Bill Rush's exceptional journey continues to encourage and inspire all who aspire to live fully and contribute to society. Bill lived with a significant disability of quadriplegic cerebral palsy. He did not have use of his arms, hands or voice. Society's prejudices proved to be a greater obstacle than his disability in attaining his first life's goal of completing college. William (Bill) L. Rush chronicled his extraordinary life from childhood until graduation from the University of Nebraska -Lincoln in Journey Out of Silence, first published in 1986. This second edition brings back into print Bill's original chronicle of his personal "Journey Out of Silence." It also contains an introduction to Our Life Our Way, the sequel.
When fourteen-year-old Clem Crabtree loses two of his white king pigeons, he see them in the wild when he makes grocery deliveries to one of the two local houses of prostitution, which are near the store in Langston, Mississippi, a visible town of heavy racial discrimination after the hostilities in Korea are over. Permission to attempt to capture the birds is given by the brothel owner, alone and at night, who was a friend of the boy's deceased father.On a trip to the house, Clem sees part of a sexual encounter and is terrified, so he goes home. Later, after his fears subside, he makes other trips to the house (Nanny's), and on one of the later trips, he sees the owner and a patron of the house in an argument. The patron vows to kill the dago owner. The owner, Emanuel Flowers, wants Clem to do a favor. They agree to meet in secret at the local swimming hole, the boxcar hole.Clem is careful, so he hides his bike and himself to wait for the arrival of his friend. Other cars, even a police car, appear behind the friend, and as Flowers exits his vehicle, he is shot with a rifle and is then killed with a handgun that Clem sees and is horrified. He sees them take a child out of the vehicle, blindfold the boy, give him a shot in the arm, and toss both bodies into the boxcar hole. They leave, and the terrified boy does not know what to do. He swims out and rescues the child. On investigation, he sees that the child is the grandson of Salmo Mancha, a New Orleans Mafia boss, and Mancha is the older brother of the just-killed Flowers.Clem manages to get himself and the child on a train toward New Orleans under the guise of going to the Scout jamboree in Houston, Texas. Clem and the child are met in Picayune, Mississippi, by Salmo Mancha and an entourage. Clem gives the details to Mancha and his men.Before the shooting incident, Clem's mother is married to a local well-to-do attorney, and the two leave Langston for a six-week honeymoon to Bermuda and then on to Europe. Since his stepfather's employees do not know much about him, he can make do until Mancha takes him back to Langston for his September classes. Successfully placed in his new home, he is ready to make a go of school but comes down with an illness.Awakening from a bad dream and deathly ill, he is comforted by a man that he thinks is his new stepfather. But it is his new grandfather: Emerson Hebert. The man and ill child bond over the several days it takes the parents to get home from their honeymoon, and they make plans to assist the FBI and local policemen in solving the killing in cold blood. As the new grandfather, a well-to-do attorney, learns from Clem what he has seen and has made him fearful for his own life, his grandfather and the Mafia boss go after the killers. Hebert is seeking legal justice from the courts; Mancha is seeking street revenge, Salmo's way, to hell with the courts and their justice.

Our Life Our Way, A Memoir of Active Faith, Profound Love, and Courageous Disability Rights explores an extraordinary love story grown out of engagement with both disability rights advocacy and Christian faith communities. This important memoir contains thoughtful, often-entertaining, and sometimes heart-wrenching anecdotes of a couple's journey to create their profoundly intimate relationship and Christian marriage, in a world not yet ready for them. William Rush and Christine Robinson's timely meeting, when the United States was close to granting civil rights to all Americans with disabilities, sets the stages for their intensely human and difficult journey of breaking down many societal and systemic barriers to full participation in the larger society. How will the couple deal with the local KKK grand dragon who is threatening William, an outspoken person with a significant disability? How will they respond to posturing state politicians using persons with disabilities as bargaining chips with potentially dire consequences? How will they react to well-meaning but not always well-informed government officials pushing quick fixes? Against such opposition, can they create their own life, supported by their local disability rights and Christian faith communities? Girded by a local Christian congregation's willingness to engage with this nontraditional couple, their faith is tested and grows stronger through much adversity. Faith-filled acts of mercy and grace and active and meaningful participation provide restoration on their arduous journey. Deepening their relationship with God results in a desire for a Christian marriage. Through a series of vignettes, several deeply human themes are explored: developing enduring relationships, standing up for one's rights and advocating for one's needs, and what it means to growing deeply in love with a faithful God while tribulations abound. Through sheer grit, they model for each of us how to create our own lives, our own way.

An essential collection of nonfiction essays by the National Book Award winning author of J R and A Frolic of His Own William Gaddis published only four novels during his lifetime, but with those works he earned himself a reputation as one of America's greatest novelists. Less well known is Gaddis's body of excellent critical writings. Here is a wide range of his original essays, some published for the first time. From "'Stop Player. Joke No. 4, '" Gaddis's first national publication and the basis for his projected history of the player piano, to the title essay about missed opportunities in America during the past fifty years, to "Old Foes with New Faces," an examination of the relationship between the writer and the problem of religion-this diverse collection displays the power of an autonomous literary intelligence in an age increasingly dominated by political and religious conservatism.
