About The Book
MEMOIRS OF A TAXI-MAN
Life behind the wheel offers more than a ride; it offers perspective.
Lew Smith wasn’t just driving through city streets. He was navigating choices, chasing purpose, and holding on to hope through the winding roads of life. Raised with structure but pulled by curiosity, his path led him through challenges that tested his character and shaped his journey. What began as a job soon became a mirror, revealing hard truths, surprising encounters, and moments that demanded heart.
This memoir is more than a story about a cab; it’s about finding direction when life feels off course and how faith, family, and personal reflection can steer us toward redemption.
About The Book
Josie: Going Up Yonder
Josie: Going Up Yonder is a heartfelt story of faith, family, love, resilience, and the enduring legacy of a remarkable woman. Set against the changing landscapes of the American South and North, the book follows Josie and her husband, Dan, as they build a life through hard work, sacrifice, family devotion, and an unwavering belief in God.
Through the joys and struggles of everyday life—from working the land and raising children to facing loss, hardship, and the challenges of moving from the South to New Jersey Josie remains a source of wisdom, strength, compassion, and prayer. Her influence reaches far beyond her immediate family, shaping the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
More than a remembrance of one woman, this is a celebration of a legacy built on faith, love, perseverance, and service to others. Josie’s journey reminds us that even when life knocks us down, faith gives us the strength to rise again and that the love we leave behind can continue through generations.
Josie: Going Up Yonder is ultimately a tribute to a life well lived and a love that endures beyond this earthly journey.
