Books with author M.C Jackson

War memories do not have an age requirement. They force you to mature and give you no choice but to cope with the realities of the world. In this memoir, author Sigrid Jackson tells what it was like being a child of war in East Germany before and after World War II. In East German Girl, Jackson describes what it was like to live through the bombing raids, food shortages, diphtheria, communism, and being forced to leave her home with her mother and brother to be relocated to a rural farm. Using personal anecdotes to illustrate how God has worked in her life, Jackson demonstrates the courage that was necessary to escape East Germany to freedom in the west when she was just twelve years old. From an alcoholic, absentee father to an unsuspecting future husband, life continuously threw her curveballs, but East German Girl narrates an inspirational story of war, communism, family betrayal, and finally resilience.

- Texas Bluebonnet Master List- Junior Library Guild Selection Your face is a one-of-a-kind tool you use to communicate with the world. It's the first thing people see when they meet you, and it's what they use to recognize you later. On the outside, your face is what makes you, you. How much do you know about this important body part? Do you know why your features are arranged the way they are? Or how the idea of beauty differs from culture to culture?Here Donna M. Jackson, author of the acclaimed nonfiction picture book The Bone Detectives, answers these questions and presents funny, strange, and sometimes unbelievable facts about the face. Using the straightforward, journalistic style she's known for, Jackson explains the basics of our eyes, ears, mouths, and noses. Then she dives into topics ranging from unusual facial disorders to how a prosthetic eye is made. With 30 full-color photographs, a glossary, index, and detailed source notes, In Your Face is an intriguing and fresh tour of the face that will fascinate readers.

Around Thanksgiving, in 2013, after uploading works to Kindle for roughly a year, my mother suggested I write about the Christmas, back in the early 1960's, when people driving by our house honked their approval at the tree we had on display in the living room picture window. We always wondered how they would have reacted if they had known that the tree was so scrawny, especially at the base, that our tree stand would not hold it in place. My mother had to tie the tree in place by attaching it to the picture window curtain rod with twine. Then, she covered the twine with a ribbon.She added her belief that there would be further poignancy to the story if I told the story from the viewpoint of the tree itself.I was intrigued with the concept and, as I was a child at the time, I had to partly rely on her memories to reconstruct the event. Given we had started at Thanksgiving, there wasn't enough time to finish the story by that Christmas. For that reason, we decided to complete our Christmas fable in 2014.Unfortunately, my mother suffered health reversals and she passed away on September 2, 2014.Using her recollections as a framework, I have now written the story of our tree, titled: THE TREE LEFT BEHIND, and have made it available for 2015.That year of our tree was a lean period for us. I imagine our lack of financial resources bounded us stronger than if we had been more affluent. I only know we enjoyed a loving household together and I hope you see my mother, Kathleen Keating Jackson, as the warm, thoughtful, resourceful woman she was.I dedicate this story to her memory.Sincerely,G.M. Jackson III
