Joe Henry's Journey, by Marcia Melton, a historical novel for young readers, follows eleven-year-old Joe Henry Grummond and his Pa on an often perilous journey to find gold. When they board a steamboat to go up the "Big Muddy" Missouri River to Fort Benton, Montana, in 1862, they hope to escape the desperation of the Civil War in their home state of Kentucky and make money in the gold fields of Montana to take back to the family they leave behind.Little does Joe Henry know that this river trip will lead him to untamed wild places where ambush, robberies, claim jumpers, lawless towns, and back-breaking work are the everyday stuff of life in the Bannack, Montana, gold camp. Along the way, Joe Henry learns about many different kinds of people living in the west, finds a best friend, and meets the prettiest girl he's ever seen. He learns much more than how to pan gold. This frontier territory brings lessons in the struggle between law and lawlessness, vigilantism, and the question of what is justice.This novel accurately portrays the history of its time and places from the viewpoint of a child and wrapped in a story of adventure that will hold a young reader's interest.
Trafficking in Retribution: One man's righteous, reckless attempt to retaliate against sex trafficking by rescuing one victim.
Kevin and Amy Stevens appear to be average Americans ready to live out a typical existence - until they find faith in God and are assaulted by the horrific tale of millions around the world who are ensnared by sex traffickers. The tragic stories behind the numbers lead them into gritty rescue work alongside another committed couple in a large Southeast Asian city for more than a decade. However, when the flow of traumatized victims and perverted customers and corrupt officials never ceases, Kevin snaps, picturing his wife and daughters being victimized and slowly but inevitably having their souls and humanity torn apart. That incites Kevin to recklessly snatch one sex-trafficking victim off the street in a vengeful attempt to make her the sympathetic face of this brutal crime industry in order to create intense worldwide pressure to fight it. What he doesn't know is that this beautiful, intelligent, innocent victim is meant to be a gift for the police colonel who allows this dirty business to thrive in his district because of the bribes he and his subordinates receive. That's when the trafficking bosses, their enforcers and the police colonel ruthlessly go after Kevin and his friends in order to exact revenge and to get back their property. As the trap begins to shut, how will the families and their agency keep from being destroyed by the merciless men demanding retribution?

“Richard Pryor was chain lightning to everything around him. He shocked the world through with human electricity. He blew all our comfortable balance to hell. And Furious Cool captures it brilliantly.” —Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World SpinRichard Pryor was arguably the single most influential performer of the second half of the twentieth century, and certainly he was the most successful black actor/comedian ever. Controversial and somewhat enigmatic during his life, Pryor’s performances opened up a whole new world of possibilities, merging fantasy with angry reality in a way that wasn’t just new—it was theretofore unthinkable. Now, in this groundbreaking and revelatory work, Joe and David Henry bring him alive again both as a man and as an artist, providing an in-depth appreciation of his talent and his lasting influence, as well as an insightful examination of the world he lived in and the myriad influences that shaped both his persona and his art. “Brothers David and Joe Henry have brought Richard Pryor back to pulsating life, affirming both his humanity and his immortality as a comic--and tragic--genius.” —The Huffington Post “A sleek, highly literate biography that places the comic in the pop-cultural context of his times.” —Bloomberg News “It would be enough if Furious Cool was a profile of Pryor’s uncanny talents, psychic turmoil, and ungovernable behavior, but it’s also a fascinating history of black comedy . . . Furious Cool captures Pryor’s frenetic routines and stage presence on the page . . . The inextricable legacy of Richard Pryor—his boldness, inventiveness, candor, and empathy—lives on.” —Los Angeles Magazine “An addictively readable study of the path of this outsized talent . . . Someday, when fewer people know Richard Pryor’s name, Furious Cool will be the best defense against the worst sort of forgetting--the kind that involves who we are now, who we loved once, and why.” —Esquire
