This book reflects some of the fond memories the author had of the area as it was in 1949, and describes some of the rapid changes that took place thereafter. The undeveloped area that extended from his house to the beach reminded him of the jungle in a Tarzan movie he once saw, and his imagination carried him on many journeys of adventure through those jungles, where he was master of his own happiness for that brief time in his life.

In the book Little Bobby OMalley, the reader learned of how Bobby saved the life of a young Seminole Indian boy named Tenatke-Yaha (Thunder Wolf ), and how that boy, whom Bobby would later call Thunder, became his best friend. Bobby saved Thunder from a panther, so the people of his village gave Bobby the name of Hakla-Kowechobe, which means (The Boy Who) Talks to the Panther. A year after meeting Bobby, Thunders tribe decided to move deep into the Everglades to escape the rapidly growing world of the white man. This book begins with Bobbys search for new adventures, and introduces a girl who becomes his new best friend. When his new friend comes into danger, Bobby and his dog, Bandit, must risk their lives in a trek to seek help from the spirit of the conch shell.

Lifetime Members focuses on the investigation by Attorney Walter Chauncey Coleman into the violent death of a black migrant worker in Anthracite County, Pennsylvania, and on the various men and women drawn into the orbit of that investigation. In the course of his often reluctant search for the truth in the maze of lies and coverup --- a search that concludes with a second violent fatality--- Coleman learns not only that we are all members, more or less for life, of families, of neighborhoods, of nationalities and religions and social tiers, but also that all memberships come with dues.

The enthralling third novel in the chronicle of the O'Malleys in the twentieth century. The fourth of the O'Malley chronicles is narrated by the ravishing Rosemarie, dedicated wife of our intrepid and trouble-prone hero, Chucky Cronin O'Malley. Destined to be compared to the Lanny Budd novels of Upton Sinclair and the Chicago novels of James T. Farrell, September Song follows the crazy O'Malley saga from Chucky's appointment as Ambassador to Germany by President Kennedy (the youngest Ambassador in history), to his resignation over his violent disagreement with President Johnson, to his in-your-face involvement in Selma, Alabama, the Chicago Democratic Convention, and the Vietnam War. Chucky can't stay out of trouble, and his loving and devoted wife Rosemarie is often, if not always, by his side. Raising a family and showing up at the hot trouble spots of the world seems to be Chucky's destiny. Greeley recalls the turbulent and history changing events of the 1960s with fondness and clarity. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
