Book excerpt: From Essence bestselling author Kayla Perrin comes the compelling story of three generations of African-American women---of their deepest secrets and most cherished lies. The Grayson family is a pillar of the African-American community in New Orleans. But Sylvia Grayson, the matriarch, has deep secrets that she conceals beneath a veneer of propriety. She keeps a tight rein on her daughter, Olivia, and has the perfect life mapped out for her: go to college, join the Delta sorority, and marry the proper boy. After the town's "bad girl" is found murdered one summer day in 1975, Sylvia pulls Olivia even closer. But when Olivia's one last attempt at rebellion is subverted by her mother, Sylvia's relentlessly tight hold shatters the ties between them. Years later, Olivia's own daughter, Rachelle, is trying to make her way in the world. Olivia does not want to make the same mistakes as her mother, nor does she want her daughter to repeat the errors Olivia made out of rebellion. Meanwhile, a killer is watching from the shadows, determined to bring the secrets of the past to light. The Delta Sisters is a gripping, intimate portrait of what happens when these passionate women have to band together at last in the face of danger.
Book Synopsis Daughters of the Canton Delta by : Janice Stockard
Download or read book Daughters of the Canton Delta written by Janice Stockard and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1992-03-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes an extraordinary traditional marriage system, 'delayed transfer marriage', that is virtually unknown in the ethnographic literature on Chinese Society, though it was widely established in the Canton Delta. In striking contrast to the orthodox Confucian form of marriage, brides in delayed transfer marriages were required to separate from their husband shortly after marriage and return to live with their parents for at least three more years. During this customary period of separation, brides were expected to visit their husband on several festival occasions each year. Idelly, brides became pregnant about three years after marriage and then settled in the husband's home. The area in which delayed transfer marriage was the customary and dominant form of marriage encompassed the rich silk-producing district of the Canton Delta as well as adjacent rice-producing areas. The book analyzes the effect of economic change on the practice of delayed transfer marriage in the silk district.

Book excerpt: This novel of a Mississippi family in the 1920s “presents the essence of the Deep South and does it with infinite finesse” (The Christian Science Monitor). From one of the most treasured American writers, winner of a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize, comes Delta Wedding, a vivid and charming portrait of Southern life. Set in 1923, the story is centered on the Fairchilds, a big and clamorous family, who live on a plantation in the Mississippi delta. They are in the midst of planning their daughter’s wedding when a nine-year-old relative, Laura McRaven, whose mother has just died, comes to visit. Drama leads to drama, revelation to revelation, in a novel that is “nothing short of wonderful” (The New Yorker). The result is a sometimes-riotous view of a Southern family, and the parentless child who learns to become one of them.
Book Synopsis Daughter of the White River by : Denise Parkinson
Download or read book Daughter of the White River written by Denise Parkinson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic, true story of Helen Spence, the teenager who murdered her father’s killers in the insulated lower White River area of Arkansas in 1931. The once-thriving houseboat communities along Arkansas’s White River are long gone, and few remember the sensational murder story that set local darling Helen Spence on a tragic path. In 1931, Spence shocked Arkansas when she avenged her father’s murder in a DeWitt courtroom. The state soon discovered that no prison could hold her. For the first time, prison records are unveiled to provide an essential portrait. Join author Denise Parkinson for an intimate look at a Depression-era tragedy. The legend of Helen Spence refuses to be forgotten—despite her unmarked grave. “Most memorably, Parkinson evokes the natural beauty of the White River itself. But more importantly, she’s given Helen Spence, daughter of the river, a sympathetic hearing—something in its pulp version of events Daring Detective did not.”—Memphis Flyer “Denise details Helen’s life, from the murder of her father to the horrific treatment she received at the hands of the law, including how prison officials seemed to entice her to escape a final time, with the attempt culminating in her murder.”—Only in Arkansas

It's all sweet and innocent... until it isn't. ***** "Kel, you.... You're so close." She breathlessly whispered. I could feel her breath fan my face. My wolf was pushing forward wanting a taste of her, just one tiny taste of those sweet plump lips. Did they taste the same as her brown sugar and vanilla sent? Licking my bottom lip, I leaned forward, bending my head towards the crook of her neck. closing my eyes, I took in her alluring scent. Always smelling like warm brown sugar and a hint of vanilla. I breathed in as deeply as I could, filling my senses with her sweetness. It had become stronger in the past few weeks, intoxicating, overwhelming - pulling me to her. I opened my eyes, roaming her face until I settled on her own now, deep shades of evergreen. She wanted this too. I could see it in her eyes. She was curious, she too would say this was wrong, but she wanted to know. She parted her lips and licked them. My wolf zeroed in on that small movement causing him to growl, he wanted to taste those juicy lips - as much as I did. And nothing was going to stop us. Tingles started to erupt all over my body. Just the thought of kissing her sent my hormones into a flurry. I ached to touch her. Just a small taste, that's all we wanted. "Kel... What..." I didn't let her finish. I leaned in closer and brushed my lips against hers. Ever so softly my mouth moved against her lips, it was intoxicating. So much so that my body started to shake, whether it was in fear of losing control or because of nerves, I didn't know and I didn't care. I savagely pressed my lips harder against her. She let out a small gasp, allowing me to slip my tongue into her mouth. Just as I thought she would taste, brown sugar and vanilla. Everything that's sweet - but everything bad for you. This was wrong, we were like siblings. But it felt so good... so naughty. How could something so wrong feel this powerful? As her tongue swept across mine and she let out another small moan of pleasure, enjoying the passionate and deep kiss we were sharing, I stepped into her, so our bodies were closer. Her breathing was heavy, her perky and full breasts rising and falling with each deep intake of air. One little taste wasn't going to do it anymore. She was a drug and I wanted - needed more. **For a mature audience. Contains trigger chapter, explicit language, and scenes of a sexual nature **

Book excerpt: Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement.

From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.

Book Synopsis Death in the Delta by : Molly Walling
Download or read book Death in the Delta written by Molly Walling and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-08-11 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up, Molly Walling could not fathom the source of the dark and intense discomfort in her family home. Then in 2006 she discovered her father's complicity in the murder of two black men on December 12, 1946, in Anguilla, deep in the Mississippi Delta. Death in the Delta tells the story of one woman's search for the truth behind a closely held, sixty-year old family secret. Though the author's mother and father decided that they would protect their three children from that past, its effect was profound. When the story of a fatal shoot-out surfaced, apprehension turned into a devouring need to know. Each of Walling's trips from North Carolina to the Delta brought unsettling and unexpected clues. After a hearing before an all-white grand jury, her father's case was not prosecuted. Indeed, it appeared as if the incident never occurred, and he resumed his life as a small-town newspaper editor. Yet family members of one of the victims tell her their stories. A ninety-three-year-old black historian and witness gives context and advice. A county attorney suggests her family's history of commingling with black women was at the heart of the deadly confrontation. Firsthand the author recognizes how privilege, entitlement, and racial bias in a wealthy, landed southern family resulted in a deadly abuse of power followed by a stifling, decades-long cover up. Death in the Delta is a deeply personal account of a quest to confront a terrible legacy. Against the advice and warnings of family, Walling exposes her father's guilty agency in the deaths of Simon Toombs and David Jones. She also exposes his gift as a writer and creative thinker. The author, grappling with wrenching issues of family and honor, was long conflicted about making this story public. But her mission became one of hope that confronting the truth might somehow move others toward healing and reconciliation.
