This story will immerse and carry you through every situation as it happens, at times leaving you emotionally drained and exhausted, while at other times exhilarated. You’ll find yourself battling right alongside the Arners as they and the medical professionals do everything possible to save Kassie. You’ll witness the actual prayers as they’re being made. You’ll feel the excruciating sense of helplessness that could only be endured, not remedied. You’ll be filled with love and witness salvation in a way that only faith allows. Longshot to a Miracle relates how all parties worked with each other in an attempt to achieve the best possible outcome. It shows the lengths the doctors and nurses went through and their willingness to think outside the box. You’ll feel the depth of each life and death decision as they happen, pushing the medical envelope, using heroic efforts never before done. Even though Kassie had only the tiniest of chances to survive, you’ll see their willingness to give young Kassie, so full of life and potential, their all. It is raw emotion tied to innocence; it is heartache shackled to guilt. It is a battle against the inevitable, it is “Life’s Not Fair” at its ultimate, leaving you wanting for more with each new chapter. Longshot to a Miracle is a rollercoaster of a story that will allow you to venture to the bottom of human despair and witness the choice to have hope against all odds in a world where sometimes there is none.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.
