An explosion! Downtown Baltimore was burning. Jackson Freeman depended on the docks for his livelihood. Leaving his family in the hands of his mother, he and his brothers fought the flames for twenty-seven hours. Realizing the hopelessness of the situation, Jackson gave in to his exhaustion and arrived home only to be told his whole family had expired from a horrible illness. To rebuild a life for himself, Jackson sought out his German friend Carl to begin what they had dreamt of together, owning a farm in partnership. Now, Jackson could be independent from the White man. Unfortunately, Carl saw a greater vision, and had already begun a more lucrative automobile 'fix-it' shop. As Jackson saw Baltimore beginning to rise from the ashes, he was even more determined to finally do what he had always wanted. He would go for it alone. Besides, he had heard land was cheap in Ohio. While on his way, Jackson hooked up with some shady characters who offered him a 'partnership' in the sale of the goods they were taking to Stanton, Ohio in exchange for his money to buy a horse for their oversized wagon. Unfortunately, an axle problem kept them from their destination and they turned their wagon into Anna Shein's farm. There, Jackson came face to face with his destiny: meeting the White woman he would learn to hate, the woman he would grow to respect and the only person who could teach him farming. Through their years together, their trials and tribulations were many. Even though a love/hate relationship developed between them, Jackson's drive and perseverance won Anna's respect. Were they really in love?

I was only sixteen when my family and I were pulled away from our home and country. My name is Alicja (Moskaluk) Edwards. I was born and raised in Poland and now am 77 years old. For the last 17 years I have been writing a story, or rather memoirs of my family's imprisonment in the Soviet Union during World War II, in Stalin's bloody era. We were forcibly taken from our home in the eastern part of Poland to the Asiatic state of Kazachstan, where we were condemned to slave labor in the year of 1940. Over the three agonizing years we faced mistreatment and degradation, sickness, hunger and death, till our release from bondage and fight to freedom across the Caspian Sea to Iran, where I met my husband, an American Army lieutenant. My story was originally meant to answer many questions posed by my family and friends, but somehow the explanation of what happened to me and the other forgotten war victims grew into enlarged vignettes of nonfiction events and history, unknown or forgotten by the rest of the world. (I say unknown or forgotten because I have yet to hear or read about any of the atrocities inflicted on Polish survivors imprisoned in Soviet Russia during World War II ---- could I be the only one alive?)

Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.
