Don't Worry About The Mule Going Blind

Don't Worry About The Mule Going Blind

UK USA CDN AU

What a courageous way of revealing the pains, hurts, struggles, and most importantly the triumph of a woman who learns to dare, to chase, and to love. It is a must read! Teaches you to keep going regardless of what comes in your way! ~ Review by Jessica Daniels

Book Description:

Betty Tucker came of age in Belle Glade, Florida, infamous for its poverty and violence (e.g., see the Wikipedia entry and the 2006 documentary One Percent).

Her childhood was one of debilitating poverty, borne of racism: exploitative migrant labor, multiple rapes and other abuse, chronic illness among her family and acquaintances.....the list is long and bitter. Betty survival not only by sheer hard work but also by nurturing a nascent belief that she deserved better.

She moved to California, earned her college degree, and raised a family. Then, in 1997, she began a long and eventually successful search for the twin girls
she had given up for adoption thirty years earlier.

Fear, insecurity, sexual abuse, want, neglect: This memoir will look beyond the description of these difficulties in the author's life to examine how they stifled her ability to shape her own life, how she acquired the tools she needed to take more control of her life, and what impact her choices, both intentional and unintentional, had on her life and those of her children.

The Other Side of Anger

Book_cover__The_other_Side_of_Anger_

Excerpt of Review by BJ ~ The Message: Hope and Life Legacy. Your beginning does not define you. You can change.

We need to pay attention. Anger is becoming epidemic! Jack Perry is passionate about changing the world, one person at a time. This book is a testament that no matter how poor the beginning or the circumstances that you are in now, you can make the change and live the life that you were meant to live.

Guest article by Jack Perry

No man or woman should ever live in fear of another human being; nobody has the right to convince you that you are less than what your heart, spirit and inner voice has programmed you to be in this universe. Everyone who reads this book will walk away different, for the better. Jack Perry, Jr., a former police officer, military pilot and business leader, has written in his own words and personal style a hard-hitting book about his last conversations with his father, before his father passed away.

These are impactful conversations every son or daughter should have with a parent at some point, before it's too late. Jack's father was an angry man, and his anger impacted many lives. In the final days of his father's life, Jack decided to visit him, and ask the hard-hitting, impactful questions about his father's verbal abuse, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, leadership style, and his own childhood.

That was the last time he saw his father alive. Jack shares his very personal life lessons, and how he recognizes the same behaviors permeating society today...the hidden facade so many people live, out of fear, societal pressure and anger.

He writes about what he has learned from his own mistakes, views and paradigms about life, love, people, violence, death, humanity and service to others. The book addresses anger and fear in the lives of everyone living today.

Anger and fear infects CEOs, business leaders, employees, children, parents, and our political leaders. Impactful, insightful solutions and tools are the wisdoms that Jack shares in his book-the defining moments and the people who had impact in his life for positive change.

"Enjoy my book with an open mind." Jack Perry, Jr.

Review about Author Bill Carson by M. L. Carter on Amazon:
I've found a number of good authors through twitter and Bill Carson is one of them. Carson teased us for weeks with lines from his book. These short, powerful descriptive phrases on Twitter made his book, Necessary Evils, a must add to my WTR (waiting to read) book list.
It was a good read. I think the well-written emotional reactions of the protagonist were quite realistic. There was enough action and thought-proving situations to keep me reading well into the night.
