GRITS FOR THE RIBS, True-life Stories and Selected Poems, is perceptive, imaginative and inspirational. Part memoir, part soulfully rhythmical . . . will fuel the imagination of everyone who reads it! This special book is filled with truth. Haven't we all met someone with real grit who when they got right down to the nitty gritty of it plugged away until achieving their goal? For Janet Anderson, a lot of that kind of inspiration came from Mud'ear, Big Mama, and Big Daddy Percy. The other kind came when they served farm fresh Mississippi-style buttered grits smothered with blackened catfish and new eggs from the hen house over-easy. This book is about that sort of encouragement. Like grits, it's designed to fortify, inspire, and stick to the ribs. "Take a minute, still yourself and enjoy this gift Janet has shared. Your faith will be deepened, your heart warmed and your mind challenged." -CEO Phyllis Enzor, philanthropist "The honesty of Janet Anderson's writing gives us a profound reminder that our futures, indeed our salvations, are undeniably linked to weighing our past." -Yvonne J. Combs, PhD "GRITS FOR THE RIBS has passion.

BETWEEN November 1997 and July 1998 then-government whip Janet Anderson was given the task of writing nightly reports to Her Majesty The Queen on that day's business in Parliament. That role as Vice Chamberlain is steeped in history, going back to Henry VIII, but she was told that Her Majesty did not like dry-as-dust missives, and would welcome something a "bit gossipy." Janet took to the job with gusto. This was a period when the honeymoon with the voters enjoyed by Tony Blair's New Labour Government was coming to an end and Britain was heading towards war. Janet covered such heavyweight issues, but spiced up her reports with all the gossip, rumours and drink-fuelled humour sweeping the Palace of Westminster. In a chatty, increasingly informal - but always proper - way she referred in her missives to Pre-Menstrual Tension, Champagne parties, Christmas shopping, and which woman MPs were rumoured to be pregnant. She was also delightfully and unashamedly forthright about colleagues on both sides of the House. She told the Queen that: John Bercow, now Commons Speaker, was "odious" and a "nasty piece of work" who raised "bogus" points of order. Twice-Oscar-winner Glenda Jackson constantly missed debates as transport minister. The Ulster Unionists were a "sour bunch." Former war correspondent and anti-sleaze MP Martin Bell was "a pathetic joke figure." One-time Health Secretary Virginia Bottomley objected to the use of the word "gay" instead of "homosexual." And former Tory leader Michael Howard was just "loathsome." She threw in other references to Teletubbies in Parliament, the risk of the ceiling falling on the heads of MPs and schoolboy behaviour in the House. It is hard to imagine such forthright correspondence going directly to the Queen. The daily reports have never before been published. Nor have those of any of Janet's predecessors and successors. She, unlike them, retained copies. They make hilarious reading and amount to a colourful daily diary of a turbulent period in British political history.

For thirteen-year-old Ellsworth, family has always been just him and his dad. That's all Ellsworth thought he wanted. But then the dreams start. Dreams of houses surrounding a beautiful green square. Suddenly a letter arrives, inviting Ellsworth to a home he doesn't remember: the Square in Smith Mills, New York. A home with a hidden treasure only a child can uncover—the last treasure of John Matthew Smith, the family's eccentric patriarch. But there are other things hidden in the Square. Can Ellsworth set these ghosts to rest and uncover the family's last treasure—or will the secrets of the past haunt him forever?
