William Wallace Whidden was a true born free son of a Florida pioneer. He was reared in the SW Florida Palmetto woods, Cypress strands and Cabbage Palm Hammocks and plenty of Wild Oaks and Pine trees. His stories begin when he was around eight or nine years of age and continue through his late twenties. These stories are true events he experienced during his growing up years and reveal an innocent outlook on life with a terrific sense of humor. You will enjoy his many excursions and revel in their outcome. He always ended a story with a note of "lesson learned" or "we sure were glad to be home and safe again." His love of nature and living freely to hunt, fish, and run trap lines before fences was his idealistic life style. His innocent view of life shines through in each little story. The stories will bring a sense of pure joy to be living and breathing from the past, before Florida land was fenced off and "No Trespassing" signs were posted.

Troy Maxson is a strong man, a hard man. He has had to be to survive. Troy Maxson has gone through life in an America where to be proud and black is to face pressures that could crush a man, body and soul. But the 1950s are yielding to the new spirit of liberation in the 1960s, a spirit that is changing the world Troy Maxson has learned to deal with the only way he can, a spirit that is making him a stranger, angry and afraid, in a world he never knew and to a wife and son he understands less and less. This is a modern classic, a book that deals with the impossibly difficult themes of race in America, set during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s.

Something at the Texas detention facility is terribly wrong, and Tony Hefner knows it. But the guards are repeatedly instructed not to speak of anything they witness. In the Rio Grande Valley, one of the most poverty-stricken areas in the United States, good jobs are scarce and the detention facility pays the best wages for a hundred miles. The guards follow orders and keep quiet. For six years, Tony Hefner was a security guard at the Port Isabel Service Processing Center, one of the largest immigration detention centers in America, and witnessed alarming corruption and violations of basic human rights. Officers preyed upon the very people whom they are sworn to protect. On behalf of the 1,100 men, women, and children residing there on an average day, and the 1,500 new undocumented immigrants who pass through its walls every month, this is the story of the systematic sexual, physical, financial, and drug-related abuses of detainees by guards.
