Product Description

In a north Florida turpentine camp in 1915, the birth of Jack Thomas, an illegitimate child, to a 15 year old single girl was nothing extraordinary. Neither was Jack's kidnapping and enslavement in an illegal child labor camp. But his leading federal authorities to arrest the operators and close those labor camps at the age of 15 made the national news. So did his leadership and bravery in World War II that led to his winning the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Jack's search for a healthy beverage for the public leads to the discovery of how to make orange juice that tastes nearly as good as fresh-squeezed but is more convenient and available year around. He subsequently builds the largest juice company in the world. This is a historical novel comprised of both fiction and non-fiction. The fictional part tells an incredible story about one man's determination to succeed against overwhelming odds. The non-fiction part is a factual description of the birth, growth and challenges of a unique industry in its endeavor to satisfy the consumer's search for product superiority, fresh-squeezed taste and convenience. It also enables readers to experience the old Florida, the way it was before all the theme parks and condos.

Encouraged by South Beach, The Zone and a ton of other popular diet books on the market, the authors of "The Grapefruit Solution" hope to have the next best seller. The book by Winter Haven entrepreneur Daryl Thompson and Joe Ahrens of Lake Alfred, former director of scientific research for the Florida Department of Citrus, will be in bookstores next month. It shows how all forms of grapefruit, including a pill sold by Thompson's company, Diaeta Inc., can help "lower your cholesterol, lose weight and achieve optimal health with nature's wonder fruit," as the subtitle says. And it works with any diet from low carb to low fat. (Book available April 2004.)

Waring PCJ201 Citrus Juicer, Quite White - $89.72
Heavy Duty Motor!
If you're looking for a heavy-duty juicer to whip up your morning glass of tangerine-grapefruit juice, look no further. This is a solidly built juicer that you'll want to leave on the counter all the time--and it's heavy enough that you'll want to give it a permanent, accessible spot. Slower than some juicers, it's consistent and powerful, squeezing every last drop of juice from even a large grapefruit. The majority of the pulp collects in the reamer basket--add as much as you like! The spout pours directly into most tumblers up to 12 ounces, and by adjusting the reamer, you can make the operating switch convenient for left- or right-handed users.

Bellemere by Walter Allen - $19.95
Bellemere is a novel that transcends generations within the Taylor family, beginning with the Civil War and concluding as World War II comes to an end. The challenges faced by each generation provide each character with opportunities to grow personally, financially, spiritually -- as well as opportunities to fade from grace and shrink from responsibility and achievement.

Long before Orlando was known as the mecca for tourists from around the world...long before there was a space program that blasted Americans into history...long before swimming pools and motion picture studios, Orlando was a virgin land offering challenges to those with vision. Among the early pioneers to the area were cattle herders and agriculturalists who saw what the land might provide. Will Taylor saw the future in citrus.

Challenged by killing freezes (such as the chill of 1894) and the deadly canker infestations of the 1920's, citrus grower Will Taylor and his family earn their place of respect in old Orlando. Through war and peace, triumph and tragedy, through love and hate, one thing shines through: family is everything.
