An Oklahoma Soldier
An Oklahoma Soldier An Oklahoma Soldier is a family memoir brought to life by a bit of fiction and the use of a father's voice to recount his tales. From the Oklahoma land runs through the Battle of the Bulge to an everyday life in Kansas City, Mrs. Nielsen's father's remembrances capture classic 1890 to 1960 moments. Mrs. Nielsen's father, Bert Brooks Jr., wrote a letter to her, stating, "To me, genealogy should be more than a record of births, marriages, and deaths. I've always believed that if I am not in your heart, I never existed. If I am in your heart, you will find me there now and forever." Shortly after his death March 29, 2001, his daughter decided to edit and retouch his stories, most of which he had not shared before. Mrs. Nielsen hopes she has done justice to her father's renditions and to his hope of making past generations seem more than dates. Family pictures of many of the people in the stories visually enhance the father's memories. Genealogical charts gathered from old papers and notes are at the end of An Oklahoma Soldier, tracing family roots to hand them on to those who care.
A Child with a Broken Heart
In 1983, Aces small, five-year-old world consisted mostly of Michael Jackson songs coming in full of static on a small kitchen radio as his mother cooked. He assumed that the frequent beatings meted out to him and his mother by his fathera man who was all vodka and venomwere all part of a normal, picture-perfect family. Labeled a sissy by his father, Ace was a prime target for the frequent tirades. Trapped: A Child with a Broken Heart shares gut-wrenching stories of Aces family, which included his domineering and drunk father; his mother, who was too afraid to leave; and a little sister who somehow escaped the torment. Left to do battle with real-life monsters, Ace made his way through school stumbling two steps behind as he navigated a never-ending barrage of bullies, questions, and sexual uncertainty. Still, he dreamed about getting ahead. Far from a traditional hero, he attempted to save himself. In this personal narrative, one man recalls his powerful journey from boy to not-quite man. It is a story about hope and about how the choices one makes can help make life better.
