A memoir of fathers and sons, baseball, a world at war, and second chances. "I loved [it]. You will, too" (Jim Morris, author of The Oldest Rookie). Gene Moore was a small-town Illinois farm boy whose passion for "America''s Pastime" made him a local legend. It wasn''t long before word spread, and the Brooklyn Dodgers came calling on the teenage phenom who could hit a ball a country mile. Headed for stardom, and his dream within reach, Gene''s future in the majors was cut short by World War II. In 1944, after joining the US Navy, Gene found himself on a top-secret mission: guarding German sailors captured from U-505, a submarine carrying one of the infamous Enigma decoders. Stuck with guard duty, he decided to bide the time by doing what he loved. Gene taught the POWs how to play baseball. It was a decision that would change Gene''s life forever. The story of a remarkable man told by his inspired son, "Gene''s journey from promise to despair and back again, set against a long war and an even longer post-war recovery . . . [is] a 20th-century epic that demonstrates how, sometimes, letting go of a dream is the only way to discover one''s great fortune" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). - E-bokEngelska, 2011

The "thoroughly fun . . . [and] crazy good" memoir about one man''s life and how it was changed by the legacy of a rockabilly legend (Chicago Sun-Times). Buddy Holly, icon: black horn-rimmed glasses, blue jeans, a white T-shirt, white socks, loafers, and "Peggy Sue." Not so much to Gary W. Moore. Admitting he "grew up in a Rock & Roll vacuum," Gary favored jazz. He couldn''t name a single Buddy Holly song. Buddy Rich? Yes. But that changed in a single evening when Gary was dragged along to a Winter Dance Party in Cedar Falls, Iowa—a tribute to Buddy''s final, tragic 1959 tour. It was headlined by musician extraordinaire John Mueller, whose uncanny recreation of the legend was hailed by Buddy''s own brother Travis as "the best I''ve ever seen." It took just one song to seize Gary''s heart and soul. From then on, for Gary, it was everything Buddy. In this inspiring "rock-and-rollercoaster of a read", Moore shares his personal journey to learn more about Buddy''s life, music, his influence, his impact, and the times in which he lived (Bill Guertin, author of Reality Sells). He''d meet Buddy''s friends and family, celebrities, Buddy Holly fans, and make a new friend himself in John Mueller. The result is "as American as apple pie and as compelling as Don McLean''s legendary hit about The Day the Music Died" (James Riordan, New York Times–bestselling author). - E-bokEngelska, 2016

A father and daughter, a secret past, and a search for redemption drive this haunting novel that "celebrates the complexities of love" (Joyce Faulkner). Sandy Richards is a music teacher, wife, and mother living a comfortable life in a small Midwestern town. But her warm smile and easy laugh hide a heavy burden. During her childhood, she was inseparable from her larger-than-life father, a World War II hero she adored. Sandy followed him everywhere, hung on his every word, and loved him with all her heart. Until, for reasons Sandy never understood, their relationship shattered—left broken to the day he died. With grief, regret, and anger, Sandy sorts through her father''s belongings to learn what went wrong, and to deal with all the unresolved pain of the past. Then, as if by providence, a stranger enters Sandy life. And everything changes once more. Exploring the forces in nature that are more powerful than ourselves, The Final Service is "a compelling and endearing" novel about the need for forgiveness and to forgive, and to embrace what matters most in life while it''s still within reach (James Riordan, New York Times–bestselling author). - Häftad, Engelska, 2025

God''s greatest gift to man or woman is their free will. Man''s greatest gift to God is the willful surrender of their free will back to God to do God''s will. (p. 7)
Your lies are what create the pebbles, the rocks, the boulders that interfere with the stream of God that flows within you. Lies strengthen your ego, blocking the flow of God. (p. 14)
It is important to become the glory on the mountaintop, not the little light in the valley. (p. 14)
The joke is you can never leave God. Wherever you go, there you are! (p. 47)
Become the buoy to flow across the waves of life! (p. 42)
"Never again, dear Lord, dear God, will I have someone else cry tears of pain because of me." (p. 18)
Your job is to rediscover the God within you so that everything you do emanates from the God within. So that when you face your guides and teachers and God at the end, you will be able to account for everything that you have done in the breath of the great white buffalo. (p. 21-22)
