Synopsis

In the Slums of Life tells the story of Rosa Lee, a woman who faced countless challenges in her life, yet never gave up on her dreams. Born into poverty in the rural South, she moved to the urban North in search of a better life, only to find more hardship and discrimination. Despite the obstacles she faced, Rosa raised eight children, worked tirelessly to provide for them, and became a pillar of her community.

Rosa's story is one of resilience, strength, and hope. It is a story that shines a light on the struggles of the urban poor and the challenges they face every day. It is also a story of triumph, as Rosa ultimately overcame adversity and achieved her dreams.

This book follows Rosa's journey from her early life in the Jim Crow South to her death from AIDS at age fifty-nine. We learn about the hardships she faced, the choices she made, and the impact she had on her family and community. We also explore the larger social and economic forces that shaped Rosa's life and the lives of millions of other Americans living in poverty.

Rosa Lee's story is an important one because it helps us to understand the complex challenges facing the urban poor. It also reminds us of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, people can find the strength to overcome adversity and achieve their dreams.

In the Slums of Life is a powerful and moving story that will stay with readers long after they finish reading it. It is a story that will inspire and uplift readers of all backgrounds.

    For readers who enjoy a dark and mysterious plot with their sexy books, comes the prequel story to this kinky m/m ( m/m/m) series inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe story, “The Fall of the House of Usher.” 
    This prequel story answers the questions posed by the House of Otter series but can be read before or after the complete trilogy. 
    On the shore of a small beach town, decades before the mysterious House of Otter spoke to Alexander, it called to a different furry young gay man. This starry-eyed, down-on-his-luck queer hustler is confronted by a powerful millionaire in the sand who leads him from the ocean to a new way of life. 
    Leaving a trail of money, extravagance, jockstraps, and large toys in their path across continents, the Daddy and boy pair awaken sexual magic which has been lying dormant in an abandoned mansion. 
    When they reach their luxurious destination they are met with more furry otters and colorful sexy jockstraps. Danger looms around the collection of gay men as the beach bum with a fetish for exhibitionism, unexpectedly finds himself participating in an ancient sexual ritual. 
    Will the cycle be completed in time? How will these events, which occurred long before Alexander joined the House of Otter, impact the future for this young man and those who come after him? In whichever order you decide to read them, the House of Otter series is not complete without the questions only this prequel story can answer. 
    It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist! 
    This MM BDSM Dark Erotic Romance takes consent seriously. No otter boys were harmed (unless they wanted to be) in the writing of this book.*

    In The Ethics of Rhetoric, Richard M. Weaver evaluates the ethical and cultural role of rhetoric and its reflection on society. Weaver draws upon classical notions of rhetoric in Plato's Phaedrus, and he examines the effectiveness and implications of the manipulation of language in the works of Lincoln, Burke, and Milton. In this collection of essays, Weaver examines how different types of rhetoric persuade, their varying levels of effectiveness and credibility, and how one's manner of argumentation and style of persuasion are indicative of character. Ultimately, Weaver argues that the cultivation of pure language creates pure people. Initially published in 1953, The Ethics of Rhetoric remains timeless in its evaluation of rhetoric's role in society. 
    Richard M. Weaver (1910-1963) an esteemed scholar, humanist, cultural critic, and political philosopher, revolutionized conservativism of the mid-twentieth century. Weaver's original scholarship produced groundbreaking insight on human nature and society.

    "How We Think" is a seminal work by John Dewey, an influential American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer. Published in 1910, the book explores the nature of thought, inquiry, and problem-solving, particularly within the context of education and learning. Dewey argues that thinking is an active process involving inquiry, reflection, and experimentation rather than a passive absorption of knowledge. He emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and the integration of experiences in shaping one's understanding of the world.

    State of the Union 1987

    The 1987 State of the Union Address delivered January 27, 1987, in the 200th anniversary year of the U.S. Constitution, notes dramatic improvements in the inflation rate, interest rates, housing starts, and the unemployment rate. Reagan regrets the Iran-Contra controversy and promises to get to the bottom of it and take whatever action is called for. 
    Though the Soviets transferred $75 billion in weapons to client-states like Syria, Vietnam, Cuba, Libya, Angola, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Nicaragua, the Congress cut administration requests for security assistance and defense. There “is no surer way to lose freedom than to lose our resolve.” As President Truman said: “International communism seeks to crush and undermine and destroy the independence of the Americas. We cannot let that happen here.” 
    Our Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI, “is the most positive and promising defense program we have undertaken. It's the path, for both sides, to a safer future -- a system that defends human life instead of threatening it.” 
    We support free trade and “expanding peaceful commerce across the world.” We remain opposed as ever to protectionism…” 
    The “federal deficit is outrageous.” We need “a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget”. We need “a line-item veto so we can carve out the boondoggles and pork…” “We have deficits because big government spends too much.” 
    The U.S. Constitution “grew out of the most fundamental inspiration of our existence: that we are here to serve Him by living free -- that living free releases in us the noblest of impulses and the best of our abilities; that we would use these gifts for good and generous purposes and would secure them not just for ourselves and for our children but for all mankind.”

    Leon Trotsky was a Ukrainian-Russian Marxist revolutionary, political thinker, and political leader who lived from November the 7th, in the year 1879 till August the 21st 1940. He developed a variation of Marxism referred to as Trotskyism after being a communist ideologically.Trotsky accepted Marxism after moving to Nikolayev in the year 1896, where he was born to a wealthy Ukrainian-Jewish family in Yanovka (now Bereslavka, Ukraine). He was detained and banned to Siberia by Tsarist authorities in the year 1898 for advanced activity. In the year 1902, he got away Siberia for London, where he ended up being good friends with Vladimir Lenin. At the time of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party's preliminary organizational split in the year 1903, he supported Julius Martov's Mensheviks against Lenin's Bolsheviks. Trotsky was locked up and deported to Siberia after helping to prepare the unsuccessful Russian Revolution of 1905. He got away again and operated in the U.K., Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, and the U.S. for the next 10 years. After the Tsarist monarchy was toppled in the February Revolution of 1917, Trotsky went back to Russia and signed up with the Bolshevik faction as a leader. He was a popular figure in the November 1917 October Revolution, which deposed the new Provisional Federal government, as head of the Petrograd Soviet.Let’s see what else Leon Trotsky did in his life.
