"Willie has rare lights...rare lights!" Abraham Lincoln said to his secretary John Hay November 4, 1861 after the publication of Willie's poem "Lines on the Death of Colonel Baker' in the Washington Newspaper National Republican. The short life of William Wallace Lincoln has been given little attention in the biographies of his father, or in other writings on the Lincoln family. In 1850, in the Lincoln home in Springfield, Illinois, there came, just four days before Christmas on December 21 the winter solstice, a real live Christmas present, a baby boy. The child was named William Wallace after his Uncle Dr. William Smith Wallace originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania who had married Mary Lincoln's sister Frances Todd. He was of course, promptly called Willie. Ruth Painter Randall and Julia (Taft) Bayne have published books that do some shed some light on Willie's life but do not give Willie his due as a remarkable gifted boy, the favorite of his father and indeed most like him in temperament, intelligence, empathy and wit. When Willie tragically died in the White House at age 11 on February 20, 1862 of multiple diseases, most notably typhoid and smallpox, Lincoln was devastated. Willie's funeral on February 24 was the only time the whole federal government was shut down other than for a president. After years of research and two previously published historical novels featuring Willie Lincoln, the author has tracked down everything ever written about and everything Willie was alleged to have said from primary and secondary sources to finally bring this special lost son of Lincoln back to life and perhaps, as Willie had told his tutor Alexander Williamson in 1861 that he wanted to be a teacher or preacher, had he lived he may have even been president.

Break free. Before he died, Christy's daddy used to say that when you feel lost, follow the tail lights of the truck in front of you, and they'll get you somewhere safe. Christy keeps chasing those tail lights, but somehow, she's always still lost in Flint, Michigan. Like most teens in Flint, she's dying to leave this dying city. But she's got a secret that she's never told anyone, and it's keeping her chained like a dog to her dead-end life. And she'll never be able to make a fresh start until she's able to reveal that horrible truth and bring herself back into the light. Patrick Jones revisits his hometown of Flint, Michigan, and the darkness that has overtaken this impoverished city in a novel that reveals the chilling reality of growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in America today.

Download Purplynd Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Purplynd is a love story wrapped in a mystery—an infant is left at a daycare on the edge of the capital city, and the struggle between utopian dreams and dystopian realities grow with the child, until one battle determines which is the most powerful. Here is how one reader describes it: Purplynd is so much more than a bunch of great words strung together by a master writer. It is a magic carpet ride to the edges of the imagination, the universe, and one’s moral fabric. It is a vehicle for an adventure of the mind and spirit. It’s not just a great read; it’s a fast ride. It took me to places beyond my imagination, showed me red places in my soul, and challenged what I had settled on as my integrity—all while on a beautiful purple voyage. It is a magical, wonderful, inspiring political and theological journey.
