This book is a happy response to the National News (Nightline's Ted Koppel, Oprah, etc.) incident at Jasper, TX a few years ago when a man was chained to, and dragged behind a truck. Featured are The Bowie-Bluitt Family of Jasper, TX, friends and neighbors of The Huff Creek subdivision.I am fortunate to have been exposed to this hard working family, standing as leaders in the community.Charged with a desire to share the stories of their community and the love of their collective hearts with the world, they are on a mission to reverse the adverse effects of the unforgettable James Byrd incident.Pulling together, they have started to bring the vibrant life back into this once self sustaining proud community. It is hoped that these seeds of exposure will yield a harvest of beneficial and changed perceptions.I thank the people featured in this book; allowing me to photograph and document their lives so that you see a glimpse of what they stand for. Exemplifying the best that community life has to offer, they use their time and love to help others.Thanks especially for your time, resources and information provided to put this book together. Being a recipient of your love and kindness, and watching you in action as you impart it on others has been an extraordinary delight. It is this creative energy that has enabled, and will continue to enable The Huff Creek community of Jasper, TX to be an institution to be reckoned with.Of course, none of this is possible without you, the reader. I hope that this book and the profiles it contains are inspirational to you in helping you find your way through life with a more positive outlook.To contact the author, go to the contact page at: http: //www.adharris.net May God bless you and keep you.
