Cotton Field Of Dreams: A Memoir by
Janis F. Kearney,
William J. Clinton (Hardcover
- January 31, 2005)
Kearney was the personal diarist
to
Clinton and also served in other
positions during his campaign and years in office. In the foreword he
points out, "From their parents, the
Kearney children absorbed a powerful
conviction: They were neither better nor less than any other human being.
This conviction gave them the self-confidence to move far beyond their
difficult beginnings." It is this conviction, this type of upbringing,
that is missing in the majority of houses today.
Cotton Field Of Dreams shares the lessons taught by our forefathers
and brought to fruition by faith, trust, perseverance, and the desire
to dream. The writing is soft and soulful, the shared memories are heart-warming,
and the final outcome of the
Kearney children was simply awe-inspiring.
When one thinks of 17 children growing up in the South during the mid-1900s,
it is unusual to picture them as lawyers, historians, and such in the
present, but with the exception of one child, they all reached this
level of success. It just goes to show that materialistic wealth means
nothing when compared to upbringing. It all goes back to the parents,
one of the most important aspects of a child's life.

Where
Present Meets Past: A Scene from the Indigo Lounge by
Kamichi Jackson, Author (Digital
- October 21, 2005) The handsome chef with a shady past…the
well–loved owner with a heart–wrenching secret…the mysterious
out–of–towner in the corner booth…the stately, silver–haired women
adorned in Tahitian black pearls at table four—these are just a few
of the many characters who inspire the stories of Philadelphia’s
Indigo Lounge, a fictitious jazz supper club I created after my
first visit (as a “grown” person) to this cultural mecca of
Brotherly Love. The Scenes From The Indigo Lounge series is my
personal celebration of a city I adore, and a curtsy to the people
who move me to visit again and again. |
