A Light on the Runway Author: Janet Haack
Publisher: Palmland Publishing Co.
ISBN 1-933678-14-3
$12.95
 In 1955 Janet Haack flew off from Wisconsin with her new husband, Don, in their two-seater Piper Super Cub named "Grasshopper." Headed for British Guiana, South America, they would set up a diamond-mining operation and their home in the wilds on the remote border, the Ireng River, 250 miles from the coast where they had a daughter and a son.
It’s the woman’s point of view of the life described by Don's book, Bush Pilot in Diamond Country. This book was selected as the April book of the month by the Charlotte Weekly News. |

Stem Cells Cancer & Me Author: John McNamara
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN 978-1-4343-1022-4
 This inspiring story of one man's confrontation with mortality, and the difficult -- and sometimes controversial -- decisions he had to make to save his life, Stem Cells Cancer & Me, candidly recounts the author's five-year battle with multiple myeloma, a rare and incurable form of cancer.
"We all travel the road of life and on occasion encounter road defects and detours," says McNamara. "Some of us will reach a detour and conceive what we think to be a dead end, only to find one of life's crossroads and a choice that must be made. Come along, travel with me on the five year journey and the choice that saved my life." |
