    RAISING QUAMINA - The True Story...

    A True-Life Odyssey of Survival, Legacy, and Redemption. The name Quamina carries centuries of resistance, dignity, and power. This is the story of one man who refused to let that name die. 
    From the 1823 Demerara slave revolt led by Quamina Gladstone to the streets of 1980s America, Raising Quamina traces the unbreakable thread of Black defiance and resistance across time and continents. Rev. Duane A. Quamina steps into the legacy of his ancestors—not to romanticize rebellion, but to expose the brutal systems built to erase men like him. 
    Born into a world of quiet wars and loud betrayals, Quamina endured childhood trauma, military sabotage, encounters with the Turkish and Medellin cartels, and two wrongful imprisonments—in Germany and the United States. His legal battle in the infamous Wells Fargo prosecution—centered around the largest attempted heist in American history—ultimately led him to serve time in the historic Atlanta Penitentiary, a fortress of American punishment once home to some of the nation’s most notorious inmates, including Al Capone, Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, Carlos Lehder, Michael Milken, G. Gordon Liddy, and Frank Abagnale. 
    But this is not a story of defeat. It is a resurrection. 
    Guided by ancestral memory, spiritual awakening, and nonviolent leadership, Quamina rises from systemic injustice to reclaim his identity—and his voice. Raising Quamina is both personal and political, spiritual and historical. It is a testimony. 
    Raising Quamina is more than a memoir—it’s a call to conscience and a mirror held up to history. 
    With cinematic clarity and poetic truth, Rev. Duane A. Quamina lays bare the realities that others tried to bury. This is a story reclaimed, a legacy reborn, and a truth that refused to be erased. Once you start reading, you won’t walk away the same.

    This riveting book is an astonishing testimony of what befell two sisters, Whitehouse’s own mother-in-law and aunt, who managed to escape the killing fields in Vichy France against all odds. 
      
    Marion and Huguette Müller’s family was torn apart when the Nazis invaded France in 1940. After their mother was deported to Auschwitz, the sisters fled to the small Alpine ski resort village of Val d'Isère, where they were rescued by a brave young doctor. 
      
         Through intrepid reporting and meticulous research, Whitehouse traces the story of the Müller sisters, solving decades-old mysteries in her attempt to deliver both closure and justice. With skill and urgency, Whitehouse raises moral questions at the heart of the tragedy of the Shoah: questions about complicity, culpability, about duty to your country and your fellow man. She sifts through thousands of records and pieces together how the sisters were saved, and how so many others were lost. 
      
         It is a tale full of shocking discoveries featuring a bloodthirsty killer, secret operatives of the French resistance, forged documents, narrow escapes, and miracles.

    "Little Bun Rabbit" is the twenty-second and final tale in L. Frank Baum's 1897 collection Mother Goose in Prose.
    Dorothy is a farm girl who is allowed to roam the local meadows and woods and play to her heart's content. She has the rare ability to understand and speak the language of the animals. The kind-hearted child makes friends with Bun Rabbit, and learns about his life and experiences. Bun Rabbit once modeled for Santa Claus, so that Santa could make stuffed bunnies for "the babies" to play with. The rabbit had traveled with Santa to his castle at the North Pole, and stayed for several days to admire Santa's craftsmanship. While there, the bunny was fed clover, turnips, and sliced cabbage by old Mother Hubbard, who keeps house (or castle) for Santa. The toy bunnies Santa created in Bun Rabbit's likeness were so accurate that Bun almost mistook one for a live creature.
    Bun Rabbit chose to walk home from the North Pole, to see the countryside; Santa equipped him with a magic collar that kept the rabbit from harm. The collar melted away and disappeared once Bun Rabbit reached home.
