Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It is Christmas time and nothing makes any sense. Obidiah Water, a penniless, and more importantly dead, person is evicted from Jacksonville, Florida's most notorious housing project, B. D. James Project-a housing complex so bleak, worn, and desolate that many remark, "If hell had a cousin, it would certainly be B. D. James." Moreover, Sara Jackson, a four-time public housing tenant of the year, and her nine-month pregnant daughter, LaRhonda Saunders potentially face the same fate for failing to timely pay rent for two months, and having Sheriff's deputies seize illegal contraband from her adult son's (Moses Davis) bedroom. And to top it off, the City's Housing Director, Baron Winston learns that LaRhonda has been harboring an impermissible pet, a sickly pooch, named Lonely Dog. But instead of pressing forward with his usual cold, methodical, and impassionate manner, as he had in almost two thousand previous cases, City eviction attorney, M. B. Hawkins questions the wisdom of trying to secure Sara Jackson's immediate eviction so close to Christmas. Despite such skepticism, and the ensuing negative media reaction, Mayor Russell Davidson, expecting a tough re-election campaign, and intent of destroying the influence of his longtime nemesis, Uncle Almondine Smith (an outspoken community activist and neighbor of Sara's) demands that Hawkins follow the Mayor's newly-implemented zero-tolerance policy, and evict the soon-to-be unemployed, and out of luck, Sara. Against such formidable odds, Sara gains spiritual strength from her parish priest, Father Patrick Hanrahan, while relying on the legal expertise of Blackjack Scott-an attorney more lucky than skillful. Adding to the mix, a local television station transforms an otherwise forgettable eviction into a classic David Goliath struggle with Scrooge-like implications. However, the journey to the immediate eviction hearing is complicated by: 1) Moses' friend, the crude, crass criminal Billy C. Creedmore, who seeks to betray not only Moses, LaRhonda, and Sara, but also, Uncle Almondine; 2) Hawkins' friend and former co-worker Phil Chase, who attempts to protect Hawkins from unexpected danger; and 3) Hawkins' love interest, Susan Treadwell, who along with the Mayor's Administrative Assistant Roger Carpenter, share secrets and lies that when exposed, jeopardize not only Hawkins' position and life, but also, hold the key to the death of Hawkins' former colleague, Ernie Sizemore, some three years earlier. Ultimately, Sara and family have their day in court. The trial encompasses a series of twists and turns-a match-up of two attorneys who possess nearly perfect trial records. But one streak must come to an end, and one attorney must lose. While the trial's outcome is surprising, the aftermath is shocking. Some live, some die, and nothing stays the same. With touches from A Christmas Carol, and Bonfire of the Vanities, Without Shelter is an instant classic that explores homelessness, holidays, love, betrayal, pregnancy, death, the law, sin, and redemption. Without Shelter is indeed A Christmas Story of Sorts that comforts, as well as, disturbs. Ultimately though, Without Shelter is a timeless story that cannot be dismissed. Without Shelter-A Christmas Story of Sorts is the third in a trilogy of Christmas-themed novels by Michael Delphy Hunt. The other novels are A Different Christmas and Digging Up Daddy. No one should be Without Shelter for the holidays--especially you. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Set in the South in 1961. A Different Christmas follows the Christmas Eve adventures/exploits of two children (Matthew Rivers age 6, and Steven Brown age 8) as they anxiously await Christmas Day, which both expect will be their best Christmas ever. For Matthew, he expects his perfect Christmas will commence when he is re-united with his father, whom he has not seen in three years. For Steven he expects Santa will reward him with the ultimate toy of 1961, an Official Triple Secret Agent Spike Murdock Spy case, especially since he has been very good for the last year, and he even delivered gifts on Christmas Eve to the sick, disabled, and elderly, with his best friend, Carrie Jenkins. When the bus carrying Matthew and his mother from Charleston to Baltimore crashes outside of Steven's hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, it sets in motion events that ultimately culminate in the boys meeting one another on Christmas Day as their holiday expectations are dramatically altered. Moreover, immediately after the bus wreck, while waiting for medical assistance, Matthew, his mother Delia, and the other passengers confront segregation, racial intolerance and forgiveness, and a Christmas that is different from what everyone imagined. Reaching a holiday crescendo on Christmas Day, at Steven's church, Reverend Ezekiel Moody preaches a sermon that implores the congregants to seize the moment and opportunity to do good works for the benefit of others. Inspired by the sermon, various church members seek to fulfill the minister's message, including Steven's mother who proposes Steven boost Matthew's spirits in a totally unexpected way. Aided by his mother, and Carrie, Matthew discovers a deeper meaning for Christmas. As the novel concludes, the aftermath of the bus wreck highlights friendships forged during the tragedy, and raises the hope of racial harmony in the future. For Matthew, and Steven, it had indeed been A Different Christmas, but a good, memorable Christmas nonetheless. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Guns For Christmas: Blistering Novel Creates New "Anthem" for Both Sides of Second Amendment Debate. Finally, a New Dialogue Opens. Michael Delphy Hunt's 'Guns for Christmas' brings both sides of the Second Amendment debate together - to open a mature and measured dialogue on protecting and preserving Second Amendment rights, while fighting for all to use their guns responsibly. Wrapped up in a fictional story, Hunt's latest release breaks new ground at a time when civil discord has never been fiercer, and as the nation prepares to vote for its next Commander-in-Chief. For Immediate Release "Even Santa feels safer when he's packing a Grunwald 20-47," so begins Guns For Christmas, a timely, and thought-provoking novel that examines Second Amendment rights and limitations in a gritty, no-holds barred manner. Further, Guns For Christmas tackles youth gun violence, and its tragic aftermath. Sixteen days before Christmas, Thomas Watson purchases a gun for his son, Alex, a second year law student. Alex questions the constitutional parameters of The Second Amendment, and the wisdom of gun ownership and use. Miles away, Lonesome Graves, a vengeful soul, kills a gifted youth in a senseless act of gun violence. Appalled, Marcellus Howard, pastor of an inner-city church, organizes GRIP (Gun Reclamation Initiative Program), designed to reclaim guns, and reduce gun violence. After pastor Howard debates GRIP's merits on a syndicated radio show, he attracts the interest of Buddy Tate, an outspoken Second Amendment advocate who believes GRIP must be stopped at all costs. His friend, Newton, disagrees. As Christmas draws near, and GRIP gathers momentum, Mercy Johnson, an old acquaintance visits pastor Howard, and threatens to reveal a shocking secret from their collective past. Suspicious of the reason behind Mercy Johnson and pastor Howard's reunion, investigative reporter Stella Rojas searches for the truth, and is disturbed by what she discovers. Despite media scrutiny, pastor Howard engages Police Special Agent Ashley Cross to protect others threatened by Lonesome Graves. Nevertheless, due to the efforts of pastor Howard and others, five days pass with minimal gun violence, and no youth deaths by gun. Yet, at sometime, even peace in town must end. When each major character awakens on Christmas Eve he/she believes the next twenty-four hours will be memorable. The climax of Guns For Christmas validates their beliefs, as their lives intersect in ways both imagined, and never conceived. Ultimately, some will celebrate Christmas; others will not. Guns For Christmas is both a cautionary tale of the destructive and far-reaching consequences of gun violence and decade-old secrets, and a prophetic story of hope through confession, redemption, and love. The prose from Guns For Christmas, The Framers Knew (for Second Amendment advocates), and Love Outweighs Bullets (for those concerned about gun violence) will be embraced as new national anthems for those points of view. Guns For Christmas will endure as the novel that opened a civil dialogue on protecting and preserving Second Amendment rights, while highlighting that When Guns are Operated Responsibly, We All Live Better and Safer.
