  I was standing on my bed looking out of my bedroom window. The sky appeared gray and somber. I saw a young man with dark hair looking up, staring at me from the sidewalk. Then quick lightning flashed, striking him, leaving a small pile of charcoal-colored ashes on the sidewalk where he once stood... I awoke. I was surrounded by plastic drapes and hospital monitoring equipment. The air around me smelled like chicken soup and chemicals. They later told me it had been five months that Id been in a coma. I was wrapped in layers of white bandages. Third-degree burns covered almost 80 percent of my body. My journey was just beginning. The doctors painted a grim future for me. They told my mom that I would never walk again. Oftentimes, we can forget to be thankful for the small things. In her book Snatch Back, author Ruby Hayes recounts some of her most trying times and how God eventually took hold of her life and brought her back to the light. Hayes's book is a shining testimony to the fact that it is never to late to be relinquished from the devil. This is the book that Satan himself does not want published.

  A luminous story of loss and resilience, Lightkeeper captures acclaimed photographer Stacy Bass's personal journey through grief—and the art of keeping her parents' legacy alive through memory and photography. 
   
   
   
  In 1995, when a tragic seaplane accident on Block Island claimed her father's life, Bass's world shattered. She began to write as a way to process her excruciating grief, while gathering the pieces of his life through collected photographs. Some twenty-five years later, her mother was diagnosed with, and ultimately died from, pancreatic cancer after a one-year battle against that harrowing disease. During her mother's illness, Bass created a living tribute of images and words that built a community of support around her mother when she needed it most. 
   
   
   
  By collecting and sharing photographs of her parents, Michael and Jessica Waldman, Bass recognized how photographs serve not merely as records but as powerful portals into memory—gateways to the stories that exist just outside the frame. Filled with stunning prose, this evocative memoir reveals how Bass became the "lightkeeper" of her family's legacy, preserving their stories for future generations. For anyone who has loved deeply and lost tragically, Lightkeeper offers both solace and inspiration—reminding us that the light of those who have been lost always endures.

  A Man of Bad Reputation - The...

  Drew A. Swanson

  Five years after the Civil War, North Carolina Republican state senator John W. Stephens was found murdered inside the Caswell County Courthouse. Stephens fought for the rights of freedpeople, and his killing by the Ku Klux Klan ultimately led to insurrection, Governor William W. Holden's impeachment, and the early unwinding of Reconstruction in North Carolina. In recounting Stephens's murder, the subsequent investigation and court proceedings, and the long-delayed confessions that revealed what actually happened at the courthouse in 1870, Drew A. Swanson tells a story of race, politics, and social power shaped by violence and profit. The struggle for dominance in Reconstruction-era rural North Carolina, Swanson argues, was an economic and ecological transformation. Arson, beating, and murder became tools to control people and landscapes, and the ramifications of this violence continued long afterward. The failure to prosecute anyone for decades after John Stephens's assassination left behind a vacuum, as each side shaped its own memory of Stephens and his murder. 
   
   
   
  The malleability of and contested storytelling around Stephens's legacy presents a window into the struggle to control the future of the South.
