The untold story of a basketball pioneer who broke the color barrier in Texas basketball. Though another athlete who played in the NFL is often credited for being the first Black Texas basketball player, Bubba Ephriam broke the color barrier in his sport in March 1957. He led the Pecos High School Eagles to their first outright district title and the UIL state basketball tournament. Bubba grew up in a migrant farm family during pivotal years of segregation and integration. The Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision was announced on May 17, 1954, two days after his sixteenth birthday. His first game with the Pecos Eagles was on December 1, 1955, the same day Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, launching a historic 381-day bus boycott. Follow this inspirational story as Bubba plays the game he loves through a turbulent period before pursuing a distinguished career in the US Armed Forces.

Walk into Hinkle Fieldhouse, and you feel it--that palpable sense of history known as the Hinkle mystique. Indiana's basketball cathedral has stood in all its glory at Butler University since 1928. John Wooden, Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird played on its floor. Jesse Owens sprinted to a record at Hinkle, and athletes from around the globe have brought Olympic-level competition to crowds gathered under its steel arches. It was the setting for the climactic scene in Hoosiers, arguably the greatest sports movie ever made. It has hosted evangelists, ice shows, tennis matches, bike races and even roller derbies. Author Eric Angevine gets inside the paint in this complete Hinkle history, featuring archival photographs of the iconic structure and words from those who know it best.

This riveting story is part mystery, social commentary, and fascinating Hawaiiana. Grace Hill, the narrator, tells the hidden truth about what goes on behind closed doors of The Palms, an independent retirement community in Hawaii. Grace and her Clue Crew of three friends help a Hawaiian police detective solve six mysterious deaths among the residents. Characters are the flamboyant manager of the home and her bumbling husband, a transgender masseuse, a tipsy Cajun chef, a militant social director, and 110 rattled seniors who survive a ballistic missile alert, a hurricane, and a norovirus epidemic. This irreverent romp through everyday life in a retirement home is the sequel to Menu For Murder, published in 2015, in which the Clue Crew and police crack the murders of five residents.
