by William D. Andrews A postal worker raised on welfare is struggling to raise his own large family; Bill qualifies for food stamps, but his pride refuses them to allow him to take advantage of this aid. Enter Tubalow, a friendly alien who tries to get Bill to accept the help. In the process, William D. Andrews reviews injustice, frustrations, hopelessness, racism, laziness, lack of ambition, and political and system bondage. He touches on alcoholism, racial profiling, medical manipulation, and established targeting of potentially successful minorities. He portrays joy and sadness, yet stimulates hope. Andrews writes to provoke ambition, success, and endurance when none seems to be present. We witness injustice and inequity we accept as common practice. Andrews points to the way to immeasurable success to the person who is faithful to the end as we question ourselves about our practices, beliefs, and actions. This story is based on true-life events with a fictional comedy twist. Every character (except Tubalow the lovable alien) is a real person or animal living in the last sixty years. Which one are you? ABOUT THE AUTHOR William D. Andrews was born in Gates, Pennsylvania. His family of seventeen children lived in a rundown house, yet his mother still had enough to share with so many others. After graduating from high school, William became a minister and traveled extensively, emphasizing the training of preachers. He spent many years as a postal employee and moved his job with his ministry. He refused to become a rights advocate for fear of becoming an angry man, and an angry man cannot preach God’s eternal love, forgiveness, and restoration.
