Book Description
Every night of revival--1945 to 1956--the Evangelist and his family carried the mostly Appalachian folks to whom they ministered on up to a higher place. Worn down bodies in from the heat and dust of a sharecropper's cotton fields or unventilated rooms of the mill barely made it over to the local Pentecostal church house, to the shelter of a raised-up tent or bush arbor. But by the time they sang, shouted, and prayed in response to the Skondeen family's music and preaching, something shifted. In Hidden Biscuits, Audrey Skondeen Ward's memories come alive by way of her writing, as words, songs, and voices long silent are connected through a Deep South landscape.

Book Description
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • "A stunning exposé of why Black people in our society 'live sicker and die quicker'—an eye-opening game changer."—Oprah Daily From an award-winning writer at the New York Times Magazine and a contributor to the 1619 Project comes a landmark book that tells the full story of racial health disparities in America, revealing the toll racism takes on individuals and the health of our nation. In 2018, Linda Villarosa's New York Times Magazine article on maternal and infant mortality among black mothers and babies in America caused an awakening. Hundreds of studies had previously established a link between racial discrimination and the health of Black Americans, with little progress toward solutions. But Villarosa's article exposing that a Black woman with a college education is as likely to die or nearly die in childbirth as a white woman with an eighth grade education made racial disparities in health care impossible to ignore. Now, in Under the Skin, Linda Villarosa lays bare the forces in the American health-care system and in American society that cause Black people to “live sicker and die quicker” compared to their white counterparts. Today's medical texts and instruments still carry fallacious slavery-era assumptions that Black bodies are fundamentally different from white bodies. Study after study of medical settings show worse treatment and outcomes for Black patients. Black people live in dirtier, more polluted communities due to environmental racism and neglect from all levels of government. And, most powerfully, Villarosa describes the new understanding that coping with the daily scourge of racism ages Black people prematurely. Anchored by unforgettable human stories and offering incontrovertible proof, Under the Skin is dramatic, tragic, and necessary reading.

Pages : 106
Book Description
75: a number a passage a present By: Audrey Ward Illustrations by Olivia Ducharme Adventures in aging are not for the faint of heart, as author Audrey Ward discovers in these pages. When the apartment she planned to occupy upon retirement proves to be unreasonable, she stashes her downsized belongings and heads off to Europe, packing little more than the accumulated mettle of her seventy-five years. Ms. Ward spends her rent on buses, trains, and planes from Austria to the Czech Republic, over to the Swiss Alps, then Italy, Ireland, and the French Mediterranean, ending up in a Paris apartment for two months. Along the way, she meets up with friends and is often reminded of the vagabond life of her Appalachian childhood and of living in the Provençal region of France when her children were young. The illustrations included are line drawings by her fifteen-year-old granddaughter Olivia, who, along with her brother Will, seventeen, traveled with their grandmother for the first two weeks of the expedition. A lot of people have said they envied Audrey Ward taking such a trip; others frowned, incredulous. Still, others surmised that she was losing her mind to attempt such a passage on her own. The reader can decide independently.
