Book Description
Upon encountering historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s quote, ‘well-behaved women seldom make history’, Malebo Sephodi knew that she was tired of everyone else having a say on who and what she should be. Appropriating this quote, Malebo boldly renounces societal expectations placed on her as a black woman and shares her journey towards misbehavior. According to Malebo, it is the norm for a black woman to live in a society that prescribes what it means to be a well-behaved woman. Acting like this prescribed woman equals good behavior. But what happens when a black woman decides to live her own life and becomes her own form of who she wants to be? She is often seen as misbehaving. Miss-Behave challenges society’s deep-seated beliefs about what it means to be an obedient woman. In this book, Malebo tracks her journey on a path towards achieving total autonomy and self-determinism. Miss-Behave will challenge, rattle and occasionally cause you to scream ‘yassss, yassss, yassss’ at various intervals.

The Flower Petal Murders
Author: Ray Johnson
Publisher: Club Lighthouse Publishing
ISBN: 1772170739
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
The first body was atypical in law enforcement terms because it had been left in an open field where it was bound to be discovered. To make certain it was found as left; someone called the LAPD division and informed them where it could be located. The first body was left in Jeff’s division and he and his partner were assigned to the case. Rather than hide the body of a naked woman, the murderer left it in a vacant field. The body was covered with red rose petals and red rose blossoms. To compound the irregularity, the woman’s breast and pubic area had been left uncovered. What was the significance? A clue, in the form of two initials, was left on the yoga mat and another initial in the dirt. Again, what was the relevance? The killer had been meticulous, leaving the body on an expensive yoga mat with the feet facing east. Jeff was tall at six feet, three inches. He was well built and weighed two hundred and twenty-five muscular pounds. Working out at his gym three days a week kept him in good physical condition. The women in his division thought he was extremely handsome, with light brown hair and fascinating gray eyes. His partner was shorter and less handsome. Jeff was by far the cleverer of the two and suspected this carefully planned murder might be the first of a repeater, a serial killer. Jeff’s suspicions were vindicated with the second body, this time left in a different division; causing interdivision rivalry. This body was also naked, covered with red carnations petals and blossoms. Again the breasts and pubic area had been left uncovered. Jeff was doing his best to keep the media from discovering that a serial killer was on the loose. His hopes for keeping the media in the dark were dashed when he was contacted by Cinda, a reporter for Los Angeles Magazine. Cinda was a strikingly beautiful young Black woman who was as clever as Jeff. She put two and two together and came up with serial killer. She offers Jeff a deal that he cannot refuse. To compound Jeff’s problems, the clues continue to point to religion, rather than serial murder. Why would a religious organization be murdering young women and leaving a trail of clues for Jeff to follow? Another naked young woman is found, covered in red flower petals, with clues again pointing toward religion; possibly a new religion. If Jeff is going to prevent any more young women from being murdered, he will have to find the killer and do it quickly. Just as important, he needs to keep him and Cinda from becoming the killer’s next victims.

Book Description
"You’d think a Miss America swimsuit winner would feel completely confident about her body, right? Not always! So I decided to write the book I wish I’d had as a teen and in college—an honest, funny, practical, medically accurate, totally reassuring guide to how women’s bodies actually look, smell, feel, behave, and change. Alongside real-deal photographs of women just like you and me (no airbrushing, no supermodels, no kidding) you’ll find medical pictures of things you need to be able to recognize, true confessions by yours truly, and the encouragement you need to appreciate the uniqueness, strength, and beauty of your body. What are you waiting for?"—Nancy Redd From fashion magazines to taboo Web sites, curious young women have access to tons of old wives' tales about and thousands of airbrushed and inaccurate images of the female body—misinformation and harmful portrayals that can lead to low self-esteem, self-destructive acts, or even disturbing plastic surgery procedures. Teaming up with a leading physician specializing in adolescent health issues, Harvard graduate and former Miss Virginia Nancy Redd now offers a down-to-earth, healing, and reassuring response to those damaging myths. In Body Drama, Redd gives girls insight into the issues they're often too ashamed to raise with a doctor or parent. She also reveals her own experiences with the culture of "American beauty," and shows readers all the many versions of "normal." From body hair and bras, to acne and weight issues, along with crucial issues such as the importance of a healthy self image, Body Drama is a groundbreaking book packed with informative fast facts, FYIs, how-tos, and moving personal anecdotes as well as hundreds of un-retouched photographs. A highly visual book, it’s the first of its kind for women: filled with real information and real photographs of real bodies, to celebrate all our different shapes and sizes. Named by Glamour magazine as one of America’s top-ten college women "most likely to succeed—at anything," Redd has spent the most recent years of her life on a mission to tackle the issues least discussed but most significant in young women’s lives. Celebrating the many versions of "normal," and replacing seriously erroneous information with the honest, medically proven truth in a language all girls can understand, Body Drama dares to empower a new generation—with facts instead of fantasies, and the priceless gift of self-knowledge.

Russell Jordan and Amber St. Claire are homicide detectives for the Los Angeles Police Department. Russel is tall, handsome, single, via divorce and a Sergeant on the promotion list for Lieutenant. Amber is a stunning true redhead, single, due to lifestyle and a shape, that could cause traffic to back up on Hollywood Boulevard. They have worked serial murderer cases before, but never a serial maimer. By the third victim it is evident that a pattern has been formed. By the fourth case, the puzzle pieces are starting to fall into place. The person behind these maiming was only attacking graduates of a single high school. The maiming is vicious, from limbs blown off to rapes that hospitalized. After twenty years, the graduates have scattered to the four winds: from humid New Iberia, Louisiana to bitter cold Fairbanks, Alaska. From snowy Colorado to the windswept high desert of California. To compound their problems, every assailant is different, some from foreign countries. More problems, local police departments do not like them investigating their crimes. The closer they come to untying the maiming Gordian Knot, the danger factor increases. Russell is shot at twice and hit once. They have two options, either discover who is behind these maiming, or become the next victims.
