Love and Happiness by: Ben Burgess Jr,
Book Synopsis:
Karen has it all: a handsome husband, beautiful twin daughters, a lovely home and a great job. Karen also has a secret; she’s cheating on her husband, with not one man, but two.
On the outside her life seems perfect, but on the inside Karen feels neglected, bored and unappreciated. Yearning for affection and excitement, she falls into the arms of first Raheem and then Tyrell. Out of fear of losing her husband and breaking up her family, Karen ends the affairs but things don’t turn out how she planned. When Karen’s dirty secrets are revealed she must fight to keep her family together.
Chris is doing all he can to hold his marriage together. He loves Karen but she grows more distant every day. When she starts coming home later and later, he suspects she is being unfaithful. When Chris accidentally takes her cell phone what he finds changes their lives forever.
When tragedy strikes, Karen must decide if she should sacrifice her happiness for her husband’s love, and Chris wonders if he should stay with Karen because he still loves her despite her infidelity. But if they do stay together, will they ever find love and happiness again?

Review of Temperature of Art
Fantastic Poetry!
This book, by T. Ponder contains a beautiful collection of poems. They are short, but they convey the writer's passion for life. I must admit one of the poems I didn't like, but just because I didn't, it doesn't mean you won't. The overall collection of poetry was superb. I laughed at one in particular. I won't say too much because it woyld be a spoiler alert. All I will say it has a surprise within it. Here's one of the poems from this interesting book:
Poem; "Wonder Woman"
All of a sudden you're bleak
I wonder what made you change
The qualities I used to see
In you still remain
Seems genuineness is detained
I wonder what made you change
Stress, makeup, or confidence
Looks aren't everything
Although you have them
Personality is key, you got it
Confident, less makeup, no stress
Small measures with no progress
Life is like a quest
Woman I wonder where we could go
There's a couple of short stories near the end of the book. One of which is about the author. They were pretty good, but not necessarily my cup of tea. However, this doesn't mean other people won't like it. By the way, Mr. Ponder has persevered through tough times in his life, such as the lost of is mom to cancer. To quote from his bio: "T. Ponder writes to touch readers through realism, insight, and humor. Covering topics such as: love, depression, achievement, and life experience." He's certainly an indie author who's on the rise! Overall I'd say this book is a must read.

Two Interesting Books I've Read!
On this blog, I will occasionally give book reviews. Here are a couple of books I've read that to me are must reads! The two books: "In His Way" by Rebecca Duvall and "The Five Negro Presidents" by: J. A. Rogers.
I want to start off first with my thoughts on "In His way" by: Rebecca Duvall. I will not give any spoilers because I want people to read it for themselves. "In His Way" is a very inspirational book. The author, Mrs. Duvall writes about the trials and tribulations that she's been dealing with in her personal life. The title talks about how she used to be "In His (God's) Way" but now she's letting God use her. There's something a lot of us Christians, and even Christians can learn by reading her book. Whether Christian or not, people will be inspired by reading this book. One thing I was reminded by while reading this book is...that with Jesus there's always hope!

"The Five Negro Presidents" is a book that will open the eyes of those who read it. This book was recommended to me by someone I know. So I decided to buy it. I was curious. Could this be possible? Obama wasn't the first black President? Who is covering up this lie from the masses and why? This book was written by J. A. Rogers, a black journalist, in 1965. Yes I said it, originally published in 1965! So when the Civil Rights Movement was going on, this book was in existence? The book like the title says, chronicles the stories of 5 U.S. Presidents that had black/African ancestry. One of the men was even quoted, by reporters, as saying "who knows one of my ancestors may have jumped the fence" when asked about his possible black ancestry. I recommend this book for all regardless of race! Four of these men are named in the book, but I don't want to give away spoilers. All I will say is a couple of men who signed the Declaration of Independence are believed to have had black ancestry. Most of the men mentioned in this book, if not all, are well known. The 5th man is not mentioned in this book by name. Why is that? There could be possible theories. I know the unnamed 5th man was still living at the time the book was originally released. The other 4 were deceased. I hope that didn't spoil it for you. I desire everyone to read "The Five Negro Presidents". Get it today!
