Book Description
McWhorter, Kentucky, had undergone not only a facelift with new matching storefront windows but a much-needed heart transplant as well. The townsfolk were ready to bury the past and move on after many of their elected officials met an untimely death over a year ago. Sheriff Tillie Grant especially wanted to turn the page on the past. She stopped pining for Daniel Brooks, the father of her son, to return to her after leaving McWhorter to find his childhood sweetheart. She was now dating Lowell Evans, the handsome commonwealth’s attorney, and life seemed good in McWhorter until the day Jock Ledford returned. Jock Ledford had caused the town so much trouble when he was alive that now even from the grave he was causing problems. When his decaying body was found at the center of the town, it set in motion a series of crimes that took the town’s sleuths from the hollers of Kentucky to hell and back to solve. The secrets that Tillie and the town had so carefully concealed were about to be uncovered. With Daniel Brooks’s return to McWhorter, Tillie once again was faced with her feelings for Daniel. Tillie knew it was going to take a touch from heaven to not only heal her heart but to hold the town together. Her answer would be found in Halos, Hollers, and Hell.

Holler If You Hear Me
Author: Michael Eric Dyson
Publisher: Civitas Books
ISBN: 0786735481
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Acclaimed for his writings on Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as his passionate defense of black youth culture, Michael Eric Dyson has emerged as the leading African American intellectual of his generation. Now Dyson turns his attention to one of the most enigmatic figures of the past decade: the slain hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur. Five years after his murder, Tupac remains a widely celebrated, deeply loved, and profoundly controversial icon among black youth. Viewed by many as a "black James Dean," he has attained cult status partly due to the posthumous release of several albums, three movies, and a collection of poetry. But Tupac endures primarily because of the devotion of his loyal followers, who have immortalized him through tributes, letters, songs, and celebrations, many in cyberspace. Dyson helps us to understand why a twenty-five-year-old rapper, activist, poet, actor, and alleged sex offender looms even larger in death than he did in life. With his trademark skills of critical thinking and storytelling, Dyson examines Tupac's hold on black youth, assessing the ways in which different elements of his persona-thug, confused prophet, fatherless child-are both vital and destructive. At once deeply personal and sharply analytical, Dyson's book offers a wholly original way of looking at Tupac Shakur that will thrill those who already love the artist and enlighten those who want to understand him. "In the tradition of jazz saxophonists John Coltrane and Charlie Parker, Dyson riffs with speed, eloquence, bawdy humor, and startling truths that have the effect of hitting you like a Mack truck."-San Francisco Examiner "Such is the genius of Dyson. He flows freely from the profound to the profane, from popular culture to classical literature." -- Washington Postbr Philadelphia Inquirer "Among the young black intellectuals to emerge since the demise of the civil rights movement" -- undoubtedly the most insightful and thought-provoking is Michael Eric Dyson." -- Manning Marable, Director of African American Studies, Columbia University

Category : Fiction

Pages : 232
Book Description
Caney Paxton wanted his cafe to have the biggest and brightest sign in Eastern Oklahoma-the "opening soon" part was supposed to be just a removable, painted notice. But a fateful misunderstanding gave Vietnam vet Caney the flashiest joke in the entire state. Twelve years later, the once-busy highway is dead and the sign is as worn as Caney, who hasn't ventured outside the diner since it opened. Then one blustery December day, a thirtyish Crow woman blows in with a three-legged dog in her arms and a long-buried secret on her mind. Hiring on as a carhop, Vena Takes Horse is soon shaking up business, the locals, and Caney's heart...as she teaches them all about generosity of spirit, love, and the possibility of promise-just like the sign says.

Awaken
Author: Lori Adams
Publisher: Flirt
ISBN: 0804178860
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
The thrills continue in Lori Adams’s addictive series of paranormal romance—the Soulkeepers—featuring the hottest love triangle in this life . . . or the next. Sophia St. James has every reason to be happy: she survived the kiss of death from the seductive Demon Knight Dante and is free to be with Michael, her sexy Guardian Angel. She eagerly begins her Awakening to become a Spirit Walker and help lost souls cross over. But her training is fraught with setbacks, and Michael begs her to stop. The life of a Spirit Walker is far too dangerous, and he won’t be able to protect her. Then Dante returns, threatening to drag Sophia to Hell so they can finally be together. Terrified of losing everything she has worked for, Sophia turns the tables on Dante, luring him into a deception that may get them both killed. The stakes climb even higher when Dante’s ally, Wolfgang, emerges from Hell with one order: kill Sophia. Will Michael once again be Sophia’s saving grace or will the Awakening give her the power she needs to save herself? Praise for Awaken “In a clash between heaven and hell, no one raises the heat like Spirit Walker Sophia and her Guardian Angel, Michael.”—Cecy Robson, award-winning author of the Weird Girls series “Awaken is as page-turning and sigh-inducing as Forbidden. I can’t wait to see what Lori Adams pulls off next!”—Cassie Mae, author of The Real Thing “Dual plotlines of good and evil provide a well-rounded universe; Hell never seemed so charming.”—Library Journal “If you are looking for an amazing and unique paranormal romance that never has a dull moment, has an intense love triangle, fabulous characters and a captivating, action-filled plot, then look no further than this highly addictive series. . . . Five stars.”—The Avid Book Collector “Wow, Lori Adams’s imagination blew me away! The world building in the entire Soulkeepers series has been extraordinary. . . . Did you ever read a book and think to yourself, how the heck did the author come up with such an original and creative idea? . . . Awaken is just such a work.”—Tome Tender “A stunningly impossible love, set in a beautiful winter wonderland backdrop. . . . I eagerly await the final installment of this series.”—TJ Loves to Read “Adams continues . . . luring the reader into her world of paranormal wonder and excitement. [She’s] so talented that the reader almost forgets they can’t grab the character’s hand.”—Charlotte’s Book Review “I cannot wait to see what the conclusion of the series brings . . . if it’s anything like the first two, be prepared for twists, turns, and lots and lots of steaminess!”—Books by Night, Mommy by Day “The ending was just awesome. . . .
