Many of the characters will remind you of someone you already know. If you are one of the fortunate people to figure out what is being said and what isn't being said, you will go directly to the head of the class.Whos is the Joker in Bid WhistThis card game played by six friends in their early forties occurs at least twice a month. There is a parallel between the card game and the way people have chosen to live their lives. The story takes place in the early sixties when relationships and social norms start to revolutionize into what we have today. When playing Bid Whist the Spade represents the most powerful card in the deck. The people with the most power in this fictional tale misuse their position and when they lose, they lose everything. The Diamond represents wealth in the card game. In this story the people with the most money are not necessarily the wealthiest. The richest people are those people who are the happiest.When you read the book try to find who are the Jokers and who are the real winners. If you can do this you too are a "WINNER".ISBN: 0-9769901-0-5 Price: $17.99 Pages: 248 Dimensions: 6" x 9" Distributed by: Ingram Book Group and Baker and Taylor DistributorsAPrev.

Yet a common thread runs throughout the pages like a carefully woven quilt of the different experiences and views that they have chosen to share with you the reader. Some of their writings reflect and speak to the similarities of the sisters while other will show their many difference. They compleiment and challenge they probe and question... They define and redefine... womanhood and the relationship between all "sisters". Sisters, Nikil Ashford Graham and Odette Ashford Griffin, where born in Rochester, NY They were raised separately, one by and aunt and uncle and the other in various homes. As adults they both moved away from Rochester; Nikil to such places as Trenton, NJ and Washington, DC. and Odette to Brooklyn, NY, Los Angeles and Berkeley, Ca. inevitably returning to their roots in Rochester, NY where they both live and write today. I am sure that sisters and even brothers everywhere will be able to relate to the writer's different poetic verse contained within these pages. We hope that you find them entertaining, encouraging as well as enlightening and thought provoking.PLEASURES AND PASSIONS MARIE PERRY ASHFORD 1910-1994 OUR MOTHER The mother of twelve, a stunning woman, sensitive and sincere.

Dr. Willie E. ClevelandMy story is about the Omnipotent God and a Christian pastor whose faith wasput to the ultimate test. After many years of talking the talk about faith, I foundmyself having to walk the talk about faith. The devastation of a fire set the courseof living a life of homelessness for three years. My life would be changed foreverthrough the spiritual attack of the enemy of Jesus Christ. Satan— through hisagents who also despise Christ’s many churches —tried to kill, rob, and destroymy faith.The attack on the physical building/temple sent me on a journey that was filledwith many disappointments. It was filled with the uncertainty of not knowing ifthe congregation would survive as we tried to overcome the many obstacles weencountered.My story is about a faith that so many believers in Christ profess to have as wedeal with man’s impossibilities. Yet hanging on to my faith while I believed thatthe Lord would do the impossible and conquer the unconquerable was difficult.At the beginning, looking through carnal eyes, I saw defeat as the inevitable end.But through spiritual eyes focused on Jesus —the author and finisher of everybeliever’s faith— I am now experiencing the joy of victory.
