How will a young family in 1830s Alabama break free from their society's prevailing beliefs? Do individuals really have the power to change the direction in which their society is moving? Can love transcend the boundaries we draw around our lives? Red Feather tackles these questions and more while illustrating powerful spiritual truths that are every bit as true today as they were over a hundred years ago. As Leah Stimpson's story winds through backwoods swamps, elegant port towns, and stormy Gulf waters, she illuminates exactly how the people of our not-so-distant past were able to choose God's light over man's desire for darkness. By learning from them, we just might be able to do the same.

"Red Feather captured my imagination from the beginning. I felt like one of the children sitting on the couch absorbed in Red Feather and Samuel's innocent, beautiful romance-a story that demonstrates a higher truth of a far deeper love. It is as if Leah jumped into that great river of inspiration and let the current take her." -Stephanie B. Morris, portrait artist in Mobile, Alabama

Proper decorum has never come easily to Carlotta Anne Fairleigh -- not even tonight, when the lovely, impetuous miss is finally making her debut. As she waits to make her entrance, she can't help wondering about the darkened house next door, the supposedly abandoned home of Hayden St. Clair, the man society has dubbed the "Murderous Marquess." Certainly one small peek through his window before the festivities would be harmless ...

And, naturally, this latest "adventure" ends in disaster, thoroughly compromising the budding debutante's reputation and leaving her suddenly, unthinkably ... betrothed!

Yet there is something thrilling -- and surprisingly tender -- about her dark, unreachable groom, and the desire in his eyes is undeniable.

""Every day is a surprise. In the total scheme of our lives, however, the moments are mostly minor personal tragedies and adventures so we just keep on keepin' on ..."" Most surprises in life can be managed, but sometimes events conspire to radically alter our existence. "The Moment It All Changed" explores this theme in, a collection of intriguing short stories filled with dynamic characters caught in mid-flight through adventures they never expected. A brave young girl leads twenty men out of Castro's brutal grip. A young engineer finds himself swimming under the ice of the Wind River, desperately searching for an air pocket. A young mother is paralyzed in a fall from the roof and fears dying alone. Author Steven R.

Wrapping life-changing events within the mantle of humor, adventure, and spiritual awakening, "The Moment It All Changed" is an anthology to be savored.

The East African political climate is such that nobody, especially the minorities, dare voice their concerns and fears. They suffer and endure in silence and always wait for better times to come. Those who tried to speak out have never seen the light of day again. The author has lived most of his life in East Africa and he has been exposed to pre- and post-independence survivors who had a lot to say but no one to listen to them. They found a lending ear and the author was a patient listener.

He decided he was going to fill that void, however controversial it may turn out to be, and recapture history in its reality. Maybe even correct the misconceptions of history that were created to adjust the balance of popularity and loyalty to powers or races in positions of authority.
