Seventeen year old Gary Matthews faced the same old story: a new town, new school, making new friends. His father was an Air Force pilot and they had just been stationed in Homestead, Florida in 1958. Trying to avoid an unhappy home life and fill the void of his summer, Gary stumbles upon a job that will change his life: a colored paper route in Jim Crow Dixie. To his surprise, Gary soon makes scores of friends, from the elderly widow, Hattie Donovan to the vivacious Lucy Brown, to Ty Shaw and his days of Negro League Baseball and friendship with the legendary Satchel Paige, to an unlikely and dangerous romance with Joyce Rogers. Gary soon faces redneck bullies at school as well as the biases of his own parents. But when tragedy strikes, Gary is comforted by the love and affection of those on his route. His time on The Paper Route teaches Gary life lessons that will shape and guide him for years to come: love, compassion, sorrow, faith, hopelessness and the indignities of life amongst the poor. It is a remarkable, touching experience of warmth, kindness and learning how to see the world from another person's perspective.

Have you ever had a special experience that you wanted to share with everyone? The Paper Route is just that""a true, once-in-a-lifetime story involving the author and her very ornery ten-year-old brother. Written from the perspective of a seven-year-old little girl, Loraine recounts how she helped her brother with an early morning paper route""in the dark, with no parents, and in the heart of a big city. The two of them develop confidence when they persevere in spite of real and imaginary challenges. Loraine learns that her brother's aggressive, self-willed traits (that she had despised so often), are exactly what made him a good leader. She is pleasantly surprised when her ornery brother ends up being her hero! It's a fun story, not only for young people. Those who were raised before cell phones and electronic devices are sure to enjoy the memories and humorous situations she shares. People of all ages can enjoy a little moment in time, as she takes you back to the way things were in 1966. Ironically, this endearing, light-hearted story is packed with serious lessons. Lessons that changed Loraine's way of thinking and taught her many concepts that help her deal with everyday life. Ask yourself the following questions before reading this book. Then ask yourself the same questions afterwards. See if you also glean the wisdom she did. Do you assume rich people are always snobs? That confident people are arrogant, self-serving, and think themselves as superior to others? Do you think rebellious people are nothing but troublemakers? Have you ever noticed how "bully" people can be your best friend in a crisis? What about parenting? Will you allow your children to take the easy way out when they encounter "real" challenges? As a parent, what is your attitude regarding your kids watching a horror movie? Are they "really" harmless? What about faith? If you were convinced a potentially dangerous experience would benefit your children, would you trust Jesus to keep them safe? What if you are a people pleaser, like Loraine was. Would you know when it's okay to be assertive to the point of being pushy or even aggressive? Are you convinced that reading for pleasure is not a waste of time? Do you read poetry? If not, why? Do you think poetry lacks honest value? There are a number of powerful concepts to learn from this story. Loraine's attitudes regarding these issues are forever changed. It's amazing what one can learn on a paper route!

Capturing an ever-changing San Francisco, 25 acclaimed writers tell their stories of living in one of the most mesmerizing cities in the world. Over the last few decades, San Francisco has experienced radical changes with the influence of Silicon Valley, tech companies, and more. Countless articles, blogs, and even movies have tried to capture the complex nature of what San Francisco has become, a place millions of people have loved to call home, and yet are compelled to consider leaving. In this beautifully written collection, writers take on this Bay Area-dweller's eternal conflict: Should I stay or should I go? Including an introduction written by Gary Kamiya and essays from Margaret Cho, W. Kamau Bell, Michelle Tea, Beth Lisick, Daniel Handler, Bonnie Tsui, Stuart Schuffman, Alysia Abbott, Peter Coyote, Alia Volz, Duffy Jennings, John Law, and many more, The End of the Golden Gate is a penetrating journey that illuminates both what makes San Francisco so magnetizing and how it has changed vastly over time, shapeshifting to become something new for each generation of city dwellers. With essays chronicling the impact of the tech-industry invasion and the evolution, gentrification, and radical cost of living that has transformed San Francisco's most beloved neighborhoods, these prescient essayists capture the lasting imprint of the 1960s counterculture movement, as well as the fight to preserve the art, music, and other creative movements that make this forever the city of love. For anyone considering moving to San Francisco, wishing to relive the magic of the city, or anyone experiencing the sadness of leaving the bay—and ultimately, for anyone that needs a reminder of why we stay. Bound to be a long-time staple of San Francisco literature, anyone who has lived in or is currently living in San Francisco will enjoy the rich history of the city within these pages and relive intimate memories of their own. • GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY: A percentage of the proceeds will be given to charities that help those in the bay experiencing homelessness. Every copy purchased offers a small way to help those in need.
