Book excerpt: The voice of the book is reflective of the author and the life handed her, the values she learned to cherish and take with her through her journey. She learned to make the most of life's situations relying on her sense of humor to cope. Through the disappointments and failures, she recognized her weaknesses and turned to her faith to get her through. She attributes her courage of character, strength, and wisdom to a deep faith and trust in God. She bares her soul and becomes an open book such that you will find yourself laughing and crying, and oft times identifying with life as she lived it. Her ability to accept life "as is" and to find a comforting blend of laughter and sadness is one of the main threads throughout the book. The sharing of her life is unique and entertaining.

Publishers Weekly stated that, “Kilgore’s debut [Last Summer] ... offers an impressive array of distinct characters. The voices here are those of black women eloquently articu-lating their experiences ... Every piece conveys a struggle either with poverty, domestic violence, death or with simply being a black person in America, often complemented by a generous helping of irresistible humor.”

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize–winner and bestselling author, "a grand memoir.... Bragg tells about the South with such power and bone-naked love ... he will make you cry" (Atlanta Journal-Constitution). This haunting, harrowing, gloriously moving recollection of a life on the American margin is the story of Rick Bragg, who grew up dirt-poor in northeastern Alabama, seemingly destined for either the cotton mills or the penitentiary, and instead became a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter for The New York Times. It is also the story of Bragg's father, a hard-drinking man with a murderous temper and the habit of running out on the people who needed him most. But at the center of this soaring memoir is Bragg's mother, who went eighteen years without a new dress so that her sons could have school clothes and picked other people's cotton so that her children wouldn't have to live on welfare alone. Evoking these lives—and the country that shaped and nourished them—with artistry, honesty, and compassion, Rick Bragg brings home the love and suffering that lie at the heart of every family. The result is unforgettable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blessed with three beautiful daughters, the Christmas family thinks everything is normaluntil their middle daughter begins acting different than other children her age. As Katy grows older, her sisters, Hope and Babie, begin to notice the differences too. As she grows older, Katys actions earn her a nickname from her sister: Crazy. As Katys sisters watch helplessly, she blames others for her actions and fools her parents into believing in her self-proclaimed innocence. But when she enters fifth grade and is introduced to alcohol, the trouble truly begins. While she continually breaks rules and pushes the boundaries without her parents knowledge, Hope witnesses the impact of her actions and soon transforms her bitterness into revenge. As Babie ventures outside the norms of society and Crazy follows a dark path, it seems that no one in the Christmas family knows what normal is anymore. In this compelling tale, a family is unwittingly immersed into a bottomless pit of enabling as one of them battles her internal demons and tries to convince everyone around her she is not as crazy as she seems.

Download or read book Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister written by Kamané Malvo Marshall and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-06-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Summary Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister is a semi-autobiographical tale of seven women from the San Francisco Bay Area who are connected to each other by six-degrees-of-separation. Seeking redemption from heartbreak, infidelity, poor choices, rejection, self-sabotage, low self-esteem, and emotional and physical abuse, Natasha, Zinnia, Israel, Addison, Celeste, Lila, and Liberty endure the social and psychological pressures of being full-figured black women in a thin obsessed society. With wit, intelligence, glamour and style, and a twofold portion of sass, these soulful sisters possess faith in the midst of the storm, hope when tomorrow is not promised, and strength of character when giving up seems easier than doing the right thing. Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister is made up of six stories of redemption: Out of the Mind of Israel Ming, Daddys Girls, The Vibrator Virgin, Count it all joy, Saving Sister Jared, and Forgiving Liberty. Beautifully flawed, audaciously determined, and at times downright hilarious, Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister represents a new voice, an underrepresented story about the struggle of a unique minority group that has been misunderstood for a long time. Written in the rich and colorful language of the African American experience, by no means is this book tame. It deals with real issues women endure in modern day society, paying special attention to plus-sized African American females who confront prejudice and discrimination on three fronts: race, gender, and size. With messages of hope, self-acceptance, and second chances, Kamane Malvo Marshall encourages her readers to keep the faith no matter what.

Book excerpt: A delightfully subversive essay collection from Laci Mosley, host of the award-winning “Scam Goddess” podcast, about the frauds, cons, and schemes that make up our world—and how the scammer mindset has affected her own upbringing, career, friendships, love life, and more. From an early age, comedian and actress Laci Mosley knew her path would be riddled with scams, cons, robberies, and frauds. Little ones. Ones that didn’t hurt people or get her in trouble. But ones that would get her where she needed to be. “You see,” she writes, “everyone’s a scammer and everything’s a scam. Some people are better at it than others, but we all do it. The system wasn’t built for people like me. Scamming saved me and has taught me how to navigate a messy and unfair world while looking out for myself, too.” In Scam Goddess, Laci recounts how her scammer instincts have guided her throughout her life—from a religious childhood in rural Texas, to a stint as a city bartender at what might have been a drug front, to swindling her way past the gatekeepers of Hollywood—recounting the greatest true-crime scam stories that inspired her along the way. Whether it’s by the beauty industry, capitalism, or the people we date, we’re all getting scammed. In this book, Laci identifies the secrets to flipping the script and coming out ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I’m Nena and this is me at thirty. When you grow up, everything that once was, tends to be a fantasy. You’ll wish you learned sooner because life is far too short to be making the same mistakes. No one's perfect. In fact, most of us are raised by people with countless traumas. They have secrets and some of them go to the grave. But you have a choice and beyond those eyes I know you have a story, just like me. I hope that one day you take responsibility for it and have the courage to tell it. Because at thirty, we are not solid nor at any age. But with love, family, and pain comes wisdom and that is priceless.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 1997 Whiting Writers’ Award:Taut, persistent, and brilliantly cadenced, First, Body is a testament to the breathtaking virtuosity of Granta-acclaimed author Melanie Rae Thon Through nine searing works of fiction, Melanie Rae Thon looks to the people who live in the borderlands, turning a keen and compassionate eye to those marginalized by circumstance and transgression. Taking us from the cobblestone streets of Boston to a deserted Montana road, from dance halls to hospital morgues, these urgent tales careen between the faults of the body and those of the mind, exploring the irruption of the past through the present, the sudden accidents and misguided passions that make it impossible to return to the safe territory of a former life.
