SECOND LIFE (SUCCESS AND FAILURE ARE BUT TWO SIDES OF THE SAME PAGE)
BY HERMAN FRANCK, ESQ.
Second Life is the story of a burned out alcoholic doctor whose life is transferred into a totally successful doctor. Presto, from early mornings in his wife’s Tahitian
themed bar to Nobel Prize caliber doctor.
This happens through the work of an angel, who goes by the name Number 2, and explains how the genius Doctor, Dr. Takahashi, is about to solve the problem of
blindness in newborns, except that he is about to die. Now they want the failed Dr. to take over his life. “We didn’t choose you then, but we are choosing you now.”
The journey this newly successful doctor embarks on takes him back to confronting the demons that brought him to alcoholism in the first place. He was a prison
doctor, and a good one, and saw something that shocked him into legal action against the prison. The prison obliterated him in court, fired him and sent him into a
psychological tail spin.
The circle gets a fiery close when the failed doctor, once in the genius doctor’s body, meets the genius doctor’s wife, and sees that the high level of professional
success was matched by an equal and opposite failure of family life. The genius doctor’s wife hates him. Their daughter hates both of them and has become a shop
lifting lesbian. The failed doctor, now in the body of this Asian genius doctor, finds a way to mend the coldness in the relationship. This upsets the daughter, who
goes to the police and reports that her father several years ago had illegal sexual relations with her.
This brings the good doctor back to meet his demons face to face. This time he’ll handle it differently. That’s what second lives are all about.
In the process he learns that success and failure are but two sides of the same page.

MISS HILDRETH WORE BROWN
by Olivia deBelle Byrd
While Olivia deBelle Byrd was repeating one of her many Southern stories for the umpteenth time, her long-suffering husband looked at her with glazed over eyes and said, “Why don’t you write this stuff down?” Thus
was born Miss Hildreth Wore Brown—Anecdotes of a Southern Belle. If the genesis for a book is to shut your wife up, I guess that’s as good as
any.
On top of that, Olivia’s mother had burdened her with one of those Southern middle names kids love to make fun. To see “deBelle” printed on the front of a book seemed vindication for all the childhood teasing.
With storytelling written in the finest Southern tradition from the soap operas of Chandler Street in the quaint town of Gainesville, Georgia, to a country store on the Alabama state line, Olivia deBelle Byrd delves with
wit and amusement into the world of the Deep South with all its unique idiosyncrasies and colloquialisms.
The characters who dance across the pages range from Great-Aunt Lottie Mae, who is as “old-fashioned and opinionated as the day is long,” to Mrs. Brewton, who calls everyone “dahling” whether they are darling or not, to Isabella with her penchant for mint juleps and drama.
Humorous anecdotes from a Christmas coffee, where one can converse with a lady who has Christmas trees with blinking lights dangling from her ears, to Sunday church, where a mink coat is mistaken for possum, will delight Southerners and baffle many a non-Southerner. There is the proverbial Southern beauty pageant, where even a six-month-old can win a tiara, to a funeral faux pas of the iron clad Southern rule—one never wears white after Labor Day and, dear gussy, most certainly not to a funeral.
Miss Hildreth Wore Brown—Anecdotes of a Southern Belle is guaranteed to provide an afternoon of laugh-out-loud reading and hilarious enjoyment.
