Footprints in the Sand


Book Description

It's the dead of winter and struggling actress and wedding-cake decorator Piper Donovan is thrilled to be in warm and romantic Sarasota, Florida, enjoying the powdery white beaches, soothing seas, and golden sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. She and her family are there to celebrate her beloved cousin's wedding. Not only is Piper creating the sugar-sand-dollar-festooned wedding cake, she's also the maid of honor. But a cloud seems to be hovering over the whole affair. Shortly after a bridesmaid mysteriously disappears, a kindly neighbor's car is run off the road and a prospective witness, an innocent Amish teenager, is threatened to keep silent. Then a body is found on the beach where the wedding will take place. With the nuptials threatened, it falls to Piper to unmask a killer. Could it be the wedding planner with something to hide? A doctor and his wife who collect unusual Japanese figurines? The best man, an ex–drug dealer with lecherous eyes and roving hands? What about her cousin's future stepfather—or even the bridegroom himself? As Piper gets close to figuring out who's been covering his guilty footprints in the sand, the cunning killer has already set his sights on Piper as his next victim!

No Footprints in the Sand


Book Description

When Henry Nalaielua was diagnosed with Hansen's disease in 1936 and taken from his home and family, he began a journey of exile that led him to Kalaupapa—the remote settlement with the tragic history on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. During its century as a virtual prison, more than 8,000 people were exiled to Kalaupapa, until the introduction of sulfone drugs in the 1940s. Today fewer than 30 patients remain.This is Henry's story—an unforgettable memoir of the boy who grew to build a full and joyous life at Kalaupapa, and still calls it home today. No Footprints in the Sand is one of only a few memoirs ever shared with the public by a Kalaupapa patient. Its intimacy and candor make it, in the words of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin, “a rare and precious human document.” Nalaielua's story is an inspiring one; despite exile, physical challenges and the severing of family ties, he has faced life—as an artist, musician and historian—with courage, honesty, hope and humor.

Footsteps My Journey


Book Description

When Kathy Bee left her small town, Bloomingburg, Ohio, (a town of 500 people), she never realized that she would become a part of the legacy of one of her favorite poems, Footprints In The Sand. In 1979, after a performance at the country music nightclub the Palomino in North Hollywood, CA, Bee met Mary Stevenson Zangare. An invitation to a home cooked meal was offered by Mary...and eagerly accepted by Bee. During this dinner party, after Bee complimented Mary on her poems (which were hanging in frames and on plaques on her living room walls), Mary rewarded Bee with a large box full of Mary's hand-written and typed poems.One old poem stood out amongst the rest. It was a 1939 copy of Footprints In The Sand. On the back side of the poem was another poem that was signed Stevey. When Bee inquired about the Footprints poem, Mary stated that she was the author. Bee proceeded to find a credit card size copy of her own Footprints poem (which was signed Author Unknown) and began to question Mary...Sadly Marry shared the circumstances surrounding the poem and how it became anonymous. Believing Mary's story, Bee promised that she would help Mary to become “Author Known”.35 years later, Bee's story Footsteps Her Journey, will be shared in a new documentary, Footprints Miracles Secrets & Lies. With a little help from her friends, Bee hopes that her Indiegogo Crowd Funding Campaign will draw financial backers and more stories about Footprints and the impact the poem has left on other's lives.
