It was so short, just as I was getting into it, it prematurely ended. As an age-play novel, it just barely touched on the topic. I wish it could have been longer and more descriptive. I kind of feel as though this story was a cock tease.

Dempsey Durwood, one of Sidra Smart’s first clients, approaches her to take the case of Boo Murphy who has been accused of murdering her second cousin Sasha’s husband Zeke. Boo swears she shot at him but did it just to scare him but she didn’t kill him. She does claim that she saw a pirate ship, the Hotspur, half-buried in the Texas swamp. Sidra Smart has been operating the detective agency, The Third Eye, left to her by her brother Warren. She has run into a few mishaps along the way including the fact that her office burned to the ground. Things are looking up now though. Sidra has just received her Private Investigator License as well as an insurance check to rebuild her office. Sidra has been working out of the home of her Aunt Annie but is more than ready to get back in her own office. She is anxious for some paying clients and not too excited about taking on a client with no money but many wild tales. In spite of the way, she feels about the case Sidra decides to do some investigation. She also spots the pirate ship or at least she thinks she does. Between Sidra’s visions, Boo’s tales and Annie insisting on getting into the act Dead Wreckoning is a very interesting book with lots of history thrown in the mix. Some people have the idea that Boo actually boarded the pirate ship and came away with treasure. Sidra has her hands full trying to clear Boo of the charges and protect her at the same time. George Leger, Sidra’s trusted mentor, is acting very strangely too and Sidra is worried George has gotten himself involved in some trouble. Sidra’s dog Slider gets into the act as well as Aunt Annie. Dead Wreckoning is well worth reading. This is the third book in the Sidra Smart series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Quotes: In 2001, for example, cash and in-kind transfers together accounted for 77.8 percent of the economic resources of people in the bottom 20 percent. The alarming statistics so often cited in the media and by politicians count only 22 percent of the actual economic resources at their disposal. Three-quarters of those Americans whose incomes were in the bottom 20 percent in 1975 were also in the top 40 percent at some point during the next 16 years. As of 2001 a household income of $84,000 was enough to put those who earned it in the top 20 percent of Americans. A couple making $42,000 each is hardly what most people would consider rich. Even to make the top 5 percent required a household income of just over $150,000 – that is, about $75,000 apiece for a working couple. Among individuals who are actively in the labor force, only 5 percent of those who were in the bottom 20 percent in income in 1975 were still there in 1991, compared to 29 percent of those in the bottom quintile in 1975 who had risen to the top quintile by 1991. North Africa’s Barbary Coast pirates alone captured and enslaved at least a million Europeans from 1500 to 1800, carrying more Europeans into bondage in North Africa than there were Africans brought in bondage to the United States and the American colonies from which it was formed. The percentage of black families with incomes below the poverty line fell most sharply between 1940 and 1960, going from 87 percent to 47 percent over that span, before either the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and well before the 1970s, when “affirmative action” evolved into numerical “goals” or “quotas.” While, in the late twentieth century, an absolute majority of those black families with no husband present lived in poverty, more than four-fifths of black husband-wife families did not. From 1994 on into the twenty-first century, the poverty rate among black husband-wife families was below 10 percent. Educational and intellectual performance is a readily documented area where the persistence of culture can be tested. As late as the First World War, white soldiers from various Southern states scored lower on mental tests than black soldiers from Northern states. As far back as 1980, college-educated black married couples earned slightly more than white college-educated married couples.

BOOK REVIEW THE LAW OF HABEAS CORPUS 3rd Edition By Judith Farbey QC and The Hon. Mr Justice R.J. Sharpe with Simon Atrill Oxford University Press ISBN: 978-0-19-924824-7 www.oup.com HABEAS CORPUS: THE EVOLUTION AND VULNERABILITY OF A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT An appreciation from Phillip Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers The cornerstone of our liberties, habeas corpus is actually an ancient writ, the origins of which are described in this excellent book aimed at those either new or experienced in these matters. As a legacy of the Middle Ages, habeas corpus became more firmly entrenched four centuries ago as a means of protecting the individual against unfair imprisonment, confinement or detention. Worryingly, it’s taken something of a battering fairly recently in the controversies surrounding the war on terrorism; for example, detention without trial and the imprisonment of detainees at Guantanamo. So this book is timely, dealing with these topical issues, but not before offering up a thorough and useful examination of -- as promised by the title -- the law of habeas corpus itself. First, there is an introduction to the history of habeas corpus, tracing its development primarily from its seventeenth century origins. It was in 16th and 17th centuries that the writ of habeas corpus took is modern form gaining its conspicuous place as a fundamental ingredient of the UK’s Constitution. The significance of habeas corpus in the modern context is that it empowers the court to secure the release of individuals from unlawful custody over a range of circumstance, from detention in prison to the custody of a child, to patients detained for compulsory medical treatment and, as in a number of current high profile cases, individuals wrongly held in detention as the result of the war on terrorism. So fundamental a liberty is habeas corpus that all too many take it for granted, which offers all the more reason why it should be jealously guarded by those charged with ensuring its preservation. Interestingly, this important book started life as the thesis for the D. Phil. at Oxford University by one of the three learned authors, The Hon. Mr Justice R.J. Sharpe, now of the Ontario Court of Appeal. With subsequent revisions and updates, the book has remained topical and is now published by OUP in this latest third edition. The authors have endeavoured to maintain the structure and organization of previous editions while examining all recent developments including, for example, judicial review, immigration cases and the implications of the Human Rights Act 1998, especially when conflicts of interest have emerged between liberty and security. We were amused to read a quote in “The Times” letters column some time ago from a Mr Benjamin Franklin who remarked in effect that those who would sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither freedom nor safety. Anyone who is concerned, especially in a professional capacity, with the issues raised by this 250 page book should read it. Meticulously footnoted throughout with extensive tables of cases, national legislation, secondary legislation, as well as treaties and conventions (on both sides of the Atlantic) plus a great index, it points the way to literally hundreds of avenues for further research on the evolution and vulnerability of this fundamental right.

I've always loved this book, and try to read it every Christmas season.
Some might say this is a little too religious and goody two shoes, but to a homeschooler like me, this is refreshingly in one of my many comfort zones. Anyway, who's to say that religious and goody two shoes isn't the more real and/or normal? Anyway, I reread this recently, and I found that I enjoyed it more than before; and I found the characters and their thoughts and struggles conforting.

My second-favorite Steinbeck (see East of Eden for first). I grew up here, in the Pastures of Heaven! Some versions show a picture of "Castle Rock," maybe 3 miles down the road from my parents' house.
