While Larry's body lay in the humid jungle for twenty-one days, his young wife, Marty, was only told that her husband was "MIA" and possibly taken by hostile forces. Desperately hoping and praying that Larry was still alive. Marty waited in agony with their six-month-old daughter, Lori Jo, for the good news that would never come.As she grew into adulthood, Lori Goss began a decades-long search for her father's comrades and the truth about her father's death. It would take her two trips to Vietnam and many long conversations with veterans of the battle to finally piece together the puzzle she had been aching to complete her whole life.

Book Description from the manuscript introductionThis book includes over a year of weekly texts I sent to my thirteen Fantastic Grandkids to help them develop their creative thinking ability. My grandkids ages spanned nearly twenty five years and they had a variety of experience, education and interests. My goal was to write on subjects that would be interesting to all of them. The subjects were selected to reflect the potential interest of any age group. This would give the grandkids the opportunity to re read the texts and still find something interesting and enjoyable as they got older. The Fantastic Grandkids texts provided an opportunity for me to share some of my experiences, discoveries and ideas with my grandkids. I received feedback on what they liked about a particular text and what they wanted to hear more about. Some of the grandkids shared the texts they liked with their friends. One of the grandkids said they wanted me to write on a variety of subjects that they wouldn't hear about in school. So I did. I presented these texts to my grandkids with the understanding that they were about techniques and ideas that worked for me and they may or may not work for them. It was up to them to try some of these techniques and ideas to discover for themselves which texts were valid for them. I did not want them to believe something just because I believed it. The ideas and techniques in the weekly texts were presented in a fractal text writing format. Then the Grandkids didn't have to read the entire text beginning to end. They could use their iPhones to scroll around on the texts to see what caught their interest. They could then just read that part and still get the text's general message. When the fractal writing format is used in book form, it allows the reader to skip around to different subjects or read parts of the subject that might be of interest to them. The fractal writing technique also works well with Kindle and eBooks because they have scrolling capabilities. The reader can just read a part of the book and still get a good message. The subjects I wrote about were designed to stretch the readers' imagination and boundaries so that they would have the opportunity to consider possibilities that they might not have otherwise considered. Some of the major themes of the texts were to help the grandkids take responsibility for themselves and to learn how to create what they want in their lives. The themes also included the importance of having fun, understanding learning experiences , developing their talents and being all they can be. The message to you, the reader of this book, is that the fifty six Fantastic Grandkids texts may help you discover answers to many of the questions or issues you will encounter in your life's journey. Hopefully you will find these Fantastic Grandkids texts interesting and fun to read and they will also help to make your life more interesting, exciting and fulfilling. Paul Johnson

Is the old woman living across the street a witch, a murderess, or just an eccentric neighbor obsessed with flowers? Although Marigold gets the opportunity to discover the truth when she ends up as the neighbor's gardening assistant, she remains consumed with keeping her own secrets, such as the one about her mother's mental illness. This middle grade novel reinforces the idea that sometimes friendships and understanding bloom in unexpected ways and places."REVIEW: "Marigold doesn't want to talk about her mother's mental illness. And why would she? The adults in her life and even some of her friends avoid the topic. This novel reveals the all-too-familiar convoluted path young people often must take in a society that would rather hide the realities of mental illness than discuss them openly. Fortunately for Marigold, understanding and support blossom when the weeds hiding the truth are yanked away." ---Journalist Sue McMillin, "The Denver Post"ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Judith Rypma is the author of the young adult novel, "The Amber Beads" (historical time travel set in 1917 Russia released by Black Opal Books) and "Rocks in My Head: Poetry for Young People About Rocks, Minerals, and Crystals."

Sid Gordon, An American Baseball Story, is the compelling history of the son of Jewish immigrants, and his efforts to make it to the highest levels of professional baseball. Gordon's story is not unlike the stories of so many American families; Jewish, Irish, Italian, and so many others, caught up in the most turbulent period in American history. He grew up on the streets of Brooklyn during the Great Depression, and had to fight off and withstand Anti-Semitism as he struggled to earn himself a place in professional baseball. This was truly the greatest era of the game, and Gordon not only made it to the majors, he was a two-time All-Star, and one of the best players in the league. There are many books written about the star players of the game. This book, however, is more than just a story about baseball, and Gordon's story is not limited to the years he played ball. What is unique about "Sid Gordon, An American Baseball Story," are Gordon's contributions off the field. Gordon played a critical, but yet untold role, in the integration of the game an the fight to end discrimination in our society. While Gordon played the game nearly seventy-five years ago, the lessons of his life remain relevant today, not only in sports, but in American society.
