She's a good woman, but don't get her riled. She's uneducated, but don't dare think you can outsmart her. She's small and appears frail, but under no circumstances should you underestimate her as an adversary. Such is the character of Marguerite MacDomangairt, better known to South Florida locals as "Mama Root". Mama Root is a strange and exceptionally old woman living off a very real venue called Loop Road deep in the Big Cypress Swamp of South Florida. In the course of this amazing beldam's 146 years she has run afoul of shape shifters, hired killers and demonic wraiths inhabiting her dreams. She has heard tell of murderous spinning wheels and horses returned from the dead. She has known material gain and devastating loss, joy and despair, ruby love and the flint of hate. Should you ever find yourself traveling down Tamiami Trail and see a place called Loop Road, traverse its length and witness its incredible beauty, by all means. But if you go about six miles and, against your better judgment, turn down an eerie looking trail and end up in a general store that is frozen in time, face-to-face with a woman whose very appearance scares you out of a year's growth, then I can offer only one bit of advice: You'd best be respectful

Whether they're starting high school for the first time, devising their own Winter Olympics, or working out ways to foil their parents, the three Fox kids never fail to create pandemonium. Since FoxTrot hit syndication in 1988, the strip has rewarded its millions of faithful readers with daily doses of family fun.Now established as one of America's most popular comic strips, FoxTrot cleverly conveys the identifiably goofy goings-on in this crazy household. At the core of much of the strip's wild humor is whiz kid Jason, age 10, who tortures his parents, Roger and Andy, and two teenage siblings, Peter and Paige, with his computer skills and his pet Iguana, Quincy. One strip in FoxTrot's newest collection, Your Momma Thinks Square Roots Are Vegetables, illustrates the family dynamics especially well: When Peter makes a racy call to girlfriend Denise on his cell phone, he's shocked to find out he's actually dialed his mother. As he enters the living room, Jason not-so-innocently says, "Oh, dear. Did someone reprogram your speed-dial list again?"Day after day, FoxTrot continues to deliver fresh, irreverent, and wacky humor. You're Momma Thinks Square Roots Are Vegetables continues the tradition with its look at family life through the eyes of Bill Amend.

This landmark dictionary proves that English words can be traced back to the universal, original language, Biblical Hebrew. Genesis II supports a 'Mother Tongue' thesis, and the Bible also claims that Adam named the animals. This may seem difficult to accept, but then why do the translations of the following animals' names: Skunk, Gopher, Giraffe and Horse actually have corresponding meanings in Biblical Hebrew, such as: Stinker, Digger, Neck and Plower? The book features overwhelming data suggesting that the roots of all human words are universal, and that words have related synonyms and antonyms that must have been intelligently designed (perhaps by the designer of life himself!) The current hypothesis that language evolved from grunting ape-men may seem like the flat earth theory after reading this book. The 22,000 English-Hebrew links provide surprising evidence, and open new worlds of understanding, once we consider that all of these similar words could not be coincidences.

It’s a journey from birth, through boyhood to manhood and the pain and suffering he had to go through to find the peace of God. His dad was a merchant Marine who was an alcoholic and abusive. His mother was an alcoholic and was obedient to his father. Virginia was the best out of the bunch, and now she was gone. Will was left alone to face a mountain of fear and pain. He had no idea that he did not have to face it alone. Always is a book of hope, hope that things can change when we find the knowledge to change them. And the only knowledge there ever will be. Is that, God is always there, always hears, always answers and always, always, loves us. It’s a story of salvation for a family, not just one person. GOD’s great like that. You will be introduced to a family that was so dysfunctional, yet no one knew that they were dysfunctional. Sin usually hides itself within families that way. God has a way of wiping the sin away and leaving a wonderful functional family. It’s only when the people in the family sees ‘and recognize the sin, find God and ask for forgiveness that the peace, love and joy are found. It will make you laugh, and cry, but most of all it will let you see God in the way He works in people’s lives, for them, with them and through them........................................................ GOD ALWAYS!!!

Krete walked through the gates of Deerfield Correctional Facility a free man, after spending four years in prison equipped with a master plan. Within six months of his release he was gainfully employed and financially stable. He poured concrete by day and chased his passion for music at night with the goal of owning his own entertainment company. Unfortunately, for Krete bad habits die slowly—especially if the price was right. Greed gives way to reason without regards to the impact it would have on the lives of the people in his tightknit circle. Amidst the growing chaos, Krete finds himself blessed and cursed by the love of two women, which could later prove dangerous for all involved. Many lies were told in an effort to balance the demands of multiple relationships as both worlds begin to collide. They both played pivotal roles in his life—one has his heart and the other one has his back. In addition, an unexpected windfall opens up a drug pipeline stretching from Georgia to VA, which attracts deadly consequences and the life he once envisioned evolves into a dream deferred.

Suddenly Lydia has lost all those dearest to her. Moving to a coal camp to live with her uncle William and aunt Ethel Mae only makes Lydia feel more alone. She is ridiculed at her new school for her outgrown homemade clothes and the way she talks, and for what the kids believe her mama did. And to make matters worse, she discovers that her uncle has been keeping a family secret—about her. If only Lydia, with her resilient spirit and determination, could find a way to clear her mother's name. . . .
