The year is 1942, and while America is reeling from the first blows of World War II, nine-year-old Charlie Osgood Wood spends his days planting victory gardens and collecting scrap metal for the war effort, as well as delivering newspapers, going to Orioles baseball games, and goofing around with his younger sister. Readers of all generations will cherish a sweet and moving book about a very special time in our nation's history.

Award winning former Chicago Tribune staff photographer and travel writer Charles Osgood traces the journeys of his ancestors during their travels to Europe in 1914, at the brink of WWI. A century later, in 2014, he followed their itinerary to see what had changed, and find what remains the same. The typed journals of his great aunt and grandfather, embellished with their snap shots and colored post cards, are reproduced exactly as he found them, with dog-eared yellowed pages and faded images that look and feel like the originals. His blog/journal, emblazoned with his own digital visual discoveries, documents the contemporary and ever-changing continent, often revealing how little seems to have changed. So much of what his ancestors saw appears today almost mystically as they describe it, despite an intervening century and the mass destruction of two world wars. At the risk of disappointing potential readers, this book is not about Dutch Love, but the euphoric excitement of travel, history, contrast, and daily surprise. On April 2, 1914, my great aunt, Winifred Salisbury, sailed for the Azores to begin her eleven week odyssey through Europe. On June 16, 1914, her brother-in-law (my grandfather) Fredrik Hansen, began his only trip back to his homeland, Sweden. It is unclear why they both chose that year to travel, but perhaps fear of war created a certain urgency. A century later, on August 18, 2014, I set off to discover what remained of the pre-WWI Europe

During the late 1970s, 1980s, and into the 1990s, South Florida became the primary point of entry for thousands of pounds of marijuana and cocaine into the United States, controlled by the Colombian drug cartels. The influx of cash created an inbalance in the Florida economy along with the violence to control the cash. During the late 1970s into the early 1980s, the drug-related homicides went from 349 per year to 621, with law enforcement outgunned ten to one. It was a beautiful South Florida day with palm trees waving in the cool ocean breeze with a clear blue sky--a typical spring day. TJ, a young, dedicated police officer on his way to work his normal patrol shift, had no idea what that day or the next several years would bring. TJ would soon find himself undercover in the seedy and violent world of drug smuggling. He would find himself working in the gray areas at the outside edges of the law, outgunned and outmanned.
