The early eighties was a turbulent time in Texas. The real estate industry was on the greatest boom since the discovery of oil. The boom attracted more than the usual number of men looking for their fortune. They wanted it all. The big house, the fine cars, Savile Row suits, trips to Europe and to accompany all this the trophy wife. Young, gorgeous, well trained in the art of manipulation. In the lower rungs of this society the men wanted the same things. They were willing to do anything to have it. Into this boiling pot a young widow was tossed. She married out of love, never dreaming she was a trophy wife. Her husband had been on the fringes of this boom. He had friends in all the right places. She inherited these friends. Could she survive in a world she was not prepared for? Could she save her son and herself from greed, destruction and attempted murder? The betrayal of all she held dear?
This inspiring collection of stories tells of the hope and healing that come from contact between horses and people. Whether giving disabled riders a sense of freedom and mobility, healing wounds of childhood abuse, assisting with work, or simply riding trails with their human companions, horses bond with people in ways that change us for the better. The stories, contributed by people from all over the country and from all walks of life, introduce: Cholla, the horse who paints pictures; a veterinarian who was reminded of the importance of compassion by a dying horse and a Native American chief; Star, a horse who saved a teenage girl from suicide; the late-blooming rider who embarrassed a horse and learned an important lesson about respecting the feelings of others — even if they have four legs; and many others. Every horse lover knows that horses, whether running through fields or performing intricate dressage drills, carry not only their riders but also messages of unconditional love and hope.

Erik Hedling explores Anderson's entire output to examine how he contributed to a broadening of film narrative in Britain towards more radical forms, prefiguring thus the internationally acclaimed British art cinema of the 1980s.
"We are pleased to present to you a collection of Allen family genealogy. We have included primarily the families of William Allen and Caty Gearheart, Richard Allen and Edy Williams, George Allen and Cynthia Patton, James Allen and Nancy Louise Roberts, Samuel Patton Sr. and Elizabeth Allen, Isaac E. Allen and 1st wife Frances E. Pettit and 2nd wife Margaret Poplett ... Settlement of the Big Sandy, Licking and Kentucky River valleys was happening by 1800. By tracing the Allen generation on back before this date, we find that they lived in Virginia or North Carolina. By 1800 many of them began their westward movement into eastern Kentucky ... again we are reminded of the different 'sets' of Allens, such as the Floyd County set, the Breathitt County set, or the Morgan County- White Oak set; however it is believed but not fully proven that all the so-called 'sets' are really just branches of one family tree with a progenitor yet unproven"--Foreword, p. [4] in v. 1

One, a son named John Tollett (1757-1824), was born in Virginia. He married Margaret Brown and they moved to Tennessee and then to Arkansas. They were the parents of seven children. A number of their children and grandchildren eventually settled in Texas. Descendants live throughout the United States.
