Stanley B. Graham's 'I Was Here: The Young Manhood and Education of Rick Stevens' (published by AuthorHouse), gives readers a new, un-idealized but inspiring take on the coming of age story.

EDEN, N.C. - 'The Allens have been wronged,' states Betsy Chandler, clearing the past accusations about her very dear, upright and remarkable J. Sidna Allen family, which has been publically eyed and scrutinized for more than 100 years. She contests the claims that they were outlaws, and characterizes their allegations as outlandish fabrications and provides proof that they were not criminals. She shines 'Light in A Dark Place' (published by Xlibris) and shares Biblical Principles to guide readers to choose Christ while at the same time using facts to free her grandfather and family from the accusations of gangsterism. Bringing to light their achievements along with her testimony, she says, has become 'the prime joy of my latter existence on this earth.'
