Emma Johnston (a pseudonym) is an African American resident of Durham, North Carolina, whose son was brutally murdered in 2007. Combining the voices of Emma and her coauthor Simon Partner, a professor at Duke University, the book recounts the postwar history of one of the South's fastest-growing communities through the eyes of one of its most disadvantaged residents. In the process, the book attempts to shed light on the social and economic conditions that led to the murder of Emma's son, one of 25 to 30 people (many of them African American young men) who fall victim to gun violence each year in Durham.
Every year, 2,200 families in Canada experience the loss of a child under the age of fifteen. Twenty-five years after the sudden death of his two-year-old daughter, Emma, Rick Johnston has written Imagine Emma: A Father’s Grief Journey as a life-affirming book to support other parents who have joined the “fraternity of the unthinkable.” Written in straightforward, easy-to-follow language, Johnston offers guidance, comfort, and hope to parents during a time when the grief of losing a child feels completely overwhelming. Key to Johnston’s learnings is that the heart and the mind often follow their own, separate timelines. Each person will experience this journey differently. Imagine Emma concludes with suggestions for how to honour your lost child in ways that will keep their memory alive and fill you with more deep love and joy than you might think possible.

Every building has a story to tell. All it needs is someone to tell it. In The Teller of Burnham Bank, that someone is Hal Ogdens, the editor of a nearly bankrupt weekly newspaper constantly at battle with the town’s contentious mayor – who happens also to be his ex-wife – over how best to preserve the historic fabric of downtown New Brooklyn, Alabama. But when Hal teams up with the mayor’s estranged daughter, Nell, to rescue a landmark building from the mayor and her urban renewal plans, more than the life of an old building will be at stake. EXCERPT FROM BOOK: “Hey, look at this one,” said James, holding up one of the photographs. “I wonder what’s up with her?” The photo he held was a picture of the Burnham Bank building from 1939, as evidenced by the tax assessment sign in the still documenting the year. No longer a bank but the location for a five-and-dime store, the building itself appeared to be in good repair, with an ornate, wooden door at the building’s corner and perhaps fifteen arched windows, each topped with a marble lintel. An elegant spire, a feature missing from the present structure, crowned the roof. But what instantly drew our attention was not the building – it was, rather, a woman who stood in the foreground. With arms drawn high to shield her face, one thing seemed apparent: she did not want to be photographed.
