In The Dream Master: A Unique Fiction, we get to listen to this story, be a fly on the wall, as Philip and us are lead down a twisting path to a moment of illumination. This is a tale like no other, taken from the actual dreams of Author Jon DeLeon. "You may ask what about this is true and what is not. To the best of my ability, I have relayed the dream I had as a child. The story around the revelation of the dream and its meaning is meant as a tool to help you grasp and hopefully accept the truth. We are all dreaming, when we are awake and when we sleep. That is a gift. Always remember, you are in a dream, your dream. You have control. If you ever doubt that, or are lost, know that all you have to do--if you need help--is ask." - Author, Jon DeLeon

Born the second son of a woman farmer, south of Salem, North Carolina, young Jonathan Henry Hamilton strikes out on his own in 1835, and becomes an overseer on a large slave Plantation. His actions and rapport with others, especially his gang of Bounders, as the slaves were called on the Bethania Plantation, made him very popular, particularly with the daughter of the plantations owner. With His bride, and four bounders, who he frees, Jonathan strikes out for the territory, and soon to be state of Arkansas, and an arsenal of adventure, including the helping of a group of Eastern Cherokee from Georgia, who had escaped the Trail of Tears and taken refuge in the Great Smoky Mountains after the discovery of the gold on their homelands had caused them to be chased out of Georgia by the greed of the whites and US President Andrew Jackson. Jons reward for this help was enough gold to purchase all the lands, manpower, materials and even little town on the Saint Francis river in Northeast Arkansas to build a rice empire. The struggles of Empire building finally start paying off and Jonathans family and Moses landing ark begins to prosper. But, there is trouble on the horizon!

If all climates hen union gunboats and troops ascend the Saint Francis river to do battle with the Empire of Jonathan Henry Hamilton.

Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream is a collaborative effort to tell the life story of Jon A. Feucht, a man who was born with a form of cerebral palsy that left him reliant on a wheelchair for mobility, with limited use of his arms and an inability to speak without an assistive communication device. It is a story about finding one’s voice, about defying low expectations, about fulfilling one’s dreams, and about making a difference in the world. Sociologist C. Wright Mills famously called for a “sociological imagination” that grapples with the intersection of biography and history in society and the ways in which personal troubles are related to public issues. Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream heeds this call through a qualitative “mixed–methods” study that situates Feucht’s life in broader social context, understanding disability not just as an individual experience but also as a social phenomenon. In the tradition of disability studies, it also illuminates an experience of disability that avoids reading it as tragic or pitiable. Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream is intended as an analytical and empirical contribution to both disability studies and qualitative sociology, to be read by social science scholars and students taking courses in disability studies and qualitative research, as well as by professionals working in the fields of special education and speech pathology. Written in an accessible style, the book will also be of interest to lay readers who want to learn more about disability issues and the disability experience.
