Here’s the set-up:
Alonzo shares a slice of his life with us, informative and instructive moments that will recall simpler times. A reminder that service to others is not always what we expect, but a chance to find meaning and purpose in life.
Over the past three and a half years, it’s been hard to find much inspiration and motivation in public life. The slow, yet systematic building of walls – both real and imagined, has caused us to become isolated from the other side of these walls.This long feared, yet poorly anticipated global pandemic has placed us into a contaminated and chaotic Coronaverse where international discourse and exchanges are frozen and uncertain. We find ourselves in a very real and tangible state of social isolation.

I am offering this book to recall simpler times. I want to remind us how national service in the Peace Corps and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) abroad offered a chance to help. When service abroad offered a chance to find meaning and purpose.

Andean Adventures is for the younger generations who have seen their opportunities and futures seized from them. It is also for those with loved ones derailed by the disruption and the deformed public discourse.

Are you considering life options overseas once we get through to the other side of this Coronaverse? Are you interested in finding opportunities for greater meaning and purpose? Are you interested in a story of failure, redemption, challenges, faith, and perseverance?

Independent of which of the above peaks your interest, I have stories to share that will hopefully shed some light on unexpected life lessons. My life took a direction I had never anticipated from the start, and I served overseas thinking that I would then return to a normal life. That proved not to be the case.

I was shot at, arrested, and threatened with expulsion. I also encountered the most unexpected surprises along the way. There are lessons and experiences that are informative and instructive, representing an important slice of my life story and that of many wonderful people.

The Andean Adventures here are the first which really determined my life, and although I would go on to others, these were formative and decisive.
Buy your copy now and allow my life experiences to shed some light on yours. SPANISH EDITION available at https://tinyurl.com/AventurasAnd
A memoir of public health, community development service and spiritual discovery overseas in Peace Corps and nongovernmental organizations and USAID, sharing with self-deprecating humor experiences across the Andes and Latin America. Full of anecdotes and some remarkable stories from Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru.

A lot of reflecting on the role and structure of foreign assistance, on religion, and on other topics many of us spend time questioning and dealing with. For some, a provocative discussion and meditation on searching for meaning and purpose after college. A story of successes, failures, redemption, challenges, faith and perseverance.

Doctor Alonzo writes with humor and wisdom, and shares his amazing journey, from his Peace Corps days through the beginning of his career with the US Agency for International Development. Along the way, he shares insights about life, love, religion, politics, and shares both his successes, failures, disappointments and lessons learned.

In Pursuit of Flavor: The Beloved Classic Cookbook from the Acclaimed Author of The Taste of Country Cooking

by Edna Lewis

Here’s the set-up:

The classic cookbook from “the first lady of Southern cooking” (NPR), featuring a new foreword by Mashama Bailey, star of Netflix documentary series Chef’s Table.

Decades before cornbread, shrimp and grits, and peach cobbler were mainstays on menus everywhere, Edna Lewis was pioneering the celebration of seasonal food as a distinctly American cuisine.

In this James Beard Foundation Cookbook Hall of Fame-inducted cookbook, Miss Lewis (as she was almost universally known) shares the recipes of her childhood, spent in a Virginia farming community founded by her grandfather and his friends after emancipation, as well as those that made her one of the most revered American chefs of all time. Interspersed throughout are personal anecdotes, cooking insights, notes on important Southern ingredients, and personally developed techniques for maximizing flavor.

Across six charmingly illustrated chapters—From the Gardens and Orchards; From the Farmyard; From the Lakes, Steams, and Oceans; For the Cupboard; From the Bread Oven and Griddle; and The Taste of Old-fashioned Desserts—encompassing almost 200 recipes, Miss Lewis captures the spirit of the South. From Whipped Cornmeal with Okra; Pan-Braised Spareribs; and Benne Seed Biscuits to Thirteen-Bean Soup; Pumpkin with Sautéed Onions and Herbs; a Salad of Whole Tomatoes Garnished with Green Beans and Scallions; and Raspberry Pie Garnished with Whipped Cream, In Pursuit of Flavor is a modern classic and a timeless compendium of Southern cooking at its very best.

Parenting trends and fads come and go, but their ill-conceived teachings and poor priorities can have a drastic lasting effect on kids.

  • ways to empower your kids and regain control
  • setting boundaries with consequences
  • teaching core values

These important elements, when applied to earnest and loving parenting, will last a lifetime. Parents will actually enjoy being with their children and their children will feel safe, stable, supported, proud, and loved.

This book reads like a long-desired manual for parenting your toddler.

You will get easy to implement tools and strategies for:

  • Dealing with toddler tantrums
  • Potty training your toddler
  • How to communicate with your toddler
  • How to improve your patience
  • How to get your child to sleep
  • How to raise a spirited child
  • Help for picky eaters
  • Breaking habits
  • How to deal with your child’s aggression

This book covers everything you need to Raise Happy Toddlers!

YOU can be the parent you have always desired to be and no longer feel like a failure.

Raising Happy Toddlers: How to Build Great Parenting Skills and Stop Yelling at your Kids was created from experience, deep knowledge, and proven success from someone who knows kids. It’s written in Celia Kibler’s real voice and language, one that comes from active involvement in coaching parents and teaching the youngest children of all different and unique abilities. It is based on more than thirty years of real-life parenting, first-hand contact and successes of thousands of happy, focused, and empathetic children.

Trendy parenting philosophies and helicopter-parenting are on the wane. Parents need practical advice on raising compassionate, stable, kind and empowered kids without losing their own parental control. Celia Kibler provides the manageable tactics that all families can implement to reduce the chaos in their household and ultimately raise future adults who are grateful, patient, confident and self-secure.

As Theodosia sickens with the fatal disease that will finally kill her, Mary and Burr are drawn together… The Secret Wife of Aaron Burr by Susan Holloway Scott

Here’s the set-up:
Inspired by a woman and events forgotten by history, bestselling author Susan Holloway Scott weaves together carefully researched fact and fiction to tell the story of Mary Emmons, and the place she held in the life—and the heart—of the notorious Aaron Burr.

He was a hero of the Revolution, a brilliant politician, lawyer, and very nearly president; a skillful survivor in a raw new country filled with constantly shifting loyalties. Today Aaron Burr is remembered more for the fatal duel that killed rival Alexander Hamilton. But long before that single shot destroyed Burr’s political career, there were other dark whispers about him: that he was untrustworthy, a libertine, a man unafraid of claiming whatever he believed should be his.

Sold into slavery as a child in India, Mary Emmons was brought to an America torn by war. Toughened by the experiences of her young life, Mary is intelligent, resourceful, and strong. She quickly gains the trust of her new mistress, Theodosia Prevost, and becomes indispensable in a complicated household filled with intrigue—especially when the now-widowed Theodosia marries Colonel Aaron Burr. As Theodosia sickens with the fatal disease that will finally kill her, Mary and Burr are drawn together into a private world of power and passion, and a secret, tangled union that would have shocked the nation . . .
