Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There is one question that victims of the Great Depression knew not to ask: what did I do to deserve this? The answer was the same for nearly everyone; it was your turn. Homer and Ella Dickinson suffered the worst of times-lost jobs and lost homes as life and tragedies caved in on them. They were forced to relocate six times while Homer looked for permanent employment. When all that was going on, they had kids to care for, and sadly, two children to bury and mourn.As the Depression loosened its grip, Homer found steady work for the railroad in Pendleton, Oregon. The family started again with their two remaining sons, George and Gibb. Then came terrible luck-World War II. The oldest son, George, went to war in the summer of 1943 and trained as a paratrooper for the 82nd Airborne. On the night of June 5, or very early morning on June 6, he parachuted into Nazi-occupied France during the D-Day invasion. George would be part of a very large task force of courageous young American men who fought their way into Germany. George survived and returned to Pendleton and soon married his high school sweetheart, an intelligent young woman from the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Of course, there were comments, complaints, and whispered insults about the mixed-race marriage of George Dickinson and Sulema Lopez. Both families were very supportive of the marriage and headed off many rude and unwanted objections that were aimed at George and Sulema. That support eased much of the tension that may have arisen, and the couple led very fulfilling adult lives that were blessed by twins. The person most responsible for the family's strength and cohesion during the hardest times was Ella, who had enough love and compassion for anyone who entered her circle. Her motto, "God loves you, so do I," was introduced to her by her father, a Baptist pastor. She lived it and took care of her "little corner of the world" right up to the time of her death.Hard Times: Good People is about those who step up and take on life's most demanding challenges and setbacks. To get through those times took nothing short of everyday heroes. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Dickinson family moved to Pendleton, Oregon in the late 1930's. They had to. Moving to find employment and an income was not unusual during the Great Depression. They found their way to Pendleton and Homer, the patriarch, went to work for the Union Pacific Railroad, a permanent position-and he was very grateful. The family finally had a house and a way to take care of their two sons, George and Gibb. Today, the 21st century, the Dickinson family has changed; of course that happens, people die, and new kids are born into it. Unfortunately, the new kids don't always make intelligent choices.The family had done well. They were comfortable, not rich, and twins were born to George and his wife Sulema. Eventually, the twins have their own kids and not all is well with the sons of Amos, one of the twins. Today, those sons of Amos are two young adult men who are very successful. Grant, is a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps and his younger brother David is the shortstop for the Detroit Tigers; yes those Detroit Tigers.It wasn't always that way for the two brothers. Those two, with questionable interference, or maybe it was neglect, from their mother who finally admitted that she shouldn't have been a mother and that she really wasn't too fond of her boys. They looked like they were messing up their lives intentionally. Consequently, Grant and David were determined to start a disaster in their own house.George is now an old man (82) but he's not old enough to say, 'I won't quit on those two grandsons of mine.' Therefore, the Dickinson family takes charge of raising the two boys after their mother had left with another man. The story mainly is about Grant and David breaking out of a very bad place and the family's patient efforts (the rescue) to turn two potential criminals, or at least deadbeats, into, as their grandfather said, 'fine young mean.' After some sputters and spurts, Grant and David made some major changes with their behaviors. The family succeeded and the two former malcontents, who appeared to be heading to juvenile court, tried very hard, with an abundance of family help, to restart their lives. A Family Rescue is about not quitting on people, even if they are bound and determined to mess up their own lives. The good news; no relative, outside their own mother, gives up on these two and they were glad to see her leave. This is a family that will not sit around and watch any relative drift away and jump off a two-hundred foot cliff and smash into the rocks below. It is also about people who don't give up on themselves. it is an uplifting and very emotional story about a proud family of talented people who stand by those they love.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Haunted Executioner takes place in the late 2030 and early 40s.The future is not an optimistic time. Simply because there is too much murder in the country. So the American public demands the elimination of a few words in the Constitution like the phrase in the Eighth Amendment that forbids 'cruel and unusual punishment.' if the country is not alert to what's going on among the American people and the court system, the craziness that began with eliminating a few words can bring about untold blood shed.Sid Spurgeon, a dedicated educator and coach, spent over three decades teaching in Oregon high schools from 1973 to 2006. He graduated from Washington State University in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts in History. Before embarking on his teaching career, Sid worked for the U.S. Forest Service, spending three years on a fire suppression crew and four seasons as a smokejumper.Sid considers teaching high school a profound privilege, a calling that shaped his life. As a proud father of four adult children, he cherishes the lessons learned from both family and his students. Though he began writing as a hobby, he discovered his passion for authorship in his seventies. Now at 75, he has published three books and continues to write, driven by an unquenchable love for storytelling.Residing in Pendleton, Oregon, Sid humorously acknowledges the fleeting nature of inspiration, joking that he'll keep writing as long as his mind allows-maintaining a meaningful companionship with his keyboard along the way.…
