THIS is Where You Come From
What is going on? What has happened since we left? We are anguished because we don't recognize: The condition of the family, The condition of the church, The condition of schools and universities, The condition of the cities and neighborhoods, The condition of our beloved country, the United States of America. We are Tom and Tullos, and during our time on earth, we lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Deep South. We lived through some challenging times in America, growing up in the 1930s and 1940s and as adults raising a family in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. We departed in 1982 and 2002 respectively. In our feelings of anguish from our heavenly perch, we thought we should tell ya'll a few short stories. These stories were first intended for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren to let them know that the world doesn't define who they are. However, as we recollected the stories, we realized we loved beyond our own. So we thought we would share. Here are a few stories we believe should impact the things that anguish us, for such a time as this.
Running Away to Boston
There's always a way in... Jannie Miller finds people. The only person she can't find is her mother, who supposedly perished in a tornado, but is deep in hiding from Jannie's abusive father. When Jannie's ex-boyfriend, FBI agent Brent Mikkelson, hires Jannie to find Tanya Coleman, a young witness to a vicious murder, he unwittingly drags Jannie into the violence. Set in Los Angeles, Jannie soon suspects that Tanya might have more to her than anyone would guess. She's been working for Wheeling Corp., a think tank that only pretends to be benevolent. When Jannie gets too close, her mother comes out of hiding to warn Jannie off, but then accepts her daughter into the ragtag group of ethical computer hackers intent on bringing Wheeling down. It's not just Wheeling's unethical behavior. The group has discovered that the think tank is writing a virus that could bring the American economy to its knees. It's a race against time and a hired assassin, as Jannie comes to know a mother who never really abandoned her and faces a boyfriend who couldn't be there for her.
Quarterly Essay 47 Political Animal
Winner, 2013 John Button Prize Tony Abbott is the most successful Opposition leader of the last forty years, but he has never been popular. Now Australians want to know: what kind of man is he, and how would he perform as prime minister? In this dramatic portrait, David Marr shows that as a young Catholic warrior at university, Abbott was already a brutally effective politician. He later led the way in defeating the republic and, as the self-proclaimed “political love child” of John Howard, rose rapidly in the Liberal Party. His reputation as a head-kicker and hard-liner made him an unlikely leader, but when the time came, his opposition to the emissions trading scheme proved decisive. M...

Tony Abbott and the Times of Revolution
2021 REVISED EDITION The author intertwines three themes: the character of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott as displayed in his fearless no-holds battle with the far-left radicals at Sydney University (1976-1980); what it means to be a philosophical conservative in a leftist world; and the author’s critique of the student rebellion and the radicalism driving it.

In 2012, a passage in David Marr’s book POLITICAL ANIMAL: THE MAKING OF TONY ABBOTT caused uproar across Australia. Leftist Marr is an out-and-p...
