I love the dixie chicks and i wish them the best of luck on everything that they do in the future.

Some of the best scholars of theology and sociology blend forces to provide a new focus on Afro-American religious experience, presenting specific cases in black history and theology to reveal underlying roots of black suffering. It's difficult to easily categorize Courage to Hope: it offers appeal not just to students of religion, but to those examining black history.

It is the year 2001, but it is not the same country most Americans would call the 'Good Old USA.' The North lost the Civil War in 1865 and vanished from existence to become the Greater Confederate States of America. New York Times reporter, Thomas Mann, becomes involved in a twisted web of murder, oppression and government cover-ups. Mann is engaged to help a group of freedom fighters find out the deadliest secrets of the Confederate government. Thomas Mann's nightmare only begins when he too is targeted for death by a government that mixes the sinister evils of the past with the technology of today. A must read for all alternate history enthusiast.

This book was about Dixie and her friend Manny Romanos. The Romanos family are gypsies and are looked down on by the whole town. Manny has a horse named Champ which he is training to sell. Dixie learns to ride barrels on this horse and later rides in rodeos. I really liked this book and I would recommend this book to anyone.

This was one of the best books about the dixie chicks I have seen so far. The pictures were very clear and colorful and the information about them was not the same boring facts found in most of the other biograpy's and t.v. specials that they have done. I srongly reccomend buying it if you are a big dixie chicks fan like I and would like to learn a little bit more about them!

This is a great book with a lot of history about all of the girls. It starts with the first Dallas street corner that the four girls, Laura Lynch, Robin Macy, Martie, and Emily played on to earn tips. I learned many things that I did not know about the girls. It is very detailed about how their success hasn't just come overnight. It took them almost a decade to get where they are now. Be sure to buy the book! Besides all of the great information, it has many pictures, old and new. Enjoy!!!

I happened upon this book accidentally, and it immediately became one of my top five favorite books. Ms. Hill has an extraordinary gift of language. In this collection of short stories, she uses a variety of topics and settings, but she makes you feel as though that person were writing it and not a mother of twelve who lives in Iowa (per her bio)!! My favorites are the stories set in Louisiana-they have a depth and sadness and humor that is as palpable as water in Louisiana air. I do not feel that I can do Ms. Hill justice in this review, but the language, as I mentioned is phenomenal...Ms. Hill has an incredible talent for the short story. This is a book that I read over and over again.

Compiled and edited by southern journalist Thomas W. Howard, The Dixie Dictionary: An Introduction To The Southern Language is a fun, enjoyable, and useful glossary of terms unique to American Southern English dialects. From "all vine and no 'taters" (a phrase to describe someone who is all talk and no action) to "whistle-pig" (groundhog), The Dixie Dictionary is packed from cover to cover with wry, flavorful phrases that most northerners have likely never heard of. Highly recommended for writers looking to pen southern-style dialogue, as well as anyone planning to visit or move to the South, or who just wants to have a good time paging through some truly unique and eyebrow-raising expressions, The Dixie Dictionary is a welcome contribution to personal and academic Language Studies reference collections.

I really enjoy reading about the hardships endured when living in a strange land, so of course i loved this book. I thought Mrs. Hurmence plotted it well and she really described the events well. I enjoyed reading it and I well read it again.

Dickerson, who is something of an expert on the area, looks at the Delta's dark underside in this highly readable and admirably researched investigative report.
He labors to weave together rednecks, the Mafia, wealthy Memphis businessmen, politicians, and cops into a coherent web of conspiracy against Civil Rights and war protest, but his results tend to be suggestive rather than conclusive.
He does seem to have read everything ever written on the region, and in the face of such impressive effort it seems almost ungrateful to point out that the Little Rock Central High School crisis took place in 1957, not 1954, and the Vietnam War did not end with the American withdrawal in 1973, but such lapses will serve as useful reminders that sweeping exposes must be received with a degree of caution.
