Book Synopsis Bid Whist at Midnight by : Marva Washington
Download or read book Bid Whist at Midnight written by Marva Washington and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-02-17 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The book opens at the home of Sardis, who invites Grace and Dorcus over at midnight for a card game of bid whist. The women had bonded in college over schoolwork, boyfriends, and card games, but haven’t interacted for nearly 20 years. As they play, they take turns revisiting the dark spaces of their pasts, as well as a dreaded event involving their friend Taletha. The women’s painful life decisions, traumas and losses unfold through a series of flashbacks, and readers also learn how the tragic early life of Eartha, Sardis’ mother, weighed negatively on Sardis’ life. The women’s stories unpeel like an onion’s layers, their life dramas interwoven with and strongly influenced by campus protests, violent police actions, Malcolm X, the black nationalist movement, and the Vietnam War. Overall, Bid Whist at Midnight is a thoughtful, well-developed novel whose characters and their plights stay with you long after the story closes.” —BlueInk Review “Washington’s novel is an epic tale of four friends experiencing the personal and cultural tumult of history as it turns. Sardis, Grace, Dorcus and Taletha meet as students at the historically black South Carolina State College in the late ‘60s. Each came to the school from vastly different communities and home lives. Sardis’ light skin gives her advantages in the world at large, although, at first, it gets her shunned by most of her darker-skinned classmates. Grace comes from “The Alley,” a lower-income neighborhood, while plain-looking Dorcus comes from a stable household with a professional father, but she is trying to gain confidence and find a boyfriend. Taletha’s weight and outspokenness make her a bit of an outcast, too. They become friends over the popular card game bid whist, as they share their secrets and struggles while the world around them heaves with racial and gender revolutions. The friends are torn apart by what becomes known as the Orangeburg massacre, a real-life protest at a bowling alley in which three people were killed and many more were injured.” —Kirkus Reviews “Washington tells a good story and she tells it very well. Romance, friendship, love and family obligation-universal topics-serve as ongoing themes, but the real-world situations the characters encounter transcend the fiction.” —iUniverse

The game starts with each team at zero, and the object of the game is to reach a score 7 or more points, or force the other team to go negative 7 or more points. Points are scored by bidding for and winning tricks, which in this game are called books.When the game first starts, the deck is shuffled and dealt around, and the person that draws the first diamond becomes the first dealer. Cards are dealt one at a time in a clockwise order. Each player is to receive 12 cards for a total of 48 cards. During the deal, six cards are to be placed face down in the centre of the table to form a kitty. The first four cards and the last four cards cannot be put in the kitty; apart from this the dealer can deal the kitty cards at any stage during the deal, either singly or several at one time.After each hand, the turn to deal passes to the left.Get your copy today by scrolling up and clicking Buy Now to get your copy today

Download or read book Black Sapphire written by V. L. Harris and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes an analogy of a black sapphire gemstone with stereotypical treatment of Americans against African American Women, the effects of an army of American women being ignored, devalued and hidden in plain sight! An ordinary, naturally formed rock begins deep inside the caverns of the earth. Unnoticed, uncut, and unpolished, it has no brilliance and no luster. When outside pressure is placed upon, underneath and around it, it rises to bring out and up to the surface something unique, authentic, beautiful, and valuable. These are natural treasures, hidden in plain sight-a resource, at a glance, just under the surface. A missed treasure hidden deep in the earth, just waiting to be discovered. So to the people, and in the case of this memoir, a Black woman who represent millions of Black women can be hidden, prejudged, ignored, marginalized, cajoled, and abused because of society's decision to see them as a caricature, a joke, a buffoon, a nag, and in a negative connotation a "black sapphire." This story is of a Black woman coming of age in the United States of America over several decades. She stumbles into her discovery that she is viewed through a different lens than her white counterparts. She is judged, contrary to the adage, "Don't judge a book by its cover. She is judged by the cover of her book-the color of her skin and not by the content of her skills, talent or character. Likewise, the adage, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," words can be abusive and inflict lifelong hurt, like ghost in your memory and minds, hanging around to haunt and hurt you again. Treated as a "third-class" citizen or as no citizen at all by fellow Americans is the story of millions who happen to be Black and female. Seen, yet not seen except as surface, superficial, and annoying outsiders, locked out of the mainstream of society, intentionally excluded so that their voices, dreams, needs, potential and desires are ignored, unrealized and unfulfilled. The effect is a national pool of talent, skills and human resources wasted. This book is a tribute to African American women as a natural valuable treasure, unrecognized, unvalued, hidden in plain sight. 80
