Maybe Granddaddy’s ’55 Chevy Plus 30 ½ Other Stories Author: Jerry Hobbs
 1) Why hijack a commercial aircraft flying out of Boston only to take its passengers to Canada?
2) How can a counterfeit penny be lucky? 3) What’s the proper etiquette when someone is found trapped in a man-eating plant? 4) What’s so important about a couple of missing buttons? 5) What does the size of a person’s bladder have to do with finding true love? 5 ½) How can a book have half a story? These five and a half questions will be answered as you read the 31 ½ stories of fiction contained herein. The one thing the stories have in common is that they have nothing in common. Some are funny, some are serious, some are short and some are long. Regardless of the type or length, each was created with one purpose in mind: to provide entertainment. Maybe Granddaddy’s ’55 ChevyPlus 30 ½ Other Stories can be found at www.lulu.com ID = 490818 By Jerry Hobbs. |

The Road from Chapel Hill by Joanna Catherine Scott
Publisher: Penguin/Berkley
Date: October 31, 2006  The Road from Chapel Hilldeals with resistance to the Confederacy in Civil War North Carolina, and was inspired by the true story of a runaway slave from Chapel Hill.
At its heart is the impossible love between a white girl and the slave she owns and liberates, his struggle to seize freedom in his own two hands, and the work of a group of Union loyalists who risk their lives to help dissenters from the Southern cause. |
