The Ancestors and Descendants of John Lewis Benson and His Sisters and Brother

After being reared in Chautauqua County, New York, John Lewis Benson's father, William, took him to Rock Island County, Illinois, following his daughters who had already made the migration.

All Desires Known
Forbidden desires. A mind in fragments. A shocking act of violence. When Martin Darrow, the respected chaplain at Wharton public school, discovers that a new pupil is the son of his sadistic childhood abuser, he is tormented by a thirst for revenge.

The Silent Invasion
The United States is invaded by thousands of immigrants each year, who arrive by air, boat and by individuals crossing our very porous borders. Most are illegal. Every effort by the government to create protective legislation or to bolster the coast guard, border patrols and visa controls is stopped by politicians who need the votes and contributions from business who value the illegal workers' cheap production. This story follows the lives of several immigrants, legal and illegal, living in Texas and California. Carl Casquale, a young dentist, and his shady brother, Eddy, have a dark secret. Bill Caleho is a rising architect building Carl's dream home. Bill is in love with the breathtakingly beautiful Dallas Diez, a smart young lawyer. Their lives, loves, businesses and political involvements could come crashing down around them all if the secret is revealed.

Zhang Sanfeng Taijiquan amongst all forms is unique, practicing in only one singular direction, following the rotation of the earth, the direction of the winds, the turning of the stars, and the shapes of the planets.

By observing and practicing Daoist taijiquan, the roundness of the universe is then integrated, the self its reflection, becoming one"--
