 The
African American Book of Values by
Steven Barboza (Author) (Hardcover - Sep 15,
1998)
In this massive anthology,
Steven Barboza reveals the story of the
African American as largely a story of good triumphing over evil, in a myriad of
forms. "This book," he writes, "can give children, families, teachers and friends
glimpses of values in action and provide moral examples that any reader can recognize."
Culled from many short-story and novel excerpts, poems, and essays, the collection
is divided into three distinct headings. "The Book of Self-Mastery" examines self-discipline,
courage, honesty, self-esteem, work, tenacity, creativity, and faith through texts
such as
Ralph Ellison's "Little Man at Chehaw Station,"
historian
Charles Blockson's heroic "The Ballad of the
Underground Railroad," and
Alain Locke's philosophical battle cry of the
Harlem Renaissance, "The New Negro."
Charles Chesnutt's "The Wife of His Youth,"
James Weldon Johnson's stereotype-smashing
look at Harlem in "Black Manhattan," and
Martin Luther King's immortal "Letter from
a Birmingham Jail" illuminate many of the themes in "The Book of Empathy," including
family, community and responsibility.

Bianca in, Love B-Ball Style
by
Joy King, is a young woman focused
on her blossoming career and not interested in a relationship until she
falls in love with the egotistical, superstar NBA player, Glen Goodman.
His ego is only a slight problem in comparison to his superficial girlfriend
Sasha. What starts off as a business relationship between Bianca and Glen
spirals into a love triangle that leads one to ask is love b-ball style
worth it? |
|
After attempting suicide, Kennedy in,
These Are My Confessions by
Electa Rome Parks, narrowly escapes
losing her life over issues involving a womanizing man. Her therapy is daily
writing in a journal that details the erotic journey that led to her despair
and in the end she discovers sobering truths about herself and those around
her. |
|
If the saying- everything is bigger in
Texas, is true, then Alexis in, Strapped by
Cheryl Robinson, just may find what
she's looking for, which is a man who's strapped. On a quest to sexually
liberate herself over her summer vacation, this Detroit middle school teacher
fresh off a break-up spends time in Dallas visiting her sister and finds
a lot more than she bargained for. From strip clubs to private swinging
parties to the online world of anonymous sex...anything and everything is
available for those who are interested in doing much more than chatting.
But when Alexis steps outside of cyberspace for a face-to-face meeting that
turns deadly, the one person who comes to her rescue is interested in much
more than a thank-you. |
|
Lucky in, Divas Need
Love Too by
Méta Smith, went from waitress to
platinum recording star with a string of hits and a Miami mansion in no
time. Now she's back home in the Windy City to tease and torture the handsome
cheating stud that broke her heart. But the man's hot loving may be too
hard for her to resist.
