ABOUT THE AUTHOR...

 ABOUT THE BOOK...

Kiesha Jackson's peaceful life is about to change! 

Her mother receives military orders to Afghanistan. Keisha goes to live with her grandparents in Magnolia, Florida. The new high school principal is far more concerned with protecting her career than protecting innocent students. When Kiesha unintentionally breaks the school's zero-tolerance policy, she enters the school-to-prison pipeline. 

Will Keisha muddle in the injustice of it all? Or will she become a conduit for change?

                                                         EXCERPTS...

A row of sparsely planted shrubs extended along the front of the house. She watched a large lizard leap from one of the front windows onto the decorative plant before knocking on the front door. After a moment, the door swung open to reveal a petite blond-haired, blue-eyed woman holding an adorable blond-haired, blue-eyed toddler boy. The child removed the sippy cup from his lips and tendered a delightful gum-filled smile. Chaos lay on the other side of the threshold—scattered toys and clothes, and a child dancing with Barney the Dinosaur blaring from the television. The clamor of screaming children reverberated out from other places in the house.

The woman wrinkled her nose before speaking. “Hello? May I help you?”

“Mrs. Vickers?”

“Yes?” The woman curled her lips.

Shirley squared her shoulders and sized her up. “My name is Shirley Jackson. I understand you had a problem with my daughter this afternoon.”

“Excuse me?” asked the woman with a confused look on her face.

The toddler threw his sippy cup on the floor.

“My daughter, Keisha, was the teenage girl you chased in your van this afternoon.”

Mrs. Vickers jaws dropped, and her face drained of color. “I …I don’t know what… she was throwing rocks.”

“No, she wasn’t.” Shirley stared her down. “You also felt the need to shout a few racial epithets out of your van window.”

Mrs. Vicker's eyes grew large and bulgy. “I’m not prejudiced or anything. I have black friends.” Vickers crinkled up her nose and mustered up a fake smile.

Shirley raised her hand and cut her off as she opened her mouth to speak. “Congratulations. I’m not here to argue with you. I’m here to warn you. Stay away from my daughter. Don’t say another word to her. If you see her walking down the street, don’t even speak to her. Not one word. Nothing!”

MY BOOK REVIEW...  

Title:  For Such a Time as This

Author:  W. Mason Dunn

Publisher:  W.M.D.   

Reviewed By:  Arlena Dean

Rating:  Five

Review:

"For Such a Time as This" by W. Mason Dunn

My Opinion:  

'For Such a Time as This' was indeed a good story of what happened to Keisha after her mother, Shirley Jackson, took her to live with her parents[Ernest & MildredWyatt]...after she had 'received marine military order to Afghanistan.'  What will happens after 'Keisha unintentionally breaks the school's zero-tolerance policy and ends up in the school-to-prison pipeline?'  The author did a wonderful job that showed what can happen through the 'injustice of it all' if there is no change. With the help of Keisha, her grandparents, the lawyer, and some friends, Christopher, Darren, Maddie.. with petitions being presented, will there be a break in this chain in this school system? Be ready for a good read to find out all the answers to these questions and more.  I like the discussion questions that were included at the end of the read.

                                                Guest Post: Turning tragedy into triumph  

  Hello, I’m James Ruvalcaba the Author of The Light Through the Pouring Rain and I’m here today to speak on turning tragedy into triumph. To give a bit of background to my book I detail the trials and tribulations of enduring a cancer diagnosis. I go into detail about how my Fiance Anabel and I  dealt with it and keep our eyes to the sky and used our faith in God to make it to the end. Unfortunately, my fiancee, Anabel didn’t make it and she passed away, so now I tell our story on my own with hopes to carry on her legacy and be a testimony of God’s goodness. So today I bring to you how I turned tragedy into triumph. 

  In our lives, we go through unfair and unjust situations that are beyond our control. We can’t seem to understand why this would happen to us often leaving us with more questions than answers. I’m here to tell you that there are no right or wrong ways to handle your tragedies and their no timeline to heal and recover from your pains. There really isn’t a blueprint to how to conduct yourself after such an experience and no matter what you’ve gone through you would be justified to conduct yourself in a type of way. You justify having difficulties keeping your eyes to the sky, and you justified to want to stay at home and hide from the world. But I’m here to tell you that every day you make the conscious decision to put ten toes down on the ground and put one foot in front of another you tell your difficulties and pain that you’re not going to defeat me today! Seems simple right? but it really isn’t and most decide to stay in and let the pain and trauma defeat the person day on in. But when you get up and put one foot in front of another you are turning tragedy into triumph. You are declaring that on this day you will not let the pain you experience get you down on this day.  

It took me a long two years to overcome that battle with the loss of my fiance Anabel and I could still justify myself being in pain and display the scars that were left on me, but I had to put my foot down and say “enough is enough.” I had to remember why would I stay depressed when all she did was bring me happiness. I couldn’t let her death go by the wayside, so I decided to turn our tragedy into triumph and tell our story with the hopes to be able to touch and inspire others in their own personal journeys cancer or not. Now today our story is told via the book I wrote the Light Through the Pouring Rain!. Put one foot in front of the other and turn your tragedies into triumph one day at a time.

5 Ways to Find Inspiration 

According to merriam-webster.com, the word inspires is to influence or impel. And on a more theological level, inspire is to move or guide by divine or supernatural inspiration. 

There are times that we all need inspiration. Hardwired within our nature is the desire and need to be advanced by factors outside of ourselves. Some have argued that inspiration can never be willed that it only happens to us and through us. Whether that’s true or not is an argument for another blog. I’d like to suggest, however, that there are things you and I can do to openly welcome that divine and supernatural motivator into our lives. 

Although there are infinitely more, here are 5 ways that you can light some fire under your feet. 

1. Monitor your GIGO meter. Garbage In Garbage Out. Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you what you are. This saying (although equally important food-wise) refers to the “information” you and I consume. We are what we eat. Quite often and sometimes without being conscious of the fact - we let negative, pessimistic, de-motivating thoughts creep into our lives through our eyes and ears. 

One way to monitor your GIGO meter is by performing an audit. Intentionally go through your music playlists, social media feeds, tv shows, friends, family, etc., and pay attention to how you feel after each encounter. Are you down or up? Frustrated or motivated?  Are those things now weighing on you? If they are, then cut the fat, prune the tree, get rid of that which is keeping you low. Be intent, resolute, and hard-nosed about consistently listening to, following, and absorbing only that which will propel you upwards. 

2. Raise the rim higher. In my yard, there is an adjustable basketball hoop. There are times when I want to feel like Giannis, and so I lower that thing down to about 9 (probably 8) feet and tell someone to start recording. Yet herein lies the challenge - there is no challenge. The goal is too low. It’s too easily achievable, and after a while, it loses its fun. To ignite inspiration, you must raise your goals to a level that makes your heart flutter when you think about achieving them. 

3. Getaway. Nature for me is always one of my biggest sources of inspiration, more specifically the beach. Doesn’t cost a thing to step outside and find inspiration where you are. 

4. Inspire others. Offer a word of encouragement for someone who is down in the dumps. Find a person worse off than you and be a blessing to them, surprise them. Speak a kind word to a stranger. Pay for someone's meal unexpectedly. Give a bigger tip than expected. Pay it forward. They say the best way to keep your cup from God full is to try and keep it empty. And finally... 

5. Count your blessings - literally. If you are feeling down and out. Take out a sheet of paper (or your phone’s notepad), number it - and write one by one what you are thankful for. Not sure what to write first? I’ll help you…. 

#1. You woke up today 

There are going to be days when you won’t feel very inspired, and that’s okay. Make this a pit stop and not a parking spot. Your greatness is calling, and every great achievement started with that tiny spark and impeller called inspiration. Search for it, welcome it in, and soar!
