James Ten Eyck was raised in a quiet New Jersey republican suburb. However, the 1960s changed everything. He studied quantum mechanics and worked in computer sciences, while quietly writing. His first book, The Life and Times of Walter Reuther: An Unfinished Liberal Legacy, describes Reuther's European travels in the 1930's as Hitler and Communist leaders were rising to power. Upon his return to the U.S., Reuther became a major player in the growth of unions and the liberal turn in the democratic party. On a softer side, Ten Eyck wrote poetry which is available in his book, "Footprints."

Unfortunately, her time to fly was cut short after a 10 year addiction to opiods. The irony is that her sister was beautiful, smart, and a hard worker who loved to write and help other people. Kathryn herself is a nurse who found herself blind sided, along with rest of the medical profession, by the ferocity of the opioid crisis in America's hospitals. Mandy always wanted to be an author and got her wish as Kathryn wrote this book with her, using Mandy's journal notes. Kathryn is open to doing presentations to help get the word out about this problem and solutions that have been set in place in recent years. She can be contacted at [email protected].

He was baptised after participating in a crusade where he was given a Bible, a notebook and a pen. However, his eyes were not good. He could not read the Bible, but he could pray, "Open my eyes." They opened. No doctor. No glasses. Having experienced that healing, he began to study the Word of God and wrote numerous tracts which became his book, "Mystery of Suffering." He currently pastors a church in the United States.

They had good careers, a house full of animals, however, they had a very large hole in their hearts that they wanted children to fill. In her book, "For Want of a Child," Lily goes through their journey, their work in support groups, what it was like to meet their children for the very first time. She encouraged interaction with natural birth parents and, later, DNA testing to provide access to medical information. She is available to speak to groups about this important topic and can be reached at [email protected].
