Books with author John Griffith

This is a story about a puppy named Norman. He's a cute, lovable, silly dog. However, he can also be overly zealous, curious to a fault, and he's rarely alone in these endeavors. His brother, Oliver, seems to always become a willing participant. It's the night before Christmas, and both Norman and Oliver have devised a scheme to see Santa when he arrives. The plan is to get to the observation deck on the top of the roof--it's the best place to view everything on the estate, including the night sky. The two managed to make it up to the roof, only to have Norman slip and slide down, landing headfirst in a snowbank. When Norman's found, it's determined by the family vet that he's in a coma. Norman is given the best medical treatment money can buy, and while in a coma, he begins to dream. To him, this is more than just a simple dream; it's an adventure!

THE HISTORY-MAKING CLASSIC ABOUT CROSSING THE COLOR LINE IN AMERICA'S SEGREGATED SOUTH“One of the deepest, most penetrating documents yet set down on the racial question.”—Atlanta Journal & Constitution In the Deep South of the 1950’s, a color line was etched in blood across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Journalist John Howard Griffin decided to cross that line. Using medication that darkened his skin to deep brown, he exchanged his privileged life as a Southern white man for the disenfranchised world of an unemployed black man. What happened to John Howard Griffin—from the outside and within himself—as he made his way through the segregated Deep South is recorded in this searing work of nonfiction. His audacious, still chillingly relevant eyewitness history is a work about race and humanity every American must read. With an Epilogue by the author and an Afterword by Robert Bonazzi
