The Story Of A Man
Marvin A. Hayes
About the Book
The Story Of A Man is a collection of poems that express emotions of love, pain, laughter, wisdom and self-reflection. Poetry has always been a passion of mine and it later became the avenue to express the memory of the comings and goings of my existence. This is the reason why I chose the title, “”The Story Of A Man.”” Many of the poems were written during my years in undergrad. My college years came and went; however years later I contemplated publishing them. It was then I decided to begin the journey to publish the story of my life.When thinking about the book cover and what I wanted to express to the reader, I chose to use my drawing of Muhammad Ali. Ali is one of my favourite hero’s and a poet himself. In fact the first poem in the book is about Muhammad Ali, a man with an amazing story of struggle and triumph. I selected his picture in hope of attracting the attention of readers who understand each person has an individual story. Just like Ali we all too may experience struggles, pain, and triumph. This book also includes photos that show that my life has been very full.
The photos in the book include pictures of my wife of 50yrs. Mrs. Geraldine Elaine Robinson Hayes, and our legacy which includes my two older children and our five children which makes for 30 grandchildren. I hope that each reader enjoys the poems and pictures and it encourages them to embrace the story of their own life.

The final section, “Animals with Attitudes”, features four humorous mini-plays with animals (elephants, lions, housecats, and rhinoceroses) taking on Jewish characteristics and even speaking some Yiddish (translations provided).

Lessons from Life
Phoolmatee Dubay
About the Book
The book is about the adversities the author experienced resulted from using and abusing drugs and alcohol which led to a diagnosis of a mental illness. The author explored her darkness from using drugs to experiencing her nervous breakdowns. If overcoming meant not using, she didn’t know or realize this until years later. She would go on to discover the support of friends and family members through their love, care, concern, and compassion for her. As the author accepted help, she learnt to give help to others as well. The author experienced changes, and it is her aim to share in these experiences as learning experiences. She found out that the effects of using and abusing drugs and alcohol caused addictions, nervous breakdowns, and led to a diagnosis of a mental illness called schizoaffective disorder. After her diagnosis, it took years for her to realize that using wasn’t right for her because it destroyed her mental health, but she did change by quitting the abuse of drugs and alcohol so to improve her mental health and well-being. The author didn’t do it by herself because she had the support of friends and family members that held her up even when she was down and picked her up when she needed their help. And this will be shown in the poems she has written for her potential readers.About the Author

While she discovered how to deal with life as she wrote in her poem, “I Deal With Life”. You may wonder how and why because as she wrote, “I couldn’t see life for what it was; therefore how could I accept it for what it is?” She would go one to state, “When I didn’t know I had doubts but now I have answers. This doesn’t mean that doubts are gone because I still need answers. Even while looking at life differently.” -

A Parent's Help-source on Sexual Assault
Christine A. Golder
About the Book
Finally, there is a handbook for parents who have had to face the horrendous ordeal of their child’s sexual assault. Most of the current literature focuses on prevention. This book is specifically to help parents in the aftermath of the assault as it is typical for parents to feel as victimized and powerless as their child. The crisis precipitates a disequilibrium that reverberates throughout the family and can have long-reaching effects unless the members seek help. The initial phase of discovery is the most crucial and how parents react toward their child at first hearing of the assault plays an important role in how the child is able to handle the crisis from that time forward.
After an introductory chapter which examines the scope of the problem, the second chapter discusses disclosure issues. It also explains what assault can entail; reactions and behavioral signals in child and adolescent victims. This chapter also discusses the perpetrator because parents often ask, “”What kind of person could do such a thing?”” The third chapter deals with issues around reporting and what to expect from the legal system. The fourth chapter focuses primarily on parental concerns, feelings and their important role in the recovery process. The fifth chapter suggests some ideas for moving beyond the personal crisis for those parents that want to do more.

The Chickadees
Poems
Hongvan Nguyen
About the Book
It was divided into three main parts in which the first part is about author’s life in the United State, the second is about thoughts and philosophical ideas, and the third part is about author’s life back in her homeland, Vietnam. Each part contains poems that describe events, situations and emotions or feelings accompanied to each of the poem. They include daily life’s small events such as going to shop, to school and to church to big events such as life-changing experiences of living under the North Vietnam’s communist regime. Emotions range from happy feelings due to pleasant living conditions in the US to sad and upset or angry feelings due to the poorness and oppressions resulted in bad economic conditions due to the ruling dictatorship of the communists. Somewhere in between the two opposite part I and III is part II in which there is a change in thoughts and ideas because it concentrates on some philosophy-related ideas and conception-related ideas. In short, author wants to show activities in two different life’s settings, one in her native country, Vietnam, and the other in her new, secondary country, the US.About the Author

Pharmacy in Bondage
Dr. Patrick Ojo
About the Book
We have specialists catering to every aspect of our life except the poison that we pump into our body as drugs; all specialists are in control of their destiny except pharmacists, who are treated like children in their supposed area of jurisdiction; pharmacists are overeducated, underutilized and marginalized medical practitioners; drugs are chemicals and chemicals are poisons. The drugs we pump into our body at dawn can send us to our grave at dusk instead of ameliorating our condition. It is in light of these facts that this book was written to buttress the plight of pharmacists, pharmacy profession and the need to liberate the profession from bondage for the benefit of mankind. The book depicts an accurate historical account of pharmacy, its bondage, subservience, topsy-turvy fame, service to humanity and awesome contribution to the healthcare system of US/World. It also elaborates the history and shortcomings of other branches of medicine. Dean Grossman of LIU School of Pharmacy, Drug Topics survey of drug manufacturing company executives, research studies in the book, study upon study, and others vindicated clinical pharmacists as drug experts or the most knowledgeable medical practitioners about drugs/medications in the medical field yet they have to obtain permission for drug usage from other branches of medicine that do not know as much about the profession as the practitioners. Something must be inherently wrong in a system that relegates or subjugates the best at the altar of tradition and societal indoctrination. These issues contained in the book were evident everywhere during my tour of the six habitable continents off the world (China and India in Asia, Nigeria in Africa, Australia, UK and France in Europe, Brazil in South America and US in North America). Pharmacy/pharmacist is a branch of medicine and not an errand boy of medicine.

Through the Valley of My Shadow
Jolainne BoRienne
About the Book
Through the Valley of My Shadow is a trilogy of stories that evolved from thirteen years of healing from childhood sexual abuse. It starts with a state of denial and numbness, represented by a symbolic mythical journey. The second level represents a more humanistic soul search until I was finally able to tell my story as it really happened in the third level. As such it honors both my psychological journey of healing and a deep spiritual healing as well.
