A Legacy to Remember -...

Pamela K Orgeron

A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man is the story of a man who rose above all odds stacked against him. The Great Depression, divorced parents, living in poverty, World War II, the death of a child, divorce, etc.—commonly known occurrences many individuals in American history have faced. Many people would have been bitter having lived through such tragedies. But not Duard Vinson Gillum! He not only survived but he thrived through his faith in God to become a wonderful family man with a successful career in the aeronautics industry, even working on the Apollo moon landing project and the space shuttle project.This biography follows Tiny’s autobiography, Recollections of a Common Man (Xlibris, 2011), self-published before his death with a final chapter and additional photos documenting Mr. Gillum’s life.Reared in Ashland, KY, during the Great Depression, Mr. Gillum's extended family of 11 occupied a three-room shack located next to the city dump. After the Depression, his family experienced the Great Flood of 1937, where many locales along the Ohio River, including Ashland, faced much devastation. When WWII started he had only completed a ninth-grade education before joining the navy, lying about his age.Following his honorable discharge from the navy after WWII ended, with only his ninth-grade education, Mr. Gillum became a well-accomplished career man in the aeronautics field while also volunteering in his community as a baseball coach for 18 years; that also included coaching his son.Referring to Mr. Gillum as a mere survivor is an understatement, to say the least. He thrived in the midst of adversity to overcome much tragedy while maintaining an optimistic attitude that reflected to others around him. No doubt Mr. Gillum touched a lot of lives. He also left a lot of life lessons that many individuals in today's society will glean from listening to A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man.

Every Lie I've Ever Told

Rosie Waterland

'I'm okay!' The bestselling author of The Anti-Cool Girl returns with a devastating, heartbreaking, brilliant, brave and laugh-out-loud funny memoir of telling lies and being on the brink...

'I had made it! All my dreams had come true. I had an operating fridge, I was doing brilliantly, and I had written the memoir to prove it. I even had online haters. I had conquered life at 30 and nothing was ever going to go wrong again!' It was all going so well for Rosie Waterland. Until it wasn't. Until, shockingly, something awful happened and Rosie went into agonising free fall. Until late one evening she found herself in a hospital emergency bed, trembling and hooked to a drip. Over the course of that long, painful night, she kept thinking about how ironic it was, that right in the middle of writing a book about lies, she'd ended up telling the most significant lie of all.A raw, beautiful, sad, shocking - and very, very funny - memoir of all the lies we tell others and the lies we tell ourselves.
