against their white voids. They sometimes read as paintings. This comprehensive full-color volume of de Ganay's portraits and sculptures includes an essay on his work, as well as an interview with the artist.

This innovative method for structuring a screenplay is designed to keep writers focused on the heart and soul of their story so that plot, character and theme create a unified whole. Marks' method offers an easy to follow template for story construction, helping the writer to identify what the story is actually about: the thematic intention. It then uses the internal character development of the protagonist as a vehicle to drive the thematic intention and the line of action within the story.
