"Women of Southie tells the story of six women who grew up in and, in most cases, still live in their beloved town of South Boston, a place sadly most often recognized as the home of organized crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger. While Whitey might have been ruling the town with an iron fist, what the town ought to have been recognized for are the far braver women who ruled their own lives and their families with greater strength and conviction as they faced the heartaches and tragedies of murder, death of loved ones, suicide, addiction, abuse, and PTSD. None of these women ever backed down from the most important fight--the fight for themselves and their families. Each one of the women emerges on these pages as a shining light of what love of family, courage, and an indomitable spirit can accomplish."--Page [4] of cover.

He was just a kid when he first broke the surly bonds of earth. Bitten by the freedom of flight bug on his fifth birthday, Ralph Parr had what seemed like a never-ending horizon in front of him. Thankfully, his parents instilled in him a strong moral compass and the willingness to work, thus framing a young man with an extraordinary goal-oriented personality, traits that would pay off like the lottery years later. Even save his life! Ralph learned many attributes during his adolescent years, but his learning curve was pulled into the vertical when he joined the United States Air Force after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Nobody knew then that he would distinguish himself during a 34-year career by flying combat missions during WWII, Korean War (where he was a Double Ace), and Vietnam War. When undaunted adversity and life-threatening events collide, On Parr divulges how this true American Patriot digs deep, rises to the top, and perseveres. You'll absorb the effects of his red stripe and many life lessons including his "short string" concept.

"What comes after 'hi'? This is the question that goes through the mind of kids with autism. Everyone experiences happiness, sorrow, anger, fear, loneliness -- including kids on the spectrum, but they often sound very different. They have issues with confidence and don't know what comes after 'hi,' which makes it very difficult for them to succeed in social situations. In the 1990s, autism wasn't widely talked about, and 'networking' didn't exist. Eric and I were literally on our own. I'd start every morning believing that today was the day Marston was going to look back into my eyes, reach for me, smile for the first time, and walk -- and he'd say 'Mama.' By the time he'd turned three, I'd uttered that prayer a thousand times. I was more determined than ever to shatter the glass that separated my son from the rest of the world. This memoir of our journey of educating Marston through programs like The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, Vision Therapy, Marion's Blank Approach to reading, hippotherapy, ballroom dancing, and the list goes on... until we discovered stem cell replacement therapy. Love, faith, and teamwork have taught Marston how to strike up a conversation beyond the word 'hi' and how to do so much more.. We cracked the glass, but we believe STEM CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPY will ultimately shatter it. Now it's our job to share our story with the world because one win for autism if a victory for us all." -- From back cov
