After several suicide attempts, five marriages, four children, and constant bouts with alcoholism and drug abuse, Rena came to the life-changing realization that she actually longed for life, real life, and not the unfulfilled one she had endured all these years. Rena knew she needed help; she needed something more powerful than man could offer, something powerful, like her grandmother’s Bible stories and prayers told to her as a child. Finally Broken addresses the age-old question, “Are we a product of our environment?” If you enjoy roller coasters, you will see the similarities between the “ride” and the life-defining choices made by a young girl who was a casualty of living in a dysfunctional family. Rena’s story shows how she reached her “bottom,” which is different for each individual, before she finally broke the generational mold of self-destruction and learned to become a functional part of a family and society. Having always felt alone and scared, Rena never realized that God had continued to place people in her life to guide and comfort her should she ever decide to call on them. We all have heard the saying, “Out of the mouths of babes.” Rena was eventually led to the arms of the Lord by her daughter, Jenny, who refused to give up on her mother. Although very strained at times, Rena and Jenny have always had a very close relationship. Rena has tried to keep true to her promise to her children that they would never go through the pain and agony she did as a child, and no matter the life paths these children decided to take, they would know the feeling of a mother’s love. submitted by - Rena Reagin Montford
Dr. Rudolph Alvarado’s compelling biography captures the story of Joe Hernandez, a Mexican-American, who despite his ethnic background became thoroughbred horse racing’s greatest race caller at a time when most Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were being repatriated to Mexico due to America’s Great Depression. Alvarado’s biography uncovers the extent to which Hernandez went to fit into this Anglo-American dominated world, and reveals that Hernandez’s impact on the sport of thoroughbred horse racing went far beyond that of being a race caller. This is the first biography ever written about a Mexican-American involved in the sport of horse racing and the first to capture the social impact that sports have played in the lives of Mexican-Americans. submitted by - Rudolph Alvarado

France. Germany. Italy. Russia. Poland. Czech Republic. Romania. Mexico. Japan. Iran. All over the world -- everywhere except in the U.S. -- the legendary Jean Gabin continues to be considered one of the greatest movie stars of all time. In the U.S., Gabin is definitely considered to be a cult figure (in 2002, twin Gabin festivals were presented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and at the Walter Reade Theatres in New York), but for the vast moviegoing public, and just like a lot of the greats, he's fallen off of the radar. That's about to change, however, because in 2008, Allenwood Press presents the very first English-language (and two-volume) book about Jean Gabin, ever. (There's not even an old, out-of-print book about Gabin in English, if you can believe that!) It's WORLD'S COOLEST MOVIE STAR: THE COMPLETE 95 FILMS (AND LEGEND) OF JEAN GABIN by CHARLES ZIGMAN submitted by - Charles Zigman

During his career as a commercial diver, Tony Wells survived plenty of dangerous excitement, including two near-drownings, a deadly diving disease, illegal imprisonment and several treasure hunts for sunken gold. In a friendly and unassuming tone, Wells happily recounts his deep sea adventures and the wisdom they granted him in his riveting autobiography Black Man under the Deep Blue Sea: Memoirs of a Black Commercial Diver in Southeast Asia. Wells' globetrotting diving career has taken him to jobs in 19 different countries, from Pakistan, to China, to the United Kingdom. After meeting quite a variety of people from different cultures and races, Wells found that most people, no matter where they're from want the same things in life: to be healthy, happy and find love. "My message is that no matter what race or gender you are, don't let ignorant or jealous people put you down or tell you what you 'can' and 'can't' do," Wells says. "Anything is possible, so if you want to do something, just go out and do it." As the only black American diver to work in Southeast Asia's offshore oilfields during the 80s and 90s, Wells relates from his own experience what it means to overcome challenges and exceed others' expectations. Wells' diving experience includes freelance work for oil companies, a stressful job that required dangerous oilfield support work. He also participated in several treasure hunts, most notably a two-year search for a 500-year-old Portuguese ship. It was during another treasure hunt that Wells and a friend found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and were illegally detained by some corrupt policemen in Indonesia until a hefty bribe freed them from jail. For an authentic read, full of truly exotic adventure, plenty of nail-biting suspense and honest humor, look no farther than “Black Man under the Deep Blue Sea” to take you into incredible excitement, far beyond the realms of ordinary life. submitted by - Tony Wells

"A Soldier for Justice" is the true story of courage, outrage and determination.
