“Dumpster Doll gives you a chance to open your eyes and glimpse what children in the system go through and how they got there. You may be uncomfortable, and I hope that you are. It is my sincere hope that Dumpster Doll provokes you to do something in your own community to help children.”
–Crystal Morgan, founder of Fostering Love
Dumpster Doll is brave not because it is unique, but because it unflinchingly shines a light on family turmoil, flaws in judicial systems, and ultimately, the grit and tenacity that thousands of children exhibit each day just to make it through.

Albert Harris was a hometown hero in the small east Texas town of Greenville. He was captain and quarterback of the high school football team and married Mary Alice Norwood, the pretty daughter of the local county judge, in 1945. Trained as an artillery officer in the Marines, Lieutenant Harris joined the reserves shortly after his marriage.
When the Korean War broke out in the summer of 1950, Lieutenant Harris knew he would be leaving his wife and one-year-old son for the hills of North Korea. There was no more practice—it was going to be the real thing.
In 323 Days, we travel back in time to 1951-1952 and the early stages of the Cold War. The United States was battling international communism and there was the ever-present danger of World War III. The Marine Corps had already suffered significant losses in the first year of the Korean War and Lieutenant Harris knew his tour of duty would not be easy.
During the war, Albert Harris wrote over 50 letters to Mary Alice detailing a wide variety of subjects, most direct from the battlefield. The letters are packed with information and reveal both a love story and a brutal war story. They are an important and unique viewing window to a critical segment of the Korean War and are published here for the first time.
John Harris was born on July 29, 1949, one year before the start of the Korean War. He is the son of Albert and Mary Alice Harris and has many fond childhood memories growing up with them and his grandparents in the small east Texas town of Greenville.
John’s father was transferred to Corpus Christi, where John graduated from high school in 1967. He was an all-around athlete and president of his senior class. John then enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin, where he met his future wife, Joan.
John spent the majority of his business career in the computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery industry. In 1993, he founded his own CNC machinery manufacturing company and later (2001) sold his interest in it.
John and Joan have one son, Ryan, who attended Vanderbilt University. Ryan met his wife, Tiffany, at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. They both completed their periodontal residencies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Currently, they have two periodontal practices in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. They are the parents of four children, the only grandchildren of John and Joan. After retirement, John and Joan moved near them in 2014.
John and Joan stay busy with their grandchildren’s activities. John especially likes to attend their many sporting events. He also enjoys fishing and reading. Transcribing and editing this book have been extremely rewarding for him. 323 Days will be a lasting tribute to his father’s service in the Korean War.

Part memoir, part historical fiction, Eight Acres and a Cow is a story of family, Ohio, and the perseverance of working-class people during the Great Depression.
Find it from major retailers here, or ask for it at your favorite bookstore.
Carol was a mountain girl and wanted to stay that way, but Daddy had to find work. So, despite misgivings, the Richardson family cranked up the 1936 Dodge and headed for Ohio where the jobs were. They camped overnight by the side of the road and peed in the woods in every state they crossed. After two days and 500 miles, they pulled in front of a sorry-looking brick house on Leap Road in Hilliard, Ohio. It seemed even worse than they’d feared.
But Ohio had surprises — many good, some mysterious, a few scary, and a couple sad. The family bumped along in the Leap Road house and life got smoother and better as they went. Then Mom and Daddy started whispering secrets, and that brought the biggest surprise of all.
Carol Richardson grew up in Ohio and worked nearly twenty-five years in Washington, DC, as a lead grass-roots organizer for peace and justice groups. As an ordained pastor in the United Methodist Church, she also served congregations both in Ohio and Maryland. Currently, she is retired and living in Columbus, Ohio.

Musician, songwriter, artist, and adventurer, Norman Walters has filled his life with fascinating stories. He shares these tales in his book Dream of a Lifetime: Ten Years in the Upper Amazon, as he recounts the highs and lows of starting a business in the Peruvian rain forest.
Norman Walters and his longtime business partner Larry have sought out and experienced what most souls are terrified of or can only dream of: The Precipice of Life. From playing music in Greenwich Village in the 1960s to building a touristic paradise in Peru’s deepest, darkest, Amazon rainforest in the 1990s, they have consistently gone against the odds, winning…losing…and calling it even. You can find out more about the author here.
“Interspersed with tales of his gloriously misspent youth, one of the hardest-working hippies of his generation recounts the genesis of his remarkable achievement–the creation of an eco-sensitive tourist lodge in Peru’s Amazon jungle.”

Who Could Have Imagined!: My Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Experience, an inspiring book by Michele Moore, is now available in print and digital editions from fine book retailers around the world!
Michele Moore wanted a unique relationship with God. She found a church family and a pastor to lead her down a spiritual path, but longed for a deeper relationship with the Father. Even as God worked alongside her through her life, a lack of focus kept Him hidden from her sight. She prayed that His presence would be revealed.
Be careful what you ask of God, because He might give you exactly what you desire.
Michele never could have imagined that the close relationship with God she’d prayed so hard for would come through Stevens-Johnson Syndrome—a condition that took her to the brink of death and through a difficult recovery.
In this book Michele shares her pain and suffering as she travels through this illness and arrives victorious with God on the other side. Through telling her own experiences she hopes others will learn to be still and listen when God speaks, to hold fast to their faith when life seems impossible, and to celebrate the miraculous ways He works to fulfil His promises.
Will you trust God?
Look for it from these retailers, or ask/search for it from your favorite bookshop!
This touching book will be a welcome addition to your reading library.
Early readers love Who Could Have Imagined! Here’s what one of them has to say:
Although I’ve never heard of SJS, I not only received a true educational understanding on the syndrome but more importantly the true power of God’s love and healing power. The key (which I received, praise God) is to be steadfast on your faith and prayers, and trust in the Lord. This book has truly blessed me and will undoubtedly bless others as well…
