"A book about the gentlemen of the Jolly Boys of the Front Porch and the history of this eclectic group."--Title page.
Have you ever observed the conventional antics or overheard the colorful conversation of a group of older and distinguished gentlemen at a sporting event, in a restaurant, or at a backyard barbecue and wondered about their relationship? How did they meet? How long have they been friends? What was the pivotal moment or event that transformed their connection from acquaintance to kinship? The(m) Jolly Boys is the awe-inspiring, insightful, and entertaining story about the mysterious, unique, and undercelebrated friendship between four men through the many iterations of our society. In this his first fiction novel, author Larry LaDell Robertson illustrates this dynamic through the personal experiences and challenges of a teacher, a garbage man, a train engineer, and a preacher all striving for sustained happiness for themselves and one another. Readers will embrace this captivating, funny, and real-talk page-turner, locking arms with Beauregard Jackson, Divine Oliver, Samaritan Ladeaux, and Arie Eubanks as they navigate through love, lust, fear, anger, heartbreak, and even fortune. With key historical markers juxtaposed with vivid and compelling messages, The(m) Jolly Boys delivers a touching prose about the curious and rarely-talked-about camaraderie and comradeship between men. The(m) Jolly Boys is a truly funny, intriguing, unique, heartwarming, unpredictable, inspiring love story. As you read this delightful story, you will immediately conjure up images of that brother, uncle, father, cousin, neighbor, or coworker who could easily be one of the four. That’s the power of this rarely told story.
They Said I Wouldn't Make It. This is a book that needs to be read by all. It is full of everyday life situation. A book about one man's dreams and strggles to get custody of his ten siblings and reunite his family together again. This book is a pure inspiration to millions. I was always challenged by people that said that they were normal, telling me that I wouldn't make it in life because of how I was born. Not only is this book written from my heart, but it is also written through my pain and tears, triumphs and victories. It is my desire that kids that are born handicap would have the understanding that no on can make you handicap, if you chose not to be that handicap is a state of one's mind. It is my desire that the department of Social Services will remove the name 'foster' from kids. There is no such thing as a false child, all kids are real. For those that are single parents, I hope that you receive new strength. You can make it, don't give up. For the parents that have kids that were born handicap, if you want them normal, don't raise them handicap. For you that have lost your family through the system, don't give up, miracles still happen. For those of you that had been through sexual, physical, psychological, or any other abuse you can be healed. Many people's childhoods destroyed their adulthoods. For you this does not have to be so. Remember a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. Last, those who say they can and those wh say they can not, are both correct.
This is the story of five young elementary school boys who are drawn into a basketball tournament by their school principal with no hope of winning. When a star player from a local high school team volunteers to coach the boys, miracles happen and the boys win the contest against all odds. An everlasting bond of fraternity is then formed and named The Jolly Boyz. This pledge of togetherness takes the young men through the youthful years of development, through high school, then college, reunions, marriages and culminating in a celebration cruise to the Caribbean. On an afternoon of great promise, the five members of the Jolly Boyz together with their wives and girlfriends, set sail from Tampa Bay. Right away however, they encounter an abandoned boat adrift in the Gulf of Mexico and things begin to get complex. Personality traits within the group, emerge together with memories of by gone days, testing the alliance. As the group gathers the resolve to overcome their differences, their bond grows stronger, developing into a pledge of re-commitment by each member of the Jolly Boyz to honor their vows of fidelity to their fraternity brothers, their wives and to life itself.
John Lock has fled the quiet desperation of his life in England--decades wasted in a meaningless job, a marriage foundering in the wake of loss, and a terrible secret he cannot bear to share with his wife--and has come to India to meet his destiny. A destiny dressed in a white karate suit and sporting an impressive moustache. John has come to offer his help to a man who has learned to conquer pain, a world record-breaker who specializes in feats of extreme endurance and ill-advised masochism. Bibhuti Nayak has survived forty-three kicks to the unprotected groin in ninety seconds, three forty-pound slabs of concrete smashed over his groin with a sledgehammer, and thirty-one watermelons dropped on his stomach in one minute from a height of more than thirty feet. His next record attempt--to have fifty baseball bats broken over his body--will be the crowning moment in a career that has seen him rise from poverty to become a minor celebrity in a nation where standing out from the crowd requires tenacity, courage, and perhaps a touch of madness. John is welcomed into Bibhuti's family and into the color and chaos of Mumbai, where he encounters Ping-Pong-playing monks, a fearless seven-year-old martial arts warrior, and an old man who longs for the monsoon to wash him away. As he and Bibhuti take their leap of faith together, John sets out to rewrite a brave end to a life poorly lived.
