For Gwendolyn Wright, the houses of America are the diaries of the American people. They create a fascinating chronicle of the way we have lived, and a reflection of every political, economic, or social issue we have been concerned with. Why did plantation owners build uniform cabins for their slaves? Why were all the walls in nineteenth-century tenements painted white? Why did the parlor suddenly disappear from middle-class houses at the turn of the century? How did the federal highway system change the way millions of Americans raised their families? Building the Dream introduces the parade of people, policies, and ideologies that have shaped the course of our daily lives by shaping the rooms we have grown up in. In the row houses of colonial Philadelphia, the luxury apartments of New York City, the prefab houses of Levittown, and the public-housing towers of Chicago, Wright discovers revealing clues to our past and a new way of looking at such contemporary issues as integration, sustainable energy, the needs of the elderly, and how we define 'family.'

Building the American Dream depicts the journey of author, Gary Knapp, from his very beginnings on a rural dairy farm in southern Michigan through his teens, his tour of duty in the army, his broadcast training and then follows him as he begins his career in radio broadcasting and branches into television. Through his remarkable passion, ingenuity and enormous energy, he overcomes whatever hurdles he encounters and turns them into advantages which eventually enable him to build a network of television stations to serve the northern Michigan area. His journey is fueled by his inability to accept defeat, his persistence in finding a way to accomplish his goals by creating innovative financing when the traditional routes failed him, his trust in, and loyalty to reliable advisors and a family who supported him through thick and thin. The reader gets a first hand look at what goes on behind the scenes in radio and television production, sales and management. They accompany him as he moves from one phase of his interesting career to the next. Author Knapp, takes us back to the days of our childhood and the simple good life about which we all like to reminisce. We can smell his mom’s apple pie baking as the family gathers around the radio set listening to Fibber McGee and Molly. He stimulates our memories of past parades, local celebrations, community events which he covered as a newsman and broadcaster and recreates the home town atmosphere of typical small towns through out our country. This book, with its motivational and informative hints, could be considered a handbook on how to attain one’s goals and dreams, or by some, a guideline showing the steps necessary to succeed in business ventures and by others, just a ‘good read.’ Gary Knapp has brought to life, a story, rich in human interest, history of radio and television, entrepreneurship and events in the town of Cadillac, Michigan, where Gary took broadcasting to a higher level while building his American dream.

Building Your Field of Dreams is both a compelling personal story and a practical and inspiring guide for anyone who has ever hoped for a better life. Mary Morrissey's own dreams were nearly shattered at age 16, when pregnancy forced her into a reluctant marriage that nevertheless became the crucible for remarkable lessons in faith. As she was tested by the near-death of one of her children, by life-threatening kidney disease, and by years of struggling to make ends meet, she clung to her determination to be a minister. Now, with powerful examples from many dream-builders she has known, she shows how anyone can identify their deepest desires, build a partnership with God, confront obstacles and failure, and overcome the mental blocks that keep us from our potential. It's a great message, compellingly delivered by a great teacher. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Huguenot II: Building the Dream picks up right where The Huguenot: Flight From Terror ends. Readers fell in love with three French émigré forced to flee France because of their Protestant faith and settle in the British colonies of 17th century North America. Now in The Huguenot II: Building the Dream, the trio faces fresh challenges. Jacques wants strong but kind husbands for his daughters, men capable of protecting and keeping them from harm while not abusing them but he almost loses his own wife to a predator right under his nose; Marie has learned to stand up and defend herself, kill when necessary, and be assertive in a man's world, but nothing has prepared her to deal with nightmarish fears from the past or the silent menace of a sociopath's insane jealousy; Richard never expected to live a life frustrated by unrequited love. He will always stand by his best friend faithfully but can he control his fierce desires for his best friend's wife? Terrorism-frontier style, hurricanes, societal crazies, opioid addiction, alternative medicine, the challenges of business and parenting, teenage pregnancy, secrets and lies in the marriage bed, deadly Native American resistance to the colonial land-grab, the breakdown of communications, race riots... sounds like headlines from our own time but this is the dawn of the 18th century! Human nature does not change. Life is not easy in any century but LOVE can deal with everything... or can it? Each of a growing number of characters has his/her own dream to pursue, most will succeed in a land of amazing opportunity, some will fail as each must find his own path in building the dream.
