Divorced and living in a converted garage, John Peoples thinks his difficulties are over when he wins half of a $40 million lottery jackpot. But his boss, Ed White, bought the winning ticket for the two of them, and only Ed's name is on the ticket. When White makes clear his intention to cut John out of the winnings and then disappears with the entire jackpot, John embarks on an effort to find White and right the wrong.

During his quest, John suffers a debilitating spine injury and struggles to heal physically and emotionally. Yet he continues pursuing White from Los Angeles to Paris to Marseille. Along the way, he tries navigating the legal system, meets a woman he believes he can only dream about, and eventually engages the help of organized crime. Ultimately, he is faced with the question of how far he is willing to go to retrieve and protect what is his.

John B. Peoples is more than the study of a character out to correct an injustice. It takes us on a powerful journey while examining loss, personal growth, and the everyday challenges of life in America today.

For anyone who grows citrus or wants to begin, this book offers complete, up-to-date information for selecting and growing both new and tried-and-true varieties of oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and kumquats, as well as exotic citrus. Author Lance Walheim tailored the book to gardeners in California, Arizona, Texas, the Gulf Coast, Florida and the southern Atlantic states of Georgia and South Carolina, but also explains how to grow citrus successfully in cold-winter areas and indoors. Walheim offers practical methods for making citrus part of outdoor living areas-in entries, backyards, courtyards, and even in containers for patio gardens. He also tells how, with the varied harvest seasons of citrus, one can grow and enjoy fresh fruit almost year-round. Walheim also discusses alternative, organic methods of pest control.
