My F-Word is Forgiveness is Herb Agee's first book. His warmth, wit and wisdom are a combination of best friend, companion, pastor, brother, and humorist with emphasis on humorist. From Groceries, Outhouses and Chewing Tobacco to The F-Word, Agee leads the reader on a roller coaster ride of shared human experiences and emotions. As a former hospital chaplain, police officer and church pastor for many years, he has shared life and death on deep personal levels with thousands. Presently an assistant pastor at Englewood United Methodist Church in Englewood, Florida, Agee rides a Harley and hangs out with the local bikers and goes by the nickname, Padre. He also has a website with a unique concept ministry, www.StFrancisHelps.com. Through vignettes, observations, musings and ramblings, Agee goes from the heights of hilarity to the peace and quiet of introspection. The real life application approach to the observations and autobiographical experiences are based upon the author's beautifully simplistic approach to life, living and loving. Agee's appeal extends beyond gender and age to touch the heart and sense of humor of all. My F-Word is Forgiveness is a book for every reader. F-Words for this book are Fantastic, Fun, and Faith.

Christopher Abbott was born in Philadelphia, but made in Ocean City (formerly known as Peck's Beach). As a college student and then an elementary school teacher, he spent summers as the dining room manager of Watson's for 12 years. Inspired by the lifelong friendships he's had with his Watson's crew ever since, the intersection of multiple lives over many decades, and the faith that "All things work to good for those who love the Lord," Don’t Leave Me, French Fries is told with Abbott's signature humor, optimism and compassion for the human spirit. Abbott is a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, author, realtor and resident of Ocean City, NJ. You will still find him on Morningside beach.

This was the summer that would change my life. No more being what everyone expected. No more doing what everyone else wanted. So when Luke came into my life, I decided to keep him a secret. Maybe he as a dead–ringer for notorious Hollywood bad boy Trent Yves. And it was possible that everything he told me was a lie. And yes, I was probably asking for trouble. But all I saw was Luke—sweet, funny, caring—someone who would let me be the real me. But which was the real him?

In the vein of The Glass Castle, Breaking Night is the stunning memoir of a young woman who at age fifteen was living on the streets, and who eventually made it into Harvard. Liz Murray was born to loving but drug-addicted parents in the Bronx. In school she was taunted for her dirty clothing and lice-infested hair, eventually skipping so many classes that she was put into a girls' home. At age fifteen, Liz found herself on the streets. She learned to scrape by, foraging for food and riding subways all night to have a warm place to sleep. When Liz's mother died of AIDS, she decided to take control of her own destiny and go back to high school, often completing her assignments in the hallways and subway stations where she slept. Liz squeezed four years of high school into two, while homeless; won a New York Times scholarship; and made it into the Ivy League. Breaking Night is an unforgettable and beautifully written story of one young woman's indomitable spirit to survive and prevail, against all odds.
