This book was written in honor of Amber Nicole Birmingham, who lost her fight with osteosarcoma, a type of cancer that starts in the bones. Here are her reflections of courage and insight as her life intertwines with her family, friends, and doctors. Her email writings describe what she was going through during her three year battle with cancer. Amber was a gifted writer who could portray her thoughts and feelings vividly. Now her writings and those who communicated with her are compiled into this book of remembrance. Not only is this a tribute to Amber's life of hope, courage, and love, but this book can be beneficial to anyone touched with cancer, whether as a caregiver, family, or friend. It can help in better understanding what someone is going through emotionally and mentally. You will see the importance of being surrounded with a great support system, which was of tremendous comfort to Amber. If, as many believe, the meaning of one's life and existence is to find one's own special gifts, and once these gifts are found, one's purpose is to give those gifts away. Her family, friends, and associates believed Amber fulfilled this belief.

Biographies & Memoirs

Growing up in a small town in northeast Nebraska, author Bob Bohlken was surrounded by country folk and their colorful language. Many of their curious expressions and down-home sayings are no longer commonplace, as they have faded with time and developing technology. Bohlken has chronicled these sayings and expressions from an almost lost early rural culture into this entertaining guide. He has shown that the power of verbal suggestion can give differing meanings to words and expressions. These sayings about events, objects, experiences, and country living are colored with allusions from the past and touched with a bit of humor. They touch on behaviors, common sense, weather, money, relationships, food, sports and more. Some sayings may appear to be crude and crass, but they are authentic. If you're ready to chew the fat and strike while the iron is hot, then this book's for you.
