Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Dapper Dan is a legend, an icon, a beacon of inspiration to many in the Black community. His story isn’t just about fashion. It’s about tenacity, curiosity, artistry, hustle, love, and a singular determination to live our dreams out loud.”—Ava DuVernay, director of Selma, 13th, and A Wrinkle in Time NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY VANITY FAIR • DAPPER DAN NAMED ONE OF TIME’S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD With his now-legendary store on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own innovative, glamorous designs. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. In this remarkable memoir, he tells his full story for the first time. Decade after decade, Dapper Dan discovered creative ways to flourish in a country designed to privilege certain Americans over others. He witnessed, profited from, and despised the rise of two drug epidemics. He invented stunningly bold credit card frauds that took him around the world. He paid neighborhood kids to jog with him in an effort to keep them out of the drug game. And when he turned his attention to fashion, he did so with the energy and curiosity with which he approaches all things: learning how to treat fur himself when no one would sell finished fur coats to a Black man; finding the best dressed hustler in the neighborhood and converting him into a customer; staying open twenty-four hours a day for nine years straight to meet demand; and, finally, emerging as a world-famous designer whose looks went on to define an era, dressing cultural icons including Eric B. and Rakim, Salt-N-Pepa, Big Daddy Kane, Mike Tyson, Alpo Martinez, LL Cool J, Jam Master Jay, Diddy, Naomi Campbell, and Jay-Z. By turns playful, poignant, thrilling, and inspiring, Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem is a high-stakes coming-of-age story spanning more than seventy years and set against the backdrop of an America where, as in the life of its narrator, the only constant is change. Praise for Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem “Dapper Dan is a true one of a kind, self-made, self-liberated, and the sharpest man you will ever see. He is couture himself.”—Marcus Samuelsson, New York Times bestselling author of Yes, Chef “What James Baldwin is to American literature, Dapper Dan is to American fashion. He is the ultimate success saga, an iconic fashion hero to multiple generations, fusing street with high sartorial elegance. He is pure American style.”—André Leon Talley, Vogue contributing editor and author

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'My life ain't easy, but I'm living it' is what I lived by because that's just the way life went. I had survived many storms, but nothing could have prepared me for what was about to go down behind the pages after this first one. Betrayal is best served on a silver platter, and that's just how it was served to me, but it broke me. Had me questioning things that should have never been questioned, hurting people that I held dear to my heart, and ignoring the red flags that I knew would bite me in the ass in the end. It broke me to the point that I didn't know where to turn. Heartbroken, confused, angry, but never bitter. I took every L and turned them into lessons. This was just another one. I was betrayed by the exact person I put on a pedestal so high she was sitting with God. She took something from me that I could never get back, and I respected that and canceled her. I don't want to give too much away, but if you don't receive any message from my story, remember this: It's the person that you are willing to die for that kills you in the end.

One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

They say "revenge is best served cold." I tried this. However, they didn't say that when the tables turn on you, revenge is just as hot and heated as a California forest fire. -Angel Sisters Angel and Alex find life difficult after the death of their mom and their father is non-existent after a heated blow-up. Having a daughter, Angel does whatever she has to, making sure that her daughter and sister are straight. Robbing drug dealers, dope boys, and high rollers was never a thought of Angel's until an opportunity rises and she takes advantage. Even knowing the high risks involved, Angel robs rich bosses until a single lick sets them up nicely. For the safety of her family, Angel breaks away from that life style until she crosses path with a devil from her past. Full of emotions and with revenge on the brain, Angel put into motion a vicious plan that karma finds her way in, turning the spiteful tides back on Angel. Alex is tired of Angel's Robinhood-esque adventures and is weary of the safety of her sister and their small family. Giving Angel an ultimatum, Alex is set to move on with her life with the love of her life, her best friend Maya. A drunken night of "girls just wanna have fun" leads to a third wheel joining in the fun. However, the couple gets more than they bargain for when their sexcapades end with unexpecting consequences. Will the dynamics of Alex and Maya's relationship change as a result of their drunken stupor? Forget hot water, Angel ends up in boiling water, triggering karma to enter and putting her in a unsavory position. Will ill-fated revenge and karma cause Angel's demise? Blended love, unruly treachery, high-key risks, and cold hearted revenge are found in this African American urban hood story. Newly signed author Lakia under Twyla T Presents kicks off her debut book in her knockout blazing new series, Surviving A Dope Boy: A Hood Love Story.

Book excerpt: This ethnography continues the "thick description" of faith-based and science-based drug programs begun in Addiction Treatment. Using extensive interviews and his own participation in daily rounds of treatment, Hood provides a vivid comparison of resident experience at each type of institution.Redemption and Recovery tells the stories of two houses in the Bronx, NY that serve people with drug problems: "Redemption House" and "Recovery House." These stories include the direct accounts of residents' "druggin'" lives before treatment and their search for normalcy after recovery or redemption. Other chapters dissect the religion of science-based treatment and compare success rates, religious vs. secular.Addiction Treatment had detailed a similar process of personal conversion central to both treatments. This sequel uses the "contextualized demographics" of residents to uncover profound parallels between the two "unique" programs and debunk their shared ideology of abstinence.
