Описание: El Doe Ray Doe (Who Knew?) tells the story of an underprivileged black youth named Wilbert who grows up in a Southern city in the 1950s and 1960s. There he experiences racism and poverty along with mental and physical abuse at the hands of a father who is incapable of love or the willingness to show it. Although isolated in the boundaries of a small neighborhood, Wilbert receives help from other members of his beloved family.

Wilbert does not understand why blacks are being treated the way they are and why the elders do not fight harder for their rights. Through the teachings of Big Mama, he begins to understand why things are the way they are and probably will not change anytime soon. Just when things seemed to make a turn for the better, in a period of less than a week, he will lose two of the most influential women in his life, creating a downward spiral that is only rectified with the help of a beloved friend and classmate, and a family he will never forget.

About the Author

Wilbur A. Carrigan grew up in a small southern city in Arkansas. He was drafted in army and served as an X-ray technician. After he was honorably discharged in 1974, Wilbur moved to Detroit and worked for GM.

After retiring from GM in 2000 at age 48, Wilbur moved to Chicago, got a managerial job at a local golf course and pursued his lifelong dream of getting a Class A PGA card. After two years, Wilbur realized his playing time was reduced to a couple rounds a week. Wilbur's idea of retirement was to play golf, but in pursuit of a card, his playing skills were diminishing because of a lack of practice and playing time, so he gave up the dream. With retirement and the long winters in Chicago, Wilbur decided to pursue another lifelong dream to write and become a published novelist.

Wilbur is married and they have a son and daughter.

Описание: Introduction by Geordie Greig, Editor, The Mail on Sunday. A tribute to mark a record-breaking 63 years on the throne. When she was just 21 the then Princess Elizabeth made the people of the Commonwealth of Nations a solemn promise. ГЇВїВЅI declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.ГЇВїВЅ None who heard her words could have known she would go on to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Yet on September 9, 2015 that is her momentous achievement. Here The Mail on Sunday tells the story of some of her happiest and most glorious moments. We recount, too, the sadnesses she has borne, both in her family life and in the life of the country she rules. Both are the core of our nationhood; they are our islandГЇВїВЅs history. Long to reign over us indeed.
